The Soldier I forgot by kim_sani220

A tale of forgotten love, shattered history, and a ghost who never let go. When Nia, a struggling young woman burdened by her present, stumbles upon the ruins of an ancient palace, something long-buried awakens. A suit of blackened armor, scarred by time, and a name carved into stone.. Ashen Crest. She doesn't know why her heart aches or why her dreams begin to bleed into a past she never lived. But someone remembers. Ashen Crest was once the kingdom's fiercest warrior, a loyal protector cursed to be forgotten after daring to love the royal princess.. Sani Velmora. Betrayed, erased from history, and left to wander as a ghost, his soul stirs the moment she returns in a new life. He follows her now, unseen and undead, desperate to protect the only thing that ever gave him peace: her. As Nia begins to recover fragments of a love story buried under ash and betrayal, she finds herself torn between two timelines one where she was a princess stolen by war and duty, and the present, where justice for Ashen demands a war of its own. Because loving him again might mean breaking the laws of life and death. And choosing him might cost her everything... again. ---

Blind Instincts by _Serza

*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary.

A Chronicles of the Fantasia Continent by Victor202509

Two divine sisters tore a newborn world apart-and left mortals to decide its fate. From the Creator's dream rose Aeliana, Goddess of Dawn and order, and Nyx, Queen of Shadows and possibility. Their rivalry, once a distant celestial dance, became open war. Lesser gods chose sides. The sisters descended and forged champions: the radiant Aethra and the fearsome Umbrals-masterworks so specialized that, in some gifts, they rivaled their makers. Stars went dark. The earth split. In grief and fury, the Creator bound His daughters deep beneath the world. The land took a new name: Aethelgard-the God-Prison. But their armies fought on. Seeking balance, the Creator spent his last spark to make Humanity-creatures of compassion and cruelty, capable of mediating light and shadow, and, through discipline, of climbing toward godhood itself. Apotheosis became the ultimate mortal dream. A thousand years of uneasy peace followed. Ambition broke it. The War of a Hundred Races redrew the map in blood. From the ruins rose seven powers, with fragile city-states between them. In secret, Aethra and Umbrals manipulated the living like pieces on a board. Now the stalemate frays. Old songs stir. Hidden weapons wake. Heroes and monsters-sometimes the same-move in the dark to claim a future neither goddess could foresee. Welcome to Aethelgard, where gods are buried, mortals reach for heaven, and one choice can unmake a world.

Jacques, newly crowned King of Gascony, has fought his entire life for this moment, only to find that it's trying to take everything he loves away from him.

The War We Weave (The Power Gambit Series 2 ) by el_iv_en

The Power Gambit Series 2 "Power isn't given, it's taken-play the game or be played." Vengeance is a game of patience. But in a world built on blood and betrayal, survival is the real prize. Nia Cressida Evadne Montalvo Vega was born into power but raised in exile, a forgotten daughter in a world where bloodlines dictate fate. The illegitimate child of Eleazar Vega and Barbara Montalvo, she lived in the shadows until the night everything burned; her mother was murdered, her brother Tobias was accused of patricide, and her father's empire was left in ruins. But Nia was never one to remain a ghost. She carved her own path, stepping out of the darkness not as a victim, but as a federal judge wielding the very law that once sought to erase her. With each step toward revenge, she shed the past like a serpent shedding its skin-reclaiming her true heritage as Nia Cressida Evadne Montalvo Montrevé, the daughter of the powerful but enigmatic Augustus Montrevé. A woman with nothing to lose and everything to take. But power comes at a cost, and the legacy she inherits is just as dangerous as the one she abandoned. And then came Magnus Morven Escarra Ravello. A man of cold calculations and buried fury. A strategist who turns ruin into conquest. The last of a shattered dynasty, and a reminder that in their world, power is never won alone. Bound by a common enemy, Nia and Mav forge an alliance sealed in blood and deception. But alliances built on revenge are as fragile as the war they wage. In a world of whispered betrayals and ruthless ambition, power is never given-it's taken. And the strongest survive.
