The Four by Locatlie

There used to be a time where the world feared Locatlie. This time was merely decades ago. They thought that the Locatlie family was untouchable, they couldn't come near anyone anymore after the War of hearts. But the people that lived through the War of Hearts got soft, they either died or forgot it happened in the first place. Their children got children and those children forgot whom they were dealing with. Nobody thought that anybody could compete with Queen Julia. The queen whom brought down nations. Until I came along. You think Julia had it rough? Pfft. Her life was a fucking cake walk compared to mine- but lets not get ahead of the story. Julia might be the queen that brought down the nations, but I was the one that made them beg for mercy while burned them all to the ground. Important information: You can read this story without reading the Locatlie series, but it will spoil the Locatlie series for you. If you like books that close off chapters and you like reading long stories, read the Locatlie series first. :) Warning: This story contains physical abuse, mental abuse and sexual abuse.

The Queen Of Eternity by oindriya

But power makes you do things that seem psychopathic until you do it. *** The wars have started since Kayan took over the throne after killing his own wife. Esmeray has been his executionist more than she is his daughter. But not all that seems to be, is true. What happens when everything Esmeray has known to be right, proves to be wrong? What happens when the lies reveal themselves? What happens when love and power truly mix? {#7 in feminist} at 16.10.21 BOOK 1 IN THE 'LEGACY' TRILOGY © All rights reserved

The Widow Empress by Kylethethird

Set during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses in 15th-century England, Seraphina is a stunningly ambitious peasant woman who rises from the dirt of poverty to claim the throne. Using her beauty, wit, and ruthlessness, she seduces powerful men, manipulates royal politics, and eliminates anyone who stands in her way. From the weak and unstable King Henry VI to the powerful Edward IV, Seraphina weaves a web of deceit, betrayal, and murder, each step taking her closer to her ultimate goal: the crown. But her path is filled with enemies- Queen Margaret of Anjou, the fierce and vengeful queen, and the shrewd **Richard Neville,the Kingmaker, who will stop at nothing to control the fate of England. In a world where loyalty is fleeting and power is the ultimate prize, Seraphina becomes the ultimate player, rising through the chaos and bloodshed to become the Widow Empress of England, a woman whose reign is both feared and admired. But power comes at a cost, and as the years go by, Seraphina's enemies close in, and the kingdom she built begins to crumble from within. A story of ambition, manipulation, and the cost of power.Will Seraphina's hunger for dominance destroy her, or will she rewrite history as the first woman to rule England?

Issues Of The Heart by EmberBluee2

"Father? " she calls in a cranky tone "What is really the meaning of these documents? ". He scoffs and sips his coffee less concerned " What does it look like? " he snaps "It's an arranged marriage obviously". He continues reading his newspapers and a tear drops down her face. " Father why are you doing this to me? " she whimpers "Why do you badly want to punish me? ". She chokes back the tears that were threatening to pour out " Because you've refused to grow and change!" he rasps "You have just decided to kill me before my time. You have already done enough and i'm quite fed up". He closes his newspaper and leans closer to her. " You are going to show up on your wedding day and marry the man i have chosen for you. Don't make things harder than it already is". He sprang up and storms out, she fell to the floor sobbing in unbearable pain. *Helena, a perhaps spoilt, wealthy young woman with the face and body. Of course she's every mans' dream but she rather sees men as a toy to be used and tossed aside. Actually she prefers the opposite, she doesn't want to fall victim of a situation where a man will use her and dump her like they are termed to always do. "So, literally she has no care in the world. But now the table has rotated and she's in for a forever game.
