In a brutal dystopian world once divided into warring factions-Apex, Dawn, Twilight, Sunset, and Midnight.

Power now is determined through the War Games, a deadly battle royale held every five years. Each section selects a warrior to fight for dominance, but no one from Midnight, the land of exiles, criminals, and drifters, has ever won.

Lilith, a sharp-witted and self-sufficient young woman from Midnight, is unexpectedly chosen as her faction's warrior, making her the first woman to ever enter the Games. With no allies and little faith in her survival, she is assigned a "queen"-a 30-year-old criminal meant to be her partner in the blood-soaked contest. As the Games approach, Lilith must navigate shifting alliances, ruthless competitors, and a dangerous love triangle between her queen and a warrior from Apex, all while fighting for her life in a contest where there can be only one survivor.All Rights Reserved

Some scars are visible. Others run deeper than memory. Alara was adopted to be a weapon-shaped by pain, sharpened by control, and destined to kill the one man who could've saved her. Ace. But fate has other plans. When Alara discovers the horrific truth about her biological parents' murder, everything she believed collapses. Her so-called family didn't just lie to her-they orchestrated her entire life. And now, she's done playing their game. Hiding in Ace's home, haunted by secrets she can't speak, Alara is caught between the ghost of the girl she was forced to be... and the woman she's becoming. Ace is the only person who sees her, not as a weapon, but as someone worth saving. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more dangerous it becomes. Because Alara isn't the only one with secrets. And someone else is wearing her face. In a world where trust is lethal and love is a liability, Alara must choose: vengeance or freedom, survival or surrender, truth or the illusion that's been her life.

Ashes of Midnight by crypticquill_io

When Aria saves a wounded vampire in the dark woods outside her village, she doesn't expect him to bleed secrets older than the world-or to know her name like a curse he's spoken before. Lucien is dangerous, hunted, and full of half-truths. But the more Aria learns, the more she's forced to confront a terrifying truth: she isn't just a healer with a sharp tongue and a knife in her boot-she's the reincarnated flamebearer who once sealed away a monster built from memory and blood. Now, that monster has awakened. With an uneasy alliance between a broken vampire, a haunted wolf shifter, and a girl who used to be a legend, Aria must unearth a power she no longer remembers before the ancient war she once ended starts all over again. Because the past isn't dead. It's *just waiting*.

Heir Ascending by J_Doe1101

With danger at every turn, Eden must accept her own power all while battling an attraction to someone whose secrets are perhaps darker than her own. In a world left in ruins, humanity clings to divisioned survival under the rule of the Visitors. But these invader's reign is threatened when a new breed of super-humans emerges, possessing abilities beyond the Visitors themselves.

Love guides, Love destroys and Love lies. It doesn't help when you're looking for the paragon of deceit. Love cripples and love blinds, but love is also overwhelming power and unspeakable joy. How can something so pure hurt people so terribly? Well, in simple, teenagers have access to this love. And when fire and ice clash, so does the love that freezes and burns within them. The 7-month timer has started, and so has the beginning of this thrilling dystopian and fantasy-romance novel that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Velvet & Vengeance by adalynee_

Lena Morrow thought the worst thing about working nights in a city that never sleeps was the loneliness. That is, until she realizes someone's been watching her-someone patient, quiet, and deadly. When a stranger saves her from a contract hit and drags her into a web of secrets, she learns her missing brother was never just a ghost from her past-he was part of something bigger. Something ruthless. Cassian Vale doesn't do attachments. As the underworld's most efficient assassin, his rules are simple: no names, no mercy, no survivors. But Lena Morrow breaks every one of them. Protecting her means betraying the empire that built him, and once he's tasted her defiance, he can't let her go-no matter how much blood it costs. As bullets fly and alliances crumble, their story becomes one of survival, obsession, and a love sharp enough to cut. In a city of smoke and sin, they'll have to decide whether to save each other... or destroy everything in the name of it.

As they chase down the secret to his redemption, they're hunted by enemies from his past who see Lilith as his weakness. 1.Dorian (The Cursed Immortal) Charismatic and alluring-sharp features, piercing eyes that seem to hold centuries of sorrow, always dressed impeccably.

The Only Queen by spoiledbrathani

[MAFIA ROMANCE, RATED R] "I catch a lot of attention these days," she purred, her voice dripping with seductive allure as she toyed with Cedric's expectations. "But you haven't quite managed to capture mine yet," she teased, her tone coy yet tantalizing. Cedric's expression darkened slightly, a predatory gleam in his eyes as he stepped closer to Lilith, the air charged with electricity between them. "I always get what I want, when I want," he growled softly, his voice low and commanding as he locked eyes with her. ~ In the heart of the male-dominated underworld, Lilith emerges as a formidable force, crowned as the sole queen among her four brothers. It's a destiny written before her birth, a path she must walk to uphold her family's legacy. Tasked by her oldest brother, Lucifer, with using her feminine charm to navigate the treacherous world of organized crime, Lilith finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue, unaware of the intricate game Lucifer is playing.

Cedric is determined to make Lilith his queen, regardless of the consequences.
