average emotional hearttouching magic maturity world

In a world where magic crowns the gifted and ambition builds kingdoms, one student drifts quietly beneath the golden spires of the renowned Aesterion Academy. Neither chosen nor cursed, Kael Rothmere stands in the silent in-between - not extraordinary, not forgettable. But when the tower's shadow grows heavy with expectations, doubts, and fading dreams, Kael finds himself at the edge of something deeper than failure...

A story about quiet resistance, fading innocence, and the fragile hope that something soft can still survive where only sharpness thrives.

Chains Made Of Silk (Completed) by sLilith200

Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?

Heir of the Underground by kj_writes_stuff

Aurelia just wants to live a peaceful life. Unfortunately, the Heir of the Underground has other plans for her... ~ Left on the steps of the chapel at birth, Aurelia is taken in and trained to serve the High King, the defeater of the Fey. Only, unbeknownst to many, the Fey aren't truly gone. Though highly underpopulated, the Fey remain hidden in the Underground. They keep to themselves and avoid humans at all costs, all except for one charmingly mysterious Fey: The Heir of the Underground. And, much to Aurelia's horror, he's looking for her. And he's not at all opposed to crashing the High King's annual ball if it means getting to speak to her and reveal the truth of her heritage-a truth that Aurelia is not ready to face. But one can only avoid the truth for so long, and the more she fights who she is meant to be, the more danger she creates, not only for herself but for everyone she encounters along the way. One way or another, Aurelia is destined to go to the Underground. There, a mystery that only she can face is waiting to be solved. And the love of a lifetime is waiting for her and depending on her to help crack the case. ~ [Currently editing.

Laurel and Bone by FoundlingShadow

-"She'll ruin you! She'll bring you to your knees." His answer was a prayer, murmured above me. "Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat. Forced into deadly trials before a crowd of merciless Fae, Cassia fights to keep her life, unaware that the game was never meant for her to win. When a dashing Fae Lord steps in to save the hapless human girl, she sees no way to live long enough to find her way home, except his unwanted offer of marriage. This Lord had his own reasons for this chivalry, however. She was not to be a bride, but a key. Hunted, terrified, and betrayed, Cassia finds an unlikely ally in the court of her betrothed. One with secrets that echo her own... one who leads her to a reclusive and broken Fae Lord who sees the darkness she hides. As war brews and ancient magic stirs, love becomes a weapon. Cassia must decide who to trust before she loses more than her home and freedom. In the Fae realm, looks can be deceiving. And after a life of hot and cold, Cassia isn't certain she can trust a "just right".

Golden [h.s.] by exquisitestylesx

It's been a while since I've last seen him, and just the mere mention of this man's presence makes the blood in my veins sing. I can almost hear his voice calling my name. "Aurelia...." he'd slowly drag, his tongue licking his lips each time before pulling into a sinful smirk. "My muse...you have complete control of me, you know that, don't you?" I shudder at the memory, recalling the intensity of his green gaze. He'd always call me his muse, his inspiration. His golden girl. My mouth runs dry. I want nothing to do with this man; so why is it that my body disobeys me? Why is it that goosebumps rise on my skin at the thought of seeing him again? *mature and explicit content*

The Ethereal Forge by TMEvergreen

Ethereal Forge Book One of the Ethereal Saga The Scar is waking-and it's calling for her. Kael Sorran never asked for magic. Never wanted the whispers in her blood. But when she's forced into the brutal Academy of Aelthane Forge, survival means unlocking a power tied to the ancient, shattered Ether Crystal-and facing the secrets the Academy would kill to bury. The Scar chose her. The shards are stirring. And between loyalty and forbidden temptation, her heart may become her greatest battlefield. Mystical beasts. Deadly magic. A love triangle tangled in fate and betrayal. Kael's story is only just beginning. Content Warning: This story includes violence and, later, sexual content. Please read with care. This is my debut novel! I'd love to hear your honest (and kind) feedback as I grow as a writer. Thank you for reading.

The Love That Burned by TochiSlayy

She was light in a world that had long forgotten the sun. In a kingdom bound by duty, curses, and cold tradition, a girl with eyes like wild dusk captured the heart of a man who could not die. Auren Thorne - immortal, untouched by time - was meant to guard the realm, not fall in love with its most fragile soul. But when he saw her... he burned. They said she was destined for another. Promised to a future sewn in silk and political vows. But in secret gardens and forbidden hallways, her heart was already spoken for. And when the fires of war came - they did not burn down the kingdom. They burned her. Now only ashes remain. And a love too powerful to bury quietly. But even flame leaves shadows. And even death may not keep her from him. 🕯️ A tragic, intoxicating fantasy romance. Lovers. Magic. Betrayal. And a love that scorched through time itself.

The hidden heir:Beyond the crown by Anyashade

In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.
