'They dressed her in white to be slaughtered like the rest. She came back in red.'

After her kingdom is destroyed, Princess Althea is forced into a brutal game of survival orchestrated by the three princes of Eryndor. When she refuses to die, she becomes their property. Leon claims her. Sephtis studies her. And somewhere between bloodstained floors and poison-laced tea, she learns how to turn their world to ash.

But power is a cruel game, and trust is just a slower death. As rebellion brews and blades are drawn, Althea steps onto the ballroom floor one final time-not to beg, not to bow, but to dance.

With a knife in her, and a sword in him.

It was a night to remember.
A waltz of vengeance.
A coronation written in blood.

'Long live the girl who was never meant to rule.'
'Long live the man she never got to be.'

SCARS by kai001501

She was the girl who broke the rules just to love him. The dutiful daughter who hid a relationship her parents would never approve of. The college dreamer who gave up everything the moment she found out she was carrying his child. For Althea, love was worth the risk-until she discovered the truth. The man she chose over her family... the same man she thought she knew inside and out... was still tied to the woman he once called his wife. And worse, she was the one left in the dark-while everyone else knew. Years later, she thought the past was behind them. She thought she could forgive, rebuild, and be whole again for the sake of their child. But history has a cruel way of repeating itself. This time, it wasn't his ex-wife. It was someone new. Someone who reminded her of one painful truth: no matter how much you love, it will never be enough to change someone who chooses to betray you. Now, torn between the family she built and the pieces of herself she keeps losing, Althea must face the hardest question of all- 💔 Is love still worth saving, when it's the same love that keeps breaking you? Love and betrayal, choices and consequences - hanggang saan ang kaya mong patawarin para sa pamilya at sa sarili mo?

Whispers of the Damned: The Eternal Crossroads by Haru2409

Currently trending in HAUNTED PAST (#66) and MORALLY GREY (#583), this isn't a love story. It's a game darker than love. They say fate can't be escaped. But what if loving him is the thing that destroys her? Althea's life was never meant to be normal. Haunted by nightmares she can't explain and a past wrapped in silence, she's only ever known how to survive. Love? Trust? They're luxuries she can't afford. Until Calix-dangerous, unreadable, and hiding secrets behind every smile-enters her world. He was never meant to stay. She was never meant to matter. But now, their fates are entangled-and something far darker is watching. As buried memories surface and the truth about her parents' death unravels, Althea finds herself caught between love and destiny, betrayal and survival. Calix may be her only hope... or the reason she falls. In a world where souls are cursed and fate is written in blood, love isn't salvation-it's the beginning of the end.

Within the Walls- The Evermere Series: Book One by jaycozy

Princess Aria of Evermere has everything a royal girl is supposed to want: gowns of silk, tea with nobility, and a life of order within the palace walls. But Aria has never cared much for "supposed to." Trapped by duty, grief, and a father who treats her like a pawn, Aria dreams of a life beyond the marble halls-one that doesn't involve arranged courtships, kingdom politics, or her every move being reported by royal guards. When a childhood friend returns with a charming smile and mischief in his eyes, and a stern, disciplined royal guard is assigned to her side, Aria finds herself caught between comfort and challenge, safety and longing. But love is dangerous in a world where alliances are everything-and even affection can be used as leverage. As tensions rise in the kingdom and a suitor she despises is invited into her life, Aria must choose: obey the role she was born into, or risk everything for a future she craves for herself. A slow-burn fantasy romance filled with political intrigue, stolen moments, and a heroine who refuses to be tamed.

The Moment I Knew // GoT by Audelia01

Adara Hightower always knew her path would be set by others. Raised with the knowledge that she would marry young, Adara's life in the Hightower was one of solitude, dictated by her father's ambitions and the cold walls that watched over her every step. When Lady Cersei, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, dies suddenly in childbirth at twenty-five, King Robert Baratheon needs a new bride to continue his line. His choice is swift and clear-Adara. Thrown from the shadows of Oldtown into the ruthless glare of King's Landing, Adara is haunted by the fate of her predecessor and terrified of her new husband's temper. With no friends and no one to trust, she finds herself lost in the glittering courts and dangerous intrigues of the Red Keep. But one figure stands apart from the rest, a man who understands the emptiness of the court and the pressure of duty: Ser Jaime Lannister, Cersei's twin and former Queen's protector. Bound by shared memories of Cersei and their own haunted pasts, Jaime becomes a reluctant ally and an unexpected source of comfort for Adara. As Adara learns to navigate her new role, she is left grappling with her fears, her duty to a king who both fascinates and terrifies her, and a forbidden friendship that could be her only solace-or her undoing. In a world where loyalty is a dangerous game, Adara must find the strength to survive... or risk losing herself entirely.

Althea - The Female Alpha by milz0923

'"Nobody leaves" Althea's voice boomed, stopping everyone in their track. Matt and Tray were shocked by the dominance her voice held. It was strange, she was a rogue but where was all the power coming from? they thought. "Nobody dares defy my command" Aries spat out each word, his voice too held dominance. He shouted each word at her. "And nobody dares disrespects me" Althea spat back the words at him. Aries too furious, slammed the table and broke it into half. He was too blinded by his anger that he forgot who he was talking to. His mate. His other half. "The rogues have started to think I have gone soft. They think so because I have taken in a rogue" he spat the words at her, looking right in her eyes.' All she was looking for was answers, but what happens when she finds her mate in the process? One that was equally dominant, an Alpha, ruthless and unforgiving. Book 1 of Althea series

The wind howled across the field as it screamed at Althea to stop. Only it knew of the sufferings that awaited her arrival in the land of living because if he were to reject her again, it will not only torture her, but it will break her soul and taint it forever. And this time, it might end up turning her into a goddess of darkness. A dark and ferocious goddess. "Let the game against destiny begin."' She is back but she is very different. Will Aries know that it's her? Book 2 of Althea series (Strongly recommend that you read the first book to understand) Completed: 24/07/20
