angst atalanta castle dystopian enemies enemiestolovers greekmythology icharus interracial jealous lovers medusa perseus possessive

It is said that no one has seen princess Asua since her ninth birthday. After a mysterious incident eight years ago that reportedly left the princess horribly disfigured. The townspeople took to calling her, temerata, the desecrated one. The news soared far and wide, with each assumption more ludicrous than the next. Some people claimed she's missing an eye while others claim a leg. Traveling jesters sing, from kingdom to kingdom, the tale of a princess with horrid burns from head to toe. 
 
  Meanwhile on the opposite end of the continent prince Eruoseus is under threat of being removed from his position of heir. The rumors are unclear on whether it's due to his womanizing ways or simply his arrogance. The prince has been tasked with the burden of assassinating the ruined princess and stealing the eternal flame from her palace.
  
 However, things don't always go according to plan for the young heirs, especially when you involve the fates.All Rights Reserved

Astral the Beginning by mrunknownwriter24

What happens when the flames of destruction engulf your entire village, leaving only ashes of the life you once knew? When your sister is stolen by a dark organization that worships the Goddess of Death, a shadowy group branded as a universal threat by every empire? What happens when you, too, are cursed-marked by a legendary vampire-forced to wield a sinister, unknown magic that threatens to transform you into one of them? This is the story of Asuma, a young man burdened by a shattered past, an ominous curse, and the weight of the impossible. As he journeys across the vast and perilous world of Anorak, Asuma must navigate the intricate web of imperial politics, fend off the lurking demonic forces seeking to claim his soul, and unravel the mysteries that could either save or destroy him. This is an original story, crafted entirely from my imagination. Each character is a unique creation, born from the depths of my mind to bring this tale to life. Updates will vary depending on my schedule, but I promise a minimum of two chapters per week to keep the adventure going. Thank you so much for reading!

Bride of the Greek Prince by AshleyMarWrites

Perdita just wanted a vacation. Three weeks free of a certain annoying coworker constantly one-upping her. No impossible demands by a boss looking for any excuse to fire her. No nagging from her father and step-witch about when she is going to give them grandchildren like her perfect step-sister. Three weeks of relaxation on a Nile River cruise... But misfortune seems to follow Perdita (could it be because she was named after the tragic Shakespearean character?). Before she can settle into her vacation, Perdita falls into an exhibit on the ship, accidentally touching an ancient relic of unknown origin. Perdita finds herself being transported to ancient Egypt where she is being tried as a criminal... Lucky, or unlucky for her, Mycenaean prince Acacius takes in interest in her, calling her "Helen." He decides to bring her back to Mycenae with him to serve him as his wife. Perdita soon finds herself wrapped up in ancient politics, war, magic, and love... She wanted a vacation... not an adventure... *Some liberties have been taken with dates and historic events. Some changes are explained throughout the story and will make sense as you read... others are to make the timeline fit :)*

Divine Desires: Echoes of the Gaze by heyzelasadobe

In the ancient, mythical city of Aethria, where legends and gods once walked among mortals, a unique and captivating love story unfolds. "Echoes of the Gaze" weaves a tale of two individuals who defy destiny's cruel twists, embracing the beauty within their imperfections. Medusa, the infamous Gorgon with snakes for hair, lives a secluded life in the ruins of a forgotten temple on the outskirts of Aethria. Cursed by Athena for her breathtaking beauty and the consequences of a tragic betrayal, she now bears the burden of turning anyone who gazes into her eyes into stone. Her heart aches for connection, but her curse keeps her isolated, yearning for a love she believes is unattainable. In the heart of Aethria resides Alexios, a gentle and talented musician who lost his sight in a childhood accident. Despite his blindness, he has learned to navigate the world with grace and courage, using his heightened senses of touch, sound, and intuition. His music is renowned throughout the city, captivating all who hear it. One fateful day, while wandering the ruins in search of inspiration for a new composition, Alexios stumbles upon Medusa's forgotten temple. Unbeknownst to him, he gazes in her direction, but his blindness saves him from her curse. Intrigued by the presence of another person in her desolate world, Medusa remains hidden, observing him from the shadows. As Alexios explores the temple, he discovers a beautifully sculpted statue, seemingly carved from the finest marble. He is inexplicably drawn to this life-like figure and begins to play a haunting melody on his lyre. The enchanting notes fill the temple, and Medusa, hidden behind a pillar, is captivated by the music... A.N - second book of Divine Desires :)

Hearts Entwined in Battle by HeathensChrist

Summary In the midst of a fracturing empire, three hearts collide on the battleground of a fierce civil war, weaving a complex tapestry of love and conflict. General Lysander, a stoic and strategic leader of the royal army, and Captain Thalia, a fiery rebel commander, begin as fierce adversaries. Their initial encounters are fraught with tension and animosity, each dedicated to their cause but undeniably drawn to the other's formidable spirit and tactical brilliance. Their battles are not only fought with swords but with words, as each confrontation leaves them more intrigued and conflicted. Enter Eris, a cunning diplomat whose allegiance sways with a persuasive eloquence that masks a deeper, more personal agenda. Eris knows Lysander and Thalia not just as enemies but as former lovers, now torn apart by war and duty. Seeing the potential for peace and personal gain, Eris manipulates events to force the three of them into an uneasy alliance. As the war intensifies, so does the trio's emotions. Forced to confront their pasts and the growing feelings between them, Lysander, Thalia, and Eris find themselves in a tumultuous negotiation of desire and duty. Through secret meetings, dangerous liaisons, and heart-wrenching betrayals, they must navigate their personal conflicts and their responsibilities to their people. With the empire's fate hanging in the balance, the three must decide if their newly forged bonds are strong enough to challenge their loyalties and perhaps alter the course of the war. Can they transform their fiery enmity into a polyamorous love strong enough to unite their divided world, or will their passions ignite the flames of destruction? **Hearts Entwined in Battle** explores the complex dynamics of love and loyalty, questioning whether the heart can truly be the path to peace in a world torn by conflict.

A Wayward Arrow by AmbrosePeters

A story of love, lust, and the soul. In all his years, he had done the bidding of the gods. Made matches of lust and love for whichever maiden or man or god or whichever tide of fate that one so wanted. Never had he ever shot an arrow for himself, nor had he taken anyone as his own beyond that of his bed chambers. It was always for someone else. Not that he minded. What would the God of lust do with someone once he had his fill of them? In his palace, enchanted with maids and servants, the son of Aphrodite and Ares, Eros wanted for nothing because no God, not even the mighty Zeus, dared cross him. Even the god that others feared still did not like to upset his mother or disobey her. That was till he saw Psyche and accidentally felt the full effect of his own arrow. New chapters every Tuesday and Fridays!

Mercy & Fire by gnbrave

Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language. Look for (!) as warnings. * Also available on Neobook @gnbrave. *
