For as long as anyone in Elfame can remember, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts have been locked in a savage war, losing countless men, women and children in one bloody battle after another. Finally, hope seems to come in the form of a treaty that will meld the two Courts into one and bind the Crown Heirs -- Princess Eilidh of the Solar Court and Prince Oleander of the Lunar Court -- in matrimony, but just as Elfame prepares to rejoice, a dark enchantment is placed upon the future High King.

Not it falls to his brother, Astrophel, to assume the throne, but the new Lunar Heir is far from a willing  replacement. Determined to escape a destiny that was never meant to be his, he teams up with the brother he loves, the betrothed he loathes, the exile he saved and the mayfly he is determined to resent in order to break the messenger's curse.All Rights Reserved

Crossing Boundaries by NiaFalken

Seelie and Unseelie: two opposing fae courts with such a dark history that they've cut all ties between them. Affiliation with the other side in any way is high treason for both - the only difference is that those found guilty face banishment from the Seelie and death from the Unseelie. Luin left Seelie lands years ago, choosing exile rather than giving up on his Unseelie soul mate. Only, his soul mate never came and hope is harder to cling to with each passing year. A new path opens up to him, but it would mean giving up on his soul mate forever. Arrowan has been plotting an escape from his realm since the day he learned his soul mate is Seelie, but with tensions growing higher between the two courts, security is stronger than ever and even a rumor of trying to leave can get you killed. Before his carefully-constructed plan can come to fruition, he feels something terribly wrong with his soul bond and fears he might have run out of time.

Briarborne by EllisBeddoe

In the far western regions of Tayrul, beyond the coasts of Kemmaweth and Ostaviel, is the fractured Empire of Nyllensari, the realm of the fae and their many courts. One kingdom in particular that has resisted the rule of the Mynetheas Dynasty for millennia is that of Illyethluna, the realm of Dark Elves. Kept fully under Unseelie rule and ruled over by the royal Jhalvar family, it has become a place of strife and intrigue. Poisoned wine and daggers like thorns. An orderly anarchy, full of backstabbing courtiers and ruthless warlords. It's a place where the weak and enfeebled have no right to be, should they value their lives. Born to the greatest power in this realm, Vellienne's very existence damages her family's ruthless and cruel image. Tarnished their reputation. Born early and frail, white as a sheet and agonized by sunlight, Vellienne is kept by her mother Zeldiira, away from a world she wishes to hold in the palm of her hand, no matter how delicate. Plagued by her envy in her brothers' successes and her parents' dismay, as well as loathing for how her own body prevents her from achieving such heights, Vellienne begins to plot and conspire to become greater than was thought possible for her. Greater than her own kin. She would become someone else entirely, if that is what it took.

Bad enough that damn Atlantean prince saved Shannon when Loki couldn't, but now Elatha is saving Loki's son by stealing his mate. Neither outcome will leave Shannon and Loki's relationship unchanged. While some of Shannon's Unseelie relatives have no issue with killing her son, others aren't so blase about the curse. Yet it's the prophecy at Shannon's birth that's brought Elatha and Shannon together in this arranged marriage. When betrayal strikes, it may be the key to saving not just her son, but Loki's soul as well. The prophecy hints at a chance to right a mistake that has haunted him, but it will require more soul-searching than Loki is comfortable with. Wait until he finds out he'll have to get along with his rival Elatha to achieve their goals.

The Rose and the Sinbound by KrystaFae

Rhosyn's Journal Entry: I find myself turning to ink and parchment as if words can fortify the brittle pieces of my heart. There is something in the rhythm of verse, in the gentle pulse of poetry, that soothes the ache no court's promises can touch. "In shadows deep where secrets lie, A rose blooms still, beneath cold sky. Her thorns are sharp, her petals frail, Against the storm, her courage pale." Do I write of myself, or of some other creature trapped in a story not her own? Sometimes it feels as though I am the shadow and the rose both, caught between a world that demands obedience and a heart that refuses to yield. How bitter it is to dream of freedom while knowing my wings are clipped, bound by alliances that do not care for the scars they leave behind. "A crown of thorns, a silken mask, A future bound in hollowed glass. Yet hope persists, a trembling flame, Defiant still, against the pain." Hope. A foolish word. A fragile thing that clings to the edges of my soul, like a candle flickering in the winds. I write these lines as though hope is a friend, but truly, it's a ghost-a haunting I cannot rid myself of. In the quiet hours of dawn, it murmurs, stirs, and breathes life back into me. It is a torment and a salvation, this hope. "One step, one breath, one whispered plea, Against the night, she will not flee. In silence kept, her song unfolds, A tale unwritten yet, untold." Perhaps there is a power in words, in laying bare the fragile threads that hold me together. To write is to bleed without consequence, to free myself, if only for a moment, from the binds of the court. And so, I keep writing.
