In a realm where binds of blood ensure absolute loyalty, a former general and his new guard navigate politics and assassination attempts in the face of impending war.

• • • • •

Wrell Draekon failed in her duty as a bloodbound guard when her master was killed by an unknown assassin. Hoping to redeem herself, and with nowhere else to go, she pledges her loyalty to Lord General Jurion Calustus, her master's younger brother and the realm's new Great Lord.

Still reeling after the murder of his mother and brother, Jurion Calustus is thrust into a role he does not want and bloodbound to a servant he does not need. To preserve his realm from war, he forges a shaky alliance with the ruthless Empress Vian, a woman as perplexing as the guard who follows his every step. 

But as both Wrell and Jurion attempt to survive the dangers and difficulties of three nations on the brink of war, they are forced to come to terms with what they have lost . . . and begin to realize what they truly need.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.

Eternal Night by MadameRemember

In stories such as these, it always comes down to the two... the divine pairing, bound by destiny. THE DRAGON: Vladislaus Drăculea has lost everything - his children, his allies, his potency, and now his throne. At the mercy of fate, he must abandon his identity and search amidst a city on the brink of revolution for the only person who can restore to him what has been lost - the one foretold to be his undying bride. Problem is, she wants nothing to do with him. THE LIONESS: Francesca Chase has been cursed with poison in her veins and a dark passenger that continually threatens to wreak havoc on all in her path - even those she loves. Grappling with a recent series of losses and the fear of losing control again, she's confronted with a choice: surrender to her destiny and the unknown power inside of her, or fight it tooth and nail, consequences be damned.

A Dance Of Blades and Hearts by tonna_v

Mercy & Fire by daughteroftMH

Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language.

Has certain depictions of sexual harassment. Portrayals of violence. And many others that are not meant to be viewed (or in this context, read) by young audiences.

All I Need ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.
