When a thief takes the magic staff keeping Cassian alive, the former necromancer is forced to shatter the staff in order to keep it away from the man who hired the thief-a man who betrayed him and all but sentenced him to death. Now, Cassian has to go on a quest to gather the pieces of the staff before the enemy. It just so happens that Elias-the thief-has a score to settle as well.

The two journey together, gathering the pieces of the magical artifact while trying not to kill each other along the way. Though they just might grow closer than either expected before their journey's end.

Threads Of Fate by laalaaloopsies

She was never meant to be his wife. She was meant to be his revenge. When Anastasia is forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes bound to Killian-a man feared for his silence as much as his violence. To her family, the union is protection. To him, it is justice long delayed. Every vow is calculated. Every act of devotion hides a blade. Killian has waited years to dismantle the family that destroyed his own, and through Anastasia, he finally holds the thread that can unravel them all. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. The woman meant to be collateral begins to matter. And the deeper the bond between them grows, the more impossible his revenge becomes. Because some threads, once pulled too tight, cannot be cut without blood.

The daughter of Autumn, born of fire and fury but made to be quiet, compliant, perfect. Her choices were never hers. Until him. Azriel, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court. Dangerous. Distant.

When secrets bloom into something irreversible, she must decide what she's willing to risk to protect a life that was never supposed to exist. A story of a girl born to burn, and a boy made of shadows. He was her shadow. She was his fire. Together, they burned.

Rhysand's sister-the little star of the Night Court. Beloved. Brilliant. Until Rhys went Under the Mountain... and she stopped burning. Bit by bit, she let herself be reduced, forgetting how to shine. Believing love meant pain, and healing was for other people. But Azriel? He sees all of it. Always has, always will. And all he wants is for her to let him love her. A story of a girl who lost herself, and the male who would burn the world to bring her back. Of the family who never stopped loving her, and the Shadowsinger who would wait a thousand years more if she asked.

Death's Shadow, Life's Thread by KT_Threadweaver

For years, the city has feared magic, but The Cleansing's killing spree against magicals ignited full-scale unrest. Though Zara, a necromancer, and Kage, a shadow-wielding detective, stopped him, The Cleansing became a martyr, fueling the rise of the Sovereign Order, a group bent on erasing magicals. As tensions rise, a new horror emerges-people found drained of life, their blood drawn from their bodies. The city fears Bloodspawn, but when Kage and Zara track him down, they find Malrick, a terrified orphan with rare Bloodborn magic-a power feared even among magicals. He never meant to kill, but without control, he's dangerous. And the Sovereign Order wants him dead. Determined to help him master his power, Zara and Kage take Malrick in, but as more magicals vanish and the Order tightens its grip, they must ask: Can Malrick be saved, or will his magic ignite a war? A story of magic, redemption, and found family, Death's Shadow, Life's Thread explores the fine line between destruction and salvation-and what it truly means to be feared.

Eclipsed | Cassian | ACOTAR by unofficalavenger3000

The Night Court's second Shadowsinger-sharp-edged, private, powerful. A ghost in enemy territory. A whisper in the field. A snarl at the war table. Everyone joked she and Azriel should fall in love. Their shadows already had. Everyone except Cassian. Because Cassian always knew it was her-the female with quick reflexes, sharper words, and a darkness that called to his light. But he never said a word. Couldn't risk her. Until he's carrying her broken body back home, whispering truths too late. The story of a female born in shadow who learned to weaponize silence and the male who loved her loud enough to break through.
