Born into chains, Lyra has learned silence is safer than hope. She hides her fire behind obedience, her past behind quiet eyes - until the heir of the estate, Joshua Vale, returns from the capital with cruelty in his voice and questions in his heart.

He is everything she should fear - sharp, entitled, dangerous - yet something in her unbreakable calm stirs a curiosity he cannot name. For a fleeting moment, he falters. But when softness feels too much like weakness, Joshua retreats into brutality, trying to bury the strange warmth she awakens in him.

As rebellion brews beyond the manor walls and whispers of freedom spread among the enslaved, Lyra finds herself at the center of a choice that could cost her life. Framed for a crime she didn't commit, she risks everything to set the others free - and in doing so, forces Joshua to face the truth he's spent his whole life denying.

Their fates are bound by fire and consequence.
And when the chains finally break, one of them won't survive the dawn.All Rights Reserved

Now she's cursed - her touch doesn't mend, it reveals. Pain. Secrets. Death. When a wounded royal soldier named Kael is brought to her, she swears to keep her distance.

WHISPERS OF EMBERLIGHT by TheGirlWhoWritesRain

Magic was banned in Elarion long before Lyra Vale was born - but the power in her blood refuses to die. Hidden deep in the woods, she heals in secret, trading pieces of her life to save others. Each touch costs her a year, a memory, a heartbeat. And yet she cannot stop. When a wounded soldier collapses at her door, Lyra breaks her one rule: never heal a stranger. But Kael Draven is no ordinary man. His heart carries a curse - one that silences all emotion and devours anything close to love. As war brews and old gods stir beneath the earth, their fates become entwined - one born to heal, one cursed to feel nothing. But love has a way of rewriting even the cruelest destinies.

Magic Made Me Do it by MelaninMagik

They say witches shouldn't interfere with mortal lives. Peyton Rowe never learned how to listen. When a teenage boy lies dying from a senseless shooting, Peyton breaks one of the oldest magical laws-the Witch's Rede-and heals him. But saving a life comes with a cost. His reckless act exposes forbidden power, draws the attention of his mentor, and awakens something dark that has been sleeping beneath the world. Now hunted by both the Conclave and a rising Coven of Malice, Peyton is thrust into a dangerous journey that spans worlds-guided only by his flawed magic, his defiant heart, and the two men who challenge his destiny: Alex, the former doctor who fears healing more than death itself. Khari, the mystical ruler of a hidden African realm whose faith in Peyton burns brighter than his crown. As Hellhounds prowl, gods whisper, and forbidden spells unravel reality, Peyton must face the truth he's long denied: he is heir to the First Mages and bound to the Spark-the source of all creation. But with power comes sacrifice, and when the people he loves are cursed with death, Peyton is forced to make an impossible choice between fate and feeling, love and loss, salvation and sin. Magic can heal-or it can ruin you. And for Peyton Rowe, it might just do both.

Crimson Reign by RereElle

The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth. -African Proverb- Lyra Vale was supposed to die. Her family was executed for treason for her faults, her name wiped from the noble registry, her future erased. But Lyra survived, an orphan-and in exile, she learned how to destroy an empire. Ten years have passed, she returns with fire in her hands and vengeance in her heart, leading an army fueled by blood and rebellion. City by city, she tears down the kingdom that betrayed her. The people call her the Crimson Witch. The crown calls her a threat. Commander Darian has killed for the kingdom he serves. He is the sword his king wields with ruthless precision. Yet when Lyra is captured something begins to fracture inside him. For the witch he's supposed to hate is not the monster he's been told. It's not about needing to be saved-it's about what happens when even the strongest are pushed past their limit.

A Heart Untamed by kaycat_writes

Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.

I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems.

Beneath the Crest by bychiaraye
