In 1952 Kenya, 18-year-old Wanjiru Karanja's world shatters when British soldiers burn her village and murder her father, leaving her consumed by rage. Defying her mother's expectations of forced marriage and tribal circumcision, and the colonialists' demand for silence, Wanjiru embarks on a different path.

By day, she navigates the rigid world of a missionary compound, but by night, she secretly joins the Mau Mau rebellion, becoming a silent warrior against the British. Her resolve is tested when she falls for Jane Sinclair, a compassionate white British missionary with a haunted past. Their forbidden love blossoms amidst a brutal war, becoming a dangerous act of resistance in a society that deems their bond treason.

Hunted by an empire and rejected by tradition, Wanjiru and Jane must risk everything-not just for their love, but for freedom, for their country, and for a future that no one else dares to imagine. In the shadow of the sacred Mugumo tree, a rebel rises, fighting with a gun in one hand and a diary in the other.

Can their love survive a war for liberation, or will the fight for freedom demand the ultimate sacrifice?

Lantana by Coco_da_cat

[UNDER EDITING] Rhytdros--leader of the Gods. The ruler of the elements. He is the oldest and most powerful since the beginning of time itself. He is credited for all the prosperity of a kingdom, and no mortal knows what would happen if one were to raise his temper. Lantana knows her place. She's the monarch, the future queen of a kingdom bustling with magic and myth. She would be the most renowned and praised person in the land. Never once overcome by power or wealth, she envied her people's simple, free lives. So, Lantana runs away, into freedom, and from the throne. Years later, she is found and returned to her kingdom. Sorrow, despair, and disappointment all come with the sudden lifestyle change. Along with the negative comes a new, powerful feeling of leadership. The home Lantana is reintroduced into is nothing like how she remembers it. Taken a nasty turn for the worse, her kingdom is being wracked with disaster because of her father's mistake. She will do anything to bring back peace and prosperity to her kingdom, even if it causes catastrophe in its place. *** TW: Descriptions of violence, war, death, mild swearing, self-harm (one scene).

The Queen of Hearts meets the gilded world of Marie Antoinette. A princess with a holy Gift. A kingdom hiding a dangerous secret. And a marriage meant to bring peace to a land with a violent history of war. Eighteen-year-old Ophelia Rosiers is a princess of Rosailles, and also the heir to a holy Gift that determined the fate of her queendom centuries ago. But now with her Gift locked away, she can only hear the whispers of the Angels her people revere. As a result, her sister has been named next in line, and she is being sent to their enemy nation, Garnette, in order to marry their Crown Prince and hopefully lead their countries into an era of much needed peace. Only when she arrives, she quickly starts to suspect her betrothed is not who she dreamed him to be. Stuck in a palace surrounded by gossiping courtiers and enemies at every turn, Ophelia's friends are few. Especially when one of her handmaidens turns out to have secrets of her own, turning what Ophelia has always believed about her destiny upside down. Desperate for a distraction, she finds company with Prince Pierre-her betrothed's younger brother-who has motives of his own. When betrayal lands Ophelia as Garnette's prisoner, she realizes her whole life she has been dictated by other people's lies. With peace shattered for good and Ophelia's fate left in her own hands, she does the one thing she has left-she takes back control, even if it means turning into the very monster her enemies make her out to be.
