The Coldest Heart by Ji-minniee

Once, she was an open book. Now, Alia is a fortress of ice, built brick by brick with every betrayal she's endured. After being used and broken, she escapes to Seoul, reinventing herself as the "perfect girl"-a calculated, cold-hearted force who wants nothing to do with love. But her past is a shadow that follows, and her carefully constructed walls start to crack when she meets him. He is a man of secrets, a creature of primal instinct living in a world of humans. He came to this land for a reason shrouded in ancient pacts and old bloodlines, and he is as detached from human emotion as she is. Yet, the moment their eyes meet, a forbidden spark ignites. He is drawn to her impenetrable heart; she is terrified by the unknown emotions he awakens. As her past enemies resurface and his own world threatens to collide with hers, Alia must confront the ultimate question: Can a cold heart learn to love a cold-blooded one? Or will their fragile connection shatter, leaving her lost in the darkness forever?

The Archive of Whispers by Omnionin

In a city built on a foundation of lies, one archivist will uncover a forbidden history that could bring it all to ruin. Renna Vesta's life is as ordered and quiet as the dusty halls of the Scriptorium she calls home. As a junior archivist in Veridia's most powerful institution, she is tasked with preserving a history she's always been told is sacred and absolute. But when she discovers a forbidden Memory Fragment-a dangerous magical relic containing the raw, unfiltered emotions of a long-erased past-her world is shattered. This isn't a magical curiosity; it's a political document. The fragment holds a forbidden truth: a powerful love between two women, one a noble and the other an artist, was not the cause of a city-shattering magical cataclysm known as the Sundering. The event was a meticulously orchestrated political purge, a lie woven into the city's very fabric to demonize queer love and justify the ruling class's tyrannical control. Now, hunted by the Scriptorium's ruthless leader, Elias Thorne, Ren must race to uncover the rest of the conspiracy. With the help of her loyal but terrified colleague Finn, and a defiant art restorer named Elara, whose own family secrets are tied to the lost history, Ren delves into the city's dangerous underbelly. Her journey is a perilous dance through a world of secrets and betrayals, a quest for justice that mirrors the very history she is unearthing. As her feelings for Elara grow, their own love becomes a quiet act of rebellion-the living proof that truth is the most powerful magic of all.

Deck of Fate by lexyjean

Elora walks into the Assembly knowing full well that her chances of becoming anything other than a powerless Club, her family's symbol, are close to zero, and she is grateful for it. She has no desire to become a Diamond, with their supernatural intelligence, or a Heart with elemental magic, or Gods forbid, one of those pretentious special-powered Spades. She has always been resigned to serving the symbols she loathes, hoping to escape poverty and provide a better life for her mother. But when the Assembly brands her as a Spade, Elora's world is upended. Thrust into a deadly training base where survival is a test of will, she must navigate a world of privilege and power while grappling with her own prejudices. Rhiya Evergreen, Elora's best friend, has long dreamed of escaping Umbralyn, their shared city of the powerless. When assigned to serve one of the most prestigious families in Arcana, she believes she's found her way out. But her newfound life of luxury comes at a cost, as she uncovers dangerous secrets that threaten to shatter everything she thought she wanted. As Elora and Rhiya's paths diverge, they must navigate the truth about their society, their symbols, and themselves. When the Clubs disappear and Arcana's fragile balance of power starts to crack, Elora and Rhiya must choose between embracing their new roles or dismantling the system that defines them.
