#Book one of the Zephandrel series.

---
In a kingdom of power and privilege, two sisters live beneath the shadow of a noble house-one fair as ivory, the other dark as night. Though bound by love, their bond is not one of blood, and in the eyes of the world, their differences are impossible to ignore. The nobleman who raised them cherishes them both, but his wife will never accept a black child her own.

When the royal family invites the sisters to the king's palace, a new world opens before them-one of wealth, beauty, and secrets hidden deep within the castle walls. Yet, while one sister is content with the jewels, balls, and luxury of court life, the other finds herself drawn to the mysteries that lie beyond the gilded halls. There, she discovers hidden corners of the palace, forgotten histories, and whispers of a truth that could unravel the very fabric of the kingdom.

As the two sisters grow closer to the king's sons, one prince begins to show an interest in them-igniting a rivalry that neither of them could have foreseen. Tensions rise, loyalties are tested, and buried secrets begin to surface. But the greatest danger may not be the love that divides them-it may be the truths they both are beginning to uncover, truths that could change everything they thought they knew about their family, their kingdom, and themselves.

In a world full of magic, mystical creatures, and four different Kingdoms ruled by one king, ancient cities, hidden secrets and much more. whose to say one of the two sisters won't get to curious and stumble into something she shouldn't have.

The Marquess of Winchester by tonevastefanova

Amelia's been on the streets since she can remember. She was abandoned by her mother on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns and was later thrown out of there too due to her unruly and 'unladylike' behaviour. She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons. She's had a tough life, but it's made her into the strong, independent and fiery woman she is today. Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester. Amelia's been trying to find her mother for as long as she can remember but all she has is a name. What neither Amelia nor Ezra knew, was that that name would connect them in a way neither would've ever imagined. She finds someone so broken under that cold exterior that she can't help but want to help him. They get thrown into a world of witches, wizards and magic and evil. They set off on a journey to become some of the most powerful witch and wizard to ever live, in order to defeat a great evil. Along the way, they recruit five other individuals each experienced in a different area of magic. Who will love and who will hate? Who will even live to tell the tale? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first draft, I've edited it along the way but the more I revisit and edit the better it wil get.

Queen of Silence and Ruin by mmaesmith

High in a castle, where the walls never remember warmth, there is a room not spoken of. It sits behind velvet drapes and locked doors, tucked between the west tower and the chapel that hasn't known prayer in decades. No one goes there now. Not the maids. Not the priests. Not even the king. But once, there was a secret kept there. She was born with quiet in her bones, a child spun from porcelain and bloodline. Promised before her first breath, bartered before she could speak. They raised her in silence, trained her in fear. She learned early that disobedience was louder than screams. That beauty meant stillness. That girls who wanted anything burned. She was a perfect pupil. The governess fed her manners with a silver spoon. The priest taught her to fold her hands, never her spine. The tutor, he taught her to fear her own voice. They called her Little Dove. Not because she was sweet, but because she was caged. Wings clipped before she ever flew. She was taught to listen, never ask. To smile, never speak. To suffer, and never let it show. But secrets rot in silence. And even a dove, locked long enough in the dark, learns to bite. They never noticed when she stopped blinking. Never felt the moment the stillness turned inward sharp, feral, waiting. By the time they betrothed her to a man three times her age, it was already too late. She had begun to remember her name. And one day soon, the castle would remember her too, not as the girl they silenced, but as the woman who made the walls bleed for ever daring to forget her.

The Last Oath: The Decline and Fall by Bob12mob

What happens when narration becomes magic and monsters become stories? When meaning crumbles beneath the whispers of tales, and certainties drown in the din of words, truth wears a thousand faces at the windows of night. Survive. When the untold fades, and the unseen is lost. Endure. As kingdoms fall and life ebbs away, as souls awaken only to cage themselves within the lines of pages. Fight. For what remains is a silent longing to wake again, upon the shores of a dream unborn. ------------------------------------------------------------ A multi-character fantasy tale set in a world that has forgotten how to define itself, where eras chase one another in confusion. Knights confront the unknown, detectives battle dragons, and vampires raise dogs. The stars are wrathful, the kingdoms have fallen, and magic stands stripped bare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- For those who do not like indirect suggestion: A cruel, innovative magic system A dark fantasy that blends classic fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. Long story and slow build (although you can judge it in the second chapter) Multiple characters and a big world Exploiting (inspiration from) myths, epics and legends in worldbuilding Legends from all over the world: Europe, Africa, America, Middle East, Australia, Asia, Ireland etc. Mystery, investigation, and the need to analyze, focus, and use your knowledge and abilities to reach conclusions and form your opinion before the characters do (you are part of the investigation, not just the characters) Warning: "Contains graphic violence" "Not suitable for children"

For The Sword by JJ_Shelby

"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series

With his uncle and aunt gunning for the throne and his life, Timothy has no choice but to get married before his Coronation which is in two moons, in order to secure his fragile claim to the throne and keep his mother safe. Facing challenges to his legitimacy and pressure to marry before his coronation, particularly due to lacking Grey magic when his lineage is expected to have both Green and Grey magic, Timothy finds an unlikely ally in Princess Zelda Faroe. A formidable mage he has a complicated history with. A girl he hates due to her bullying him in the Academy for four years. All her life Zelda Faroe has always gotten whatever she wanted with relative ease and has always been the most powerful Grey Mage in the Lyverian Empire, until she meets Timothy at the Academy. With her desire to be close to the Prince, who was supposed to be as powerful as her in magic, morphing into anger at him not being as powerful as she thought, she decides to train him for the next four years. At least that's what she thinks she is doing until seven years later when the Emperor dies and Timothy is in need of a bride. With her past actions haunting her, and her desire to change how he sees her prevalent in her mind, she decides to risk her life and her kingdom to help Timothy become Emperor.
