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.

Of Thieves & Kings by StephanieDekker

In the Known World, fire is more than power-it is destiny. Rebellion ignites in the desert city of Claethorpes, where a sinister flame colder than death itself threatens to consume Emberland. Leading his father's armies into battle, Cassian, the illegitimate son of King Darius, is tested in blood and fire long before he ever dreams of wearing a crown. But as the city burns, tragedy spreads to the heart of the empire. King Darius lies on his deathbed, leaving behind a fractured realm-and a dangerous legacy. Though he legitimized Cassian and named him heir, Queen Sophia and her son, Prince Gaius, will stop at nothing to seize the throne. As Cassian navigates the treacherous paths of war and court intrigue, he must also face the shadows within. Haunted by a white creature that stalks his dreams, and drawn to a fiery redhead whose beauty hides dangerous secrets, he struggles to hold on to his destiny. Caught between rebellion on the battlefield and betrayal in the royal court, Cassian must choose what kind of man he will become. Will he rise as the king his father believed in-or be consumed by the enemies gathering on every front? Epic battles, elemental gifts, and a kingdom at war with itself converge in this sweeping high-fantasy saga where every choice burns.

ISHQ-E-NAQSH by neha_meher

"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?

Dream-Walker by MagicMirrorMari11

Rosalina doesn't live a normal life. Okay-technically she does. She works, eats, sleeps... But when she dreams, she enters another world-one where she's tasked with keeping innocent people safe from Nightmares. Then there's Henry. Artist. Brooding. Moody. You know the type. He thinks he's charming. He's not. Worst of all, he's a Dreamer-In-Training. Rosalina doesn't want to deal with Henry's brand of stubborn-not when her own life is quietly falling apart. But fate, dreams, and work keep pulling them together. It's too many responsibilities, too many secrets, and just maybe... too many feelings. (Will update monthly as my schedule allows)
