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.

Reclaiming England. (Nano Novel 2016) by Spanner339

In the year 2030, things have gone downhill. After another world war, most of the major cities in the world are empty and abandoned, due to bombings from the war. America - or more correctly the president of America - rules most of the world with an iron fist, imposing curfews and rules, causing the people to live in fear. But there are rebel groups, groups who call themselves the underground. Maria Wright finds herself thrown in with one of these groups, located near the ruins of London. Gaining a strong group of friends for herself, they all fight against the oppression they face. But their group is small, and their enemies powerful. But one day they find a strange man. A man who gives them hope. A man who might just be able to free them. A man called Arthur Pendragon. Is it possible that this is the same man who is the centre for many ancient legends? And if he is, can he help them?

A Heart Untamed by kaycat_writes

Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.
