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.

Weightless on the Wind || Fourth Wing || (♡ Garrick Tavis) by Hebe_1353

She crossed the Parapet with her eyes closed. No one knew her name. Not really. Not the riders, not the commandant. Not even the boy she once knew, who now leads the very quadrant she's been thrown into. Aeliana Sorynne is a survivor. Marked by magic, scarred by secrets, raised in the shadows of rebellion. Now, she enters Basgiath War College under a name no one remembers - carrying nothing but a rune, a memory, and the skills of someone who should've died years ago. Assigned to Fourth Wing, Tail Section, Second Squad, Aeliana must navigate brutal training, suspicious cadets, and the heavy eyes of dragons that seem to see more than they should. She's not here to be chosen. She's here to endure. But surviving is never that simple - not when her past walks the same halls, not when dragons are watching, and not when trust could mean everything... or cost her everything.

Among the Ashes (Book 2) by LuckyNumberZero

Fern should've stayed dead. But death spat her out with fire in her lungs and Thane's name on her tongue. Now, resurrected and burning with something new and terrifying in her blood, she's on a desperate hunt-not just to find Thane and the others she was forced to leave behind, but to understand what she's become and how the hell she's alive. Her search drags her into the heart of Evatan-the kingdom of men-and straight into the path of the High Lord Rouland. He's dangerous, calculating, and hauntingly familiar. He keeps Fern on a gilded leash, parading her as the savior of his people, all while dangling Thane's whereabouts like a knife to her throat. With Thane's face and none of his heart, he offers a trade: help him win the war, and he'll give her information on Thane. But trust comes at a cost-and Rouland wants far more than an alliance. He wants everything. But Fern didn't crawl her way back from the grave to become a bargaining chip. Surrounded by strangers, tangled in politics, and stalked by the shadow of war, Fern has to play the game right. She meets new allies, reunites with old ones, and keeps the ember of rebellion burning in her chest. The war is far from over. Sayda is still in hiding. And Fern's return might just break the world for good. Will she take the High Lord's deal? Or will she burn the whole damn kingdom down? Among the Ashes is a story of rebirth, ruin, and ruthless choices. Power always comes with a price. And Fern is done paying it in silence.

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!"
