Nothing stays buried forever-not secrets, not bloodlines, and certainly not power.
Lana Renard has spent her entire life being someone she was told to be. Raised in the shadows of Royal influence and trained as a quiet instrument of control, she learns early that survival depends on obedience, silence, and never asking who you truly belong to. But when she steps into Portland under a name that isn't supposed to matter anymore, everything begins to unravel.
She is the forgotten sister of Captain Sean Renard-an existence the Royal court never intended to surface-and her arrival disrupts far more than family history. When she meets Nick Burkhardt, a Grimm who refuses to play by the rules of his own kind, Lana is pulled into a world where loyalty is unstable, power is political, and trust can be fatal.
As the Royal court moves to erase what they can no longer control, Lana is forced into a war she never chose, caught between the brother who never knew her and the man who refuses to let her disappear. But the most dangerous battle she faces isn't against them-it's deciding who she becomes when no one else gets to choose for her.

FORGED IN EMBERS | HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
As the granddaughter of the Old King and the Good Queen, Laelya Maedrys always knew King's Landing would claim her one day. She arrived a widow with two infant daughters, joined her cousin's household, and saw the cost of being royal for the first time - quickly deciding she wanted no part in it. Some fates could not be outrun - and what began as an act of love for a child became something she hadn't accounted for. A crown she hadn't wanted, a king who loved her imperfectly, a secret that could have destroyed everything. All while loving Daemon Targaryen, who was never hers to claim. She was never meant to play the game. She learned to anyway - guided by dreams she prayed were wrong, hoping twenty-five years of devotion would be enough to stop it coming to pass. It wasn't, and that, perhaps, was the cruelest part.![Angels • Francis de Valois [on hold]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/259641439-256-k779092.jpg)

Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments.
Based on Season Two... In Season 2 of Shadowhunters, the Shadow World descends into chaos as Valentine Morgenstern and his Circle followers seize more power. With the threat escalating, Shadowhunters lose faith in the Clave... convinced its governing hand is weak, slow, and misguided. Facing mounting danger, Clary Fray, Jace Wayland, Simon Lewis, Isabelle Lightwood, and Alex Lightwood strike out on their own path. Loyalties fray, unlikely alliances form, and every relationship is stretched to breaking point. Fighting alongside Downworlder allies... vampires, werewolves, warlocks, and faeries... the group confronts formidable enemies and crippling personal choices. Friendships deepen, romances buckle under pressure, and long-held certainties crumble as the heroes battle to shield both the Shadow World and the mundane realm from Valentine's tightening grip. 2B: The second half of Shadowhunters Season 2 erupts in the aftermath of the New York Institute's devastating events. Shadowhunters and Downworlders reel from the fallout, and the divide between their communities deepens into open hostility. Caught in the crossfire, Clary Fray, Jace Wayland, Alex Lightwood, and Isabelle Lightwood face an agonizing choice: obey the Clave's rigid laws, or stand by their own sense of justice. As they fight to mend rifts and build a better future, they confront brutal moral dilemmas and ever-mounting threats. Meanwhile, bonds between Shadowhunters and their Downworlder friends... and lovers... buckle under the weight of distrust and political maneuvering. And into this powder keg steps Sebastian Verlac: a charismatic new Shadowhunter whose arrival will send shockwaves through every life he touches.
