Absent Heart by angelfly95

I don't believe in miracles. Or in magic or fate. Or even that everyone has a soul mate out there. I believe in Reality. Parents murdered. Siblings Dead. I'm alone ... That's what I thought until I was dared to go into an abandoned house to show everyone I'm not a coward. In the end I found out it wasn't worth it because guess what I found? An undead prince saying that I'm his long lost Queen!

Veil of Shadows by user109087563

In a world where magic is feared and pursued, Ariana, known only as the Reaper, maneuvers through the shadows with unmatched skill. An expert thief born with mysterious powers, she is driven by the allure of wealth and the whispers of a legacy she doesn't understand. Her life takes an unexpected turn at a masquerade ball when she encounters a charming prince with secrets of his own. Prince Kael, son of a tyrannical king who has vowed to eradicate all magic, struggles under the weight of a destiny he never wanted. When he meets the enigmatic Ariana, his world-and his heart-are thrown into turmoil. The strange pulsing of her necklace and the sudden awakening of latent powers lead him into a realm of magic and mystery he never imagined existed. Together, they uncover the hidden truths of their lineage and the magical realm thought lost to time. As the forgotten magic realm becomes a rallying point for a brewing rebellion, Ariana and Kael must decide if their burgeoning love is enough to unite their divided worlds, or if the shadows from their pasts will tear them apart. Discover "Veil of Shadows," where every whisper of magic comes with a price, and every shadow holds a secret waiting to be unveiled.

THE HEART OF SHADOWS by ke_nzie4u

"Beyond the veil of the mundane, where shadows danced and whispers spoke secrets, a young woman named [Camilie] stumbled upon a hidden path. A path that led her to the threshold of a realm both wondrous and treacherous - the domain of the Demon King. Here, time was a river that flowed in circles, and the very air was alive with ancient power. And [camilie] was about to find herself swept away by a love that would change the course of her destiny forever."

A Dance Between Worlds by LadyJackSkellington

In the ancient land of Nymeris, where magic wove through every blade of grass and stone, two worlds once thrived in harmony: the humans and the mystical fae. Then, one day, a wall-like invisible barrier, known as the Veil, appeared. The Veil now stands between these two worlds, a testament to a forgotten time when peace was shattered by greed and mistrust. Despite the physical and magical separation, the legacy of the unified Nymeris lingers in myths and old stories told by elders. Around flickering hearth fires, whispers of a prophecy circulate among both humans and Fae, a tale of a chosen one who will bridge the divide and restore harmony between the two worlds. This prophecy speaks of a time when the Veil will be broken, and a new era of unity will dawn. "When silence falls, and shadows creep, A hero's light shall wake from sleep. Two worlds apart shall join as one, Their union forged; the battle won."

My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: Cyra is pulled into a foreign world where humans are rarities while vampires, elves, werewolves, witches, and more strange creatures are the norm. That's the least of her worries though. Now the bride of one of the most powerful vampires in all of the kingdom, she is faced with two choices. One: give in and accept her doomed future with a husband who detests humans, or two: successfully kill him before he is crowned King of Bestias. WARNING: This story contains scenes involving sexual assault/harassment. The chapters containing these potentially triggering subjects all have warnings at the start of them!
