In 1800s Britain, the atmosphere was ripe for someone with an appetite for young aristocrats; no one would even raise an eyebrow at such affairs, especially for a host who threw extravagant balls and galas every other week, indulging his every whim. His hunger would be continually sated-until he met her.

Power wears many faces. Magic is just one of them. When a sickly noble heir stumbles upon a strange gift - the ability to see through the veil of power. He sets out to rebuild his crumbling house, not with sword or spell... but with silver, strategy, and secrets. But in a Kingdom where strength is currency and weakness gets buried, Cael Varissen must learn fast: wealth is fragile, war is inevitable, and magic? It's far older and hungrier than anyone cares to admit. What if the most dangerous magic wasn't in spells, but in shrewd business deals... and dangerous alliances of the heart? In a world where political ambition, economic strategy, and forbidden desires hold as much sway as any ancient power, every alliance comes with a price. This is the heart of House of Ash and Gold. ... What to expect: Slow-burn political fantasy with teeth Layered worldbuilding A subtle, mysterious magic system Romance threaded through ambition What NOT to Expect: Instant overpowered MC Fast-food pacing Harem or shallow romance One-note villains Endless exposition dumps

Roses for Rachel by Shelby_Painter
46 parts Complete
I was sure the worst thing to ever happen to me would be being kidnapped, and sure, that was pretty bad. However, what was worse was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either. Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never even dreamed existed in my wildest dreams. It was a world that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have the luxurious life of a princess, but there were only two catches... 1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side. 2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.
