"Wars are not as complicated as women."

Rysen Amadeus, the King of Isfere, has many problems. But the biggest one of them was his stepmother and Queen Dowager, Regina. 

The woman who nearly destroyed his life; in an attempt to make her son, Adrick, the permanent heir. 

Rysen has no choice but to marry. But it can't be any other woman. His future Queen should be capable of thwarting Regina's manipulations and standing her ground. 

And he finds the right woman in the form of his best friend and fellow King's sister, Lucella Ordis. 

Would she be able to do things he can't, like putting his stepmother in her place? 

But the moment he laid his eyes on her, he knew that this couldn't be a mere political arrangement. Because Princess Lucella is not just a beauty but a fierce woman who captured his heart.All Rights Reserved

𝒯𝒽ℯ 𝒫𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒸ℯ'𝓈 𝒞𝒽ℴ𝒾𝒸ℯ by author_mayalara

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try." I was surprised by my response, just as much as he was, and he raised one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows at me. "Is that a challenge? I like a challenge." *** I never wanted any of the lives set out for me. Unfortunately in the new world where the monarchy has taken over, there was never a choice for a girl like me. At 18, I'm forced to leave the academy. It's a horrible place where young girls are groomed to become the perfect wives, and yet it's the only home I've ever know . Now I'll either become a human incubator, breeding children for the kingdom, or sold at auction to a man who would make me his wife and slave. Little did I know I would become a chosen one. Forced to compete in the coming-of-age competition to win the heart of the Prince and the crown. All were terrible fates, but only one included him. ___________________________________________ - completed - Mature sexual content Cover credits go to Devilishwritings

~.✧ Austora ✧.~ [COMPLETE] by TheBlaisse

~.✧ The kingdom of Austora is built on family names and tradition. So what happens when the quiet princess breaks the rules of both? ✧.~ Asaidylina "Saidy" Bordovaki is the third in line to the throne of Austora. She knows that her eldest brother Kartren will be King one day and is more than happy to let him live in the spotlight while she lives a quiet, comfortable life in the shadows of the castle. Despite her anxieties when it comes to new people, she is even willing to do as her parents say and court a gentlemen-Ibrin Corzavan-to create an easy life for herself and her family. But then, things change. Things become a little less easy... Larklind Sarcroft enters Saidy's life. First as a friend, and then maybe more. But there's a problem: while his family upholds traditional values, he is not of the gentry. Not even close. He's a gatekeeper guard, considered on the same level as a castle servant. But love has no bounds and despite their completely different worlds they are drawn together by a beautiful force. Only time will tell how long this force can keep them together...

For Honor and Love by FRLagoF

Disclaimer: Content is subject to change as the story is still being refined. AI-generated images are used for illustrative purposes only. Kastiel Ravaryn, the fiercest general in all of Solmaria, was a name whispered in fear on the battlefield. His victories were countless, his strategies unparalleled, and his loyalty to his kingdom unwavering. When the king offered a prize for his triumphs-not wealth, nor land, but a woman of his choice-the court expected him to claim a noble lady, perhaps even Princess Avaria herself. But Kastiel shocked them all by choosing Seraphine Kaelor-a humble healer, a commoner, and a woman whose kindness had unknowingly captured his heart. Seraphine, who had spent her life healing the wounded and tending to the sick, never imagined she would be thrust into the heart of a royal scandal. She had always known her place, far from the glittering world of nobles and kings, but Kastiel's unexpected choice shattered her understanding of her own worth. As she became the center of court gossip, Seraphine found herself caught between the love of a man who defied his station and the dangerous obsession of Princess Avaria, who would stop at nothing to claim Kastiel for herself. While Kastiel battles foreign invaders, he is also forced to fight against the web of lies, betrayal, and envy that threaten to tear his world apart. With Seraphine's life hanging in the balance and the kingdom's future uncertain, Kastiel must confront not only the enemies at his doorstep but the haunting truth that love, above all, may be the war that leaves him broken beyond repair. In a land where loyalty and betrayal intertwine, where every victory is shadowed by loss, Kastiel and Seraphine must navigate a perilous path, one where their hearts and their lives are the ultimate prize.

Red Moon by SnowingBloom

Skye had spent her entire life avoiding men. Diagnosed with a rare psychosomatic condition triggered by male presence, she had carefully built a world where they didn't exist, attending an all-girls school, surrounding herself only with women, and rejecting the idea that men could ever be anything but untrustworthy. Her father's betrayal had proven that to her long ago. But one night changes everything. Forced to attend a bachelorette party, Skye steps into a bar filled with men for the first time in years. The moment they surround her, her body succumbs to the overwhelming sickness, and she collapses. When she opens her eyes again, she is no longer Skye. She has been reborn as Princess Flanna Caera Lunae Radbourne, the feared Flame Princess of the Southern Empire, a world where women rule, and men serve. In this matriarchal empire, the roles of power are reversed: Empresses command vast armies, princesses wield swords, and men exist solely to obey their liege ladies. Flanna is no exception. Known as the Crimson Warrior, she is ruthless, cunning, and infamous for both her victories on the battlefield and the size of her harem. But Skye is still Skye. The idea of men obeying her, of being hers to command, is more terrifying than enticing. As she struggles to reconcile her past trauma with her new reality, she is thrown into a battle for the throne. The empire demands a ruler, and all princesses are contenders, Flanna included. If she does not fight for the crown, she will become a pawn in someone else's game. With enemies lurking in the shadows, suitors vying for her favor, and her own mind waging war against her, Skye must decide: Will she embrace the power of Flanna and take the throne, or will her past fears consume her before she gets the chance?

With every step, Irisa's once-peaceful existence unravels into a web of secrets, betrayals, and unseen threats. Nowhere is safe-not even within the walls of her own home.
