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.

Already, she has traveled and battled more than most grown men. What she needs is a holiday, but naturally that holiday can't go without the king's being assassinated, her father nearly dying, her own life being threatened, and oh, she can suddenly hear a voice in her head.

Together these new friends must fight to save their kingdom from the chaos and destruction of traitorous mages. But at what cost? ***I've finally gotten all the chapters loaded!

The Forgotten Crown by JordanHaviland

The humans were free from their fae masters. Two decades later, Morana Stavenger has made a reputation in the overpopulated city of Molwreeth. She is the only female halfling in the city, perhaps the entire country. With her snow-white hair and amber eyes, her fae blood strikes fear into all who see her. That fear is what makes her career as a thief and mercenary so easy. After being orphaned at only thirteen, Morana had no other choice but to turn to crime to survive. With the aid of her caregiver and employer, The Madame Wyvern, Lydia Stavenger, her life is now comfortable and full of coin. Until the night a mysterious man burns her life as she knows it to ash. Follow Morana through a world filled with monsters, magic, and secrecy as she's forced into a new identity in order to repay a debt to the arrogant and cruel, Jovah Windsinger.

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 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.
