In a kingdom where power is drawn from the stars, a princess without magic is more than a disappointment, she is a danger. Brynn Quorra was born to inherit the Wind-Tossed Palace, but by nineteen, the stars have given her nothing. To secure the future of the realm, the king calls for the Royal Trials, a competition to crown a champion worthy of her hand and strong enough to rule in her place. When Mathias of the House of Weeping Stars rises above every contender, his power undeniable and his destiny seemingly written in the heavens, the kingdom rejoices. But for Brynn, the celebration marks the quiet end of a life she never had the chance to choose. Bound to a man shaped by prophecy and power she cannot share, she must face a future where her crown is secure, but her place within it is anything but.

Northward (ONC 2025)
A woman wakes up in the middle of a forest, remembering everything except her name. One thought drives her-she must get home. - Two years ago, Haylen Fayes watched his sister dissolve into blue mist. No Death Dreame has come since, so he knows, with the deepest certainty, that she is alive-at least for now. But with the Principality of Marok the Third banning unregulated divination, he turns to illegal sources for answers. As disappearances rise and Peacekeepers crack down, Haylen must leave the principality sooner than planned. - Now calling herself Lynnette, the woman feels an irresistible pull north-where the Otherlings dwell, and humans are unwelcome. As she travels ancient roads, unfamiliar memories resurface, but she knows not of their significance - not yet. - As the siblings search for each other, they realise that the disappearances were no accident. From golden fire snaking across skies to the haunting song in the winds, everything leads back to the nature of the blue mists. And, at the heart of it all, lies a living mechanism that has slept for two thousand years. Now, it's waking up. **Prompts used: 12 and 93** Credit to @Heuristic_Hashmath for the amazing coverComplete

Colton O'Bryan was a boy who lived with his step-mother his entire life, pondering about his mother's death, and why a single evidence wasn't left for him to keep. His father would only tell him he looked like her... but Colton knew that was never enough. His story began as he stepped foot into the Camp. Annnabeth Candum was a troubled girl. She locked herself up in a room with books and no idea on how to control her curse outside a metal bracelet that, even ironically a metal, restrained her powers. One problem was enough to make her jump into a portal, and once she stepped foot into the medieval world, the Staff of Light blazes to life. And all she knew she had to protect it from the killer who, from the start, awaited for that precious moment.Complete
