The Cursed Prince by 00reader6002

In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?

When 21-year-old Sasha Hawthorne inherits an old manor in the remote countryside, she sees it as a chance for a fresh start-a way to escape her dull, dead-end life. But Blackthorn Manor isn't just any old house. It's a crumbling relic steeped in mystery, whispered curses, and a tragic past no one dares to speak of.

The villagers warn her to leave, claiming the house is cursed. But Sasha isn't one to run from a challenge. Determined to uncover the truth about her newfound inheritance, she delves into the manor's dark history-only to awaken something ancient, something malevolent that has been waiting for her. Now, Sasha must confront chilling visions, a family legacy tainted by forbidden secrets, and a sinister force that wants more than just her presence in the manor. It wants her soul.

The Day I Live by orpheusvamp

(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods.

Only it soon becomes clear that Wickford is not the safe haven they expected. Girls begin to die, and Millie soon realizes that something sinister stalks the halls of Wickford.

The Whispering Shadows by fab_writes

When a group of four friends embarks on a weekend trip to an abandoned mansion deep in the countryside, they expect adventure, laughter, and perhaps a few scares for fun. The Hawthorne Estate, infamous for its tragic history and eerie rumors, seems like the perfect destination for Amanda, the group's thrill-seeker. But what begins as an innocent getaway quickly turns into a descent into terror. As they explore the mansion, the friends discover that the house is far more than just a crumbling relic. Locked doors, shadowy figures, and disembodied whispers hint at a sinister presence lurking within the walls. An old journal reveals a chilling tale of a vengeful spirit trapped in the house after a botched ritual centuries ago. One by one, the mansion begins to unravel their minds, exposing their fears, secrets, and weaknesses. Strange phenomena escalate, and the friends soon realize they are not just visitors-they are prisoners. The house seems alive, manipulating time and space, ensuring no escape. Tensions rise as the group fractures under the weight of paranoia and supernatural interference. When one of them disappears, the survivors must unravel the mansion's dark secrets before it claims them all. Their only chance at survival lies behind a locked door in the basement, where the origin of the curse-and the malevolent force-awaits. In a climactic confrontation, they face the horrifying truth: the Hawthorne Estate feeds on fear, despair, and betrayal. The spirit's wrath is unrelenting, and the friends must decide whether to fight or succumb to the darkness. With an ambiguous ending that blurs the line between escape and doom, The Whispering Shadows explores the fragility of trust, the weight of guilt, and the inescapable power of the past. I hope everyone will like this story ❤️✨

thanatophobia - the intense fear of death or the dying process. >< History is always repeating itself. One thing that will always be correct is that history will always repeat, like a loop, a vicious circle that never, ever ends. Unfortunate for the souls caught up in history's tangling branches, even more unfortunate for the ones that are yet to be roped in. Many people say to leave the past in the past, it is what it is, right? Not for Nova Black, not for her parents. The past is very much the present and the future. The past will continuously come back to remind them of what them and so many others have endured over the years. With dark wizards are large again and her cousin being the most hated boy in the wizarding world, Nova Black is on for a long fourth year at Hogwarts. Meeting Theodore Nott on the Hogwarts Express probably won't make it much easier. >< In which history, yet again, repeats itself and sweet Nova Black finds herself oddly infatuated with a Slytherin boy. >< ⚠️contains violence, death, strong language, sex, drug/alcohol misuse and other mature themes. >< harry potter series 4-7, 1994-1998 theodore nott x fem!oc BOOK 1 - PHILOPHOBIA BOOK 2 - ATYCHIPHOBIA BOOK 3 - THANATOPHOBIA ><

Tempris by StephieFisher

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.
