For twenty-year-old Arina Alderon, power means everything. She is a Princess of Tameron, but only in title. As a third-born daughter, she has no claim to the throne or army like her brothers-instead, Arina learned to navigate her life of isolation in the Iron Palace with only her own wits and will-power. As one of the nine royal Houses, her bloodline belongs to the highest rank of magically gifted demi-gods: the High Avari. But unlike the rest of her family, Arina was born without magic-condemning her to a life of misery at the bottom of the food chain. 

With the arrival of eligible princesses from across the Nine Realms to court her brother Tiberius, Arina is surrounded by even more formidable people, reminding her of her insignificance. Worse still, her mother demands that Arina marry one of the equally rich and insufferable suitors in Tameron's Court-leaving her more desperate than ever to find freedom. When fate intervenes and she meets Ren, the mortal guard now sworn to protect her, he offers her the chance to train her body and hone her mind to become more than just a powerless princess.

The Dragon's Call by _casuallycruel13
10 parts Ongoing
In Saileora, power hums beneath the soil, ancient and untamed. Seeker Wrain, princess and heir to a throne that feels more like a cage, has always sensed it, both around and inside her. But the whispers of that hidden force - the stirring of magic, the heartbeat of the land - have never explicitly belonged to her. Until now. When an impossible void tears through the quiet countryside, leaving her kingdom's fields in ruins and the skies heavy with shadows, Seeker is thrust into a world of secrets she never asked to inherit. The dragons - the ancient gods of her people - are no longer the benevolent protectors of legend. One of them, Ascklees, has risen from his grave, burning with a hatred that could ignite all of Saileora. The land calls for heroes, but Seeker has never been one. Not the fierce warrior like her childhood friend Calix Clearbow, who walks in the light with unwavering bravery, nor the brilliant Dr. Rockbrow who seems to bend the world to her will. No, Seeker is something else entirely. A quiet storm, an unread book filled with power she does not yet understand. But there are others like her. Other Omnicircies - rare wielders of all the Subcirces, whose power has the potential to shape the fate of kingdoms. And they are waiting, hidden among the peaks of Vidya, the shores of Blissia and Brashar, and the deserts of Sadya. Only together can they confront the gathering storm, but first, they must be found. In The Dragon's Call, nothing is as it seems. Every smile hides a secret, every whisper holds a danger. Power calls to those who dare to listen, but power demands a price - one that not everyone will survive. Are you ready to heed the call?

In a realm where shadows flickered like candle flames and magic hung heavy in the air, an ancient prophecy stirred. Arin, the daughter of a grand duke demon, felt the stirrings of her fate clawing at her soul. Behind the gilded walls of her father's palace, where darkness reigned and fear festered, she had learned the weight of her lineage-and the cost of her father's tyranny. With a heart steeled by the promise of power, Arin fled into the unknown, leaving behind the chains of her past. The world beyond was a tapestry of secrets and danger, woven with the threads of forgotten relics that held the key to her salvation. Yet she was not the only seeker of strength. A shadowy figure appeared in her path, a young man with secrets lurking beneath the surface and a gaze that flickered with both mischief and depth. Together, they plunged into enchanted forests and traversed treacherous mountains, the air crackling with tension and unspoken desires. As they journeyed, whispers of ancient magic surrounded them, and the air shimmered with hidden truths. Each step drew them closer not just to the power they sought, but to an undeniable connection that threatened to unravel the very fabric of their purpose. But in a world ruled by ambition and betrayal, trust was a dangerous game. What if the darkness they sought to vanquish was closer than they imagined? And as they reached for the relics that promised to change their fates, would they find strength in each other-or would their quest expose a truth that could tear them apart forever?
