Lorne Earrach's father taught her how to fight with a sword, though he hoped she'd never have need of one. He brought her out to the Fringe the day she was born in hopes of delivering her from the ceaseless strife of the kingdoms' endless wars. However, battlefields have a tendency to bleed beyond their borders. 

When Lorne's life is entirely uprooted by the aftershocks of one such war, she and her friends must venture into the corpse of a fallen kingdom if they're to have any hope of reclaiming what little home is still within their reach. Though, the fires of vengeance burning in Lorne's heart seem to devour her more and more with each swing of her father's hulking blade.

Woven in Silk and Steel by beanywritesit

When Lilia Avaren ascends the throne of the Northern Kingdom after her tyrannical father's death, she inherits not just a fractured realm but the heavy shadow of a family legacy marred by cruelty and madness. Her court views her with suspicion, dismissing her as unfit to rule and fearing she will follow in her mother's tragic footsteps. To secure her power, Lilia must outmaneuver enemies within and beyond her borders, even as the memory of her father's abuse threatens to unravel her from within. By her side is her estranged brother Titan, who abdicated his claim to the throne to escape its suffocating expectations. Though once her closest ally, Titan's growing disillusionment with Lilia's increasingly ruthless decisions creates a rift between them, forcing her to confront whether she is becoming the very man they both despised. To silence the nobles demanding an heir and strengthen her rule, Lilia forms an unconventional harem, composed of powerful men who serve as both symbols of alliance and tools of strategy. At her back are her knightmaidens, trusted women disguised as ladies-in-waiting who act as spies and tacticians, ensuring her survival in a court rife with treachery. As war looms on the horizon and betrayal takes root at home, Lilia must wrestle with the scars of her past, her cou in rt's constant scrutiny, and her own darkest impulses.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1 by marcellaiswriting

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.
