Jayza has been imprisoned in the Royal Dungeons and is tortured daily as the Emperor seeks to discover what she has. But he isn't the only one looking for it. When a Ta'njar curse is carved into her skin, escape becomes more than a matter of life and death.
Her sudden disappearance causes suspicion to fall on Tavan. In an act of petty jealousy, the Emperor strips him of everything and sentences him to life in Thagim, the most notorious prison in the Seven Lands.
Jayza must now decide if rescuing Tavan is more important than locating the only person who can lift the curse. Meanwhile, the prophecy hangs over her head, creating more questions when her conclusions put her at odds with those drawn by men who have spent their lives studying it.
Join Jayza as she starts down a path she never expected to travel and, along the way, begins to learn who she really is.All Rights Reserved

Celestial Shadows by EllaGance25

She was never meant to survive. The kingdom was drenched in blood the night the palace burned, when its heir vanished, its loyal guard betrayed, and darkness took root where light once lived. No one spoke her name again. No one believed she could return. But magic remembers what the world forgets. Now, the lost girl walks unknowingly among the ruins of her legacy. Shadows follow her. Secrets stir beneath her skin and two men are bound by choices forged in the fire of her past. What if the boy who once fled beside her now guards her from the shadows, watching with a blade in one hand and a secret in the other? What if the one sent to destroy her is the only one who truly understands her? This tale is not only about royalty lost and reclaimed, it is about memory, trust, and the fragile line between duty and desire. It is about the quiet resilience of a girl shaped by grief and the power of a choice made in the darkest hour. This is not a fairytale. This is a reckoning. In a world where loyalty is lethal and love is a weapon, Elara must choose who to trust: the boy who once bled for her... or the prince who haunts her dreams and tastes like danger. There will be blood. There will be betrayal. And there will be a queen.

Desert Siren by Mahismom

Jayza is a member of the Ta'njar tribe, considered uncouth and illiterate barbarians by the Emperor and Nobility of the Seven Lands. But Jayza is anything but uncouth or illiterate. And she has a secret the Emperor is desperate to uncover. The lone survivor of a raid by the elite cohort known as the Raptors, Jayza is taken prisoner and sent on a journey that will ultimately deliver her to the Emperor's dungeons. But the secret the Emperor seeks is not the only one Jayza has. Jayza is a Desert Siren, a woman who can sing animals to sleep. Who can divert storms with a song. And who can kill with just her voice. And if that knowledge ever reaches the Emperor's ears, her life as she knows it is it over. But Jayza has other secrets as well. And she soon discovers the Emperor is not the only one who desperately seeks what she knows. Having no choice but to share some of her secrets with Premier General Tavan Enyo, Jayza finds that everything she has been taught to believe is not always as it seems. And that she cannot choose who she loves. General Tavan Enyo is the Golden Eagle and head of the Raptors, second most powerful man in the Empire of the Seven Lands and answerable only to the Emperor himself. Believing the Ta'njar are inferior, he orders Jayza's family killed and her town razed. Shackling her in the slave wagon, he begins the long trek back to the Emperor's dungeons. But disaster after disaster befalls the Raptors journey and Tavan begins to realize that Jayza is not all she seems. Having no choice but to shackle her to his side, he begins to question his oaths, both to the Empire and to the Emperor himself. And to decide how far he will go in the name of love.

Yet the darkness has not forgotten her. As shadows rise to reclaim what they once lost, Lyra must awaken the power within her, confront the forces that hunted her, and step beyond the shadows to reclaim her destiny. Courage will be tested, loyalty betrayed, and love challenged, as one lost princess fights to save a kingdom on the brink of eternal night. Some light can be hidden... but it cannot be extinguished.

Crown of Shadows by aadrikawrts

She is elegant, strong, and carries a past no one knows-a childhood shadowed by loss, heartbreak, and sacrifices that shaped her into a woman both graceful and guarded. He is a prince, cold and untouchable to the world, carrying secrets of his own, a life dictated by duty, rules, and the crown he never chose. When their paths cross, the world outside stops making sense. She doesn't know he's royalty, and he hides behind a mask of distance, but neither can ignore the pull growing between them. In a palace of whispers, hidden agendas, and family intrigues, every glance, every touch, and every unspoken word becomes a battlefield of desire and restraint. As past wounds resurface, old secrets threaten to destroy them, and everyone around them seems to have an opinion about what love should be, can two hearts that have known pain and sacrifice find their way to each other? Or will the shadows of their pasts keep them apart forever? A story of slow-burning romance, royal intrigue, hidden identities, and love that fights its way through every obstacle.

Daughter of the Wind by MattWriting
