Step right up. The show always goes on,even if it kills you.
Behind the colorful tents and cotton candy, something is wrong. The magic is rotting. And in the spotlight is on Eliza, a not-quite magician with shaking hands. The circus travels, the crowds cheer, and the performers bleed. Eliza knows better than to hope. But when the ringmaster tightens his grip and the lies grow too heavy to carry, survival may no longer be enough.
Some stories start with a spark.

A Plaything for the Dragons by annablazer

❝Two dragons and their dirty little plaything.❞ I didn't have much before the war. Just a name, a half-broken past, and kraken scars that burn every time I breathe. The war didn't break me-it just left marks that never healed. Now, I scrape by in the Banished Realm doing what I must to survive-petty crimes, quiet getaways, keeping my head low and my secrets buried. It's barely enough. Until desperation pushes me into a mission I can't afford to refuse. One risky job. One promised payout. One brutal trap I never saw coming. Framed for a crime I didn't commit, I'm dragged into the dungeons of the Banished Kings. A mated pair-ancient, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful. They claim they want answers. But the way they circle me, the way their eyes linger on my scars and the fire beneath my skin... it's not just the truth they crave. I have a secret they can never uncover. Because if they do, they won't destroy me. They'll devour me-mind, body, and soul. And I don't know if I'll beg them to stop... or to never stop at all.

𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐎𝐟 𝐁𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐚𝐦 |𝟏𝟖+ by bazookah

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐚𝐦. . . . There are things you're taught not to do. Rules you're told to follow. People you're meant to forget. Flora never planned to end up here, but after one too many mistakes, her life dives for rock bottom. Now, she's trapped in a world she doesn't understand, haunted by a past she can't outrun. And at the center of it all stands the boy she'd sworn to forget. What once was fate, fractures into an illusion and twist into something dangerously evil. They were kids together. Friends together. 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵. She's new. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵. She's fresh meat. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. What happens when they reunite? Secrets unfold. Chaos runs free. And the line between love and ruin sharpens into a thin blade, as history proves to repeat itself in its cruelest form. A girl. A boy. And a mad house that feeds on sin. There's no place to hide here. You can run, but you'll never get away. "𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘦𝘥𝘭𝘢𝘮. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺." 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲

Light Eternal by Caeweth92

The realm of the fairy's, a world alien to mortals, filled with beings of legends and folklore. It is a land only a hairs breadth away from earth, yet completely unreachable. It is a word of strange and seemingly inconsistent rules, governed by magic and its unpredictable nature. Fairies of all types reside in this world, each specializing in different magic, ranging from the most basic elemental magic, to shape shifting, and even traveling between worlds. Within this world is a forest so deep and dark, it is named Forest of the Eternal Night. It is home to dangerous beasts and monsters of myth, yet within the deepest darkest reaches live the beautiful Night Fae: Talented tailors, dream weavers, and master artisans. Each bears a different color moonstone embedded in their chest, which supplies their powerful magic. Along side each Night Fae exists a spider familiar, a creature whom converts dream energy into the finest silk imaginable. They lead extremely private lives, but one day a young woman dares to leave the confines of her forest home to see the world beyond. What will await her?

HIS TESORO✅ [The Sinister Series] by frozen_within

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK
