The universe is at death's door. In the trillions upon trillions of years now written in the history of the cosmos, countless empires have passed into myth. Earth and the Milky Way galaxy have long since been forgotten. Yet, against all the odds, mankind endured. On a massive orbital ring encircling a black hole, the architects of which are unknown, humanity continues to rage against the dying of the light. 

Alexandra Lysander is the recently-coronated Queen of the Kingdom of Laria following the assassination of her mother. She takes sovereignty over an ancient empire mired in tradition and facing an uncertain future. When a political flashpoint on the border with a neighboring empire threatens the fragile peace imposed by the Federal Ministry of Firewatch, Queen Lysander must navigate the political turmoil, threading a needle between the whims of her court and the agents of the Ministry - or risk mutual annihilation. 

When a young sorcerous is tracked down and killed, Captain of the Guard Peter Wols works to understand the mysterious circumstances behind her appearance and her death. In doing so, he uncovers a secret that threatens to upend all that humanity claims to understand about the future- and the past.All Rights Reserved

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

The Academy of Shadows by jncarriere

Magic. Bloodlines. Secrets buried in shadows. The heir to the Four Kingdoms was never meant to be found. When sixteen-year-old Princess Lyra Voss arrives at the Academy of the Arcane Veil, she carries more than her royal blood-she carries a prophecy, a curse, and a legacy lost to time. The Academy promises sanctuary. Training. Answers. But its halls whisper secrets, and not all of them want her to survive long enough to hear the truth. As Lyra is drawn into a world of forbidden magic, political intrigue, and ancient power, she discovers the ruined city of Velmora-a forgotten fifth kingdom buried in myth and shadow. The more she learns, the more impossible her future becomes: a lost twin brother, a cursed crown, and the echo of a war that never truly ended. Allies become suspects. Teachers hide dangerous truths. And deep beneath the Academy, something stirs... waiting for the Queen who was never supposed to rise. If Lyra cannot unlock her gifts-and uncover the treachery buried in her bloodline-then darkness will claim not just her, but the entire realm. The first book in a sweeping four-part dark fantasy series, The Academy of Shadows is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and A Deadly Education. Enter a world of cursed thrones, forgotten cities, and one girl caught between destiny and rebellion.

Enchantment of the Bow by TheBeautyintheBeast

Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-

Though they each know exactly what their choices may cost, four individuals stand against the wrongs of an unjust war. An alien girl with a mysterious past, willing to sacrifice all for those she loves; a general's son, born a healer yet forced to serve as a soldier; a kind human who will give her all to aid the quest of her friends; a gifted space-girl who risks everything to do what's right; together, a mismatched group united by the sufferings of war and the belief in peace.

A Heart Untamed by kaycat_writes

Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.

STARLACE: REWRITTEN by Ahn_Gee

--- Starlace --- In a galaxy where fate is programmed and rebellion is treason, one woman is about to unravel everything written in the stars. Born into the crystal domes of Elystra - a floating citadel where destinies are laced into children from birth - Niora Vale has always known her path: obedience, loyalty, silence. Woven from starlace, the mysterious quantum-thread that binds her world's future, she is marked as a Seer - a rare gift, and a dangerous one. But when she begins to see threads that aren't there - memories that never happened, people she's never met - Niora is pulled into a hidden war between ancient forces: one that questions whether free will was ever real. Haunted by visions and hunted by the Overseers, she's forced into an uneasy alliance with Kaedrix Vohl, a rogue data-binder with a past as encrypted as his heart. Together, they uncover a forbidden network of "Laeriths" - rebels born without assigned fates, unwritten, capable of reshaping time itself. As the fabric of her universe begins to unravel, Niora must decide whether to cut the threads that hold her - or become the one who rewrites them. ---

Lyra Nightshade by TheKnave4

Alongside her allies from Fairy Tail and other wizarding guilds, she faced formidable foes and fought bravely to protect the world from the forces of darkness.
