The game of the heart is a dangerous one to play, especially when it's tied to a crown.

Princess Serenity Vixon of the Kingdom of Dahlia has been living up to her parents' expectations for as long as she can remember, holding their opinion of her in her heart. No matter what they've asked of her, she has done without question, even getting betrothed to Prince Godric Tilman of the Kingdom of Vithe. But when the King of Hallow arrives at Dahlia's gates in order to stop the war between the two kingdoms, will Serenity stay true to the many promises she has made or will she succumb to the notion that she can have what her heart has wanted all along: love on her own terms?

Shadows of the Heart by Tandtales

He was born royalty a tri-breed prince, the first of his kind. She was just a human girl with fire in her heart and no idea the supernatural world even existed. But the moment he found her, the bond snapped into place; wild, forbidden, and far too early. She couldn't remember. He could never forget. He watched from the shadows, hungered in silence, torn between the duty of a king and the pull of a mate the universe marked for him. She grew up not knowing he'd already chosen her. But the heat between them only smoldered, scorching beneath every stolen glance, every gift left without a name, every moment she didn't understand and every one he couldn't stop himself from creating. Because some bonds don't wait. And love like theirs? It burns before it blooms.

When Aurelia arrives in the wedding her sister pleaded for the fate to stop she expected roses and vows- not statues frozen in eternal agony, or a garden that breathes with the echoes of heartbreak.

Fury and grief twist together, setting her on a collision course with the Fate who plays with hearts as if they were cards in his deck.

In a land of poisoned promises, where every kiss can kill and every tale hides a curse, Aurelia Fox will learn that even the broken-hearted can burn the brightest.

For Her Favor by BattleOfHearts

"This man had sought revenge for me and made a spectacle for it. He had protected my crown. He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need." Princess Esme was never supposed to be Queen, but when tradgedy strikes in her Fae kingdom, she is forced to bear the crown. In Amoria, the Kingdom of Love and Life, she must battle with the patriarchy now to keep it. They want a king on the throne and she wants a chance at true love like the rest of her people. To placate the nobles in her kingdom that have a grip on her power, she agrees to the Battle of Hearts-a competition where eligible princes from other kingdoms compete for her favor and to be named king. Everything Esme knows is about to be challenged and not everything will be as it seems. In the end she'll have to choose; her kingdom or her heart.
