Korani never expected to learn of her mother's death, nor the haunting legacy she left behind. But the truth comes crashing down harder than any battle, and it's only the beginning of her nightmare. With her mother gone and no one to guide her, Korani is forced to take on the family name-the same name her mother fled from when she was pregnant with Korani, a name tangled in shadows and betrayal.

The weight of this inheritance pulls her to Velspire Academy, a place of power and prestige, but it is no safe haven. Her grandmother's relentless demands push her into an arranged marriage to Eryx Virieth, the crown heir to the throne of Tonokia-a union that could cement her place in history, or shatter everything she holds dear. But there's something far darker at play within the academy's hallowed walls.

One by one, students are turning up dead, their bodies left in disturbing displays, and the whispers around campus speak of curses, forbidden pacts, and secrets buried deep in the academy's foundation. No one is safe, not even the heirs of the most powerful families. As Korani digs deeper into the history of Velspire, she begins to unravel unsettling truths-truths that seem to tie her own existence to the very bloodshed she's witnessing.

The more she uncovers, the more she realizes there's something monstrous lurking beneath the surface of this deadly game. Someone-or something-wants her silenced, and it will stop at nothing to keep its secrets hidden. But the deeper she plunges into the mystery, the more she risks losing herself, and everyone she cares about, to the same darkness that claimed her mother.

With a kingdom's fate hanging in the balance, Korani must navigate treacherous alliances, forbidden desires, and a deadly conspiracy that threatens to consume everything she loves. Will she survive the tangled web of lies, or will she become the next victim in a war far older than she could ever imagine?All Rights Reserved

A Fate Forged in Legends and Bones by wvgirl123

Evangeline Blake believes in facts, not fairy tales. As a history student in the modern world, she stumbles upon an obscure book detailing the legend of the Velcorian Empire and its infamous warlord, Kastiel Drovac. The myth interests her, but that's all it ever is-a story. Until she finds an antique necklace that won't come off and wakes up in the very empire she read about. Kastiel, the man whose name filled the book's pages, is real-and far more terrifying in person. Scarred by war and betrayal, he has no patience for a woman who shouldn't exist in his world. Evangeline is just as desperate to escape him as he is to be rid of her. But when the necklace awakens a power long thought lost-the ability to control life and death-Kastiel realizes he can't let her go. Hatred simmers between them. He is violent, unyielding, and sees her as a burden. She fears him, refuses to trust him, and clings to the hope of returning home. But war forces strange alliances, and when betrayal from Kastiel's inner circle delivers Evangeline into the hands of the emperor, both of them must confront an unsettling truth-they may be each other's only salvation. The emperor offers Evangeline a choice: fight for him against the rebellion or be forced into marriage, ensuring his heirs inherit her power. Desperate to escape, she uncovers a secret that ties her fate to Kastiel's more than either of them realized-his mother, a woman who once wore the same necklace, may have walked between their worlds before her. As the upcoming war reaches its breaking point, Kastiel and Evangeline must face an impossible choice-fight for a love that was never meant to last or let history take its course. But some stories refuse to fade, and as legends are rewritten, Evangeline will come to learn that myths are not just born from the past-they are shaped by those who live them.

Blood and Ashes by urlove_mar

In a world where darkness reigns and monsters rule, humanity's survival depends on those with power. A decade ago, the Earth fell to horrific creatures-beasts that tore apart cities and destroyed what remained of civilization. In the aftermath, society fractured into four groups, each shaped by its beliefs and the supernatural abilities that arose in response to the terror. Angels heal the wounded but at the cost of their vitality. Demons wage war on the monsters, fueled by their thirst for human blood. Rare and feared devils wield blood magic that allows them to control the essence of life itself, but they must feast on monster blood to regain their strength. And then there are the God-powered-a mysterious few who possess elemental abilities that could hold the key to ending the chaos but are believed to be little more than a myth. Emery, a quiet college student, lives in the shadows of this broken world. Though she possesses the powers of a Devil, she keeps her identity hidden, unwilling to draw attention. Her days are spent in isolation, away from the chaos, with only her books and a few trusted friends to keep her company. But when whispers of a possible God-powered emerge, Emery is thrust into a deadly race. If she can find them, the union of the Devil and God could be the world's only chance at survival. But trust is scarce, and betrayal lurks in every corner. Demons are unpredictable, Angels are slowly losing their strength, and the Devils grow increasingly detached from humanity, fueled by the monster blood they consume. As the hunt for the last hope intensifies, Emery must navigate a world of shifting allegiances, hidden agendas, and monsters that are not always what they seem. In this dystopian future, where fear and power rule, Emery will have to decide if saving the world is worth the cost of her humanity.

The Elementals - The Ice Princess by bvadovic

When Eira was seven, she was involved in a car crash that left her mother dead and her with no memories of the incident. Therefore, it's impossible for her to realize that she has been chosen to succeed her mother as the last 'Ice Elemental', one of six guardians with the power to control specific elements that keeps everything from teetering into chaos. Nine years later, now a student in high school in Snowspell Wisconsin, her dad has secretly trained her to blend in and be 'invisible' amongst her peers. That becomes much more difficult for her when she unwittingly begins to develop special abilities in front of everyone in her high school cafeteria, including Alexander, a mysterious new student with a strange tattoo on his ear, a hidden ability to teleport, and a keen interest in the necklace given to her by her mom right before she died. Eira learns that she is being protected from anyone or anything that may do her harm and it's not long before an evil entity with an army of dark souls, (including her mother's) knows exactly who and where she is. With the dark entity's army, the "Achlys" unrelenting in their search and closing in, Eira and Alexander escape into seclusion. Confused, unprepared and hunted by an army of darkness that would just as soon as kill her as capture her, Eira must quickly mature and develop into the Elemental power she was destined to become or she and those she loves may face the same fate that her mother did years ago.

Ruthless by dyysfunctional_bitxh

Ruthless. Her mother's eyes pleaded silently with hers, the brown pools blurring with anger and sadness, ❝They call you ruthless, Akira, you understand right? You need to stop this madness. Right this second-❞ She cut her mother off, turning the emerald ring that sat on her middle finger. A venomous laugh left the threshold of her rose tinted lips, ❝Every great story begins with a little madness, mother. And my story has just begun.❞ ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ ✾ Maharani Akira Singh - the one who was as invincible as the Goddesses that lounged above. Just as untouchable, just as drunk on power and just as oblivious to the darkness of the world that bubbled underneath her own two feet. Akira was the embodiment of the one in control - whether it was of herself or of the world she so elegantly ruled. But when you're a mortal pretending to be a God, nothing lasts. Your world will crumble and you will crumble with it - disintegrating into bits and pieces. You will be pushed off the throne you had been worshipped at and while Akira might be prideful, even knew it. She knew that one day her fall would come - taking down her reign and leaving her to rule the ruins. But what she didn't know was that it would come in the form of a man. A suitor, a foreigner, a quick-witted prince: Yuvraj Kartik chauhan. Life is never simple when you're royalty, especially when there are people ready to slice your throat at every turn, every downfall and every place where darkness falls. So what will you do? Will you build up a wall high enough to ward everyone off, succumbing to your own loneliness? Or will you trust the one person you weren't supposed to? ✾ ------------ [Trigger warning - Mentions of blood, gore and war.] [Word count: 40k - 50k] © dyysfunctional_bitxh [2021]

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion.

Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward.

Dragon Blood by mwendlandt

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future.
