Before she was the hunted, she was the heir.

Aria was born with a crown on her head and a cage around her ribs.

As the daughter of the Serpent House, her life was a blueprint of bloodlines and duty: Secure Nexus mates from within the House. Awaken the Gift buried in her bones. Preserve the legacy at any cost.

But Aria was never made to follow.
And fate doesn't care for tradition.

Her heart already belonged to the one man she was forbidden to love - her brother's best friend.
And when her Gift finally stirred, it wasn't the weapon her family had waited for.
It was quiet. Unexpected. A power they barely acknowledged - and one she was never meant to wield.

Torn between the life she was born into and the power awakening inside her, Aria makes a single, irreversible choice.
One that fractures her family, shatters her destiny, and lights a fuse beneath everything she thought she understood.

Rebellion is no longer a rumor.
Enemies wear familiar faces.
And the most dangerous secrets are the ones written in her own blood.

This is not a love story.
It's the story of what love ruins - and what rises from the wreckage.

Was this fate, or just a cruel trick of her grieving heart? ============= When Ariana opened her eyes in a hospital bed, the world she had known for the past thirty years had vanished. There was no elegant hanfu, bustling marketplace, or warm smiles from her children and grandchildren.

Is he the reincarnation of the man she loved beyond the boundaries of time, or is her grief distorting reality, causing her to chase the shadows of a dream?

Hunted By The Barbaric Vampire King ✅ by S0NDREENJ

Book 3 (The Awakening Series) I live my life to the fullest. Killing every vampire who's unfortunate enough to cross my path, yup I kick ass. I'm such a badass. My people tend to say that I'm full of myself and big-headed. Bingo, they are correct. My gang doesn't seem to mind though and that's why they are my gang. I love those bitches! Fuck fake friends by the way. That's exactly why I was down with tagging along with the gang when we received word that my half-brother managed to escape the demons and wanted to team up with a pack of dogs to defeat North America Demon King. Besides the fact, that I had absolutely nothing else better to do but fuck with the demons, hunt them down, pull out their hearts, and set their remains on fire. I'm a hunter. The baddest huntress you will ever encounter. That's what I was created to do. Hunt. But then it all went sour. Unfortunately for me, fate decided to be a huge bitch and to once again turn me the hunter into the hunted. The bitch totally screwed me! I had it all control into that bitch came along. Yup, fate! She shoved a huge fuck you, up my sex! But it's okay, because she also screwed the demon who's hunting me. The Barbaric Vampire Kings is coming for me. Once again, he won't rest into I'm dead. Yeah, yeah! I heard it all before. The Barbaric fool just wants to silence me and honestly, I can't blame him. I would too if I was him to be quite frankly. He wants to stop me from telling the world that I'm his beloved. Yup, the Hunter hating Vampire has been matched with a Hunter, one of the last remanding hunters of the bloodline that he hates. Ha! Ha! Ha! See? Fate said fuck him too! How sick can fate be? Anywho, I'm ready for him. We are all ready for him and of course, my gang is down to ride. One fight we all fight that's our motto and if my lovely inamorato continues down this path. He will get what he wants. He will die. Trust me. I'm Beretta Banks, baby, and I will never go out without a big bang!

Wings of Fire: The Final Night (Book 5) by GetYourHeckChecked

COVER ART IS BY ME Dragon aging is different in this series- ages up to 8 are dragonet, 9 to 12 is teenager, 12 to 20 is young adult, 20+ is adult. This excuses any questions about aging. One could say that Jasmine has had a lot of character development. One worth writing a story about. It the perfect origin story for a powerful and memorable heroine, which was Jasmine's dream since she was tiny. Both her parents were dead, the world had been brought to its knees (again), and her friends were starting to give up on saving the world. Jasmine feels hopeless that she'll ever have a future worth living. Especially when Aconi rose up to her godly status, forcing those oppose her into exile and serfdom. But when she meets a dragonet who shows her faith and strength that there is possibility, Jasmine started to believe that maybe she can actually survive this. Maybe with enough dragons that really believe in a better future for all, they can finally overthrow the tyrannous queen that has Pyrrhia under her talons. But when things go wrong in the worst way possible, leaving her dangling by a thread, Jasmine must finally decide what she is destined to do: be the hero and risk it everyone she loves, or make a deal she will never forgive herself for? Join Jasmine on the final installment of the Last Day Series, where she will walk paths that hadn't been walked in millennia, dragons and ancestors that will guide her talons to victory, wherever they may go. Jasmine will face Aconi, and she will meet her destiny, whether she lives to see the next day or not.

Red Moon Princess by lunerloverrrrr

In a world where every royalty child is born with magical powers, depending on its kingdom, unexpected thing occur as a powerless princess is born in the ruling dynasty. The Sirius Bloodline of the moonlands or as one would like to call it 'Lunalurse'. Time passes and Maria soon turns seven and still doesn't awaken her gift. The King and his Queen find it odd as a royalty child mostly awakens their gift between the ages of 4 and 6. So they strive to seek answers, some deep inside the lunar palace, and some across the realms making long-life friends throughout the way. Would the powerless princess awaken her gift? And if she does what would it mean for her, the realms and everyone else? And what if her long-awaited gift is something no one has seen coming, not even her? And what if this power of hers releases unknown and unwanted guests some the world would have been a better place without and what if she's all to blame? And what if whilst performing her duty of protecting the realms, she becomes aware of the feelings her best friend Ashton harbors for her, knowing her cousin has taken a liking to him for years? Rowan realizes he has fallen in love with her cousin, as well as Zephyr who has fallen for Maria. She finds herself in a turmoil of longing and raw emotions where she has to choose between love or performing her duty. Read it all as it takes place right before your eyes. It's never too late to hop onto the track of fantasies "I might be the princess of the moon, but I can also be the bringer of your doom." ----- All the characters, kingdoms, names, and places are my ideas. Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental. The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting. Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.

BeastKeeper by mckennagrace22

In a kingdom shaped by gods and ruled by elemental power, one girl was never meant to survive. Ten years ago, a shadow creature slipped through a weakened Veil and slaughtered Aria's family-wiping out an entire Beastkeeper bloodline. Or so the kingdom believes. Aria was found unconscious on the riverbank, with no memory of who she was or where she came from. With only basic magic and a nightmare she can't shake, she's spent years preparing for a future that never quite felt like hers. But grief has a way of breaking things open. As the Sorting Ceremony looms, the pressure to prove herself builds-until her control finally shatters. What follows is a flooded hall, a glowing mark burned into her back, and a truth no one is prepared to face. Because the mark belongs to a Beastkeeper. And those were only stories. Now summoned to a hidden fortress that was never supposed to exist, Aria must confront a legacy buried in myth, a power she doesn't understand, and a bond that should have been impossible. Because the Veil is thinning again. And this time, the shadows aren't waiting at the edge.

1.1 | Edge Of Divinity ✔ by PhantomBlacke

She spent her entire life in servitude, raised to believe she was just ordinary - an insignificant speck in a world she's always been sheltered from. But one fated encounter is about to change her mundane existence forever, and she's all too willing to answer the call of her destiny. --------------------------------------------- Abandoned as an infant, Sahera has spent all her days at the beck and call of Mother Lucine, the matron of the convent she was raised in. Suffering exclusion and abuse from both her maternal figure and her sisters, she copes with the belief that this is the debt she owes. Keeping her head down makes her day to day more bearable, and as long as she has food and shelter, she shouldn't want for more. Still, she can't help but feel she doesn't belong in the slightest. It isn't until she meets the mysterious yet generous Roman that she begins to question if there's more to this miserable existence of hers. The last thing she expects is to be completely uprooted from her world and thrust into the treacherous yet beautiful reality he lives in. The mission he's on, accompanied by his four beautiful and intimidating guardians, seems like something beyond her wildest dreams. It certainly feels like fantasy when he reveals the role she supposedly plays in his life. Sahera eagerly rises to the challenge, but with ferocious foes she's never seen the likes of at every turn, crushing secrets ready to unfold, and her enigmatic past waiting to be revealed just on the horizon, will she be able to withstand all the trials and tribulations?
