Sir William Horton is Ashfern's resident Hero. He was the richest man in five counties and a well-known bastard. Rumors of every kind have been whispered about the infamous Black Knight, his all-encompassing cruelty, his frozen heart, and the twisted means by which he finds his pleasure. Every person in Ashfern knows to keep a wagging tongue still and eyes trained anywhere but on him should he come into view.

So when Nan Harris finds him on the beach and is neither distant, silent, nor fearful, he cannot help but wonder. How can a simple beggar girl treat him like any other man? Who is this woman that can hold his attention with only a few words, or more importantly, who was she before coming to Ashfern?

It was on the 500th century of hell that I saw my salvation. He had walked in with a devilish smirk and sharp features. He had walked into my hell...My only goal was to get him out...To make sure he got out safely. The only caveat is, I made him hate me. The things I did to survive are things he can never forgive. And now I am forced to partner with him to ensure the survival of his kingdom and mine. - As the Regent of House Dae within the faerie realm, Adalind made a choice three years ago. That choice kept the people she loved safe and caused her the affection of her mate. She could live with that choice. It's not until her kingdom and her mate's kingdom are forced into a partnership that she has to face painful realties. Perhaps she truly was too broken to be fixed. Perhaps no one could love her and her scars. He has been given many names. The Lord of Shadows. The Shadowbringer. The Broken. All appropriate for the Beta that wields the shadows. After watching his mate murder a child and attack his lands, Goliath has grown cold and closed off to everyone around him, even his dearest friends. He's thrown himself into dangerous missions to forget the face of his true mate. He leaves his kingdom often to forget the face of the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. But he cannot forgive her. He is resolved to live a mateless life. He is resolved to let go of his fae Queen. But his duty calls to work with her kingdom. The safety of his people requires it. He grows to realize that maybe all is not quite what it seem and maybe the person we have to become to survive is not the same as the person we truly are. - They call him Goliath. They call him The Lord of Shadows. They call him The Broken. They call me Adalyndra. They call me The Dragondaughter. They call me the Mother of the Sun. BOOK II OF THE TOUCH OF DEMISE SERIES

When Fae Kneel by Jan_u_lee

"From this very moment forward, I, Cyrus Ardere Kaan," he declared, his voice resonating with an authority that seemed to echo through the very bones of this realm, "claim you, Ash Morin, as mine." His words were deliberate, each syllable imbued with a possessiveness that left no room for negotiation. "Your every action," he continued, his gaze piercing and unwavering, "will be executed for my benefit alone. Your every thought will be consumed by the singular purpose of how you might best serve me, and every breath you draw will exist solely by my will-given when I deem it fit, and taken when it pleases me." As he spoke, the weight of his proclamation could be felt in the air, binding and absolute. His presence loomed large, a towering force that left no question as to the depth of his control. At that moment, I felt myself bound by delicate yet unyielding hands that held me in an iron grip. The world as I knew it shifted, realigning to the reality of my new existence under his dominion. ***WARNING: Dark and depressing content. Readers' discretion is advised. Thank you.

"A love not shown is more painful than a love rejected." SHE IS DETERMINED... The town of Wickhurst sees Ysabella Everard as a spoiled, rich young girl. What Ysa believes on the other hand is that she will someday get the man of her dreams and that is no other than the elusive rake William Hayward, the Lord of Wakefield. He also happens to be her brother's friend and the man she had been secretly writing letters to for years as Lady Weis, letters that started in a foolish wager with a friend. But one problem is at hand: he does not know she is Lady Weis, the woman he has fallen in love with, in letters. HE AVOIDS HER AT ALL COST... Wakefield has many rules, but one stands out the most: never dally with a friend's sister or relative, most particularly Ysabella Everard. As the sister of his friend, she is not to be touched at all costs. She has never been on his list from day one and he is quite determined to keep it that way. But years of her obsessive chasing and his desperate attempts to avoid it have not tired the woman at all. She has suitors she ought to focus her attention on and Wakefield cannot understand what she sees in him to waste her precious time over. He cannot be with her for many reasons and one of them was the fact that he was utterly in love, for the first time in his life, with one woman: Lady Weis. THE CHASE BEGINS... Her chase for the man she loves continues. His chase for the identity of the woman he is willing to sacrifice everything for begins. It is merely a matter of time for the truth to be revealed and how they face it has great potential for yet another Wickhurst scandal. Still set in the fictional place of the Town, this fourth book in the Everard Family series follows one heroine who is determined to win her game and her love for the man who might very well be her first ever failure. (This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.)

It is as though Ilwien seeks out trouble with the hope that, among it, she might find adventure, too. But one day, it is a dwarf they call Thorin Oakenshield she finds instead. And perhaps that will be the worst trouble of all... After losing her people in a brutal attack centuries ago, Ilwien does not hesitate to join a company of dwarves on a journey through which she might reclaim her homelands. She soon learns, however, that the leader of the company, a dwarf they call Thorin Oakenshield, seems set on hating her merely for the nature of her being. The question arises of who might manage to detest the other more, but then everything is turned upside down when Ilwien saves the dwarven king's life... How I Leave You is the book I have always wanted to read, but after years of being unable to find anything resembling it, I decided to create it myself. We have all read a good Thorin fic before. So I wanted to write a great one. 23/11/2021: #1 in thorinoakenshield 05/01/2022: #2 in thehobbit
