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

Mortance: A Miscarriage of Hope by cheeseisjar

Twelve-hundred years ago, the first king of Sacreon led a rebellion against an empire of witches. The war for who would rule next continues to this day. A false guise of peace came over Ert after two genocides, but there is no one so foolish as to claim the fighting is done. A prophecy claims that war will return to Ert when the moons are full once again on Ascenday. That day is growing closer now, and there is not a fool in the warring nations who does not dread its coming. In the midst of this all, the heirs to Sacreon struggle to find their place in this world of kings and knights and gods and elves and witches. A princess falls for someone she cannot hope to have, prince travels south to broker an alliance, a warrior seeks vengeance for the death of her sister. and the heir to a long forgotten kingdom quests for glory. Behind all of this, one man journeys north to an island of long forgotten magic with plans of justice, and The Wolf Witch goes west, searching for the one who can stop this war and unite Ert once again: The Silver Girl. Note: The Wolf Witch is meant to be a prequel to this book, and Sora will make an appearance, but she will not be a main character. By the way I take huge inspiration and influence from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones so if you like that you'll probably like this (and my other writings I hope). Cover created by the most excellent @apprehensiveanne. It's very cool.

Her father, King Garrik of Ellavorn, has promised her to the prince of a much darker country than that of her own. She is to be sold, blood-bound to a man she has only ever had hatred for, but she will not stand down, will not subject herself to her fathers careless wishes, and so; she runs... She runs as far as the Everforest will allow her to traipse, only to discover a land she had no idea existed along with a people that entrap her in their dungeon. What awaits Gilryn on her journey? Will her scorned Prince come to her aid, only to imprison her in a cell of his own, or will she find herself connected to a people... to a man who wears the moon upon his neck.
