conflict desert dreamlandbooks dust highfantasy hybrid magic magicalcreatures matriarchy multiplepov rebel utopiansociety

In Tehazihbith, imperfection is a myth. Blessed with divine power, the city's miracle rivers overflow with dust, a glittering, colourful cascade, and its people weave life-giving magic. Imperfection belongs to the beasts and the beastfolk: strange, violent beings that prowl outside the city's protection.

When Rayanah Kel-Jabir stumbles upon a wounded, dying beastfolk boy, she's faced with a choice. As a young mage and wielder of dust, trained to defend Tehazihbith from the beasts' mindless attacks, saving the boy's life goes against everything she's ever known--yet for Raya, her perfect nature is a cage, and choices are rare.

The more she learns of the boy and his people, the more cracks begin to show in her city's sacred harmony. The winds are shifting, and they sing of blood, spilled from beasts and mages alike. The trouble is hearing the warning notes before it's too late.

The Kingdom of Smoke and Secrets by ShadesOfScarlett

Eight Houses. One Kingdom. A fragile peace that hides cracks deep enough to shatter everything. Prince Aurelien of House Chrysos is bound by duty, expectation, and a crown he's not sure he wants. Sent on a royal tour across the elemental Houses, he begins to see the Kingdom not through the eyes of an heir, but as a man-one who questions the balance of power and the cracks beneath the surface. Tala of House Zoetic is a gifted Healer, tied to the land and its creatures through an unbreakable bond. But her choice to walk a different path than her family has cost her dearly. When her world collides with Auro's, their fragile alliance begins to spark with something more-something neither of them is ready to face. Jessamy of House Verdant is running-from her past, from her failures, and from a choice she cannot take back. Following a mysterious pull deep into forbidden territory, she discovers a truth long buried, one that could set the Kingdom ablaze or save it from ruin. But rebellion stirs in the shadows, and secrets older than the Kingdom itself are beginning to resurface. In a land where fire dances, water sings, and shadows keep their own counsel, every choice carries a price. Some paths are chosen. Some are forged in fire. And some lead to the edge of everything.

"In a world where dominance ruled the halls and secrets whispered through elite corridors, four girls walked in unknowingly-each carrying dreams, scars, and silent wars of their own. But fate doesn't knock politely; it crashes in. And when Amira Reyhan, a girl of faith, books, and impossible simplicity, crossed paths with Raif Zayyan-the cold-blooded prince of the shadows-everything changed. Welcome to a story where hearts wage wars, pride crumbles, and love... isn't always gentle." They say fate doesn't ask before changing your life. At Alnoor University, fate doesn't just knock-it crashes, breaks, and rebuilds. Amira Reyhan, a girl who walks in with quiet strength and eyes full of hidden storms. Raif zayyan, the king no one dares to question-until she does. Their first meeting? A incident. Their second? A mistake . After that... nothing is the same. Secrets. Power. Unspoken bonds. Wild emotions. An obsession that feels wrong... yet makes everything feel right. Friendships will be tested. Hearts will be bruised. Dreams will collide. And love? It'll either destroy them-or define them. This isn't a story about perfection. It's about two souls who weren't supposed to meet-but did. And once they did... nothing could stop what was coming. --- "Ishq-e-Naqsh" isn't a fairytale. It's a war. A test. A heartbeat that never fades. Are you ready to feel every beat of it?
