MisswithSilohat

In the radiant kingdom of Caelor, Lady Lyra of House Velithar arrives for her first visit to the royal capital — a shimmering place of gold, secrets, and long-held grudges. For generations, her family and the crown have stood on opposite sides.

When an ancient, forbidden book is unearthed in the palace archives, Lyra’s curiosity — and Prince Sylus’s arrogance — awaken a curse older than either kingdom. In a flash of violet light, invisible silken binds entwine their fates, forcing them to remain within arm’s reach. Stray too far, and the magic snaps them violently back together.

Bound by enchantment and family enmity alike, Lyra and Sylus must travel beyond palace walls to unravel the spell — before it unravels them. But as they venture through a world of whispered magic and fragile alliances, they begin to uncover secrets older than their curse...
Will their adventures prove a success? Can they overcome their family feuds?

The Academy of Shadows by jncarriere

Magic. Bloodlines. Secrets buried in shadows. The heir to the Four Kingdoms was never meant to be found. When sixteen-year-old Princess Lyra Voss arrives at the Academy of the Arcane Veil, she carries more than her royal blood-she carries a prophecy, a curse, and a legacy lost to time. The Academy promises sanctuary. Training. Answers. But its halls whisper secrets, and not all of them want her to survive long enough to hear the truth. As Lyra is drawn into a world of forbidden magic, political intrigue, and ancient power, she discovers the ruined city of Velmora-a forgotten fifth kingdom buried in myth and shadow. The more she learns, the more impossible her future becomes: a lost twin brother, a cursed crown, and the echo of a war that never truly ended. Allies become suspects. Teachers hide dangerous truths. And deep beneath the Academy, something stirs... waiting for the Queen who was never supposed to rise. If Lyra cannot unlock her gifts-and uncover the treachery buried in her bloodline-then darkness will claim not just her, but the entire realm. The first book in a sweeping four-part dark fantasy series, The Academy of Shadows is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and A Deadly Education. Enter a world of cursed thrones, forgotten cities, and one girl caught between destiny and rebellion.

THE UNSTABLE PACT by writerkayla2006

A Cursed Witch. A Captive God. An Irrevocable Bond. For years, Lyra Blackwood has been slowly dying, tainted by the ancestral Ash Curse-a slow, miserable rot that has claimed her entire lineage. Desperate for a cure, she attempts the forbidden: a volatile ritual to harness a captured entity of pure power. Instead of a cure, she finds Kaelen, the devastatingly beautiful Lord of Shadow, and accidentally binds him to her very soul. - he shouldn't like it but to be free? or to actually fall in love? The pact should be simple: her command, his power. But Lyra quickly learns the horrifying truth: the curse is not a disease, but a centuries-old Seal maintaining Kaelen's prison. By binding him, she hasn't created a cure; she's created the perfect key to his absolute freedom. Now, Lyra must survive the mounting danger-the zealous Coven Hunter pursuing them, the total collapse of her moral world, and the volatile, icy hunger that flares every time she is forced to draw on Kaelen's essence. Trapped in a lethal, intimate journey across the magical world, Lyra and Kaelen are enemies fused by necessity. Every shared breath is a violation, every touch is an electrical surge of power and resentment. But as the ancient Seal weakens, Lyra must make a choice: honor her ancestors' sacrifice and die, sending Kaelen back to the abyss... ...or choose survival, claim the god of chaos as her own, and become the supreme power the world should truly fear. The battle isn't for the world. It's for her soul the one she wants-and the Shadow she's sworn to control.

We Who Lie by toodamntired09

He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales. She believed in love, in music, in Cyril Abecassis- the second-born prince with ink-stained fingers and a wounded heart. But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.
