Lyra never imagined her ordinary life would come to a crashing halt until she was reborn into a world of power, manipulation, and royal intrigue. Now inhabiting the body of Celestine Avelore, the notorious villainess in a world where every decision could mean life or death, Lyra is determined not to be a pawn in her own story.

Celestine Avelore is known for her beauty, cunning, and ruthless pursuit of power. Engaged to the charming Prince Darius, Celestine's future should be secure except for one thing. The arrival of a seductive concubine threatens to turn everything upside down. But Celestine won't be a mere spectator in her own life. With a second chance, she decides to seize control, using her beauty, charm, and manipulation to bend the world to her will.

However, an unexpected encounter with the enigmatic Archduke Kaelren, a man who seems to know more about her than she expects, forces Celestine to question everything. As she unravels the secrets of this new world, she finds herself caught between power, romance, and betrayal.

In this world full of intrigue, manipulation, and passion, can Celestine rewrite her fate before it's too late? Or will the past she's trying to escape catch up to her in ways she never expected?

‟Tonight shall be the first and last night that we spend together, Gianita, for I do not intend to produce heirs by this marriage. The Prince would still be my heir, even though you're the Empress.‟ ‟Then why keep me, Sire, if I am of no use to you? It's obvious that you do not intend to add any more members to the imperial family besides yourself and the Prince, so why marry me?‟ *** Gianita, a princess from an eastern country is sent to marry the widowed Emperor of Angletonia, a vast and prosperous empire in the western hemisphere.

My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.

Song of Darkness by csutcliffebooks

A magical girl bumps into an alluring guy on a night out during a festival, but he goes missing the next day. She is then sent on a dangerous mission to retrieve a magical artefact. But all is not as it seems, especially when things go wrong. Kora is just a regular fairy waitressing in the musical city of Lyria. Every year, the city holds its summer festival to celebrate the change from spring to summer. And every year, Kora spends the night partying with her best friend. When she meets a charming, enigmatic man at this year's festival, she can't resist making a seemingly-innocent deal with him. But then he disappears. While trying to find a way to see him again, Kora is given a business proposal by her best friend. Kora must sneak into the one place where evil is allowed to roam free, and retrieve a dangerous magical artefact. Pushed out of her depth, she has to be quick to learn the ropes of the role she's been given. But when the plan goes wrong, will Kora fight her way home, or will her heart succumb to the darkness? This story is loosely inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone. Danger, magic and allure can be found within.

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Enchantment of the Bow by TheBeautyintheBeast

Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-
