It's in my greatest interest that I get the king on my side. He will underestimate me-they all do-and think me harmless. He will eventually let his guard down and even though he may not ever regard me as more than a mild nuisance, it will make it easier for me to strike when he's least expecting it.
Painless and quick, of course. Poison or a dagger to the heart.
After all, I'm a most gracious and kind queen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
For five years, Hereswithe has ruled Icrawaiweth, a small and impoverished kingdom notoriously referred to as the Wasteland. Despite countless enemies within her court plotting against her, she has made strides in building a better kingdom for her people. But when her estranged husband, the infamous Wretched King of the Wasteland, returns from war, her position as queen is threatened. Hera decides that she has no other option but to kill the king, but the more she learns about the mysterious man, the less sure she becomes...She knows she should hate him, but she just can't.

When Emrys returns from fighting in his father-in-law's war, he is surprised to learn that his young and ambitious wife has become a force to be reckoned with. But Emrys can't decide if he can trust her. For Hera's father, Emperor Rowan de Roet VI of The Ostonian Empire is a cruel man that seeks to claim the entire Continent for himself. Torn between aiding the Rebellion and starting another war or turning his back, Emrys struggles with his own demons. And although he can't deny his desire to get closer to Hera, he can't in fear of revealing to her just how monstrous he truly is.

Emrys' and Hera's pasts, presents and futures are deeply entangled in ways that can't be undone. Together, they must learn to trust each other and elimate threats from within their court and other kingdoms or else face a fate worse than death.

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done.

However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning.

A Coil of Shadows and Sunlight by AkiNoHyo

In a world where power decides fate, those born without magic-the Snakes-are seen as cursed, descendants of the Great White Serpent that was cast into the depths long ago. They are outcasts, prey for the Sun-Blessed, who wield magic like gods and rule with an iron grip. Mila has always known what she is-a Snake, meant to bow, meant to suffer. Until the day she is thrown from the heights, left to die at the hands of the powerful. But death never comes. Her blood ignites. Her body shifts. And from the abyss, she rises-a dragon reborn. Across the golden spires, Prince Edwin is raised to believe his destiny is to command a great dragon, just as his ancestors did before him. The world is his to rule, and the Snakes are his to crush. But Edwin is soft, too kind for a world built on cruelty. He dreams of peace, of change-of a future where power isn't everything. When fate binds the prince and the dragon together, their worlds collide in a way neither could have expected. Mila is no servant, and Edwin is no tyrant-but in a world that demands they be enemies, can they rewrite the story written in their blood? A legend reborn. A kingdom on the brink. And two souls bound by fate, standing on opposite sides of a war that has raged for centuries.

Daughter of the Shadows by julitrott

For five long years, the wizarding world has been torn apart by war, and Amoria has quietly watched from the sidelines, raised to believe that the Death Eaters offer the only path to power and order. Once a close family friend of the Malfoys, she now returns to Malfoy Manor, driven by a duty she doesn't fully understand. Her father's newfound position under The Dark Lord's rising power pulls her deeper into the conflict, and Amoria feels the crushing weight of loyalty-though she fears the cost. As the Resistance steadily closes in on the Death Eaters, Amoria is caught in a dangerous game. When a dark, ancient magic inherited from her deceased mother awakens inside her, Amoria is terrified. She never wanted power like this. But The Dark Lord believes she is the key to tipping the war in his favor, and Amoria is caught between the fear of her own abilities and the pressure to use them for the Dark Lord's cause. Training with Draco, her childhood friend turned reluctant ally, only complicates things further. Their strained relationship grows more tense with every passing day, and Amoria finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected. Though Draco remains loyal to the war, a quiet tension grows between them as Amoria begins to see sides of him that contradict his cold, icy demeanor. As the war reaches its boiling point and the Resistance closes in, Amoria must decide: will she embrace her dark legacy and do as the Dark Lord says, or will her fear of becoming the very thing she hates drive her to destroy everything she's ever known? The choice she makes will not only shape the future of the war but the fate of those she loves.

In the Empire of Duskpire, are 3 cities. Ironspire, the heart of nobles, higher-ranking citizens, and royalty reside.

Drexel Foster, an Ashen City citizen, an orphan at the age of 7 from an earthquake in the mines. Some say Nemora was angry that day for unknown reasons.

Each moment time passes, more things seem not to be as they are.

I lift my hand, holding my pistol to his chest, hovering over his heart. He stares at me, emotions spilling out of him. Emotions I can't decipher. He leans closer, the tip of the barrel pressing into his skin, just above his heart. "Do it," he whispers, inches from my face. I hold his gaze, while his hands snake under my shirt, grazing my skin. "I dare you," he lowers his voice, so gently, "Shoot me." My finger curls around the trigger, an inch from pulling it. I glare into his eyes, "You're a fucking monster," I whisper. He nods, "I know." "You kill without remorse," I spit. "I know." "I hate you," My finger screams at me to pull the trigger. "I know." "I'm disgusted by you." "I know," he inhales, letting his forehead rest against mine. His gaze falls to my lips, "If you want me dead, then kill me, pull the trigger." - It's no longer a question. My morals are gone, leaving nothing but a monstrous killing machine. Any hope for some sort of sympathy, some regard for life is nonexistent. I want death. I want to be the bringer of death, and the essence of slaughter. - Rhea Windsor, the newest ruler of Ovantasa after her parents- the former king and queen were assassinated. Her mind is in the pits of despair guided by vengeance, leaving nothing but a body of handcrafted slaughter and within that madness, she comes across a man made for killing. The ruthless killer known as Elijah Anton, who forces her to turn her back on her morals and grip on sanity. What happens when she realizes she wasn't as innocent as she thought and teeters on a heart of purity and blinding hate? When perfect becomes unattainable and her flaws take its place? - [𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆] THIS BOOK CONTAINS EXTREME GRAPHIC CONTENT AND IS NOT MADE FOR A LIGHT READ - *COMPLETE & FULLY EDITED*
