She was born to be perfect. Raised to be silent. Trained to be everything but herself.

Princess Anthea has lived in a gilded cage, adored but never seen. The palace demands obedience, her parents demand perfection, and the world only receives the poised facade she shows to them. But behind closed doors, she's crumbling-drowning in a life that's all pretence, starving for anything genuine.

Then she meets Selene-fearless, defiant, and refusing to play anyone's games. Selene doesn't see a princess; she sees a girl suffocating under expectations, a girl who was never given a voice in creating her own fate. And for the first time, Anthea begins to wonder: What if she could be more?

But freedom comes at a cost. Defying her family is jeopardizing all things-her throne, her fate, even her own life. As her meticulously designed world begins to shatter, Anthea is forced to make an unbearable choice: stay in the only existence she has ever known or leap into the void and fight for the freedom she was never meant to have.

A story of love, rebellion, and the courage to claim your own identity-even when the world tells you not to.All Rights Reserved

Over My Rainbow by LAamber14

Amantha is not ready to be anything other than a wild, tomboy princess, but when tragedy strikes this unlikely royal is called upon to rule a kingdom. Scared to grow up, she runs away from responsibility and finds a new world in an adventure to find out who she really is inside. While Amantha is no princess in distress, she has much to learn about the world of magic and mystery and along with the help of a beautiful boy with a secret past, she uncovers the fairy tale world that lives right outside of her kingdom. "When I was little, I didn't believe that there was magic. I had been taught that no elves, witches, leprechauns, unicorns, harpies, trolls or dragons had ever existed. No one could turn into anything else and everything happened for a reason. Now that I'm older, I realize that even if a tutor told me those things, you can't believe everything people say. I happen to know that magic exists because I have seen it with my own eyes. If you believe that dreams come true, they will. And fairy tales aren't only in story books."

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 Thorn on the Roses by JuliMarie24

A Queen forged in blood. A kingdom built on lies. A love doomed to the flames. Asterin Anthea was supposed to be dead. Instead, she stands in the heart of the kingdom that stole everything from her, wearing a name that isn't hers, playing a game designed to destroy her. Disguised as Princess Lorelei Blackwater, she enters the deadly Trials of Tavasz-a brutal competition where the strongest contender will win the hand of Prince Sebastian Rose and the crown of the kingdom that murdered her family. But Asterin has no intention of being a wife. She has come to reclaim what was stolen. To take back Tavasz. To bring down King Darian Rose and his bloodstained reign from the inside. With every trial, the court watches. The nobles whisper. The enemies lurking in the shadows grow restless. And then there's Cassian-her oldest friend, her fiercest protector, the boy who would burn the world down for her if she asked. But even he cannot save her from the weight of what she must do. As the trials push her to the brink, Asterin finds herself trapped in a tangled web of power and deception-one woven by Sebastian himself. The prince is not the foolish, arrogant boy she expected. He is clever. Dangerous. And worst of all, he sees her. When the final trial demands the ultimate sacrifice, Asterin must decide: Will she become the Queen they want her to be? Or the monster they never saw coming?

Hidden Princess by Queeyana254

"Ah your majesty, I guess you might be wondering why I am here to torture the hell out of you right? It is all simple, I am here for nothing but to seek revenge. Do you remember that little girl from the neighboring kingdom? The one who you 'murdered'? Yeah her, guess what? She's not dead, neither is her mother, but her father on the other hand, wasn't spared from your sword. With it slicing through his intestines and I watching it on my mother's back. "Do you know how that affects a child? Seeing their precious father being murdered right in front of her eyes. You thought that you buried us six feet underground. Well jokes on you. Those were dummies that my mother created to fool you. We buried my father in a funeral only of us two," she said wiping away a stray tear, "You know, it is always said, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ... and a life for a life." She tightened her grip on the king's throat and he groaned out loud in pain. The bones on his backbone cracked slowly under the immense force. Daryl had seen the whole thing. From what she had said, she had every right to take his father's life away, but, he didn't want her to have any blood in her hands. "Tatyana! Please don't kill my father. I know you have every reason to, but please, don't kill him." He broke the silence that had surrounded the room with his plea. Tatyana threw a glance at him and her heart ached at the sight of him like that. She had come all this way, what was left was just to snap his neck, and all would be over. Will she do it? Find out by reading Hidden Princess! Never leave the journey they will go through and know how the story ends. Remember, its not the happy ending that matters, but the tribulations one may go through in order to obtain it. Cover credits go to @omnikinetic. If you want an awesome cover, go to her cover shop.😊
