Fata Morgana by WolfLuvsBerries
5 parts Ongoing Mature
Ava Wilk will do anything to save her kidnapped niece, Dagger-even if it means making a dangerous deal with the ruthless Fae Commander, Morozek. In exchange for his help, she must retrieve an ancient, enchanted blade that hasn't been seen in centuries. Simple, right? Thrown into a world of vicious fae and dark magic, Ava uncovers a secret that could destroy the fragile peace between Svarga-the realm of the gods-and the human world. But it's Morozek-cold, calculating, and impossibly magnetic-who tempts her with a dangerous desire she can't afford to feel. As their alliance deepens, Ava's grip on reality starts to slip. With betrayal lurking at every turn, she must face the truth: how far is she willing to go to prevent a war, and what price is too high when blood is the only thing that can save them all? #EnemiesToLovers #SlowBurnRomance #ForbiddenAttraction #DarkRomance #DarkFantasy #StrongFemaleCharacter

The humans were free from their fae masters. Two decades later, Morana Stavenger has made a reputation in the overpopulated city of Molwreeth. She is the only female halfling in the city, perhaps the entire country. With her snow-white hair and amber eyes, her fae blood strikes fear into all who see her.

With the aid of her caregiver and employer, The Madame Wyvern, Lydia Stavenger, her life is now comfortable and full of coin. Until the night a mysterious man burns her life as she knows it to ash. Follow Morana through a world filled with monsters, magic, and secrecy as she's forced into a new identity in order to repay a debt to the arrogant and cruel, Jovah Windsinger. Amid her journey, she uncovers darker secrets than she could ever imagine-secrets that will make her question everything. Will Morana survive long enough to escape back to her homeland, or will the evil lurking in the shadows devour her?

Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him.

Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles.

He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive.

In a world where Elves and Vikings are bound in eternal conflict, two powerful kingdoms stand on the brink of war. But for Elowen, an orphan raised in the shadows of Elvendor's shining towers, the stakes are personal. Abandoned as a baby, she's learned to survive in a city that values power above all else, a city where she's nothing more than an invisible pawn in a game of magic and politics. On her eighteenth birthday, the Luminara ritual will determine her place in this world, either among the elite or cast back into the darkness. But Elowen is no ordinary elf. As the ritual unfolds, an ancient power stirs within her, a force older than the kingdom itself, pulling her into a dangerous web of secrets and lies. Caught between two worlds-one ruled by the privileged elves, the other by the fierce Vikings-Elowen finds herself torn between duty, love, and the dangerous unknown. Eirik, the Viking chieftain's son, should be her enemy. Yet his storm-gray eyes see through the label of "threat" that's been placed on her. But loving him would be treason. Denying him? A betrayal of her own heart. As tensions rise between the two kingdoms, a dark power awakens, threatening to consume them all. Elowen must navigate treacherous alliances, face an ancient enemy, and decide where her loyalties truly lie. But one thing is certain-she was born to shatter the boundaries of both worlds. In the end, no one, not the elves, not the Vikings, will be prepared for the storm she's about to unleash. ********* A new chapter is published every two days, so stay tuned for fresh twists and thrilling moments as Elowen's journey unfolds!
