Chattan Bride by Maria_York_Author

READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR AWARD WINNER - As the daughter of a strong English baron, Isabel is compelled by peace negotiations to become the child-bride of the enemy, the powerful, handsome and fierce Scottish Laird of the Chattan clan, Alysandir. Her youth and his distaste for a marriage alliance with his enemy render her strenuous efforts to win the approval of her husband almost futile. Even though she failed him in a hopelessly complex situation, why would he allow his former fiancé to get away at an attempt to kill her? When her dying father calls her home to England, she is forced to be braver than her years as her exiled, murderous half-brother, Gilbert, attempts to wrest control of Bamborough Castle, their family home, from her father, who was determined to never allow Gilbert the inheritance. Could Alysandir, her wizened warrior husband soften her battle-hardened heart, protect her from her treacherous half-brother and win back her love? Growing up amid the border wars taught Isabel to be strong, cautious and adaptable. Fighting in those wars made Alysandir inflexible, distrustful but patient and brave. Could he secure his lands and keep his new bride safe from those who wished to harm her, or even protect her from herself? After breaking her, could he gather her back to himself and teach her to trust him before her half-brother and brother-in-law kill her over a piece of borderland?

Echoes of the lost Song by ArcaneScribe_1165

In the northernmost kingdom of Elarion, where emerald forests stretch endlessly and magic pulses through the land, an ancient fae queen and her powerful siblings rule a realm bound by nature's forces. But outside their mystical borders, the human king Aldred of Menoria, driven by ambition and the hunger for magic, is watching. His heart is cold, his soldiers relentless, and his son, Prince Dorian, leads a campaign to claim the one thing that eludes their kingdom-control over Elarion's untamed power. When King Aldred's armies breach the sacred fae lands, an unthinkable war ignites-a conflict the fae call the War of Echoes. As human iron clashes with elemental magic, Queen Miradel of Elarion must rally her siblings, each wielding powers tied to the earth, wind, and beasts, to defend their ancient home. But the humans bring fire and steel, and at their head, Prince Dorian, a warrior as calculating as he is fierce. With the fate of their realms hanging by a thread, alliances will be tested, loyalties shattered, and both sides will learn that the echoes of war reach far beyond the battlefield. Magic, honor, and the survival of entire kingdoms collide in an epic battle for dominance-and in this war, even the victors will be haunted by the cost.

God-Child-Soldier by aesthenisia

Jacaerys Velaryon knows his life will end one of two ways: on a throne or nameless in a traitor's grave. He knows his mother's will end the same way. A prince's duty is to protect his queen. Alder Tierney is an estranged daughter of the North, a smallfolk with a secret larger than a dragon. She has the blood of the forest in her, the touch of the Old Gods. And she longs for more than her life. All stories begin somewhere. This is the story of a prince who falls from his dragon, finds his mother a sworn shield, and somehow (possibly) stops a war.
