Erik Torston is a simple hog farmer, the head of the family after his father and half brother answered a summons to war five years ago. When a new summons comes, he and his friends answer the call, leaving River Bend and the only home they've ever known.

Erik is reluctantly forced into the world of soldiers and politics, questioning who he is as he navigates a secret family connection, a scheming Duke, and his attraction to the beautiful Lady Abigail. 

Circumstance takes him to the Capital, where royal secrets and a war threatens not only everything Erik has ever known, but his life as well.

---

Lady Abigail wants nothing more than to go home to raise her uncle's infant daughter Mouse in the warmth of her family home while he grieves the loss of his wife in childbirth. She plans to head home when the army mustering for the King heads for the coast. That army includes Erik Torston, the handsome and somewhat mysterious new recruit.

When the Duke arrives to inspect the troops, it starts a series of events that changes the plan for everyone at Berrigan Keep, thrusting Abigail and Mouse into the viper's nest of the royal court, where whispered scandals are currency, and nothing is what it seems... 

Including Erik Torston.

---

Blood of Quartz is an alternate universe fantasy adventure story with hints of magic, secret royalty, and a slow burn love story. It is about finding your way when life turns out differently than you expect, family, and the ties that bind us all.

City of The Crooked (Crooked Souls #1) بقلم Suri-Sabri

Rin Adachi only wants one thing in life-a shit ton of money! The word 'Retirement' to her is sweeter than any spoken sentiment. She's been hunting monsters for decades, and yet any shred of money she makes is barely enough to last her through the month. Living in the vibrant, ever-progressing city of New Eden just adds to the ridiculous amount of overpriced things she needs to pay for. She can't possibly return home, for she's indefinitely banned from ever stepping foot into any squared inch of the Oni Court. When things seem bleak, an opportunity presents itself when Aleksandr Novak, a renowned mage from the Magi Court and an old 'acquaintance,' offers her two million tokens to be a part of his top-secret team. Rin is skeptical at first, especially since the job comes from none other than the enigmatic Crones of the Bone Court; the three sisters with the power over souls. But the promise of two million is too tempting to pass by, even if she's recruited to investigate the sudden disappearance of Amahle Khumalo; the Princess of the Silver Eel Court who is known for possessing and confining one of the infamous six sealed beasts. Finding the missing royal is just one of the many things Rin has to deal with. Among those are the unlikely individuals she is paired with; a fae con artist with the ability to shapeshift, an assassin cursed to have no face, a noble General that can command the waters, a daemon prince determined to find his fiancée, and a human man sentenced to death.

In Thy Name بقلم Talvik77

Two men separated by magic and caste--can they cross the line? (And save the world while they're at it?) An mxm dark fantasy romance. The slowest of slow burns, but there will be explicit scenes eventually ;) Mature themes; pls check the content warnings! Before every political revolution, comes a revolution of the heart. Sareb, an outcast shaman-mage, and Kuya, a warlord's son, could not be more different. Living alone in a cave, shunned by almost everyone, Sareb refuses to admit he needs anyone or anything. For Kuya, family is everything. He would do anything for his older sister, the heir to their father's steppe empire, poised on the brink of world conquest-although he harbors misgivings about their violent way of life. When Sareb intervenes in an "accident" that leaves Kuya's sister's soul in limbo, the two are drawn into a quest from the desert sands to the northern steppe in search of her soul. As the stakes rise from one soul to clan rivalry to world war, a connection grows between the surly mage and the softhearted warrior. But Sareb has walled himself off after losing practically everyone that mattered to him, and he refuses to open up to one of the warrior elite who are to blame. For Kuya, the family name comes first, even before matters of the heart. For them to be together-not to mention stop the impending war-the entire world will have to change. For fans of THE POPPY WAR, THE JASMINE THRONE or THE FIFTH SEASON - but GAY! Content Warnings: brutal colonization/enslavement/genocide (mostly off the page); drug use/abuse; emotional abuse with sexual undertones; PTSD, depression and suicidal ideation; fantasy violence All of the main characters are 18+. Caste-based oppression, abuse, and mental health issues are depicted, but the storyline is one of healing and making the world better.

✧The Earthe of the Elves✧ بقلم StoriesbyAvery

"Upstairs!" I hear a yell and pounding footsteps. I crawl out of the window until I'm hanging from my hands. I take a breath. I let go. ~ Living in a small town with a single mother, Mia Glenn never expected anything special to come of her life. She never thought she would go on an adventure as harrowing as the stories she read. Until one day she narrowly avoids being kidnapped, discovering in the same day a whole new universe that she is supposedly a part of. As she navigates the elven world of Earthe with the help of a particularly attractive elf boy, she learns secrets about her identity and her father's, of whom she believed had ditched her and her mom at an early age. Soon Mia discovers that peace isn't as easy as it seems, and while Earthe may be beautiful, there are dark parts that are creeping back to the light. Even in a world of perfect beings such as elves, lies can be spun as precisely as an arrow can pierce a target, and evil can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Mia is used to reading about this kind of stuff, not living it. Safe to say she finds herself in one hell of an adventure. - - TW: if you need a tw for fighting, violence, weapons, blood, death, etc. I would read with caution (I don't get into any gory details, but there are scenes w/ this) I will put tw's for the more violent scenes.

Destiny Brought us Here بقلم your_holy_obsession

She's beautiful, I'm literally half blind, and I can see that. She's not perfect, she's rough around the edges, and it's that raw imperfection that drives me off the edge. I'm obsessed with every little thing about her. The way she saunters around like the entire world belongs to her... and let's be honest-it does. She doesn't just walk, she commands the ground beneath her feet, she's got assholes lining up for miles to kiss her sweet round ass, and she knows it. ⭐️----------------------⭐️ Alexandra is your seemingly normal, mundane, hardworking southern girl. Working whatever job she can find, but in reality she's a hitman for hire, she doesn't care who her target is... She kills first and asks questions later. She's trying to keep her brother afloat while she's swimming with blood-thirsty sharks. But when Adam comes into her life, everything starts to crumble, everything she's worked for, everything she knows and loves. Does she spiral? Or does she pull herself together enough to bring down the real villain of the story. Adam... A detective who's worked day and night, losing sleep in finding the mysterious killer who calls herself viper, leaving calling cards, and teasing the police. Until, he finds her- but for some reason..he can't find it in him to arrest her- why? Soon he finds himself questioning.. Who's really the monster hiding under his bed? 18+!!

A Dance Of Crowns & Thrones | Part I بقلم AWriternamed-ANA

This book is for those who love slow-burn, chaotic, "how can they be that stupid," "about bloody time," wrench-your-heart-but-make-you-feel-so-good romances. Because what's life without a bit of drama, right? Throw in epic chaos, a princess on the run, and some evil bad guys (because every story needs a villain), and you've got a book that will keep you knee-deep in drama. If you've come here looking for your traditional synopsis, read on, my lovely readers. And if what you really crave is a mix of whump, smut, and rom-com with a side of catastrophe, then look no further-I've got you covered. __________________________________________________________________________ Proper Synopsis When a devastating attack reduces her home to ruins, Princess Sera's only option is to flee. Seeking refuge on Earth, she meets Matthew, the cocky, confident leader of the Allegiant Academy. Little does she know that the man she's starting to fall for is the same person who wields immense power-the one she dubbed 'Ace' and has been her bitter enemy since childhood. But hey, that's not exactly first-date material, is it? Nobody kicks it off with, "Oh, by the way, I have an alter ego who's a fiend-fighting, blood-killer type that hunts savages for sport." Right? As Sera tries to keep her princess status and crystal warrior identity under wraps, she throws herself into becoming someone else. After growing up in war, happiness doesn't just return-it sneaks up on you, like plants pushing through cracked concrete. But when her past comes knocking, threatening to undo everything she's painstakingly rebuilt, she'll quickly learn that truth has impeccable timing-and her destiny has the absolute worst habit of showing up when she least expects it. But seriously, what did she expect? When it comes to life, destiny, and fate, it's never really in our hands, is it? _______________________________________________________________________________

Secret Mind ✓ بقلم sadlyish

"She's right! She's right! I don't cut in the right spot." My hold tightens on my wrist. The red blood oozes out of my wrist. I slide up and grab my bag and run out of the bathroom. I don't care if people can see the blood I just want to get out. I race for the doors and shove through people. I earn a lot of glares and glances that read "weirdo." I ignore and push. I run to my house and lock myself in my bathroom. I don't bother closing the front door cause I don't care if people come in to kill me. I grab my razor and cut deep cuts into my arm and wrists falling into a pool of my own blood. • • • Evangeline has a great life. Friends? Check! Good grades? Check! Loving family? Check! But what if she has secrets that nobody knows of? What if the only thing she can trust is her secret diary? What if slowly but surly she's dying inside? How can an innocent twelve year old deal with these problems? Will she keep on facing these problem till the day she breaks. Her school burns down forcing her into a different school to meet different people and she has to fit into a different lifestyle as well. Meet Evangeline. Now at 17 years of age in a new high school. Not all girls anymore. No uniform. Meet Drake. Your classic bad-boy. He just moved to Saint Abigail high school. He is assigned partners with the quiet, calm, unnoticed Evangeline. As time progresses he finds that she isn't as happy on the inside as she is on the outside. Can he save her? Or is it too late? • • • Some rude language. Depression and cutting. Don't say I didn't warn you. Okay, I wrote this at the start of this year (may 2016) and I had very poor writing skills. This book hasn't been edited and the whole idea is cliche so I wouldn't recommend you read it but I'm not stopping you, either. Read at your own risk. • • • Copyright © 2017 by -moonlust.
