She watched the world burn.

As auburn flames burned the mountains, and fire eroded the rivers. As blood flooded the battlefield. As people drowned in their own hatred. Except the battlefield was her home, and only her people perished. She watched her people lose a war they never asked for. 

All because of her. But she didn't know that yet.

Nikora has secrets she can't handle. A force she can't control. 
Licarus has history he can't unlock. A weapon he can't wield.
She needs his weapon, he needs her force.

But some secrets are destined to be untold, some weapons needn't be sharpened.
In their silence, who is the serpent?

Every year, the Emperor demands a game of survival. Every year, children burn. Seventeen-year-old Liora never planned to become a symbol. She only wanted to keep her promise: protect her best friend, Iria, and return home alive. But when she is thrown into the deadly Trial of Flames--a brutal arena of lava rivers, ash storms, and blood-soaked alliances--Liora must decide how far she's willing to go to survive. She never thought survival would mean watching Kael, the boy who once swore to protect her, fall into the fire to save her. She never thought she would have to grieve him. Until he comes back. Alive. Cold. Hunting her under the Emperor's command. As the arena burns, Liora discovers the truth: the Emperor has rigged the games for his own power, and Kael's betrayal may not be what it seems. But in a world where mercy is a death sentence and trust is a weapon, Liora will have to choose: Fight for Survival. Or fight for freedom. And as ashes fall, she may become the spark that sets the Empire ablaze. ✨Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Red Queen, this YA fantasy is filled with brutal trials, betrayal, and a love that refuses to die. ✨Updates every Friday.

Blood Feud: Heart of Flames by AmenAngel895
19 parts Ongoing
Pain! Pain! Excruciating pain! And the agony of betrayal! That's all she felt, that's all she could think of. Her once beautiful and soulful eyes now dead, replaced with tears of blood. Her heart-once warm and beating-cut open, now turned to stone. Her mind, body, and soul had died in the fire which consumed and reshaped her. Her heart bled, her eyes bled, her mouth bled-they all bled blood. Her heart, once betrayed by love, closed off to love with only one feeling keeping it alive: hatred-extreme hatred. Never to love again. Betrayed, stabbed, injured, torn apart-she experienced it all. But... now given a second chance to change everything, she swore to make those who caused her to lose everything burn down with her in her heart of flames. And then he said to her, "You want to burn them all? I'll be the spark to your flames. We will burn them all together in your heart of flames."

She's cold, untouchable, and used to being feared. He's the one man who's not afraid to get too close. Isabella Black doesn't do fear. She doesn't do help. And she definitely doesn't do protection. As the icy CEO of Blackstone Enterprises, she's built a world where no one gets close - and anyone who tries is crushed. But when threats start slipping past her security, the board sends her a solution she didn't ask for: Cade Wolf. Ex-military. Sharp-eyed. Silent. And not the type to take orders from anyone - not even her. He's supposed to be her bodyguard. A shadow in the background. But Cade sees what no one else does: the cracks in her armor, the pain she hides, and the war she's waging behind those cold eyes. They're complete opposites - fire and ice, control and chaos. But the danger circling them is personal. It's tied to both their pasts. And the deeper he digs, the closer he gets to the truth... And to her. Enemies are closing in. Secrets are bleeding out. And the one thing Isabella swore she'd never give - is the one thing Cade won't stop taking. A slow-burn, high-heat romance full of power games, dark secrets, and a love that could ruin them both.

*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.
Ride Me Home by AmourMio22
32 parts Complete Mature
When Dani Vega catches her fiancé in bed with someone else, she doesn't scream or cry-she rides. Leaving behind the life she built in L.A., she roars back to her hometown with nothing but a duffel bag, a broken heart, and her beloved Harley. She swore she'd never return to Ridgepoint. Not to the ghosts. Not to the father who rules the Iron Serpents MC with an iron fist. And definitely not to the three men who were off-limits her whole damn life. But they've changed. And so has she. Diesel-the brooding mechanic with oil-stained hands and a past he's not proud of. Mack-the quiet bruiser who watches more than he speaks...and always protects what's his. Fox-the silver-tongued enforcer with too many tattoos and not enough shame. They're her dad's most trusted crew. Tight as family. Lovers, even. She's not supposed to want them. They're definitely not supposed to want her. But some rules were made to be broken. As sparks ignite and buried truths come to light, Dani finds herself caught between loyalty, desire, and a second chance at a kind of love she never saw coming-one that's wild, unorthodox, and utterly hers. In this town, love rides hard, loyalty rides harder-and Dani's about to learn what it means to truly come home.
