[AN AMBYS 2024 FANTASY FAVORITE!] Badriya As-Sahra is sick of piling up camel dung and picking people's pockets for a living. Her world discriminates against women and orphans, and it is only her damned luck that she happens to be both. She yearns for more but can't do anything else unless she wants to rot in the streets. 
 
Ayaz Shahrayar balances two lives: one of defiance, where he aids his people suffering from the Sultan's rule, and one of obedience, where he plays the role of a naive prince and heir in public. But his thirst for vengeance drives him more reckless by the day, and he knows that he might do something that could threaten his inheritance and his life. 

When the Sultan of Zecaj, desperate for more wealth to start a war, declares a country-wide hunt for a powerful artifact lost in legends called the Jewel of Opulence, Badriya jumps at the chance for the promise of reward. When the Sultan threatens Ayaz of losing the very thing he is meant to have, he has no choice but to join the hunt.  
 
As Badriya and Ayaz cross paths on their quest, they must learn to work together to find the Jewel and uncover the truth of its power. Only that it proves to be more difficult when the threat of betrayal and the spark of attraction try to distract them from their opposing goals.

Under A Dying Sun by AMaryam0215

// T.W. mention of de*th, k*dn*pping// "If you die in there, it's over for you. Literally." Her cold eyes were fixed on the mirror, looking deep into something. The Head Chief hissed and gave the Librarian a warning glance. "You all were skipping and skidding around the truth. She needed to hear it." "Now is not the time for this." Onia parried. "Then when? When she's in the story? At the end of someone's sword?" ×_____________×___________× StoryTellers Inc. is a secret society that oversees and protects stories. They face a problem they've never seen before, in their millennia of existence: the kidnapping of their princesses. A deceased portal forces them to make a last minute decision. A decision that traverses far beyond safety and normalcy. For 16-year-old Amira, the plan was simple. Go into the story & replace the Shehzadi.

Can the Shehzadi's replacement dodge swords and betrayal, while finding love and stumbling upon secrets? Can she, literally, save the story?

My Days in Indraprasth - Subhadra by sssm2569

Two elements. Land and water. The sunshine of love binds them together. A prodigious family, love and happiness blooming all times.

"It is often said that life is nothing more than a sacrifice. An offer than a reward. A loss than a gain. A realization than a possession. Following the same ideals, I am prepared for this journey." A tale of true love. "The depth of the sky's blue is as our love, that only over the years to we notice the strength of the hue. Up close it is as clear as pure water, yet when we see the miles it is the blue of fairytale dreams." A tale of trust. "No matter how many days it takes, he would keep up his word. He would definitely come for me if not today then tomorrow. After all, trust is the basis of our relationship." A tale of conspiracies. "Will we not find one idea to shatter the bond? According to her, life is a mirage, filled with illusions and no reality. Will this not make things easy for us?" A tale of betrayals. "What hides behind the lies are truths that failed to get to the light. What lies behind your betrayal may have been honest at first sight. What concealed my pain is what keeps reminding me of you every night. I am confused but I believe everything will come out when the time is right." A tale of a righteous family in the golden pages of the epic of Mahabharata! A tale of the Pandavas and their wives! A fictional perspective of a famous story!

Blood (Epic of the Mediterranean) [Book 1] by corsgvhn

They say that keep your friends close, enemies closer. But just how close? Close enough so as to have them carve out your heart, or close enough for them to secure an inevitable place inside it? How much can you trust them, that is, if you can trust them at all. --- An-Ki Naya, the third daughter of the Assyrian dynasty of Kinkha which held a short lived rule on the Persian Empire, gets abducted and brought in as a slave after a complete end to her family line. No one and nothing is left of the once mighty history of Mesopotamia, the sole rubble being her hope which is shattered by the regret of being alive. Persia expresses immense contentment with the end of the mortal enemy and takes the peace as an indicator for a rule of serenity. Only, it isn't quite so. The most treacherous member of the Kinkha blood is still alive, a threat which wasn't taken under consideration since the time she was born. An impending conspiracy dawns with her which includes many participants hidden within the empire under the forged veils of loyalty. The Lord of the Persian state of Bactria is Asmaka Araxa Kayasth, one of the five most prevalent powers which were involved in the victory of Cunaxa. Sharing a history of enmity with the Kinkha family name, he annexes Sogdiana while crushing them into nonexistence. He takes in a slave, without an idea about what all would come with her. 4th century B.C. Persia is the supreme empire of its time with Arthaxerxes II as its shahanshah. A period which was drawn by the blood and valor of the most prodigious rulers and the knowledge of self-actualization throughout the world. Behind the blinding shimmer of the exquisite luxuries exist conflicts of family and values, betrayals, treacheries, imperial enigmas, tension amongst thrones, hunt for spiritual wisdom and uncertainties. *** [COMPLETED]

Desert Wind by Czekoladowa27

Dear Reader, I challenge you to a duel! Yes, exactly! Prepare for a battle. The battle for your heart and soul. I'm about to whisk you away and immerse you in a world brimming with magic and secrets. But fear not, on this adventure through the wilderness, you'll be accompanied by Klelia and... that's a surprise :)) Your task is simple. You have to survive... Are you ready to take up the challenge? "I'm dead. I died back in that hut. I don't exist anymore. And now, after everything that's happened, you want to talk?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise. "Who am I to you?" He closed the distance in an instant. I had nowhere to escape; there was a wall behind me, and he stood before me. "Are you really asking who you are to me, Klelia? You are my sun and moon. The source of my suffering and pleasure. My oxygen. I breathe you every day. Every second of life without you is worthless. Without you, there is no me. That's what you are to me. My private universe. I want to immerse myself in you. To lose myself." "I'm dangerous. At any moment, I could..." Tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm not like you." "You're no more dangerous than me," he interrupted, kissing me hungrily, as if he were desperate for air. P.S. Grab your best sword and cape. Despite appearances, desert nights can be cold.
