A princess haunted by her past. Also a mage in a kingdom that hates magic. 

Things with princess Celeste Elara Amryn have never been easy. Especially since she's a mage. It's only been three years since escaping the wrath of her father, the king, and she's still reeling from what she was forced to do. But now her mother, the queen, and her sister, the crown princess, are sick with an illness the healers can't fix. So, when Elara gets landed with a possibility that could save her family, she takes it. Even if it means teaming up with a mage who has his own mysterious reasons for helping.

But saving  her family means Elara has to face her past and what she's done, hopefully before it's too late.

The Briar Throne by Victor202509
4 parts Ongoing
In a vampire empire shrouded in eternal night, the law is a weapon wielded by the aristocracy to cement their power. Elara, a orphan girl condemned to death for knowing too much, saves herself on the executioner's block through a shocking mastery of the empire's own legal codes. She possesses a mysterious and potent power within her blood-an intoxicating scent of roses that can sway wills and command loyalty, marking her as a dangerous variable in the eyes of the regime. Fighting to survive, Elara is forced to navigate the deadly power struggle between a sadistic Crown Prince, an inscrutable Emperor, and his ambitious younger brother. Her path converges with that of Kaelen, a hardened warrior from an oppressed lycanthrope clan. From mutual distrust, they form an uneasy alliance that slowly evolves into something more, becoming the fragile heart of a burgeoning resistance. But Elara soon uncovers that the empire's corruption is merely a facade for a far more ancient and terrifying threat slumbering beneath the world. The very legal tome she used to save herself may hold the key to preventing an apocalyptic awakening. As revolution ignites, she must walk a razor's edge between vengeance and justice, questioning whether she is destined to be the realm's savior or its newest tyrant. The fate of the world hinges on her choices, and the price of a new dawn may be everything she holds dear.

She was never meant to survive. The kingdom was drenched in blood the night the palace burned, when its heir vanished, its loyal guard betrayed, and darkness took root where light once lived. No one spoke her name again. No one believed she could return. But magic remembers what the world forgets. Now, the lost girl walks unknowingly among the ruins of her legacy. Shadows follow her. Secrets stir beneath her skin and two men are bound by choices forged in the fire of her past. What if the boy who once fled beside her now guards her from the shadows, watching with a blade in one hand and a secret in the other? What if the one sent to destroy her is the only one who truly understands her? This tale is not only about royalty lost and reclaimed, it is about memory, trust, and the fragile line between duty and desire. It is about the quiet resilience of a girl shaped by grief and the power of a choice made in the darkest hour. This is not a fairytale. This is a reckoning. In a world where loyalty is lethal and love is a weapon, Elara must choose who to trust: the boy who once bled for her... or the prince who haunts her dreams and tastes like danger. There will be blood. There will be betrayal. And there will be a queen.
