She'd been running her entire life. Now, it might not be enough. 
Hounded day and night by unearthly men, Eloise has never stopped running. But now, running is not enough, and she needs protection. A twist of fate places her in the hands of the assassin Arothena, who offers her safety. It seems perfect - apart from one, overwhelming difference between them. Arothena would never run. 
The Great, Man-Rellae war has been on the horizon for centuries. Now, anything could set it off. Arothena wants to take down the man behind Eloise's pursuers, to rid the world of any triggers that could cause the descent into fighting. But Eloise will not go with her. 
As her journey progresses and her survival becomes less and less certain, Eloise must decide if she will fight - and what for.

--- About the Book In Crimson Dawn: Love Beyond Worlds - Book 2, the journey of Evaa, the Crimson Princess of Cedophelia, continues as she enters the next five years of her life in a world still reeling from the shadows of war and prophecy. Now a young warrior, Evaa hones her skills in magic and combat, preparing to confront the dark destiny that awaits her. But as her powers grow, so does the emptiness within-watching others find love while she remains haunted by loneliness. This second installment is a tale of personal growth, heartbreak, and relentless courage. Evaa faces new trials, including a mysterious enemy whose presence hints at a deeper, more dangerous force than the demon lord Crunoses.

Side stories blossom with romance and intrigue as Queen Ninam and Xorvath, Rylan and Vadona, Pearl and Arthur, Percy and Florence find their own paths to love. Meanwhile, startling discoveries arise: a hidden flaw in the ancient Crimson Prophecy, unveiled by the brilliant scholar Cameroon, and the mysterious bond between the Fae brothers and the Crimson sisters. Book 2 is a sweeping continuation of Evaa's epic-rich in sacrifice, connection, and the ever-deepening question of destiny versus choice. The Crimson world awaits her rise. ---

Beneath the Ash by LucyAbyigail

Rheanyra Silvarra has always known what it means to survive. Born to a disgraced noble house and branded a rebellion relic before she could walk, she's spent her life training in the shadows, carrying the ghosts of Aretia and the weight of a past no one dares speak of. At Basgiath War College, she's not just another first-year crossing the Parapet-she's a threat. And everyone knows it. Especially Xaden Riorson. They've known each other too long, fought side by side in silence, and now face each other across squad lines with carefully constructed masks. Their hatred is a language only they speak-a shield against the danger of letting anyone too close. Because walls are safer than attachments. Safer than hope. Thrown into Fourth Wing under Xaden's command, Nyra finds herself surrounded by enemies, allies she doesn't trust, and a squad that's as fractured as her heart. With every glance, Xaden dares her to fall back. With every order, he reminds her who holds power. But she didn't survive the slaughter of Aretia to be silenced. As dragons descend and the deadly crucible of Basgiath begins, Nyra must face not only the dangers of Threshing and the brutal hierarchy of the Riders Quadrant, but the truth she's buried for years. Because war is coming. Secrets are stirring. And for rebellion kids like Nyra and Xaden? Survival was only the beginning. XadenXoc

The Wizard's Misery The Chronicles of the Midlands Book One by CathiAllen

Celine Rushing has always been a tomboy who loves sword play and now she's been tasked with delivering a very important item for the Resistance. Being chased by soldiers and with traitors in her midst, all her well laid plans have gone amiss. Should she give the item to those claiming to be on her side? Or should she do something unexpected? Follow along with Celine as she adventures through the Midlands and see what happens when one impulsive decision changes the life of a simple farm girl making her the focus of bounty hunters and assassins. Sneak peak: "Ssh... They're going to hear you! Be quiet and act like you're sleeping!" he whispered loudly. Celine shut her mouth and moved as far away from him as she possibly could without falling out of the bed. "At the first opportunity he could slit my guts open to get that gem," she thought nervously. She was still holding the dagger so she moved the hand that was holding it to where he could see it. "I'm still armed so don't try anything foolish," she warned him. He looked shocked and a little taken aback. "Like I'm really going to do anything improper with all these soldiers crawling around," he said in irritation. They both fell silent. Then he hastily got up from the bed. "Anyway, you're not my type," he replied angrily. He walked over to the chair and grabbed his cloak and spread it out on the floor in front of the fire to make a pallet. Then he laid down and turned his back on her. Celine ignored him and listened to see if she could hear what was going on below. She could hear the soldiers speaking downstairs in the tavern but couldn't make out what they were saying. It sounded like they were already setting up their headquarters. "Just my luck," she thought. "I don't know how I'm going to get out of this one! The enemy is all around me!" Then she glanced over at Brandon who was still lying by the fire. "Even in this very room!"

Book One: The Iron Divide by amzlseeksart

,,THE IRON DIVIDE" For generations, war has raged across Tharador, its origins forgotten by all. Maerith hides her identity as a knight, and Calyx is the man both feared and desired. Amid masks, intrigues, and deadly proximity, she must choose: trust... or survival. ... For decades, the great Houses of Veyren and Althaire have drowned the land in endless bloodshed, their feud dividing Tharador across mist-shrouded rivers. Maerith carries the legacy of her fallen father, once loyal to House Veyren, and knows survival is a battle of steel and shadow - but nothing could prepare her for Calyx Althaire: brilliant, ruthless, and feared by all, the one man who could decide her fate with a single motion. To him, she is the key - the one who could bring his enemy to ruin. Captured, betrayed, and forced into proximity with the enemy she was trained to hate, Maerith must navigate a world where every glance hides a blade, every word carries a threat, and trust is a luxury she cannot afford. As storms rage across Tharador, alliances twist and betrayals abound, pushing Maerith and Calyx toward a destiny that neither fully controls. Their journey will demand loyalty, cunning, and the kind of courage that can change the course of kingdoms. In a land ruled by blood, lies, and shifting loyalties, only one thing is certain: Maerith will not go quietly - and neither will he. Enemies to lovers. Masks and deception. Survival, desire, and power collide in a dark fantasy world where hearts are as dangerous as swords.
