In a land governed by ancient bloodlines and quiet wars, Elowen Veyra is the treasured heir of her house - a hidden prodigy, honed to protect her family's legacy with both sword and strategy.
Seldom glimpsed beyond her family's high walls, she remains a legend among the heirs - admired, feared, and left untouched.
Cassian Veylan, scion of a family shrouded in secrets and power, enters the contest not for glory, but for the rare chance to draw near the girl no one dares approach.
He sees through the stories - not a cold icon, but a weapon sharpened by solitude, and perhaps the only force strong enough to change the world.
Bound by blood. Pulled by fate.
In a world where loyalty cuts as deep as betrayal, Elowen and Cassian must decide: will they fight side by side - or fall by each other's hands?

☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC}
Estelle Beaumont just wanted a peaceful hike on her last day of vacation. Instead, one ill-starred moment of curiosity leaves her miraculously stranded in the fictional world of Prythian: a faerie realm full of ruthless court intrigue, rampant misogyny, and enough deadly magic to keep anyone up at night. Armed with foreknowledge that's only helpful when it isn't actively trying to get her killed, Estelle quickly discovers that living through the story of ACOTAR is far less fun and far more perilous when it's her own basic-ass, untrained mortal life on the line. The plan is simple: keep her hands off of the plot and survive long enough to find a way back to the family and love she left behind. But the so-called "Mother" clearly has other ideas in store for Estelle, forcing her to confront an unsettling truth-her role here in Prythian may be far greater than that of a passive observer. As Estelle reluctantly abandons her original plan, uneasy alliances form, old wounds reopen, and fractured trust begins to mend. Love, loss, and the scars of the past converge as she slowly comes to realize that the family she thought she'd lost may yet take on a new shape-and that the life she left behind might be exactly what prepares her for the fight ahead. But the cost of shaping Prythian's future-and her own-may prove to be more than she can bear. After all, it's a future that was never meant to be hers in the first place. And this is all that damned Cauldron's fault... ☆⊱──────⊰ ☽✧☾ ⊱──────⊰☆ A/N: Warning: This fanfic is purely self-indulgent, with long-winded introspection and a major slowburn romance. Read at your own risk lol. Also if you don't like self-insert/iseki like tropes were an OC who read the books ends up in the fictional world as the new main character, you might want to skip this. Some things will stay very familiar, others will diverge completely, and I plan to add extra world building along the way. **Trigger W

Queen of Bargains: Monsters Under the Mountain
Selene was never meant to be part of this world. She had once been a medical student, living an ordinary life filled with textbooks, late-night study sessions, and the quiet certainty that magic was nothing more than fiction. Then, she woke up in a world ruled by monsters. For twenty-five years, she has survived on the outskirts of a human village, healing where she can, hiding where she must. She knows little of the High Fae, their courts, or their treacherous games. She knows only whispers-of a wicked queen named Amarantha, of a war that shattered kingdoms, of a High Lord with violet eyes and a smirk sharper than a blade. But when a raid on her village drags her Under the Mountain, Selene is thrust into a world of cruelty and deceit. Powerless and human, she should have been nothing more than another disposable servant. Instead, she catches the eye of Rhysand, Amarantha's right hand. To the world, he is a monster. A traitor. A willing pet in the queen's twisted court. But Selene has seen him at his most powerful. And now, she has seen him at his most broken. Forced into servitude, trapped in a palace where humans do not last long, Selene must navigate the deadly politics of a court built on suffering. But as she uncovers the truth hidden beneath Rhysand's carefully crafted mask, she begins to question everything she thought she knew-about this world, about him, and about the war that looms on the horizon. Because it was not fate brought her here. She was the obstacle to his fate. And fate is watching. all rights reserved to the original authorComplete

Shadow-Bound Flame
The Sunstone is broken, and the Fire must choose a master. For a thousand years, the curse has dimmed the light of the Sunstone lineage in Veridia. Princess Lyra, the last flicker of her fading kingdom, carries a terrifying secret: a dormant, unbound fire in her blood-the power foretold to either save the world or burn it to ash. When King Aethos Volkar, the ruthless ruler of the Shadowfell Empire and master of the Void, executes his final conquest, he claims Lyra as his ultimate prize. He is the ultimate predator, shattering Veridia's defenses and seizing the power he knows he cannot extract, only bind. Now a captive in the desolate, obsidian heart of the Shadowfell Citadel, Lyra is given a brutal choice: refuse him, and watch her remaining people be dismantled, or accept his crown. Aethos commands her to be his Shadow-Bound Flame-his Queen-so that her chaotic, immense power can be tamed and fused with his cold, absolute dominion. To survive, Lyra must master the dangerous magic she despises and find a way to strike at the man she has sworn to destroy. But as the King of Shadow begins to teach her the limits of her own strength, she discovers that hatred is merely a passion that can be misplaced... and the line between salvation and ruin is agonizingly thin.
