allerleirauh balls catskin damien dance fairytale fairytaleretelling grimm grimmbrothers king kingdom love lovestory princess retelling romance royalty

A retelling of the Grimm fairytale Cat-Skin. As most Grimm fairytales, this story gets a little weird. There's some... incesty things, but it's all chill and definitely not their darkest story, but it's a favorite of mine.

Princess Abbigail Barawyn is healing from the death of her mother when she is forced to flee from her home and family. She must hide her identity and find a place for herself in a neighboring kingdom, but when she peaks the interest of her new king, staying hidden won't be easy.

King Damien Reinhold was passed the crown at a very young age after the passing of his father. The pressure from his court and kingdom to marry and provide a queen and heirs is growing unbearable. To find suitable young royalty, a two day ball is thrown, but he simply can not keep his eyes from wondering to a strange young girl that works in the palace kitchens.All Rights Reserved

Her Cinder Throne (Completed) by ViridianHues

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.

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.
