The Dragon court under the now ancient King Magnus is a dangerous and ruthless place to grow up. A fact Estella has learned in painful detail. It's hard to recover from your father being labeled a traitor to the crown, and executed on the whim of your king. Stripped of titles, position, fortune, even her last name and home.

In spite of her tragic circumstances, Esti does her best to overcome the challenges put in front of her. Adjusting from court life to peasanthood. Life is quiet on a farm, the work is hard. Esti doesn't mind the hard work, a tired body keeps her from having to think too much about everything she has lost. Esti thought the world was finally leveling out under her feet again after two years of learning the hard way how to farm.

Until her mother betrays her, ending the delicate sense of peace Esti had come to know. Her world is shattered once again. Returned to the castle as less than an exile, Esti now has to contend with figuring our her place in the strict hierarchy of the court. No longer noble and generally hated by the other servants and slaves, Esti just wants to find a small hidden life where she can be content. 

That is, until one of the King's own bastard many greats grandson takes an interest in her. Adding too many layers of complications for Esti to solve on her own. Needing to rely on friends she knows, friends she makes, and the Royal bastard she didn't want to know, Esti needs to find herself, to save herself.

"It is time for you to find a suitable lady to marry, don't you think?", my mother comments. Our feast has nearley started and I have already had enough. "Not something I occupy myself thinking about.", I comment, not sure if the told lie was for her, or for me. "Stark girl is looking for a husband. Talissa, if I remember correctly. I think she would be a good fit for you.", she persists and I chuckle, "A good fir for me yet you barely know her name." She opens her mouth to speak but I decide to put a stop to this annoying conversation, "A wife is something I do not need nor desire at this moment. If my dearest sister becomes queen my martial status will be the last thing to keep you up at night." My mother looks at me, "That won't happen, I assure you." Helaena touches mothers hand, taking her attention away from me. I tab my middle finger on the wooden table a few times, lifting my eye to find the person that has been, to my discomfort, taking a fraction of my mind lately. She's talking to Damon, a smile painted across her face as she rests her chin on her hand, carefully listening to him talking. It took some time before her eyes swiftly shifted from his face to mine and the realization of me looking made her drop her arm and straighten up in her seat. My attention made her visibly nervous. Few moments later she stood up and, without thinking, my body did the same. I start walking, making sure I don't loose her in the crowd. I am playing a dangerous game but it is something I simply can not seem to resist. ***** When Damon Targen finds an old broken amulet at his deceased grandmothers house, he asks his friend and co-worker Emma for help in finding more about it, but what they discover will lead them down the complicated path of his family tree and history, eventually getting them trapped in a world they know little about ...a world where war is about to break out and every small move you make decides if you will live or die.

The Bancroft Legacy by BabyD54
8 parts Ongoing Mature
'In a world of the supernatural, if you're human, you're obviously not normal.' ~~~~~~~~~~ Aiden Cadwell has all a guy his age needs. A dependable family, a loyal best friend, and a devoted girlfriend. Or at least what he thought he had anyways. Battling his last year of high school is difficult. Avoiding the trauma his cheating ex-girlfriend and unloyal ex-best friend have left behind is even more difficult. If only high school drama was all he had to worry about. Aiden's life only gets more complicated when a new mysterious stranger appears. Secrets come to light, enemies come out of the shadows, and a new world comes to life. Laylani Blackwood's only purpose in life was one thing, to serve and protect the Bancrofts at any cost. Her grandparents had served them, her parents as well, now it was her turn to carry on the legacy. She was prepared for many things but babysitting a mortal in the mundane world was not one of them, but the king needed a guardian he could trust and she needed a way to prove herself. Her new charge? The lost Bancroft heir apparently. She was definitely not prepared for that. Nor was she prepared for the awkwardly charming, not-so-confident, and aggravating guy she now had to protect with her life. Was it too late to ask for a different job? ~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Y'all know the usual warnings everyone puts out and they aren't any different here. This is my work, hard work, and I would very much like it to stay that way please. There is strong language and possible content, you've been warned. I'm still a new writer and learning so work with me here and help me fix it, NICELY. This is not a continuously updated story, it is a hobby at the moment that I do in my free time.

Very gently- her soft lips brush against mine. My eyes flutter closed and I lean back in, smiling. "Nyx, I swear to god, you are going to kill me one day" "What do you mean...?" "Forget it, you already have." ★★★★★ Nyx doesn't want the life she was given at birth. She's a fighter, not a pretty little object that needs saving. Kiran should have never been taken. He's never been a fighter, he acted more like a prince than a knight. When Nyx Maskousky was taken as a young child, she was raised as a thief, but more importantly, as a fighter. But there's a catch: she has to dress like a man, or she's immediately thrown in a cell to rot, where every fragment of her freedom will be gone- ruined. Kiran Taner was taken, along with three other children at eleven, and like everyone else, was raised as a thief. But just as the universe had seemed to want, he's never been strong enough, and has to spend long hours every evening with a woman he can't hide feelings from- Nyx Maskousky. But with a horrible twist of fate, Nyx and Kiran was caught- however not by the exterminators, but by the Trial judges- who put both of them together in the them. However, if they find out that Nyx isn't a man- her whole life will be torn apart, and she will be locked up, or worse, killed. And the trials will easily be Kiran's end, for how strong everyone else is, yet how weak he was. And with a terrible level of self control, Kiran needs to keep his feelings from Nyx for as long as he can. Or that could be his downfall. Extra details: Includes music in a majority of the chapters, thank you to all the creators who made them 🙏. This novel does have deeper meanings as it progresses, so please stick around for it. TAKEN REFERENCE FROM THE BOOK POWERLESS AND THE MOVIE MULAN.
