"May God have mercy on my enemies. Because I won't."

~
England. 
18 year old Lyra disguises herself daily to pass as a boy to fulfill her duties as Sir Grummore's squire. Content where she is, Lyra doesn't have anything to wish for.

When Grummore goes to the Stone Tournament, Lyra follows. The tournament surrounds the sword in the stone, the legendary kingmaker. So when Lyra pulls the sword, chaos ensues.

She must balance learning to be the king, plotting to stop the Saxons' invasion, and her confusion over the wizard, Merlin, and his intriguing apprentice, Arthur, as she fights for the rights to rule her kingdom.

Beyond the Veil of Yonder (Book 1) by XannaLurel

If you love the epic worldbuilding of 𝘓𝘖𝘛𝘙, the brutal politics of 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴, the monster-hunting grit of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳, and the soul-deep romance of 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳, then this story is for you. --------------------------------- He's a battle-hardened knight; she's from the modern world. He survived horrors; she was shielded from them. His body and soul bear scars, but she still believes in wonders. He seeks redemption and peace, and she craves true love. Forgotten forests, cursed kingdoms, and a bond neither of them chose. Together, they must face ancient evils, unravel lost magic, and survive enemies in both shadow and light.

The Golden Compass (Fan-made story) (Movie) by xXFeathersXx

NOTE: This is horribly written because I was 15/16 years old and obsessed with the Golden Compass . . . So, in other words . . . Cringe alert! This will be based on the movie a TINY BIT . . . Maybe . . . IDK! Depends, because the full first chapter idea actually came from my dreams recently, then throughout school, I'm always daydreaming (Knowing me) about what they saw, what they do, so on and forth. Before we begin, I do not own the actual movie characters. Like Lyra, Crazy Coulter Woman, Jordan college etc. The only characters I own is what you never heard of in the book (Haven't read it) or in the movie. I will be only posting one chapter at a time! Also! I will be posting ONCE a week (Mondays) Releasing chapters will come to the end on the 9th of December 2019 Stay Tuned!

When Aleta Kami's father dies in a horrific accident, she vows to never tell the truth to the Kingdom's Empress. After years of successfully concealing her magical powers she is ousted, and the power hungry Empress with genocide on her mind entraps her as a weapon. In a Kingdom forsaken by the stars and gods, Aleta is thrown into a quest with an old friend, a new enemy, and a confidant shrouded in mystery. Along the way she learns the truth about the gods and the stars - and unveils a web tying her to the tyrant Empress.
