It had only been a matter of time. That's what everyone said the moment Lannis Ardavan disappeared, but to 13-year-old Eve Larkstone, he had merely been her favorite professor. While the adults in the town of Tarl whispered about treason against the king, many children were astounded that the brilliant, fiery young man had angered the crown at all, and Eve was no exception. 

All he did was talk about the value of democracy...

Hauled away for "inciting the people" with the "spark" of revolution and labeled a spy, Lannis was said to be taken to the Tower, which until now, Eve had believed to be merely fiction. As she uncovers the secrets of her kingdom and searches for her beloved teacher, she also begins to uncover her own strength and power, in a world where children have no voice.

Dark Queen: The Cybelline Prophecies by dramatictealeaves

A 21st century covert ops agent, Cybelline found herself transported to a medieval world of magic and war without a clue of how she got there. Fine, she'll consider this as early, early retirement, ignore that she's now turned into a 12 year old, and try to have a quiet, peaceful life. Maybe she would buy a farm and raise some ducks. She didn't plan to have royalty fall over her doorstep and demand marriage for "taking his innocence". Granted, she tripped him first, but he deserved it. If her idyllic life had been undisturbed, she could even ignore the war between humans, the Fae, and the Folk. If they had left her alone, perhaps she would have never discovered power so potent that it could destroy the world. Perhaps she would have never become the most feared person in the realm.

Alongside a brooding warrior with a mysterious past and a clever thief who harbors secrets of her own, Kaelin embarks on a perilous journey to unite the fractured factions of Eldoria before the Heart of Aether falls into the wrong hands. As they traverse enchanted forests, navigate treacherous mountains, and delve into ancient ruins, the trio must confront not only external enemies but also their own fears and doubts. Along the way, Kaelin uncovers the true nature of her powers and her connection to the Heart, leading her to question what it means to be a hero in a world filled with magic and darkness. Will they succeed in protecting Eldoria, or will the shadows consume them all?
