This story follows two exiled souls bound by fate, betrayal, and the wounds of a forgotten war.

Kaelor Veythran, a former guardian of the Veil that separates realms of mortals and Fae, now wanders a fractured world, haunted by visions and hunted for powers he cannot fully control. Sylen Thorneveil, a fallen Fae noble turned fugitive, has vanished into myth until a storm of ancient forces stirs and draws him back into the world he abandoned... and the man he could never forget.

As shadow-creatures breach the Veil and a child born from light and void stir in their sleep, Kaelor and Sylen are forced to reunite, unraveling the lies buried in bloodlines, the truth behind their separation, and the price of a soul unmoored. Joined by cursed allies, half-immortal kin, their journey becomes a collision of prophecy, vengeance, and the remnants of a love that never died.

But some thorns don't guard the rose they guard a gate. And beyond that gate waits something no one is ready to face.

Bruises, Cuts & Scars by ChennaeKelly

I was never supposed to see the other side of the forest. And I definitely wasn't supposed to fall for a princess. One accidental step through a hidden gate, and my scars turned to gold, my blood to gemstones-and my life into a political weapon. Now I'm caught between the human world and the Fae court, where beauty hides deadly ambition and alliances are as fragile as glass. The Queen's enemies want to use me. Her daughter wants to protect me. And every choice I make pulls me deeper into a game I don't understand. In the Celestial Veil, secrets have teeth, magic has a price, and even love can be dangerous. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses - a slow-burn, high-stakes romantic fantasy filled with court intrigue, hidden magic, and a heroine who must decide if surviving means staying human... or becoming something more.

Confess I Love You by kyzzesss

They call me a mage of light, but light has never truly belonged to me. What lives in my chest is no gift, it is a curse. A mark that burns, binding me to powers I cannot control, a mark that the Shadow Herald himself hunts, whispering that one day it will consume me whole. I should have told Kael. I should have told him long ago, before the secrets turned into chains of their own. But how could I confess, to the boy who fights at my side, who smiles as if I were his sun, when every truth I hold could shatter what we have? The Heart of Dawn was supposed to save us. Instead, it revealed me. At the Academy of Eldoria, shadows slipped past ancient wards, and students fell screaming. In my desperation, I burned myself nearly to death to keep them safe. Now Kael, Calista, Thorne, even little Vivi, they fight beside me, yet I wonder how long they'll stay once they learn the whole truth. This is not a tale of chosen heroes. It is a tale of a cursed girl who wields light with shaking hands, and who loves with a heart chained in shadow.

The Guardian and the Soulbearer by KaiiNovels

He was sent to bring her to her death. But somewhere along the way... He forgot how to let her go. In the kingdom of Velmora, rebellion hides beneath silks and shadows. A dying Queen. A prophecy long buried. And a girl who doesn't yet know that fate has already claimed her. Lyana has always kept her head down, her hands in the soil, and her past buried deep. But when masked men come for her in the night, everything she's ever known is ripped away. She doesn't know why they're hunting her. Only that the man who saves her-gruff, unreadable, dangerous-is no savior at all. Kael was supposed to be a knight. Loyal. Silent. Obedient. But he's also a son with a secret. A prince declared dead. And the girl he's been sent to capture may be the key to bringing his mother, the Queen, back from the dead. Now they're on the run, bound by a prophecy neither of them believes in and a growing bond neither of them wants. But the deeper they go, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because Lyana isn't just a girl with strange gifts. She's the last Soulbearer. And to awaken the Queen... She may have to die.

A fantasy romance filled with action, loyalty, slow-burn tension, and the question that binds them all: Can love bloom in the shadow of a blade?

Veil of Thorns ( Book 1 ) by SweetSafeHaven

In a world split between light and shadow, humans live unaware of the Veil-a barrier that separates their world from one ruled by the Fae. For centuries, the Veil has held strong. But when Kaelin Duskthorn, heir to the Shadow Court, crosses it on a rogue mission to reclaim stolen fae magic, he doesn't expect a mere human to stand in his way. Arwen Vale, a half-human, half-fae raised in secret, unknowingly holds the key to a relic that could destroy both courts and collapse the Veil. She's sarcastic, guarded, and lives by rules she's made to survive the human world. Kaelin is cruel, calculating, and bound by a prophecy that claims his downfall will come from "a girl with blood between stars." Their paths cross violently-literally. Kaelin tries to kill her; she stabs him with a knife enchanted by his enemies. But their connection only deepens as fate, betrayal, and hidden desires begin to unravel the truth: they are bound by a forbidden soul-thread. As tensions rise between the Light and Shadow Courts, Arwen and Kaelin must navigate a war they didn't start, secrets they weren't meant to know, and an attraction that could ruin them both. Enemies by blood. Lovers by curse. And only one can survive the breaking of the Veil.

The Lycan's Bargain by anjay_writess

"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025
