Every moon age the Alvari empire grows, and the year of the Arcane approaches. Those who have seen through the plague of tongue are forever changed. No one is the same. 

Etha wishes nothing more but to see the end of the Alvari family rule, and be rid of the plague that changed her family. The fear of arcane has spread to the people, all those who were blessed with the skills to control the arcane elements are either dead or in hiding. Etha being one of them. 

However, what will she do when chaos lay in the palm of her hands and the Alvari prince be within her grasp? 

And how will he prove the truth is not the truth at all?

------------

"How? How do you still live, when everyone else dies?!" I strain in a desperate attempt to gain some of the answers I have been craving. 
I am met with no reply, only the analysing gaze of his green eyes, partially covered by the strands of his black hair. 
"Tell me!" I tighten the shackles that bind him to the contraption, tearing his arms and legs bit by bit. 
"I don't know! I don't know why, I wish I knew, please believe me when I say that." He cries out, dropping his head, the first words he has spoken since I captured him leaving his lips however restrained he tried to be. 
Only, that wasn't the right voice. 
I lift his head for him to face me, the tears streaming down his face almost removing any magic used to disguise him in their path. 
"You aren't the Prince.."

Thread of Shadow, Sin & Flame (MM fantasy romance) by rlbrowne
2 parts Ongoing Mature
When the three Kingdoms hold a meeting with the courts in their Regions, claiming a prophecy was delivered to each, whispers start to stir. Wrathborn bloodlines? Coming to the Realm? A war brewing? In a Realm where Sulken - creatures who feed on souls, and are both elemental and eternal - rule, and are shaped by the Gods to punish and preserve, begin to shift, things start going wrong. Prophecies speak of this and that. Wars and ruins. Conflicts and hidden bloodlines. Creatures of death, and destruction that even the dark can't escape. Now the Allseers - keepers of the Gods' oldest truths - have named a threat. The wrathborn bloodlines stir with power none are prepared for. Ayren, a Sulken with a divine power, is on the run with his family and another. Another prophecy shows, and he's sent to the Dark Court for protection. Then he meets Draxien, the war-born Leader bound to shadows... and to Ayren in ways neither understands. Their bond is unnatural. Undeniable. And it may be the key to unraveling the truth from the prophecy. Because across the fractured Courts, a war brews not only for this Realm... but for the next if they're not careful. Not all written is truth. --- Some bloodlines were cursed. Others were erased. And some were made to burn the world down.
Threads of Fate by LeeraIvy

The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics.

The Grove by bored_at_midnight
25 parts Ongoing Mature
Adler ascended his father's throne after the old bastard was deposed. He inherited a divided kingdom that has been committing genocide against its own people for generations. Adler feels inadequate to rule. The weight of it is unbearably heavy, he doesn't have the talent for it, and Adler feels like he's suffocating every minute of every day. When the entire kingdom shows up to the party in honor of the king's birthday, he's so overwhelmed that he tries to hide. Instead of refuge, he catches a thief in the act of stealing papers from him and his advisors. The thief is unapologetic, audacious, and most confusingly, flirtatious. She makes an odd promise to return to him shortly, then takes off into the night. The very next day, she appears in his rooms. He's baffled. "Want to help me stop a coup?", she asks with a playful smile. Adler falls for Ren almost immediately. He doesn't even try to deny it. Ren makes it very clear that she has no time for his feelings, but she might make an exception for his body. Her people are dying, and she's in the fight to end the genocide. Everything else comes second to the cause. She leads the king to a world that is and isn't part of their own. Revolution is rising up in The Grove.

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.
Shadow of the Prince by CSMeyerA

"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.

**WARNING: This book does have some dark themes to it that revolve around abuse, rape etc. So please do not read if these themes are triggers for you** Four...That was her name or rather number of servant she was. She arrived at the Valley pack as a child with no name and no voice just wrapped in cloth and a strange necklace around her neck. Raised by the abusive Alpha, Four did not see any future for herself. What she thought would be a death sentence from a heist gone wrong, leaving her in the Alpha King's dungeon awaiting death for treason turned out to uncover more truths and secrets than she ever expected. ********* 'I cowered in the corner of the dark and cold cell. There was nothing but utter silence around me. It was deafening. My ears perked as I heard hissing sounds come from the vent and it made me feel weak and the door to the dungeon open. I could smell something but couldn't tell what the vapors released from the vents were burning my nostrils. I could hear foot steps drawing to my cell. The lights flicked on and I squinted to see a tall and broad figuring standing at my cell door, unlocking it, and walking in. The aura this man was giving out was making it hard not to tremble. I quickly stood up and bowed. "What is your name" he bellowed kinda muffled. I panicked and quickly remembered that the guards had not checked me before putting me in here. I pulled out my speech device and began typing...I looked up for a split second just to see a fist plummeting towards me and everything became fuzzy. I could hear screams but could not make out what was being said. Everything grew darker and darker before eventually everything was all black and my world faded...' ~~~~~~~ None of the remarks made in this story are real. It is all Fiction. ©All Rights Reserved

I hear the clanking of metal loud and rigid from behind me, I feel the wind rush past as I sprint, they are still chasing me. I'll be honest I don't know what to do, quite frankly it's hard to think straight right now. I feel my body shutting down as the adrenaline is losing its punch, I can't run any faster. I'm always running, they are always chasing me. I don't even know why they chase me, I don't know what I did and like them they won't say. Do they even know? Am I just unlucky? Someone they picked at random to be the new subject of there torture? I wont let it happen. That's why I'll stay free, never fully contained. I think about the one I love, Charlie. I don't know where he is, I don't even know if he is safe. "Hey! Weapon down sarge, we don't want to kill her!" A guard's shout smacks me out of my train of thought. By this point I've gained some distance due to them having heavy armour. This stops me in my tracks though, I hear the guards slow down too. I stop, I realise, they want me alive. They aren't going to kill me, they don't want me dead. I have a gun, if I just point it at myself what are they going to do? I turn around and I look at all of the guards who have stopped in their tracks heaving in confusion. It's silent, even the wind is merely a whisper, all that can be heard is the panting of everyone on scene. They want me alive, they want me alive. I turn around, towards my chasers. I notice the guards straighten as I do so, instinctively I hold my gun to my neck, one bullet left, not enough for all of them but enough to kill me. They don't want me dead. I look to see all of them freeze in shock before one of the guards takes a step forward. I can't see their face, I can't see anyone's face but I feel like I need to know who this is. Before I can react they raise their gun and shoot. Pain explodes in my leg and I fall, all that running, for nothing. All I see now is black, I can't hear everything but I still feel conscious.

[Mature Content | 18+] "It was you, wasn't it, Lucian?" Damian's voice boomed with anger, sending shivers down Sera's spine. Whispers of the Darkling's ruthless nature had reached her ears, and she wondered if they were true. It couldn't be, could it? "What if it was me? Damian, grow up. She's not even human. How could she be your soulmate? We are Darklings, defined by power," Lucian retorted, his eyes widening as he looked at Sera. With trepidation, she nodded slightly, still fearful of Lucian's gaze. Before he could speak again, Damian unleashed his powers, ending Lucian's life in a macabre spectacle. The room reeked of blood as Lucian collapsed. "D-Damian!" Sera's voice quivered with shock and concern. "You have no idea what else I had in store for you. Be glad," Damian said, meeting Seraphina's eyes. Fear lurked in her gaze-a stark contrast to the strong woman he loved. He never wanted her to fear him. Driven by impulse, Damian pulled her close, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Their connection was intense, their hunger insatiable. "Don't be afraid of me, princess. Never," he whispered between kisses, reassuring her. She couldn't help but pull him into another deep kiss. - Update schedule: 2 chapters/day

||WATTY 2021 SHORTLIST|| Ex-Princess-Bride wants to marry her beloved Dragon, but when a curse threatens their happily ever after, they are left racing against time to break the spell before it breaks their hearts. *** Elvira, a princess who gave up her rights to the crown to go on adventures and do good, falls in love with a dragon knight Ferrante. Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract. More brawn than brains, the fine print is not his forte, and the dangers of sparring with nimble minds are far greater than he had seen in his nightmares. Meanwhile, a sinister puppet-master also has designs on Elvira... So, the race to the altar is on! Age range I think is NA to adult, but it's smut-free. If you see this book on any other site, they'd stolen it. If they're charging you for it, this is the best and free version. Please read it on W-A-T-T-pad. First Published: April 29, 2020

"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
