Fyra has always known that her town is cursed. Harvests fail, accidents cause injuries, and magic swirls through the streets, bringing chaos with it. This is all the fault of the Magician. He is one of the Blessed, magic from birth--and his Blessing is the ability to cast curses. Every year, those in the town who are discovered to be Blessed are sent to defeat him. None have yet returned.
Fyra is one of the Blessed. She has the power to communicate with deathbirds--scavengers who have the uncanny ability to sense death's approach. Though she tries to hide what she is, the villagers discover her Blessing, and send her off with three other Blessed to defeat the Magician. But the journey ahead of her and her companions is difficult. Will they choose to turn aside? Will they succeed in their quest? Or will they be killed by the Magician, like so many others before them?

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019 by Kehanni

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixie

The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace by Tyler6318

In the mystical land of Elysium, where magic weaves through every leaf and whispers secrets to the wind, a darkness begins to stir. For centuries, the balance between light and shadow has been maintained by the guardians of Elysium, a group of powerful sorcerers sworn to protect the realm from evil. But when a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces, foretelling the rise of a malevolent force known only as the shadow, the fate of Elysium hangs in the balance. As whispers of dark omens spread like wildfire, a young orphan named Lyra finds herself thrust into a world of magic and danger. With nothing but a mysterious amulet and her wits to guide her, Lyra embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and stop the shadow from consuming the realm. Along the way, she allies herself with a ragtag group of misfits: a brooding warrior with a haunted past, a cunning thief with a heart of gold, and a wise old sage with secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate treacherous forests, ancient ruins, and deadly creatures as they race against time to thwart the shadow's sinister plans. But as the darkness closes in around them, Lyra discovers that the true power to save Elysium lies within herself - if only she can unlock it in time. Filled with breathtaking magic, epic battles, and unforgettable characters, "The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace" is a spellbinding tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of darkness.

In the Open Cage by dark_affinity

When escaping the house for a few hours of freedom goes horribly wrong, Misa Carpenter unwittingly captures the attention of a man she comes to despise. He wants her for the magic she never knew she had. Instead of an arrest that could lead to her execution, he proposes a bargain that would set her free from the prison she called home, a bargain she can't refuse. Having no other choice, Misa is plunged into the dangerous world of witches in search of the most powerful and dangerous of them all. The task is deceptively easy. Find the witch and eliminate her. All Misa wants to do is fulfill her end of the bargain so she could finally be free. But things aren't always so simple. Learning magic to blend in forces Misa to confront her greatest fears, and as she grows to understand the man who flipped her world upside down, she realises she might have quite literally gotten much more than what she bargained for. _______ Rated 16+ for swearing, depictions of psychological and physical abuse (by the villain), and mild sexual content

Eternal Winter by blushing_elephants

Waking up, alone in the cold and surrounded by snow with no memories of how she got there or who she even is, was not how Lyra would have wished to start her new life.

But just when she begins to accept her new life, even amidst the ominous, never-ending snowfall, she is forced on the run. As she hunts down the very person who started it all--and sentenced her new beginning to death--she finds missing pieces of her past. Although, it's a past she wishes she never remembered, because, maybe then, she would have been able to live without guilt...or fear. Completed @blushing_elephants Book One of Lost Time Originally a collection of short stories created through various prompts in my high school's Writing Club, please enjoy!

A Heart Untamed by kaycat_writes

Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.
