Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions  of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. 

With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating  inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events threatening to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies.

Bound by Frost by Kcaster1

Ella Evermore has known nothing but pain and servitude under the cruel hand of her husband Kain, a man whose rage and cruelty are matched only by his desire to control her every move. Each day is a battle to survive, her dreams of freedom dwindling with every harsh word and violent blow. But when the opportunity to escape into the perilous Fae Lands arises, Ella seizes it, despite the dangers that lie ahead. Crossing into a world of ice and magic, Ella faces challenges beyond her darkest fears. From the biting cold that seeks to freeze her very bones to the relentless fae-cursed wolves that hunger for her flesh, every step is a test of her strength and willpower. Yet, amid the terror, she finds herself face to face with a mysterious fae male. And her curiosity may just get her killed. Deep in the Winter Court Fae Lands, Rylan Thorn has given up on removing a curse that was put on him over 1000 years ago.

His anger and lack of care have pushed many fae folks away, and only the few who are cursed with him remain. One night, he is notified that a human has passed the barrier into his land. Out of boredom, he decides to investigate. But something about this human has him more than intrigued.

Polarized by Wildsmellyflower

Just another generic story about some high schooler with powers being the chosen one and saving the world. Okay, maybe not the entire world. But our protagonist here may end up saving her country plus the spirit realm from a power-hungry goddess... or she may not. So we have a country, Cloudgate, which I accidentally named after a giant bean in Chicago. (Look it up, guys) Then we have auras, which are these magical power source thingies from the heavens, or should I say the Realm of Spirits, which give the people of Cloudgate supernatural abilities. Except the auras are actually cursed, which messes with the human's powers, and now auras have become synonymous with curses and aura-having humans face heavy persecution. Skye Everson, the afformented chosen one protagonist, is one of these aura-havers, and she has ice powers. For a long time, she had idolized mages and wanted to hone her skills so she could become a mage herself. The problem? Aura magic is no longer legal. Fortunately for Skye, she gets kidnapped by a secret society that trains mages illegally, and may now have a chance to live out her dreams as an ice mage. But becoming a practiced magic user in this day and age may not be all its cracked up to be... (Age rating: 13+)

Oblivion, A Timeless Void by Aster_Rae27

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 7] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carried, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out on a journey to find the Elementals - a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

The OtherWorlders by Kendra199667

Born into a post-war world in which humans were slaves, Rebeccah Elizabeth Hansen just wants to keep her head down and protect her little sister, Ellie, from the attentions of their alcoholic mother for as long as possible. But she knows The Giving Day is fast approaching, and she will be given to Justin James Morrelli, Master Vampyre and overlord to every species, leaving her human compound behind for reasons kept hidden from her. Soon she will be hurled into the violent, unforgiving realm of The OtherWorlders, ancient races each with their own agendas and a dangerous lack of concern for who they have to use to achieve them.

This novel is completed, currently in the editing phases with my editor, but I have serious social anxiety with summing the whole damn thing up in a paragraph--give it a shot, I promise you won't be disappointed! I'm much better in novel than I am in description ;) -K.L. Rowley
