**Book 1 in the Luminae Series**

One was raised with anything she could desire at her fingertips- Except the freedom to leave castle grounds. 

The other had the freedom to go anywhere he chose- Except he must hide as a hunted fugitive of the crown.

When an attempt on her life by a rebel group fails, Maizie is thrust into training with the new mysterious guard captain by Queen Vita. As love blossoms in court, danger grows around the princess. The rebels aren't ready to give up yet, and Maizie finds herself torn between allowing the tyrant Queen's reign to continue, or turn to the would-be usurper out for her head.

*~*~*

They're coming for me!

She flung out of bed at the thundering of soldiers coming down the halls. They had come in the middle of the night- she thought they would at least allow her to see the sunrise. 

No, she trembled, I'm not ready for this! I'm not ready to-

"Princess!" She heard guards burst into her foyer, the only room between the entrance and her bed-chamber. 

Maizie looked down at her petite body, garbed in a thin silk nightgown. Weak and without any ability to protect herself. She scoured the room, her eyes landing on the poker hanging beside the fireplace. If she made a running lunge, she might have enough time to grab it. But then she had no idea what to do with a weapon. 

At least she would have one.

All I Need ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.
