Hell Hath No Fury by SilverJayLocke

"You're heartless." "Then why don't you give me my heart back?" Welcome to Faery, a cursed world with a crumbling castle ruled by an angel driven to insanity. Here, everyone is a player in a game where the rules change fast and the prize is a crown. Hazel Thorne has always wanted to be a writer, not a cruel fae's wife. When she's offered up as a sacrifice, she's thrust into the centre of a wicked game spanning centuries. She's not in this for love- not even close. That was, until her fate became hopelessly entangled with that of the king's charming yet devious advisor. Walking the fine line between hero and villain, magic and madness, Hazel is left with one choice: kill, or be killed? She'll lose herself, but she's taking the kingdom down with her. Roses are red, but so is blood. And there is nothing more dangerous than a girl in love.

Plight of an Empire by AMEdwards

Tragedy strikes at the heart of the Rundilean Empire. A king has been murdered and the long sustained peace is threatened for the first time since the founding of the empire, generations ago. All the while, to the far north, in a desolate land known only as the Tundra, an old enemy is stirring for the first time in thousands of years. Amongst the political discord and supernatural strife, sits Audriel Pellinor, heir to the throne of the empire, who refuses to follow tradition and find a husband. This epic tale follows a myriad of people across the empire who have everything at stake in this plight. At the center of it all, Audriel struggles with the uncertainty of who she can trust as plots abound to kill her and usurp her throne. First draft completed. Will be editing hard copy now. Note, I'm in the process of adding character lists at the back of the book for any who might be confused as to who is who.
