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.

Heart of Magic, écrit par ElisDndl

Prince Cahal of Aethermoor has always been different. His heart magic allows him to heal emotional wounds and read the feelings of others, but it also makes him vulnerable to every shadow of fear and despair. When ancient creatures begin breaking through the failing barriers that protect his world, Al finds himself facing a terrifying truth: to survive, his kingdom must ally with their oldest enemies. The alliance comes in the form of Prince Dames of Valdris - a warrior whose body magic can crush stone and bend steel, but who views Al's emotional abilities as weakness. Cold, arrogant, and devastatingly powerful, Dames has been sent as Al's bodyguard, a protection that feels more like an insult than aid. But when darkness invades Al's dreams and void creatures hunt him through nightmares made real, the two princes discover their magic works better together than apart. Body and heart, strength and compassion: they're stronger as partners than as enemies. The problem is that saving the world requires more than magical compatibility. It requires complete trust. As the barriers collapse and creatures of living shadow pour into their realm, Al and Dames must forge a bond deeper than alliance, stronger than magic and more powerful than the ancient hatred between their kingdoms. Because the only weapon capable of destroying creatures of pure malevolence is something the princes are just learning to wield: Love. But love demands sacrifice, and some prices may be too high to pay - even for salvation.

The Prince's Prized Possession [BL], écrit par deadpeopleflowers

Bai adored the spotlight. Night after night of awed gasps and amazed cheers as he flew through the air with his acrobatics troupe and their exceedingly well practiced routine. On stage, he was a ghost, a phantom for the hero to defeat. With his flowing white hair, the shrill cry of his flute, and the fluttering of his ornate costume aided by his own wind magic, he made quite the spectacle. Off stage, life had been unchanged for as long as he could remember. With poor vision that left him unfit for many kinds of labor, he'd been sold to the traveling circus at a young age by his poor family. Everything for his use was always in the same spot, everything always the same bright colors. Life off stage, outside of practice, consisted of such exciting tasks as using his wind magic to keep the flies out of the mess tent, and helping the never ending quantities of laundry to dry. Indentured to the show, raised by the stage, he'd never known anything else. He'd never considered anything else. But one fateful night when a wealthy foreign noble has all the other performers anxious to perform their best, Bai learns he's still able to be bought and sold. Whether he wants it or not, heir to the throne of Gelsan, Prince Kamau, is going to thrust Bai onto an entirely different stage... This story can also be found on Royal Road 👋

Even though Fennrin is suspicious of Ainreth's flirting and his arrogant attitude, Fennrin decides to go with him because his life can't get much worse. Thrust into a world of politics and power, Fennrin quickly learns just why shadowforgers are so infamous and how strong he could become, while, much to his chagrin, starting to fall for Ainreth.
