castle dark fantasy harship princess

Lira has lived her entire life as an outcast in the palace, under the cruel thumb of her stepmother, Queen Isolde, who rules the kingdom with an iron fist. Raised as an orphaned noble, Lira was told that her parents were mere servants who died when she was young. She has been repeatedly told that she has no power or potential. Her stepmother constantly belittles her, while her stepsister, Anya, delights in tormenting her at every opportunity.

What Lira doesn't know is that she's the true heir to the throne-her real parents were the beloved king and queen, murdered by Isolde, their treacherous servant, who has claimed the crown for herself. To ensure Lira never threatens her reign, Isolde has kept her true identity hidden and has suppressed Lira's latent magical abilities, which would make her an unstoppable force.

As Lira grows older, strange things begin to happen around her-faint whispers in the wind, flickering lights, and moments where time seems to stop. When a mysterious stranger arrives in the kingdom with knowledge of her past, Lira's world begins to unravel. Slowly, she starts to uncover the truth about her heritage, her powers, and the dark secret that could change the fate of the kingdom.

But as she inches closer to discovering the truth, Isolde tightens her grip on the throne, sending her loyal followers to silence Lira forever. With her magic awakening and enemies closing in, Lira must decide whether to fight for her rightful place as queen-or let the darkness consume her before she ever has a chance to reclaim the crown.All Rights Reserved

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.

Crysen hails from a powerful and noble lineage of light fairies and is expected to uphold his mother's legacy. However, he has yet to awaken his power and continues to wait for his time to come. When it finally does, there is no escape from destiny and he must learn to use his power or watch as the entire realm is destroyed. With the help of his newly discovered friends, he must overcome the threat to the realm and learn to use his powers. At least, he is not alone but will having them there help or hinder him? 2021 Note: This is the original version of the story which is now being rewritten into a novel worthy of Crysen. I have long debated on what to do about this book and have finally decided to start over and create something even better, for Crysen and for myself. However, I will not take this down because I see it as a vital piece of my history, as well as Crysen's. Thank you.

feelings in the dark by ogclark20

In the kingdom of Volturn, where alliances are forged through bloodlines and ambition, Prince Cid Volturn-the Cold Prince-has always stood apart. Born of the third queen and hardened by loss, Cid rejects the court's demands for a political marriage, refusing to chain his fate to hollow vows. To him, love is a weakness, and duty is a cage. But fate often defies even the coldest heart. During an unremarkable ride through the lower city, Cid's gaze falls upon a slave girl on the auction block. Lyra-pale as moonlight, with silver hair matted by dust and eyes like fractured starlight. Fierce, defiant, and drowning in sorrow. Without a second thought, Cid outbids the crowd, paying an outrageous price for a girl whose worth only he seems to recognize. Back at the palace, Lyra expects cruelty or indifference, but instead finds freedom in the most unlikely place: the heart of a prince who claims he seeks no love, only loyalty. When the king demands Cid marry for political gain, Cid makes an even bolder move-offering Lyra not servitude, but marriage. "You are the only soul in this court untouched by ambition," Cid tells her. "If I must marry, let it be to someone who understands the cost of chains." Bound by defiance and trust, they challenge the court's expectations and the shadows that seek to tear them apart. Yet, as Lyra's past resurfaces and Cid's enemies close in, they must decide if love, fragile and unspoken, is enough to withstand a kingdom built on ice and betrayal. For in the coldest heart, even the smallest flame can spark a revolution.

Cursed Prince: the light in the shadows by rebecca818943

The cursed Crown In a kingdom torn between eternal darkness and radiant light, King Corwin, once a noble ruler, is cursed to remain in shadow, a dark prince bound by a malevolent spell that saps him of warmth and hope. The curse can only be broken by a single heart, the one pure enough to banish the darkness and return him to the light. But this curse is a twisted game of fate, and Corwin's salvation rests on a competition of love, power, and destiny. Enter Lira, a spirited young woman from a forgotten village, whose light has been hidden for years under the shadows that plague her world. She is the chosen one, the only person whose heart can break the curse-and the only one who can see through the king's darkness. To do so, she must enter a dangerous, high-stakes contest, where suitors from across the land compete for the king's affection. Only the one who wins his heart will hold the power to lift the curse. But the path to Corwin's heart is fraught with challenges. Alongside other competitors-each with their own powers, motives, and secrets-Lira must prove her worth, navigating treacherous alliances, betrayals, and temptations. In a world where light and shadow are at war, and love can either heal or destroy, Lira must fight not only for Corwin's heart but also for her own survival. The stakes are higher than ever: If Lira fails to win the king's love, the darkness will consume them both, leaving the kingdom to wither in eternal night. As the competition grows fiercer and the lines between light and dark blur, Lira must face her deepest fears and discover the true nature of love, sacrifice, and the strength it takes to break a curse that has held the kingdom captive for generations. Will Lira's light be strong enough to pierce the darkness and heal the cursed king, or will the shadows claim them both? Only one thing is certain-there can be no light without darkness, and no redemption without love.

Little Light by jawaymire

In the fae realms, power is everything. It determines who you are, how high you rise, and how far you fall. For centuries, the Light Fae have ruled the Crescent Kingdom, their golden Queen standing as a beacon of strength and unity. Born with the promise of power that never came, Ciara has spent her life surrounded by whispers. Whispers that she's unworthy, that she's a fraud. For decades, her council has kept her from asking questions, masking their control as protection while stifling her every attempt to lead. Her crown may gleam, but it's nothing more than a cage. When a shadow creeps across the border of her realm, threatening her people with war, Ciara knows she must act. But an alliance with the Dark Fae-creatures of shadow and chaos-is unthinkable to her council. To them, the Dark Fae are the enemy. To Ciara, they may be her salvation. Caught between two realms, Ciara finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Dark Fae and their cunning and unpredictable ways. They offer her freedom, power, and a chance to reclaim her destiny. But in a world of shifting loyalties and dangerous bargains, nothing comes without a price. As secrets unravel and tensions mount, Ciara must navigate a treacherous path where every choice could mean betrayal. Her council has made their position clear: they will do anything to keep her under their control, even if it means stripping her of her title.

She was abandoned by her mother on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns and was later thrown out of there too due to her unruly and 'unladylike' behaviour. She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons. She's had a tough life, but it's made her into the strong, independent and fiery woman she is today. Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester.

They set off on a journey to become some of the most powerful witch and wizard to ever live, in order to defeat a great evil.

Elyra: Legend Reborn by AoNoNgao

There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.
