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?

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.

Where the moon meets the water by storysbyamc

In the quiet village of Lyrindale, nestled beyond the towering Crimson Peaks, Celest Everhart has lived a simple life. Raised by her father, a healer with a past shrouded in secrecy, she spends her days tending to the sick and reading tales of gods and magic-stories that once shaped the kingdom but are now long forgotten. But far beyond the mountains, the Evergloom Forest is spreading. Its shadows stretch further each year, swallowing villages, whispering in the minds of those who wander too close. No one knows why. No one dares to ask. Until the knights come. When a group of royal soldiers arrives in Lyrindale, led by the formidable Daelan Sylva, Celest's world begins to unravel. A single night of bloodshed forces her to flee for her life, throwing her into the heart of a conflict she never sought. As dark forces stir and long-buried secrets resurface, she must confront a truth hidden in time-one that could change the fate of the kingdom itself. Haunted by his past and bound by duty, Daelan has spent years silencing threats before they can take root. But Celest is different. She is not a warrior, not a traitor, not a sorcerer-and yet, he cannot let her go. As they are drawn deeper into a web of secrets, where kings wage silent wars and long-dead sorcerers whisper from the dark, one thing becomes clear- Some stories are meant to be forgotten. Some secrets should have stayed buried. And some fates-no matter how hard you fight-cannot be escaped.

A Heart Untamed by kaycat_writes

Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.
