A reversed upside down and absolutely backwards fairytale. 
      The land of Cadaecus is in chaos. The much beloved king Myron has just been brutally killed in a violent coup. Bandits and outlaws roam the formerly peaceful lands, monsters walk the earth, nowhere is safe. Out of sight, dark magic festers and grows. 
     Isolated, a young prince is confined to a castle awaiting rescue, convinced he is destined for love. 
     A legendary gladiator wanders the borderlands, her life in shambles and her heart set only on her next payment in gold. 
      The threads of fate interweave in strange ways. Paths cross where some should and some that will not be easy. There is never a guarantee of happy endings.

The King's Hand by floweringwhimsy
7 parts Ongoing Mature
A King. A Duke. A Count with a dangerous amount of influence, and the daughter he would do anything to protect. ---- "Are you alright?" She doesn't respond. "Cassie..?" He's in front of her, bringing a hand to her face as he looks down at her. She flinches at his touch. "Don't." There's a flash of confusion in his eyes, but he obliges, drawing his hand back slowly and letting it fall to his side, still watching her intently. She takes a step back from him, unable to meet his gaze. "We- I shouldn't- I shouldn't be alone with you. In here. If anyone- if anyone knew they- they'd start saying things and-" She brushes past him before he's able to form a response. "I- I have to go." "Cass-" -- A self-indulgent little period piece, because who doesn't love a classic medieval fantasy romance? (Cover Image from Pinterest, temp)

The Fallen Heir by AshwoodLore

Betrayed by blood. Abandoned by love. Sent to die. Prince Edric was cast aside-exiled to war by the very man who should have protected him. He fought, he survived-only to return home and find the ultimate betrayal: his wife, now queen, married to his father. Love is a weakness he will never bow to again. Then he meets Adelina-a blind woman fleeing a past more brutal than his own. She is untouched, unclaimed... until him. What begins as chance turns into obsession-hungry kisses by the fire, forbidden touches in the dark, a longing so fierce it could destroy them both. But Adelina is a woman who believes she is unworthy of love, and Edric is a man who has vowed never to need it again. When she chooses the safety of a monastery over him, he rides away-until her desperate cry shatters the silence. She runs after him, reckless, breathless, hungry for more than the life she was given. Now, with his father hunting him and his enemies closing in, Edric must fight for the one thing he swore he'd never need again-love. The Fallen Heir is a tale of revenge, obsession, and unrelenting passion-where desire is a dangerous game, and surrender is the ultimate victory.
