Echoes of Her Past by WonzzzChae
14 parts Complete Mature
In the powerful kingdom of Elyndor, Princess Lara Elias carries the heavy burden of being the sole heir to the throne. With her parents unable to conceive another child, Lara's future is entangled with the expectations of a nation and the greed of her manipulative uncle, Lord Alaric, who covets the crown for himself. To secure her position and protect her kingdom from her uncle's ambitions, Lara's parents arrange a marriage for her with Prince Kal of Valoria, a charming yet enigmatic prince from a distant land. Lara, a fierce and independent young woman with floor-length light brown hair and a sharp wit, dreams of a life of freedom. But her world shatters when she learns of the arranged marriage, a union that will seal her fate as queen, but at the cost of her autonomy. Torn between duty and desire, Lara finds herself trapped in a role she never wanted, struggling to reconcile her inner turmoil with the expectations placed upon her. As the wedding day approaches, Lara's resolve crumbles, leading to a breakdown where she violently rejects the constraints of her royal life. Yet, despite her fears, the marriage proceeds, and Lara finds herself bound to Prince Kal, a man who might be more of an ally than an adversary. "Echoes of Her Past" is a tale of love, duty, and the struggle for identity in a world where power and tradition dictate every move. As Lara navigates the treacherous waters of royalty, she must decide whether to succumb to her destiny or fight for the life she truly desires. In a story filled with political intrigue, forbidden desires, and the weight of legacy, Lara's journey is one of self-discovery and the pursuit of freedom against all odds. (She's a bit mentally ill)

Hope is as rare as water in a kingdom of sun-scorched sands and ancient walls. Princess Ilaria of Sigyn is poised to secure peace for her desert kingdom through an arranged marriage to Prince Godred, the ruler of a rival land. But when a shadowy assassin nearly takes her life, her plans-and her trust in those around her-crumble like desert dust. Forced into hiding on the distant island of Zospery, she finds herself under the protection of Lord Alaric Voss, a man as cold and unyielding as the sea cliffs that guard his home. Alaric is known as the Devil of the Spire, a relentless warrior with a reputation for cruelty and a heart as closed off as the fortress he commands. Yet, beneath his rigid exterior lies a past scarred by loyalty and loss, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep the princess alive-even if it means standing against the forces that seek to silence her forever. As enemies close in and the line between duty and desire blurs, Ilaria must confront a harsh truth: her greatest danger may not be the assassins lurking in the shadows, but the man who stands beside her, guarding secrets that could shatter everything she's fought to protect. But the more she learns about the unyielding knight, the more she sees glimpses of a depth that calls to her, even as her own resolve hardens into something far less forgiving. In the shifting sands of war and whispered betrayals, two souls clash-one desperate to keep hope alive, the other burdened by a past he cannot escape. And as threats loom from all sides, Ilaria and Alaric will have to decide whether they can truly trust one another... or if the secrets they keep will be the very things that tear them apart. -- COVER BY @-deeisdead- ONC 2024 SHORTLISTER

13 parts Complete Mature

Frederick Altzair has led an ordinary life growing up in Krios, the semi-magical land where people have a general, passionate hate for visual diversity. But just days after being falsely prosecuted as an Alarian, the enemies of Krios in a thousand years' civil war, his life has changed drastically. Now en route with other prisoners to the Kolloseum, the Port's gladitorial arena where Alarians are forced to fight to the death, Fred must overcome the challenges of his new life while also maintaining the only reason he wasn't sentenced to execution--his foolproof integrity. The question is, can he survive? Or will the people of his homeland be the very death of him?
