The Deathsinger: Book 1
Like many low elves in the kingdom of Edresh, Morana was orphaned as a child during the war against neighboring Araphel. But Morana is more fortunate than most, and is taken to live in the palace as a companion to a captive princess, Astreia. She and Astreia become like sisters, and Morana nurses a tension-filled friendship with the sometimes cruel, but always charming High Elf Prince Tievel. But even with the war over, all is not well in Edresh. A curse spreads through the land, raising ghouls and monsters and stealing the lives of the unborn. Yet it is ignored by the High Elf nobility, whose immortality renders such concerns beneath them. Then, the king-Tievel's grandfather-is killed by a magical Araphelian assassin known as a Reaper. When Morana encounters the Reaper as he's making his escape, he reveals a truth that Morana had long-denied: she is one of the last Deathsingers, a wielder of the very same forbidden magic that inspired the king's savage assault on Araphel. Furthermore, her ability to Sing away immortality might just be the key to stopping the horrors slowly consuming their world... But only if she is willing to condemn those like her dear Tievel, who have only ever known eternal life, to the cold permanence of death. To right the wrongs of long ago and prevent the world's unraveling, Morana must dive head first into the sort of danger she's always avoided and venture into Araphel with her friends. But the Reaper is always close behind, a constant reminder of both what Morana is and the impossible sacrifice she might be called upon to make...

A Garden of Flowers and Bones [Lloyd Garmadon x Reader]
[LEGO NINJAGO FAE & FAERIES!AU] At first it doesn't seem like much of a good thing. But in time, it feels like stepping off the path into Fair Folk-infested territory and talking to a stranded Fae (who looks at her as if she's helpless prey) was a good idea. Because she made a friend...! Well, kind of. It's a bit complicated. Listen, he may be constantly attempting to trick her into being dragged off into the woods never to be seen again, but he IS good company. CONTENT WARNINGS: - Y/N has a middle name which she uses as a fake name because of the whole Fae-stealing-your-name-thing. Lloyd's discovery of her true name is an overarching plot point. - Suggestive Themes (no explicit content) - Ableism - Religious Content/Criticism/Discussion/Guilt - Period-Typical Sexism and Themes of Internalised Misogyny - Blood and Violence (TWs at the beginning of chapters) - Child Death & Miscarriage (not happening to the MC but as a consequence of the middle ages)
