Shadows of the Forsaken by BriebrieBuford

Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?

Fragmented | Volume 1 by Ruidafish

Who are you when your memories aren't your own? When your body isn't yours to control? Danika wakes up in a cold, sterile facility with no past, no identity-only a burning pain in her skull and a voice in her head that doesn't belong to her. The scientists call her a subject. The voice calls herself M. And the only thing Danika knows for sure is that she doesn't trust either of them. As she's thrust into brutal tests and forced to uncover the truth about herself, Danika realizes she's more than just a prisoner-she's a weapon. There's something inside her, something dangerous, and the ones who created her aren't the only ones after it. A war is brewing between those who want to control her and those who want to destroy her. However, with her mind fracturing and those she trusted turning against her, she's running out of time to choose where she stands. And the worst part? The more she learns, the more she starts to wonder... Was she ever meant to last? This story contains intense themes and is intended for mature audiences (18+). Read at your own risk.

Daughter of the Wind by MattWriting

"She steadied her breathing and stood up. It was time to keep moving. The Tormentor would find her again, but she needed distance from what she had done. The bargain had been struck; the curse had been placed. Her fate was sealed with every step she took towards the south." The Kingdom of Svaleta stands on a precipice. War is on brewing in the north, with the elven Aliri Empire funding bandit raids across the border. To the south, the ancient forest of Narandir is stirring. Strange beasts are lurking, the body count is rising, and fear is spreading. The king sits in his palace demanding apathy. In the midst of this gathering storm, Belkai Androva is smuggled across the north-eastern border. The young mage harbours a dark secret as she makes her way through the countryside, but people are starting to notice the trail of bodies left in her wake. The world is changing, and this mysterious figure may hold the key to Svaleta's survival. * This story will also be posted on Royal Road under the same title.

Idilia: The Dark Kingdom - Part 1 by LeoBojalil

A shroud of darkness descends upon Idilia, a world nestled within the vast Realm of Realis. Astra, the once-noble Crimson Knight, and high-ranking Vanamir Vice-Councilor, has shattered the very veil separating creation from the Non-Creation in his insatiable quest for power. This reckless act has unleashed a tide of malevolent energy, threatening to consume Idilia in an endless night, revealing secrets from centuries past. Hope emerges from an unexpected corner. Five Fae, seemingly unconnected by destiny but brought together by tragedy and darkness, find themselves bound by a greater purpose. Dagda, the refugee adventurer; Aeliana, the Stellar Nomad sorceress; Ashana, the enigmatic mage; Pontha, the walking statue; and Sylvan, the barbarian warlock - their paths converge. Guided by an unseen hand, they unite to form a formidable resistance. Their mission: to locate the legendary Ætheric Scrolls, which hold the key to harnessing the power of the Primordials, ancient beings who hold dominion over the fundamental forces of the universe. This power might be their only hope to vanquish Astra and quell the encroaching darkness before it extinguishes the last flicker of light in Idilia. In a desperate race against time, these unlikely heroes embark on a perilous quest, their every step fraught with danger. The fate of Idilia rests upon their shoulders, and the very balance of creation hangs in the precarious balance.

The Monster's Stratagem (Lesbian Story) by HeatherDarte

Welcome to the future, where humans no longer exist - or so the monsters want you to believe. Dawn, one of the last of her kind, is tasked every month with leaving the safety of her home to traverse across enemy infested territory in order to keep her family afloat. There is only one rule: never get caught by what lies beyond the forest borders. When Dawn breaks this rule, she comes face to face with the monster, Syrena, who she would give anything for the opportunity to kill - and the feeling is mutual. What Dawn doesn't expect is for that very same monster to later need her help. Reluctantly, Dawn must join forces with her sworn enemy in order to uncover a plot that could lead to the ruination of everyone she cares for. Along the way, she learns that there is more to monsters than she originally thought. With this growing connection between the two, Dawn is forced to come to terms with her feelings for Syrena and reevaluate everything she once thought about her. Allied enemies, twisted betrayals, and a shocking truth plunges Dawn into questioning everything she once believed in, and herself... "Everyone wants to play monsters, ensure that you become the worst." --------- Cover made by @Shadowcroft © 2023 by Heather Darte
