The Ghost Between Us by FaizahM24

Elsie's life ends-or so it seems-when a sudden accident leaves her in a coma. Aria is left behind, drowning in guilt, sorrow, and a world that suddenly feels... haunted. Ghosts linger, memories twist, and the line between reality and the unseen begins to blur. As Aria navigates grief, visions, and the desperate hope that Elsie might still return, she discovers that love, loss, and second chances are never as simple as they seem. A heartbreaking, haunting story of two souls intertwined, where darkness meets light-and maybe, just maybe, a happy ending is possible.

Ashes of Midnight by crypticquill_io

When Aria saves a wounded vampire in the dark woods outside her village, she doesn't expect him to bleed secrets older than the world-or to know her name like a curse he's spoken before. Lucien is dangerous, hunted, and full of half-truths. But the more Aria learns, the more she's forced to confront a terrifying truth: she isn't just a healer with a sharp tongue and a knife in her boot-she's the reincarnated flamebearer who once sealed away a monster built from memory and blood. Now, that monster has awakened. With an uneasy alliance between a broken vampire, a haunted wolf shifter, and a girl who used to be a legend, Aria must unearth a power she no longer remembers before the ancient war she once ended starts all over again. Because the past isn't dead. It's *just waiting*.

The Cursed Prince by 00reader6002

In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?

THE BROKEN CROWN by merrycherry

The night the kingdom of Elaria burned, the stars hid behind smoke and sorrow. Princess Isabella watched flames devour the world she had always known-her home, her people, her family. The roar of battle drowned the lullabies of her childhood, and the clash of steel stole away the innocence she had once carried like a fragile crown. And at the heart of the chaos stood Adrian. Not the mysterious stranger who had once stolen her heart in the town streets, but the ruthless general of Draven, leading the assault with unyielding fire in his eyes. His sword cut down her guards, his orders shattered her gates, and his betrayal pierced her heart deeper than any blade. That night, Isabella's world ended. Her parents fell before her eyes. Her kingdom was lost. Her heart, once soft and unguarded, was broken beyond repair. But she survived. From the ashes of grief, she made a different kind of vow: never again would she be trapped in a life she could not control. She would flee, escaping the ruins of her past to find safety and a chance to live. Not as a warrior seeking vengeance, but as a soul seeking survival, a life reclaimed from the shadows of loss. And though she did not know it then, destiny would one day bring her face to face with the man who had destroyed her life. The man who would become both her greatest enemy... and the one love she could never escape.
