In a fictional world of Russia and magic, a young woman is captured by an immortal god. 

Marya is the last koldunya, a powerful sorceress lineage that was decimated by the hatred in her land towards magic. With most of her family killed in the mage purges, she is raised by her uncle, Aloysius,  away from civilisation. Aloysius is cruel and bitter, and wishes one day for Marya to deal justice to those that took away their heritage. Over the years, Marya's only friend is beautiful Vasilisa, whom she created by transforming one of the swans at the lake by her home. 

One summer, a prince comes riding through the woods. Siegfried is the son of Marya's enemy king, the man who ordered her, and her family, killed. When the trio strike up an unlikely friendship, their worlds begin to crumble. When Siegfried tries to find out the truth about Marya and Vasilisa, he unleashes an immortal god named Koschei, who has been imprisoned for over ten years.  

Koschei wants revenge on the child that humiliated him by defeating him in battle. Except, the child is no longer a child: her name is Marya Morevna, and they have more in common than he ever expected.

The Spark That Ignites the Dawn is a fantasy tale using elements of Russian folklore and a retelling of Swan Lake.

A Dance Of Crowns & Thrones | Book I by AWriternamed-ANA
167 parts Ongoing Mature
This book is for those who love slow-burn, chaotic, "how can they be that stupid," "about bloody time," wrench-your-heart-but-make-you-feel-so-good romances. Because what's life without a bit of drama, right? Throw in epic chaos, a princess on the run, and some evil bad guys (because every story needs a villain), and you've got a book that will keep you knee-deep in drama. If you've come here looking for your traditional synopsis, read on, my lovely readers. And if what you really crave is a mix of whump, smut, and rom-com with a side of catastrophe, then look no further-I've got you covered. __________________________________________________________________________ Proper Synopsis When a devastating attack reduces her home to ruins, Princess Sera's only option is to flee. Seeking refuge on Earth, she meets Matthew, the cocky, confident leader of the Allegiant Academy. Little does she know that the man she's starting to fall for is the same person who wields immense power-the one she dubbed 'Ace' and has been her bitter enemy since childhood. But hey, that's not exactly first-date material, is it? Nobody kicks it off with, "Oh, by the way, I have an alter ego who's a fiend-fighting, blood-killer type that hunts savages for sport." Right? As Sera tries to keep her princess status and crystal warrior identity under wraps, she throws herself into becoming someone else. After growing up in war, happiness doesn't just return-it sneaks up on you, like plants pushing through cracked concrete. But when her past comes knocking, threatening to undo everything she's painstakingly rebuilt, she'll quickly learn that truth has impeccable timing-and her destiny has the absolute worst habit of showing up when she least expects it. But seriously, what did she expect? When it comes to life, destiny, and fate, it's never really in our hands, is it? _______________________________________________________________________________

(Book 1 in The Other Worlds Series) ***2016 FCRA's Wondrous Worlds Winner and a Wattpad Featured Story!*** ***A science fiction retelling of Beauty and the Beast*** As Paragon of her planet Terra, Odette understood what her duties included - intergalactic diplomacy, flight and defense training, and the knowledge and understanding of each alien race in the universe, friendly or otherwise. With the rogue tyrant leader of the planet Anur, Comae, threatening a path of destruction, she found herself on assignment to Earth, a planet she had a connection to in the past. Passing as a human girl, her mission was to get close the President of the United States...and she found a way when she met his son. Duke Mitchell was used to the cameras on him at all times, being the son of one of the most powerful men on Earth. With a new girl shaking up his world, he found himself falling head-first, especially with her fascination of random things, like sunsets through the autumn leaves and libraries filled with books. It wasn't until he learned her true identity that he, along with the rest of the world, realized they really weren't alone in the universe. When Earth fell into chaos, Odette and Duke were separated by both space and time - years passing for Duke, changing him into a scarred, beastly man, but only moments for Odette. When her ship was taken down by his forces in the ruins of New York City, Odette was captured and held captive, though friends from her time spent on Earth before made it more bearable.

The Witchline by Abbbbb89
33 parts Complete Mature
A generation of witches emerged in a world where two factions, the Druids and the Witches, held power over the Earth and its elements. Gifted with the ability to harness the powers of Light and Dark, they dedicated themselves to honoring the Goddess Mother and the natural world. They celebrated life, abundance, and the cycles of nature through festivals and rituals. The Goddess Mother blessed two witches with extraordinary power, one with Light and the other with Dark, and bestowed upon them a book containing all the spells necessary to honor her. With this book, they could even cheat death itself. However, they were forbidden from using their powers for evil. Meanwhile, the Druids delved into the dark side of nature, making pacts with gods of the afterlife who demanded blood sacrifices. The Elder Druid, consumed by envy, plotted to steal the witches' power. Spreading lies about their wickedness to mortals, the Druids convinced them that only witch burnings could lift the curse. The Elder Druid's greed knew no bounds, and he sought the Goddess's book, whispering more falsehoods about the witches. Fear gripped the land, and countless innocent men and women were burned at the stake until the witch hunts finally ceased in the late 17th century. The two High Strega, the last of their kind, devised a plan to protect their magic and revive the Witchline. The Goddess revealed a prophecy: when a daughter of Dark and a son of Light possessed the book, the Witchline would be restored. They separated, hiding their true power and passing the book from one High Strega to another across generations. Until now...

I'm sorry, I need this for my S.G.E desired reality- Basically this is a story with Hort x Female Ever. She's the daughter or Odette and Derek from the Swan Princess. She falls in love with Hort, very slay. If you like Hort, read it! I'm in the middle of reading the first book at the moment, so I might go back and edit this story as I read the book. I have seen the movie multiple times though, so there might be a little mix with information from the books and the movie. This si going to be very messy, but I'll try to structure it. Also, I removed Agatha and Sophie. I'm very sorry, I truly do love them, but I want to be the main charcater and Hort loves Sophie, so that wouldn't work. (I think I'm going to make another one with Hort x Female Never, because being a Never is insanely cooler than being an Ever, I'm sorry, but this comes from an Ever. It just looks much more fun.)
