Unfortunately, the boy she loves senses something different about her and can't accept her. Should she follow her vampire cousin's lead-walk away from everything she's knows and loves-and fake her own death?

Either way, her life as she knows it, will never be the same.

The Palace of Lost Memories by CjArcher

The king's magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders, no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate, and only one servant has ever left. The haunted look in her eyes as she was recaptured by the palace guards is something Josie, daughter of the village doctor, has never forgotten. For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself. Whispers of magic fuel Josie's desire to uncover the truth, but an ordinary girl like her can only dream of ever being invited inside. When the king decides to take a wife from among the eligible daughters of the noble families, the palace gates are finally thrown open and the kingdom's elite pour in. In a court where old rivalries and new jealousies collide, the king's favorite is poisoned and the doctor is summoned. As her father's assistant, Josie finally sees inside the lavish walls, but she soon learns the palace won't surrender its secrets easily, for not a single resident, from the lowest servant to the king himself, has a memory from before the palace existed. In the search for the truth, Josie is drawn deeper into danger, and the answers she seeks might shake the very foundations of the kingdom.

The Fall of the Cursed (Completed) by hannahnapady

*Completed September 2019* Formerly The Faet Within ⚠️MATURE CONTENT⚠️ Isobel is the Princess of the Eastern Fae Kingdom, known to humans as England and Scotland. She would much rather spend her time in her garden back at the castle, but instead she's at the reception for a human royal wedding. Hopefully she could drink her night away, flirt with some humans and get back to her garden before it was too late. Austin wants nothing to do with this so-called "royal wedding" and the humans he would have to interact with. As Prince of the Western Fae Kingdom or Ireland and Wales to the humans, he had better things to do than to waste it at a party, stuck with doddering old grandmothers doting on the bride or wistfully remembering their younger days. It made him want to jab an ice pick in his ear. When Isobel and Austin are pushed together, they make a deal that will change their lives forever. Will they overcome the obstacles fate seems to keep throwing at them? Or will it be the downfall of them all? Copyright © 2020 by Hannah Napady All Rights Reserved

The Art Of Getting Rich Again by Vissius

She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.

Caldorin by sevo7o7

A girl raised by a ghost. A prince swallowed by exile. A kingdom that kills its miracles before they can even cry. Isolde walks the blood-slick streets of Rindek, a city of silence and ruin, where fire-born fae are executed before their first breath and rebellion is just another word for treason. She's a blade in the dark-silent, swift, loyal. Or so they think. By night, she breaks the very laws she enforces, smuggling the condemned to the fabled isle of Sepulkrin-a myth wrapped in fog and storm. No one returns. No one knows if it still exists. Not even her. But secrets have teeth, and history doesn't stay buried forever. When Victor-the exiled prince with eyes of war and winter-steps out of the shadows, Isolde's carefully constructed world begins to collapse. Because he knows what she's done. Because he remembers the revolution their fathers died for. Because he's come to finish what was started. And this time, the dead are watching. In a world ruled by blood and betrayal, how long can you hide what you are before it burns you from the inside out?
