In the kingdom of Karnatha, nothing is as it seems. Contracts are bound by blood, intentions hold power, and the crown is both a blessing and a curse.

Seri, the forgotten princess, has spent her life on the edges of a fractured royal family. Overshadowed by her siblings and dismissed by her father, she's resigned to being invisible-until a political marriage forces her into the spotlight. Torn from the familiarity of her isolated world, Seri must navigate an uneasy alliance with a foreign prince while grappling with the weight of her own insecurities.

But as whispers of betrayal creep through the palace halls Seri's fate takes a darker turn. The wedding meant to unite kingdoms becomes the catalyst for chaos, leaving her to confront a shattering truth: the greatest war isn't fought with armies-it's waged within.

As the walls of her world crumble, Seri is thrust into a journey of survival, uncovering buried secrets, and reclaiming the legacy she never thought she wanted. But in a world where intentions carry deadly consequences, will she rise to power or be consumed by the war within?All Rights Reserved

Bound by Every Lifetime by AkiraAokum

High above the clouds, in a castle carved from storm and stone, Princess Serenya has only ever wanted freedom. Rebellious, fiery, and caged by duty, she dreams of more than a crown and a gilded prison. But when raiders attack the Skykeep during a midnight battle, she is saved by a mysterious masked warrior whose loyalty-and secrets-are as dangerous as his blade. He is everything her father warns her against: silent, ruthless, forbidden. And yet, against every rule of her kingdom, he swears a vow that unsettles her heart: "In every lifetime, I will find you." Drawn together by fate and torn apart by prophecy, Serenya and the warrior must battle enemies both outside and within the castle walls. Yet the greatest threat is not the traitor hiding in her father's court... but the truth stitched into the stars. For theirs is a love written across centuries, bound to burn as brightly as fire- and destined to end in blood.

The hidden heir:Beyond the crown by Anyashade

In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.

Ashes of the Future by Inkurian

Kael grew up believing he was nothing more than an orphan cursed with strange dreams and untamable fire. But when his bond with a forgotten lion spirit awakens, Kael discovers the truth: he is tied to the ancient leyline of Eldaria, and the Infernari Order will stop at nothing to claim that power. Together with Niko, the rogue assassin who hides brilliance behind mischief, and Saphira, the warrior bound by secrets of her own, Kael is thrust into a war against Riven, the Scarlet Widow, whose telekinetic terror threatens to shatter their world. But victory comes at a cost. Betrayal splits the bonds of trust. Blood and fire carve new scars. And as Kael's power grows beyond his control, he must decide what kind of monster he is willing to become to save those who remain. When the ashes settle, they find themselves hurled into a future unlike anything they have ever known: a world of towers and machines, where Morthain Draven, the shadow behind the chaos, waits with an empire built on lies and inevitability. Forged by fire. Tempered by loss. Hunted across time itself. Kael's story is just beginning...

Draped In Midnight by mermaid6754

A princess bound by duty. A peasant haunted by secrets. And a kingdom where love itself could spark a war. Princess Serenya of Elarion has always known her fate: to wed for alliance, not for love. Her father, the king, has promised her hand to Alaric, a nobleman whose ambitions burn brighter than his smile. To the court, she is flawless-a jewel draped in midnight silk, destined to unite the realm. But beneath the surface of gilded halls and watchful eyes, Serenya longs for freedom.

Serenya must navigate a treacherous path where loyalty is a weapon and every choice carries weight. If discovered, her love for Ashen could mean his death-and plunge her kingdom into chaos. Torn between duty and desire, crown and heart, Serenya must decide how much she is willing to risk. Will she sacrifice herself for the throne, or dare to seize a forbidden happiness that could change the fate of Elarion forever? Draped in Midnight is a sweeping tale of forbidden love, dangerous secrets, and the courage to choose one's own destiny-even when the world stands against you.

Eminence by KendraStorm

Arith is the eldest princess of the Hetrian kingdom, though she's never thought much about her status. She spends her days at the palace training grounds carousing with the knights or pestering her two younger sisters and acknowledges, distantly, that one day she will be queen. It isn't until her father uses her as a bartering chip in an alliance negotiation that she becomes all too aware of the reality of her position. Now engaged to the son of the head chieftain of Wanala, Arith finds herself forced to play the part of doting fiancée, a role she never envisioned for herself. With such differing cultures and all of their interactions occurring through the filter of an interpreter, Arith finds herself wishing for an escape. However, the decades-long war that necessitated this alliance is growing closer and closer to home, and it isn't long before Arith and her family are betrayed. With attempted coups and assassinations, she knows that for the good of her kingdom, she must see this marriage through. The only problem is that she finds herself continuously drawn to the man she considers her rival... who just so happens to be assigned as her personal guard.

Trapped by her cruel father, Princess Seraphina's life feels hopeless until a mysterious prince, Alexander, appears through a magical mirror. But when she's forced into a marriage with a powerful and dangerous mage, she and Alexander are pulled into a web of dark magic and deadly secrets. To survive, Seraphina must untangle the lies that surround her and find the strength to reclaim a destiny she never thought was hers. I'm completely open to any suggestions or feedback you may have-positive or negative. I've only just started writing, and this is actually the very first book I've ever worked on. I'm genuinely excited to grow, learn, and improve throughout this journey.

The Iron Oath by SilentKnight13345

Book Two of The Iron Vow By SilentKnight Months after uniting a broken kingdom, King Seris stands not at the dawn of peace, but on the edge of a deeper storm. As the realm rebuilds, ancient threats rise from the forgotten corners of the world-whispers of a lost empire, a secret order sworn to the Old Gods, and a prophecy that names Seris as both savior and destroyer. Haunted by the weight of the crown and the ghosts of war, Seris must navigate treacherous politics, strained alliances, and a growing fear that he may not survive the very peace he fought to win. Meanwhile, Yrena, battle-hardened and loyal, struggles with her place in a kingdom that no longer needs a warrior-and with feelings she's kept hidden far too long. Together with a new circle of unlikely allies-a cunning desert rogue, a reluctant mage hunted by his own kin, and a girl who may hold the last key to the old magics-Seris must uncover the truth behind an ancient Oath that predates his kingdom. For in the shadows, something stirs. Something bound in iron, blood, and time. And this time, it is not just a crown that is at stake... but the soul of the realm itself.
