Lyra Ashborn has always felt different-but when she discovers she descends from the long-extinct Ashenborn bloodline, everything changes. With the power to command all four seasonal magics and the very life force of the Earth itself, Lyra becomes a target of Eldermere's ruthless High Council, who see her as a threat to their rule.
Fleeing into the dark lands of Thornwyld-a kingdom built on sacrificial blood magic-Lyra is forced to train under Queen Helena, who sees Lyra as own personal weapon.  With whispers of war stirring, Lyra must grapple with powers she barely understands, a past soaked in secrets, and her own unraveling identity.
Then Rossen, the brooding and deadly King of Death, arrives in Thornwyld. He is life's perfect opposite-his magic decays, kills, consumes. Yet the more their paths intertwine, the more Lyra realizes they are bound by something deeper than fate. Life and death are meant to destroy each other... but what if together, they could change everything?
With a mouthy cat familiar, a corrupt kingdom, a resurrected soul, and a dangerously seductive King, Lyra must navigate her new life.All Rights Reserved

Bound in Shadow by TAMorland

Book 1 in the Song of the Shadowborn series - Book 2 complete, book 3 in progress (check my profile) Lyra has lived her whole life on the edges of her village, known only as the healer's daughter. When she stumbles upon a wounded stranger in the woods, she should leave him to die. Everyone knows what the shadow-marked are: cursed, dangerous, untouchable. But against her better judgment, she saves him. Daemon has long since stopped believing in mercy. Marked by shadows and hunted for what runs in his veins, he trusts no one, least of all a stubborn healer who dares to touch the darkness written on his skin. He wants to hate her. Needs to. Yet with every moment spent in her presence, the lines between enemy and savior blur. As soldiers close in and secrets unravel, Lyra and Daemon are forced into a fragile alliance. Hatred burns into longing, and longing into something neither of them can deny. But love may be the most dangerous curse of all.

A Court of Shadows and Storms by SilverMoonQuill

The war is over. The courts are healing. But peace has never been simple in Prythian. Azriel, the Night Court's shadowsinger, has built his life on silence and secrets. His blades are steady, his loyalty unquestioned. Yet beneath the calm, his shadows whisper of hunger he has long denied-desire locked away behind walls stronger than steel. Desire he once thought was meant for Elain Archeron, the gentle light he could never truly claim. When Rhysand introduces a stranger at the High Lord's table, everything fractures. She is no courtier. No ally wrapped in silks. She is storm and steel, an Illyrian with secrets of her own-and a scent that sinks into Azriel's bones like fire. What begins as tension meant to be released, a game to burn through restraint, becomes something far more dangerous. His shadows reach for her. Her eyes dare him to stop pretending. And the bond neither of them expected coils tighter with every stolen glance, every reckless night. But Prythian is not safe. Old enemies stir in the dark, and truths buried in Windhaven's ash threaten to unravel them all. And when shadows choose, they do not let go.

Shadow and Flame | Azriel | ACOTAR by unofficalavenger3000

The daughter of Autumn, born of fire and fury but made to be quiet, compliant, perfect. Her choices were never hers. Until him. Azriel, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court. Dangerous. Distant. Off-limits. For years, they were nothing more than heat in the dark, a quiet ache neither dared name. Until one night changed everything. When secrets bloom into something irreversible, she must decide what she's willing to risk to protect a life that was never supposed to exist. A story of a girl born to burn, and a boy made of shadows. He was her shadow. She was his fire. Together, they burned.

STARPATH by reizel_adira

Lyra wanted a normal life. No wolves. No bond. No fate. Six months ago, Lyra Duskbane walked away from Ashmoor Academy, severing the rare bond that tied her to Rowan and Riven Moonsbane. She thought choosing freedom would save them all. Instead, it left her powerless, human: and haunted by a love she can't outrun. But when the Starpath opens, tearing the veil between realms, Lyra is dragged back into a war she doesn't understand. Shadows whisper her name. The Eye of Aether is watching. And a darkness older than the gods themselves is rising. To survive, Lyra must reclaim the magic she gave away-before it consumes her. But every step down the Starpath brings her closer to Rowan's fire, Riven's darkness, and Sylas's unshakable devotion. Their bond may be broken, but desire never was. This time, loving them could cost her everything. And if she fails, the Starpath will destroy her world.

Little Shadow | Azriel | ACOTAR by unofficalavenger3000

Azriel, the Shadowsinger. Silent. Steady. Made of secrets and scars. His mate, bright, fierce, and full of fire, strong enough to love every piece of him. What began with kisses and quiet promises became something far more sacred-parenthood. From first cries to sleepless nights, tantrums laced with magic and lullabies whispered in the dark-they learn, they stumble, they love. He thought he knew what love was. Then he held his son. A story of shadows and lullabies, of fatherhood and healing, of a warrior learning he was never too broken to be soft. He was their shadow. They were his light.

Blade of the North by alyyeva

The day Lyra Kahler was given an assignment by the King, she knew she'd be breaking not just one, but two promises One, to her father for never stepping into Erdonal, and second, to her childhood friend for not talking to the seer. After the enemy King Aslan erased her bloodline and rewrote history painting her family as traitors, for Lyra war is personal, she wants nothing more than revenge. Being raised in Rasfalian Military War Camp, she spends her life sharpening rage into a weapon and trying to hide the bonding magic that keeps arising inside of her. When she's forced to collaborate with an enemy prince, who may hold the answers she seeks, Lyra realised that she's nothing more than a pawn in a centuries-old game. The deeper she falls into the war's tangled web, the more she begins to question everything... including the truth about her past.

Where Light Meets Shadow by TAMorland

Beneath the cliffs of Caer-Lune, the Heartwell stirs, its ancient pulse echoing through stone and sea, calling the realms toward a reckoning.

As the truth of Thane Halric's forbidden magic comes to light, each of them must decide what they're willing to sacrifice - and who they'll become when the world is remade.

A story of balance and betrayal, of light, shadow, and the space between, this breathtaking finale brings the Song of the Shadowborn trilogy to its luminous end.

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
