The greatest asset to any army is not a soldier or an archer or even an officer-it is a Wordweaver. A powerful Wordweaver can annihilate hundreds with a single word, and a king would do anything to get his hands on one. Which is why 19-year-old Ynria keeps her abilities secret. She wants nothing more than to finish her studies, become a healer, and live her life in peace.

But war finds her when soldiers come to her village to conscript a man from every family. Desperate to keep her best friend's young brother safe at home-and to escape an unwanted marriage-Ynria disguises her gender and enlists in his place.

When they reach the training grounds, however, Ynria and the villagers find that life as a soldier isn't what they'd expected. Trapped between two countries on the verge of war, Ynria must decide where her loyalties lie. Is it with her neighbors, from whom she has had to hide her true self all her life? Or with Six, an enemy scout whose quick smile hides a mysterious past?

Or is there a way to choose them both?All Rights Reserved

Scars of Gold by makexbelieve

When Kacia discovers the forbidden magic running through her veins, she is given a choice - pretend her powers belong to her worst enemy, and use them to help him cement his claim to the throne - or forfeit her life. Can she play along for long enough to plot Ash's downfall, or is their fake truce about to turn into something a lot more complicated? ✨ Throughout fifteen years of Lathrian rule, Kacia has dreamt only of her family and her freedom. After she braves a storm-tossed mountainside in search of reunion with a mother she hasn't seen for a decade, she discovers that she has the power to mimic the magic of others - an ability that sees her sentenced to death by the Lathrian Kingdom which controls her people. That is, until the Lathrian king demands she uses her powers to legitimise his stepson's claim to the throne. If she agrees, she can keep her life - for now. Kacia becomes caught between the volatile brothers she didn't know existed and a prince who is more sympathetic than he seems. The choice she makes, between violent rebellion or slow moving negotiations, might alter the fates of her people - but only if she can decide before the bargain that prolonged her life runs out. Family and freedom may be the things Kacia wanted most, but to gain one she might have to sacrifice the other.

Echoes of The Forgotten by _farasha_

In a quiet coastal town, a mysterious journal is found, tucked between the pages of a random book. It belongs to an explorer who vanished a century ago while searching for a mythical island believed to grant immortality. The journal, filled with cryptic symbols and half-finished maps, falls into the hands of Seraphina, a curious librarian who has always felt drawn to the ocean but never understood why. As Seraphina decodes the journal, she uncovers long-buried secrets about her town and her own lineage. She discovers that her ancestors were part of the last expedition to the island, but none of them ever returned. Driven by a desire to uncover the truth and finally understand the connection, she assembles a small group of misfits, including a curious cartographer, a daring treasure hunter, and a historian who knows to pay attention to detail. Together, they embark on a life-threatening journey across treacherous waters, facing mystical sea creatures, ancient traps, and a rival crew chasing the same prize. Along the way, they confront the possibility that the island's immortality might come at a terrible cost. The deeper they go, the more Seraphina realizes that some mysteries are better left buried.

All I Need ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

The Age of Information. They watch you, follows your every move. A slip of tongue, false alarm, wrong password and every bit of your information will be in the hands of the other end while you will be reduced to triviality.

A malicious and hideous Governing Body, playing keys of black and white, striped and colourful humans like puppets. The laws of marriage, pawns as children and trading everything to be placed further up the hierarchy. Blinded by the rapacity of power and fame, not even backstabbing is given a second thought. May it be to your dearest friend or foe. A girl of flesh and bones, contract bound to be a cyborg soon, eradicating stereotypes and malpractices, wrecking entitlement and fighting for peace. A boy of frail faith in love, snatched away from his lover, in search for a purpose to live for. Eight years. Seven days. Six hours. Five lives. Four heads. Three teenagers. Two states. One project. - ©all rights reserved. 2021 (vaulce) : current cover by me - [05/08/2021] - [N/A]
