A conniving congressman, the rival kingdom of Ame, bandits, a rampaging king, a mysterious masked assassin- The Emeral Kingdom is flawed, as any nation.

Many men and women contribute to these flaws, 

Gustaaf, an (by all means reckless though) expert assassin trained under a mysterious mentor, takes a job above his normal life of stabbing, cutting, and otherwise mutilating, getting inexorably involved in a plot to take the throne.

Madelief, a farmgirl from the slums of the city outside of the great walls of Emeral, wants nothing more to settle her life back to normalcy after all hope is lost, but she soon finds herself to be caught up by the vortex that is the court.

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try." I was surprised by my response, just as much as he was, and he raised one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows at me. "Is that a challenge? I like a challenge." *** I never wanted any of the lives set out for me. Unfortunately in the new world where the monarchy has taken over, there was never a choice for a girl like me. At 18, I'm forced to leave the academy. It's a horrible place where young girls are groomed to become the perfect wives, and yet it's the only home I've ever know . Now I'll either become a human incubator, breeding children for the kingdom, or sold at auction to a man who would make me his wife and slave. Little did I know I would become a chosen one. Forced to compete in the coming-of-age competition to win the heart of the Prince and the crown. All were terrible fates, but only one included him. ___________________________________________ - completed - Mature sexual content Cover credits go to Devilishwritings

Whispers of the Aether Realm by YusakiWritesBooks
7 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where magic is woven into the very fabric of reality, the kingdom of Valoria thrives under the rule of King Aeron and Queen Selene. But the peace is fragile, disrupted by a series of unsolved murders that shatter the foundation of trust in the royal court. The culprit? An ancient power hidden in the shadows, manipulating events and preying on the darkest corners of human desire. Princess Arabelle, the kingdom's bold and fiercely independent heir, is drawn into the mystery when someone close to her is murdered. As she partners with the enigmatic Commander Raiden-a brooding warrior with a tortured past-she uncovers dark secrets about the kingdom, the throne, and her own bloodline. Together, they must navigate a web of lies, treachery, and forbidden magic, while battling their growing attraction for each other. With each murder, the kingdom edges closer to a civil war, and the whispers of an otherworldly force stir in the Aether Realm, a shadowy dimension tied to the fate of Valoria. Arabelle and Raiden must uncover the killer before the ancient magic consumes them all, but not everyone in the court wants the truth to come to light. In this blend of fantasy, romance, and a twisting murder mystery, alliances will shift, hearts will be tested, and the darkest forces will rise from the ashes of the past. Will love conquer the shadows, or will the Aether Realm claim them all?
