The Princess and The Raven ✔️
On her eighteenth birthday, Guinevere was cursed to transform into a sea monster whenever the sun sets. Hidden away in a tower, she waited for her salvation.

And he's been sent here to kill her. Blessed by Nevermore, Patron of Ravens and the god of Death himself, Knox was turned into a Demigod to carry out the god's bidding whenever needed. Thanks to his powers, he was able to make money as an assassin to pay off his family debt. When someone offers him more gold than he's ever seen to kill a monster, he immediately takes the job. Only the monster is also a young Princess. A talkative one at that. Instead of murder, they strike up a deal. Knox helps her regain her throne and break the curse put on her and she pays him quadruple what he's been promised. A purely transactional and completely temporary arrangement. Except Guinevere is determined to befriend him at all costs. Despite how standoffish and unfriendly Knox seems to be. *Cover from Pinterest NOT MY OWN ARTWORK* Trigger Warning: Murder/Death and Toxic RelationshipsComplete

A Week with a Prince
❀✿𝕳𝖔𝖓𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖆𝖇𝖑𝖊 𝕸𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓✿❀ ❀✿𝕺𝕹𝕮 2022 𝕾𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖙✿❀ ❀✿@Romance Romance Reads Contest Winner-- Historical Fiction ✿❀ Prince Arthur, The Once and Future King. Sir Lancelot, his faithful First Knight. Guinevere, Arthur's promised bride. Garreth, her best friend and cousin, the son of Merlin (Myrddin), the great wizard. It sounds just like the Arthurian Legend, doesn't it? But... What if everything happened differently? What if the young Princess Guinevere was not so keen on marrying Prince Arthur, whom she met... when he came for a week-long sightseeing tour to her father's kingdom accompanied by dashing Sir Lancelot? What if she was... dressed as a knight, pretending to be a bodyguard hired for the visitors? And... What if it was 'a she', who was destined to pull the sword from the stone and thus unite the kingdoms? This is my version, a humorous retelling of the famous legend, a medieval fantasy- coming of age- romantic comedy. *This story is purposely historically innacurate, set in some parallel, fantastical Britain that is different from what it had really been in the past, even though I'm using real locations, historically confirmed battles, and the Saxons as enemies of my legendary King Arthur.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
Destiny Defied ¹
Guinevere Pendragon needs a king. A shadow from the past; a strong leader? Her hesitant friend; a fractured bond? Or loyalty; a man who's never left her side? Camelot is without a king. Guinevere is alone; only Sir Leon still stands by her side. Everyone else is gone. Ruling in grief is a challenge she thought she would face alone, but true to his word, Leon stays close, offering advice when she wants to give up. Offering friendship. Offering even a hint of... love? But then Merlin turns up; he didn't die, as Gwen had feared, and has returned. He's home in Camelot. Instead of the joy she'd expected, Gwen is struck by a startling anger. Friends don't abandon friends. Merlin is distressed- he never meant to abandon Gwen, but it seems she can't see his staying away as anything else. They'd been friends before, but maybe friendship isn't enough. Merlin is the most powerful sorcerer to walk this earth- there must be something he can do. Yet it seems no matter how hard he tries, he can't be enough. Because maybe Gwen needs something else. Someone else. Can Merlin resurrect the past for her- a dark and dangerous game? Or should the past stay in the past? As if the rising tensions within Camelot aren't enough, it seems a threat is lurking outside the kingdom. Whispers of an army led by a ghost. Time will reveal the threat is already deep within the castle- already close to the queen. It seems the past can't let go of Camelot, and with the eerie Cup of Life falling into the conflict, past mixes with future. Some ghosts are hard to bury, but maybe Gwen isn't after the past anymore. Camelot needs a new start. New leadership. New rules. The old ways versus the new. Fear. Respect. Magic. Fear alone cannot lead Camelot, respect must be earned, and magic holds an uncertain future. They'd all begun to think they were safe- but is Camelot even meant to have a future? Or is it doomed to follow the destiny of its past kings? To die- and leave them all devastated amidst its ashes.Complete

When Arthur Met Guinevere
Every king needs a queen, or so they say. Arthur has only just defeated Vortigern, so finding a queen is the least of his worries. No, first there's the long list of wrongs that must be righted, as well as rebuilding Camelot almost from the ground up. But it would seem Fate has other things in mind when his men come across the most fiery of prisoners kept high in one of Camelot's towers. A prisoner who would very much like to return to her own domain, where she is set to rule in her own right. The last thing Guinevere wants is to be wooed by a king. Especially one as ill-mannered and uncouth as Arthur. Even if a part of her does find him entertaining and so very refreshing. Fanfic based on "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword."Complete
