Brethen is not afraid of anything. Or at least, of very little.

Trained by a league of warriors and assassins, she was personally picked to be Prince Arian's Champion. From that day forward, Brethen became the prince's shadow, responsible for keeping him safe, even if it cost her life.

Arian will one day be king, but until that day comes, he is a sorcerer. Secretly, of course. Dark Magic isn't well-regarded in Pratoria. Despite his skills, every magic has its price, and Arian is aware of the risks.

Over the years, Brethen's primary concern was to keep the prince's secret safe. But now, a much greater threat emerges. The Dark Tide, a powerful and violent group that aims to seize power in Pratoria, is back after almost a century of dormancy. Now, anyone could be a traitor, even within the palace walls.

The Tide is rising faster than expected, its Shadows spreading to the four corners of Pratoria, and perhaps a bit of Dark Magic will be needed to contain this threat.

Amidst betrayals, deaths, and secrets, Brethen must keep the prince safe at all costs. But when duty and love intertwine, she will discover the true meaning of fear.

BeastKeeper by mckennagrace22
24 parts Ongoing Mature
In a kingdom shaped by gods and ruled by elemental power, one girl was never meant to survive. Ten years ago, a shadow creature slipped through a weakened Veil and slaughtered Aria's family-wiping out an entire Beastkeeper bloodline. Or so the kingdom believes. Aria was found unconscious on the riverbank, with no memory of who she was or where she came from. With only basic magic and a nightmare she can't shake, she's spent years preparing for a future that never quite felt like hers. But grief has a way of breaking things open. As the Sorting Ceremony looms, the pressure to prove herself builds-until her control finally shatters. What follows is a flooded hall, a glowing mark burned into her back, and a truth no one is prepared to face. Because the mark belongs to a Beastkeeper. And those were only stories. Now summoned to a hidden fortress that was never supposed to exist, Aria must confront a legacy buried in myth, a power she doesn't understand, and a bond that should have been impossible. Because the Veil is thinning again. And this time, the shadows aren't waiting at the edge.

The Airbone Fate [COMPLETED] by cherryplums_sweet
97 parts Complete Mature
Arianna Sapphire always thought her life was ordinary-quiet days, familiar faces, and dreams that never reached beyond the stars above her window. But everything changed on that night. A sacrifice was made-one that tore her from the only world she knew and thrust her into another. One decision, one unraveling truth, and her simple life was gone forever. Whispers of royalty and magic soon followed. Arianna discovers that she is no ordinary girl-she is the lost heir to the mystical realm of Enchancia, bearer of the legendary Diamond Sapphire. Within her flows the ancient power of air, a force once guarded by her ancestors, now awakened in her. But with that power comes great danger-especially when the kingdom's most feared enemies, the Dark King and his merciless son Cyrus, set their sights on her. They want her gem. Her magic. Her life. To protect her, Queen Celestia assigns her most trusted warrior: Captain Travis Collen, a strict, mysterious royal guard with a dark past and even darker blood. Known for his cold discipline and silence, Travis never expected to care-not for a mission, and certainly not for her. But as they face trials together-ambushes, betrayals, battles that scar both body and soul-walls begin to fall, and emotions begin to rise. Against all odds, love finds its way between sword fights and shattered skies. But can love survive when fate itself seems determined to pull them apart? Will Arianna learn to control the power that she was destined to? Can Travis protect her from the darkness? Step into a world of royalty, elemental magic, forbidden love, and war that tests the very limits of loyalty. Because in Enchancia, nothing is ever what it seems. And sometimes, love is the most dangerous magic of all.
