The Empress has died-betrayed and slain by the people closest to her. But one day, by some cruel twist of fate, Athelina wakes up and finds herself alive...in another girl's body. Now, she returns to the glimmering grand halls as Clarisse Lorraine, to where she encounters old faces and new threats. But none shakes her resolve like the playful yet unreadable Duke who was once her most trusted knight, but perhaps, at times, someone much more.All Rights Reserved

Red Moon by SnowingBloom

Skye had spent her entire life avoiding men. Diagnosed with a rare psychosomatic condition triggered by male presence, she had carefully built a world where they didn't exist, attending an all-girls school, surrounding herself only with women, and rejecting the idea that men could ever be anything but untrustworthy. Her father's betrayal had proven that to her long ago. But one night changes everything. Forced to attend a bachelorette party, Skye steps into a bar filled with men for the first time in years. The moment they surround her, her body succumbs to the overwhelming sickness, and she collapses. When she opens her eyes again, she is no longer Skye. She has been reborn as Princess Flanna Caera Lunae Radbourne, the feared Flame Princess of the Southern Empire, a world where women rule, and men serve. In this matriarchal empire, the roles of power are reversed: Empresses command vast armies, princesses wield swords, and men exist solely to obey their liege ladies. Flanna is no exception. Known as the Crimson Warrior, she is ruthless, cunning, and infamous for both her victories on the battlefield and the size of her harem. But Skye is still Skye. The idea of men obeying her, of being hers to command, is more terrifying than enticing. As she struggles to reconcile her past trauma with her new reality, she is thrown into a battle for the throne. The empire demands a ruler, and all princesses are contenders, Flanna included. If she does not fight for the crown, she will become a pawn in someone else's game. With enemies lurking in the shadows, suitors vying for her favor, and her own mind waging war against her, Skye must decide: Will she embrace the power of Flanna and take the throne, or will her past fears consume her before she gets the chance?

The Lost Life of Laraine by BearGoRawr

She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.
