Mother of chaos by milacuadros

Humans are the scum of the world. Powerless, landless, without a place among the Four Courts. To survive, Sienna and Astrid became assassins-shadows in a land that despised them. But when betrayal strikes their home, Sienna makes an impossible bargain: she sells her soul to save her sister. Now a slave to the Earth Court, marked by a memory that isn't hers and hunted by a prophecy that threatens to ignite war, Sienna will learn that her fate is not to run... but to rule. If the prophecy is true, her child will be indestructible. And she will be the queen who was never meant to exist.

Secrets of blooming estate book one by skywillettspetersen

For generations, the Blooming Estate has been shrouded in mystery-its sprawling grounds hiding more than just ancient stonework and wild gardens. Whispers of dark magic, strange occurrences, and the elusive Society of scholars who guard its secrets have drawn the curious and the daring alike to its gates. Sophia Marlowe was born into this enigmatic world, raised under the weight of the Estate's hidden power. As she unravels the mysteries of her family's legacy, she finds herself entangled in a web of ancient forces, forbidden knowledge, and a dangerous society determined to control it all. But the deeper she delves into the Estate's secrets, the more she realizes the peril of unlocking the past-and the heavy cost of wielding the Garden's power. With the fate of the Estate and the world beyond it hanging in the balance, Sophia must decide whether to protect the power that has consumed her family for centuries, or to destroy it forever. In a place where nothing is as it seems and even the land itself pulses with hidden magic, one wrong move could unravel everything. *The Secrets of the Blooming Estate* is a gripping tale of dark legacies, forbidden power, and the search for truth in a world where the line between magic and danger is perilously thin.

An ancient curse plagues the Green Court, rotting the king by day and turning him into a bloodthirsty beast by night. Unraveling it will reveal dark secrets and create even darker ones.
