The Queen Of Eternity by oindriya

UNDER HEAVY EDITING Love. That's a strong word. It breaks you into a million pieces yet somehow manages to put you back together. Power. Self explanatory, isn't it? Who doesn't want power? 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

Beautiful Beast by lucyanneholland

My name is Kalista. They call me the beast. Kalista has been cursed by a powerful sorceress and is now a prisoner in her own palace. As petals fall from an enchanted rose, her fate and the sorceress's victory draw nearer. But Kalista refuses to be defeated so easily and uses her own magic to push against the bindings. Yet what if it is not enough and the only way the curse might be shattered is through the help of another? When Arawn crosses into the beast's domain, he has one motive: revenge for his brother's death. But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice. Together, they struggle against spells, wolves, and time itself to break the curse. If they fail, Kalista will fall asleep and will never again wake.

What would it take to say it's you by LylaMay

Helena has always been the unwanted daughter. It took her parents ten years to give birth to a male heir. Even though she's always been neglected, considered as an alliance token and made to marry whomever her father pleases, she's always believed that in a world where men got to go to school and be whatever they wanted, she could change her future and take it into her hands. After all the attention is focused on the upbringing of her brother, she takes it as an opportunity to slip out of the house and mingle into the world of men. Arthur is the heir to a long standing dukedom, his father expects a lot from him so he's given him all the freedom he asks for in exchange of doing what's asked of him. On a night out with his friends he meets William a man that he immediately recognizes as a woman in disguise. He indulges her in her lies giving her all the time in the world to come clean to him and share her secret. But what happens when she doesn't seem to want to share her secret?

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.

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. Apparently, the above argument shows that her father signed an arranged marriage with a man she has never met and un-fortunately, there's no turning back........... Read More.......
