Cursed before her birth, tone-deaf in a kingdom of musicians, yearning for battle when it is treason for a woman to hold a sword, Cassie is constantly at war. Desperate to escape, she flees the only home she has ever known and immediately falls into the hands of the most feared bandit in three kingdoms. Cassie must rapidly learn to survive the treacherous forest, a bitter bandit's vendetta, and the heartbreak of loss. When she has to make the impossible choice between freedom and duty, will she simply run again, or will the unlikely friendships she finds help her to take charge of her life and the destiny she fought so hard to avoid?

To Hurt or To Love by MadImagination
41 parts Complete
When a crew of hunters sail across the sea in search of food for the winter, tragedy strikes-leaving one man stranded in an unfamiliar land. Armed with only his bow, he ventures into the deep forest... and takes aim at what he believes is a deer. But the arrow doesn't strike an ordinary creature. It strikes her. Half-girl, half-deer, she is unlike anything he's ever seen-wild, graceful, and breathtaking. Cast out from her own tribe, she survives alone, speaking a language he cannot understand. Yet the longer he hides her secret, the deeper he is drawn into her world. What began as a hunter's instinct becomes something far more dangerous: a choice between betrayal and devotion, between survival and love. In a land where trust is fragile and beauty can be deadly, he must decide... to hurt, or to love.

65 parts Complete Mature
He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.

-"She'll ruin you! She'll bring you to your knees." His answer was a prayer, murmured above me. "Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat. Forced into deadly trials before a crowd of merciless Fae, Cassia fights to keep her life, unaware that the game was never meant for her to win. When a dashing Fae Lord steps in to save the hapless human girl, she sees no way to live long enough to find her way home, except his unwanted offer of marriage. This Lord had his own reasons for this chivalry, however. She was not to be a bride, but a key. Hunted, terrified, and betrayed, Cassia finds an unlikely ally in the court of her betrothed. One with secrets that echo her own... one who leads her to a reclusive and broken Fae Lord who sees the darkness she hides. As war brews and ancient magic stirs, love becomes a weapon. Cassia must decide who to trust before she loses more than her home and freedom. In the Fae realm, looks can be deceiving.

When a brutal attack leaves Morana alone and on the run, she has no choice but to search for answers, both about herself and about the Dark Lord pursuing her.

Morana will either rise from the ashes or find herself in a grave beneath them. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements.

These were often dark times, as men had little means to defend themselves from the powerful creatures capable of destroying villages in mere seconds.

Plain and simple... Until it isn't. Ella Blackwell has duties. Insurmountable, crushing duties. As the Duke's daughter, she's been born and raised to accomplish what all women in Rhothomir's high society are meant to do-marry well, secure an alliance, and bear the perfect heirs to continue traditions. Except, Ella's not really the perfect blue-blooded aristocrat she's expected to be. In the midst of rising political tensions between the Kingdom of Rhothomir and Fae Realm, and a blooming war, Ella finds her life completely upended from one moment to the next, ripped away from everything she's ever known.
