At long last she has the parents she's always longed for, as well as her first taste of real romance and love. But try as she might her life has never been normal.

A friend, once thought imaginary, has made a very sudden, very real re-appearance, bringing to life secrets and dangers from a past and a world Evelyn never knew existed. A world that wants nothing more than to tear everything she loves apart. Will Evelyn be able to hold onto the life she's always wanted and protect those she loves, or will the unknown darkness from her hidden past claim her for its own.

CountryCore Series: Her Lady of the Lake (WLW) by Sora-The-Runaway

From birth, Trinity saw the world differently than her peers. Not that she knew much of her peers in her childhood as she was home-schooled. However, that's all in the past. She has her own business, works hard and all-in-all, she's happy. For the most part, that is. As long as she still has her seclusion for which she has worked hard and values above all else, then she will be fine. If people would just stay away... Leah has been blind her entire life but never let it hold her back as she embraced it with open arms. She hasn't ever known any differently and life is great. Or at least, it could be with these new changes. Moving to a new town, Leah is excited to begin a new life, but her family isn't exactly shy about their protectiveness of her. If only she could be somewhere, anywhere where people would treat her just as they would anyone else. As their paths cross, Leah and Trinity's lives are forever changed, some changes for the better and others still up for debate. People can sometimes surprise us in the most exhilarating of ways, however, and they are just about to find out exactly why.

Behind its glittering walls stands Princess Vivienne - radiant, untouchable, and far too clever. Every glance is dangerous. Every word drips with double meaning. And every stolen moment threatens to unravel the deception Valeria was sworn to protect. When duty demands she marry another, will Valeria sacrifice her heart for her kingdom... or risk everything for the one woman she was never meant to love?

The Blade and The Braid by v3nu5p14n3t0f10v3

Princess Evelyn was born with hair like woven sunlight and a voice the crown never let her use. When she dares to speak the truth about the horrors behind palace walls, her father-the beloved and monstrous king-banishes her, erases her portrait, and sends her into the wild to die. Alone in a forest of dragons and silence, Evelyn begins her unraveling. But when fire scorches her to ash, a mysterious mage steps from the smoke. Ren, a fugitive with scars of his own, saves her life-and slowly begins to teach her what it means to survive, and be seen. But the crown is not finished hunting her. And neither the braid she clings to, nor the silence she's kept, will be enough to protect her now. As war edges closer and identities shift, Evelyn must decide who she is without her title... and what it means to rebuild a life from the wreckage of one she never chose.
