Harper is a legitimized bastard of the king of Tharenell, primed to be the next spymaster, taking over after her Uncle Henry. But before what may be their biggest operation yet the spy they plan to plant into the enemy empire is fatally wounded. With nobody else having the knowledge of the ciphers created for the operation Harper's Uncle offers her as a replacement bride to the Emperor of Fareithyn to salvage all the work they've done.

But Elias isn't what Harper expected and the closer she gets to completing their plan, the more she gets to know the Emperor as a man and not as a figurehead of war, the more she begins to doubt her purpose. 

Is Fareithyn really their enemy? Or are both countries so wounded from a generational war that they don't recognize when enough is enough?Todos los derechos reservados

Bloodbound Rivals {BL} de mufuiq

Bound by duty, divided by class, and tangled in a fate neither of them chose. In a kingdom where power is veiled in blood and shadows, Cassian has spent his entire life clawing his way through poverty, doing whatever it takes to keep his family fed in a city that couldn't care less if he lived or died. So when he's offered an unusually well-paid position as the personal servant to the spoiled crown prince, he doesn't hesitate, no matter how dangerous the job sounds. Prince Thalric is everything Cassian despises: cold, entitled, and unbearably arrogant. A creature born into power and immortality, treats everyone with disdain. Especially his new servant who is not afraid to give the prince a sharp tongue. They hate each other from the start. But hatred has a way of turning into obsession.. And obsession into something far more treacherous. As Cassian is pulled deeper into the royal court's web of secrets, ancient bloodline, and buried traumas, he realizes there's more to the prince than blood and cruelty. But in a kingdom built on centuries of lies and violence, getting close to the crown is a dangerous game. And falling for the crown prince might be the most dangerous move of all. ⠀ . . . ⠀ TAGS: dark fantasy, gothic, enemies to lovers, rivals, vampire, medival, royalty, mlm, boys love, yaoi, angst, violence, murder, manipulation, prince, servant, trauma, slowburn, morally gray . . . ⠀

Veiled in Light and Ruin de 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 Grove de bored_at_midnight

Adler ascended his father's throne after the old bastard was deposed. He inherited a divided kingdom that has been committing genocide against its own people for generations. Adler feels inadequate to rule. The weight of it is unbearably heavy, he doesn't have the talent for it, and Adler feels like he's suffocating every minute of every day. When the entire kingdom shows up to the party in honor of the king's birthday, he's so overwhelmed that he tries to hide. Instead of refuge, he catches a thief in the act of stealing papers from him and his advisors. The thief is unapologetic, audacious, and most confusingly, flirtatious. She makes an odd promise to return to him shortly, then takes off into the night. The very next day, she appears in his rooms. He's baffled. "Want to help me stop a coup?", she asks with a playful smile. Adler falls for Ren almost immediately. He doesn't even try to deny it. Ren makes it very clear that she has no time for his feelings, but she might make an exception for his body. Her people are dying, and she's in the fight to end the genocide. Everything else comes second to the cause. She leads the king to a world that is and isn't part of their own. Revolution is rising up in The Grove.
