The beginning looked like darkness, and from the Darkness, the Lady Fate was born. For millenia, she ruled, creating at her whim, and taking away as she saw fit, spinning the Fates of millions. For Humankind, magic is all but a legend, invented to scare children into staying in at night, and to give people a reason to dream of a higher purpose in life. But for Fate's most loved creation, her Arcana, it is a burden, causing a constant struggle for power in the Arcane World, wild, unpredictable. 

Maeve Segret has been on the run for most of her life, having taken refuge in the Human World after fleeing from the Arcane World in a rebellion that nearly destroyed everything the Arcana worked for. Descended from the ancient Ruling House of the Arcana, she is hunted for the abilities she possesses, as well as the power they are capable of unlocking. But when a betrayal rocks the thin safety she has managed to create, Maeve finds herself thrust headfirst into the world she has been running from for so long. 

Ancient Evil lurks in the shadows of the Arcane World, looking to bring power tumbling to its knees. War threatens, magic runs wild, and no one is safe. Maeve reluctantly finds herself as one of few left capable of standing in the way of her enemies goals. And they will do anything they can to get their way.All Rights Reserved

Caldorin by sevo7o7

A tale of exile, rebellion, and the shadows that never let go. Isolde was born in the ruins of a failed revolution, raised by a father whose name was stripped from history. She walks the streets of Rindek, a land of exiles and ghosts, where the past is buried beneath whispers and bloodstained decrees. Here, fairies who dare to be born with fire in their veins are hunted before they take their first breath. And Isolde is part of the system that enforces their silence. But beneath her hood and sharpened blades, she harbors a dangerous secret-she has saved more lives than she has taken. For years, she has smuggled the hunted to safety, slipping through the cracks of a kingdom that demands their extinction. But the ghosts of the past are stirring, and the storm that swallowed Sepulkrin-the island where she sent them-hasn't lifted in two years. No one knows if the escapees are alive. No one dares to ask. And now, Victor has returned. The exiled prince, the shadow in the mist, the boy with one green eye and one blue-the boy she was never meant to trust. His presence alone is a warning, a promise that the game has changed. That the truth buried in the ashes of their fathers' rebellion is rising once more. In a world where bloodlines dictate fate and power is carved from sacrifice, Isolde must decide who she is willing to betray-her kingdom, her father, or the man who might hold the key to the war that never truly ended. The truth was stolen. The past was erased. But the dead remember. And they are watching.

$Ultraviolet {English} by Evita__M$

A new disease, the Black Plague, is ravaging the inhabitants of Valis. Children are forced to get vaccinated, but it turns out to be a lie. It's an experiment.

She crosses paths with a boy who has done something terrible to her, and it turns out she is now bound to him. The fight for Maeve's life has begun. Why? She is the key to everything. To both good and evil. [improved, newly written English version of the Dutch original- i strongly recommend reading this instead!]

Young Immortals by dreamer202217

It's said that each time you meet one of the divine, immortal fae, the gods flip a coin to decide whether you get an angel or a demon. No self-preserving mortal travels anywhere near their lands, but Isobel doesn't have a choice. Eighteen year old Isobel Pérez is a magic-bound servant of the Green Court. To survive the dangerous yet alluring fae, she makes an artform of becoming invisible. That is until the youngest and most volatile prince, Silas, stumbles upon her sketchbook and discovers her secret hobby of obsessively drawing his brother. Chivalrous and kind, Silas agrees to keep Isobel's secret - for a price. Soon, small favors turn into a deadly task. An ancient curse plagues the Green Court, rotting the king by day and turning him into a bloodthirsty beast by night. Unraveling it will reveal dark secrets and create even darker ones. Like how Isobel's obsession may not be so one-sided, after all. As aversion starts to look something like attraction, a risky bond forms between the fae prince and mortal servant - a bond that was never meant to last. There's a rotten core behind the glitz and glamor of the Green Court. One full of ambition, desire, and betrayal.

Chance Bride Of The Dragon Prince by SquaryQ

In that old, untouched English forest, there is a pathway. A pathway that warps your senses. A pathway that leads to an old timey way of living. A pathway that leads to a little village, oppressed by the iron fist of whoever lives in the icy looking castle on the hill. A little civilisation hidden in the forest. A little civilisation that believe in fairytales. When you look at it, you would never know that for hundreds of years, there has been a village of people living there. You wouldn't see the signs. That's because you can't see where the world shifts. It's like you've stepped into another dimension. Maybe that is what you do. When you walk through the forest, you'll find it, you'll find the world that lurks within a heavily poluted England. You'll find the world from which you cannot escape. You'll find bliss, heaven on earth. Also known as The Willow. Cover by DestinyGirlz
