The Empire of Corvax brought the Kingdom of Arton to its knees, exiling its king, Konrad, and sending its prince into obscurity. Ten years after the fall of Arton, the prince, Jonathan Stafford, receives a letter from his exiled brother, sending Stafford and his family to Mt. Coronac. Konrad needs to regain his throne, but it would be tough to drive out the deadly and massive ranks of the Raven-King Kyran Corvax.
Stafford's son, Edwin, trains with Konrad's adviser and general, Lubek Beringer. Two years pass, and the Konrad's camp is peaceful. That is, until the sound of marching approaches camp. The Corvax army ambushes the camp and harms many, including the king. From there, Edwin leads the villagers to a camp next to Lake Coronac with the help of Japheth and his sister, Gwyneth.
Troubles lie ahead for the Crown Prince. And with it, war. Who will rise to the top and claim the throne? Or keep it?All Rights Reserved

The Secrets We Bury by pradabagg

*READ "How to be a Heartbreaker" AND "Kings Conquer" FIRST!* At Blackthorn University, The Revenants rule the school. Ten dangerously captivating men whose power is unmatched, they dictate who rises, who falls, and who disappears. Feared by their enemies and worshipped by everyone else, they are bound by loyalty, secrets, and a dark past. But even kings have weaknesses, and for The Revenants, it's the women who challenge their control. Some are ghosts from their past, others are new forces shaking their world, but each one has the power to unravel the carefully constructed empires they've built. In a world where love can be a weapon and betrayal is inevitable, the bonds they form threaten to destroy everything. As buried truths rise to the surface and alliances fracture, the game at Blackthorn becomes deadlier than ever. Trust is a dangerous gamble, and power always comes with a price. In the end, it's not just the secrets they've buried that could destroy them-but the people they've let in.

The Warrior and The Princess by leighjona8

In a world where kingdoms teeter on the brink of war, Princess Alina, driven by unyielding courage, and Caleth, a battle-hardened war general, find their lives entwined by duty, betrayal, and an impossible love. When Alina is forced into an unexpected fate, she becomes an unwilling pawn in the dangerous power struggles of three warring kingdoms. Caleth, consumed by his love for her is willing to risk everything to protect her, even if it means taking desperate, dangerous actions. As enemies close in and alliances crumble, Alina is torn between her feelings for Caleth and the impossible choices before her: love or loyalty, freedom or sacrifice. In this tale of passion, strategy, and resilience, the fate of three kingdoms rests in their hands-and the cost of survival may be more than either of them can bear. Will love defy the forces threatening to tear them apart, or will duty and betrayal seal their tragic fate?

A Million Whispers❤️ by BeckyMerari1909

A Million Whispers The wind carried secrets through the valleys of Velmora, each whisper threading itself into the fabric of a kingdom on the edge of ruin. It was said that if one stood still enough in the palace gardens, they could hear the voices of the past-echoes of lost loves, broken oaths, and the quiet desperation of those bound by duty. Princess Evelyne had listened to those whispers all her life, and now, as she stood on the marble balcony overlooking the gilded city, she wondered if her own voice would soon be among them. Her father, King Aldric, was a ruler of iron will and heavy expectations. The crown prince of the enemy kingdom, Kieran Valcour, had arrived at court, his presence a reminder of the treaty forged in desperation-an alliance that would be sealed with Evelyne's hand in marriage. She had always known she would be a pawn in the game of politics, but she never expected her heart to rebel against her fate. Beyond the palace walls, in the dense forests where the kingdom's heartbeat pulsed strongest, another whisper stirred. A boy with storm-gray eyes and a past he refused to remember was coming for her. His name was Rylen, and though Evelyne did not yet know him, their destinies were tangled in ways neither could foresee. War brewed on the horizon. Love, duty, and fate would collide. And in a world where a single whisper could start a war or heal a heart, Evelyne would have to decide which voices to follow-those of the past, or the call of her own soul.

Lady Mutiny by druidrose

Cassandra Cortova believes Lilia has deserted her, and is planning to marry the very man who secretly betrayed her sister. Now, Lilia must decide between her lust for vengeance and love of family as she joins forces with the dangerous and handsome man she was supposed to kill, and Cassandra must wrestle with finding the truth before it's too late.

Crimson: Throne of Blood by Fictional_Phoenix

The Crimson Throne is not won through birthright--it is taken with blood. For years, Raven Valcor has fought to reclaim his family's throne, carving his name into the battlefield with steel and fire. He is a warrior, a ruler forged in war, and the only man ruthless enough to seize the crown from the hands of traitors. At his side stands Lucan Valcor, his younger brother--the golden prince beloved by nobles and commoners alike. Where Raven commands with fear, Lucan leads with charm. Where Raven breaks his enemies, Lucan bends them to his will. Together, they are unstoppable. But in a kingdom where daggers are sharper than crowns, loyalty is never certain. And as the war reaches its final hour, the greatest threat may not come from the battlefield--but from the shadows where no one dares to look.
