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.

Chains of Rebirth (Dusk Series - Book 8) by AmeliaCrossGE

Lyra Cinder is cast out from the Fort, the largest remaining training settlement for human mages outside of the Alliance. Without a killer extinct and far too much use of her conscience, she is of no use to the mages who have refused peace with their vampire neighbors. With a band of misfits and Fort rejects, Lyra sets out on a journey to find her place as well as a meaning to all of the fighting around her. It seems like a straight forward path until Lyra comes back from a supply run to find the boys have made sport of kicking around a stray vampire. Though she wishes to release him, the sharpness of his ice eyes cuts right into her soul even shackled and beaten on the ground. This stranger could just be the death of all of them, or perhaps he could be her destiny. When Lyra runs face first into the carnage caused by a notorious masked murder known only as The Fool, she is helpless to stop him from slaughtering the soldiers of the Zero rebellion. Though the Zero started as a vampire-hating group that threw society to the brink of extinction, most now are just humans run from their homes in times of war and desperate for shelter or food and willing to fight for it. The world is brittle and broken, and Lyra finds herself walking the same path as The Fool, whether it be breaking bread or chasing him down to stop his rampage. On that path, she meets allies, a man she loves even though their chances are slim, and she hopes that all of them can find a way to peace.

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.

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?

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.
