Cursed by darkness, he is a knight feared by all-his touch withers, his shadow devours.
Hunted for her bloodline, she is the last of her kind-too powerful to live, too precious to die.

Their paths should never have crossed.
Yet fate binds them together on a journey through fire, ash, and secrets best left buried.

In a world where love can be as dangerous as any curse, one question remains:

will they destroy each other, or will they be the salvation neither dared dream of?All Rights Reserved

Fayre by Nikkireadw

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."

The Forgotten Flame: A Shalkira Story by KiaraHobby

Book One of the Listening Flame Series In a village that fears her very existence, sixteen-year-old Shalkira-a quiet girl born part-cat, part-magic-lives hidden away with seven siblings in a cottage whispered to be cursed. But when a stranger knocks at their door with promises of a magical school and truths untold, Shalkira's fragile world begins to unravel. As secrets stir in the walls and ancient forces awaken, Shalkira finds herself trapped in a place where illusions bend reality-and where her very identity may be the key to everything. Guided by a watchful fox spirit and haunted by the voice of a house that listens, she must confront buried memories, unravel layers of deception, and choose who she wants to become. But something is hunting her from the shadows-something that remembers her better than she remembers herself. And some flames... are not so easily extinguished. BETTER DISCIPTION: Sixteen-year-old Shalkira has always been different-part human, part cat, and completely misunderstood. Raised in a spooky, half-forgotten cottage with seven siblings and an old man who knows more than he lets on, her life is quiet. Strange. But safe... until a mysterious stranger knocks on their door with promises of magic and danger. Now, whispers from the walls, a school that might not even exist, and a fox spirit watching her dreams drag Shalkira into a world where illusion and memory blur.

Vitality (Vitality Series #1) by Crysta_levere_author

A violent passion. A dangerous bond. A nightmare that will change everything. To Ava, love is about as real as fairytales. But it might be that fairytales, myths, and magic have some truth to them after all - as well as the monsters that lie in the shadows. Or she could just be completely out of her mind. After a mental breakdown and a move to a new town, everything changes when Ava clashes with a stranger with eyes as black as midnight and a terrifying sinister air. Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire - something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world. She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death. What does it take to live? What does it take to love?

Red's Wolves by druidrose

Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023

The Offering by megan_rose_writes

Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.

Death's Shadow, Life's Thread by KT_Threadweaver

For years, the city has feared magic, but The Cleansing's killing spree against magicals ignited full-scale unrest. Though Zara, a necromancer, and Kage, a shadow-wielding detective, stopped him, The Cleansing became a martyr, fueling the rise of the Sovereign Order, a group bent on erasing magicals. As tensions rise, a new horror emerges-people found drained of life, their blood drawn from their bodies. The city fears Bloodspawn, but when Kage and Zara track him down, they find Malrick, a terrified orphan with rare Bloodborn magic-a power feared even among magicals. He never meant to kill, but without control, he's dangerous. And the Sovereign Order wants him dead. Determined to help him master his power, Zara and Kage take Malrick in, but as more magicals vanish and the Order tightens its grip, they must ask: Can Malrick be saved, or will his magic ignite a war? A story of magic, redemption, and found family, Death's Shadow, Life's Thread explores the fine line between destruction and salvation-and what it truly means to be feared.

Crescent | SAMPLE by TheConfusedTurtle

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.
