In a world torn apart by a brutal war between the Fae and humans, Lyria, a battle-hardened leader of the Fae resistance, has always known one truth: survival is earned through bloodshed. But when she crosses paths with Corin, a deserter from the human army, everything she has ever believed begins to unravel. Corin isn't like the others-he's not here to fight, but to survive, seeking something beyond the endless cycle of violence.

As the war rages on, Lyria finds herself questioning the very foundations of the battle she's led for years. When the conflict becomes more than a fight for land and power, but a fight for the souls of those caught in its wake, she must face the ghosts of her past choices. Can mercy and understanding ever prevail in a world ruled by conflict, or is it too late to change the course of fate?

With the future of her people at stake, Lyria must decide whether to continue the war or find a way to build a fragile peace. But in a land where the line between friend and foe is blurred, and the price of peace may be more than she's willing to pay, Lyria's greatest battle may not be on the battlefield, but within her own heart.

A story of survival, sacrifice, and the quest for redemption, *The Fae Queens Gamble* explores the power of choice, the cost of war, and the hope that even in the darkest of times, change is possible.All Rights Reserved

Among the Flames [COMPLETED] by LuckyNumberZero

"You thought you could threaten her? That you could hurt her, violate her the way that you did and walk away alive?" His voice was filled with raw fury, each word like a blow. "Please," the Sower gasped, his eyes darting to the ghastly charred remains of his men. "I- We didn't mean-" Thane didn't let him finish. With a surge of heat, the flames flared from his body, engulfing the man in a swirling inferno. The Sower screamed, his cries echoing through the clearing as the fire consumed him, but it didn't end his life-not yet. Thane controlled the flames, letting them torture rather than kill, a terrifying display of his power and restraint. "Didn't mean to?" Thane echoed mockingly, leaning down so his face was inches from the Sower. His eyes burned with rage, dark and unrelenting. "You meant every word, every threat, every action. And now you'll burn for it." ******************** In a world torn by war, where men and women are divided into separate kingdoms, Fern, a healer and herbalist, sets out to end the decade-long conflict. Her quest leads her toward the men's kingdom, but an unexpected encounter with an injured man changes everything. Little does she know that the man is the undefeated Ghost of the Battlefield. He was notorious and feared for slaughtering female warriors. Despite the hatred in his eyes, Fern makes the decision to heal him, forging a bond that neither expected. As their worlds collide, they must face the scars of their past. Can a single act of kindness heal old wounds, or will the weight of their history destroy them both?

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.

The Blood of the Bound (Reverse Harem) by enlypaige

Book One In Nytherra, magic isn't just power. It's identity. In a realm where elemental magic shapes society, and ancient Houses govern with unyielding power, humans are little more than shadows, weak, forgotten, and bound to servitude. Vampires, shifters, sirens, fae, and more are all bound to their House, their legacy, and their pride. Humans like Lyria don't belong. Orphaned, lowborn, and barely registering on a magical scan, her admittance into Ophidian Hall is a mystery no one can explain, least of all her. But there is something ancient in her blood, something that doesn't fit into the world's rigid four-House order. From the cold halls of House Storm, where witches and fae weave their intricate spells, to the fiery pride of House Flame's vampires, the grounded strength of Stone's werewolves, and the elusive depths of Tide's aquatic folk, Lyria wants no part in ancient rivalries. Despite this, she's forced into a perilous game of politics, magic, and legacy, where she finds herself inexplicably bound to four volatile suitors, each more dangerous and tempting than the last.

But fate doesn't care for the lines drawn by ancient treaties and bloodstained history. As forbidden love sparks between them, unrest stirs. Whispers of war echo through both realms. The fragile peace between fae and humankind is crumbling-and within the Night Court, betrayal coils like a serpent in the dark. Aldric is torn between protecting the one man who sees him for more than the impure creature his family does. And Roman must choose between duty to his people and the love that could cost him everything. With war looming on both sides, Aldric and Roman must risk their lives-and their hearts-to defy the forces determined to tear them apart. Love was never part of the plan. But neither was war.

Separated by realms, Lyra and Ethan struggle to hold onto the bond that defied destiny. In fairyland, Lyra must learn to embrace her ancient magic and fulfill her duties among the Fae - even as her thoughts drift back to the human man who taught her the meaning of love, laughter, and choice. Her secret grows heavier each day: a child conceived between light and earth, carrying the blood of both worlds. On Earth, Ethan searches for traces of the magic that once brought Lyra to him, delving into forgotten lore and dangerous myths that whisper of bridges between realms. His heart knows what reason cannot deny - that love this powerful leaves echoes, even across the stars. When Lyra's pregnancy is revealed, fairyland demands the unthinkable: choose her realm or lose everything. But Ethan will not let her stand alone.

Their child becomes the prophecy the realms feared and hoped for: the first of a new kind, a living bridge between light and flesh. And as Lyra gives up her wings for love, she discovers that true magic has never lived in power or realm - but in the human heart, where even fallen starlight can rise again.
