An Oath Sworn.
A Struggle Engaged.
A Sacrifice Required.
When Mara, a trained Oathtaker, is drawn by the scent of the Select to battle underworld beasts summoned by powers of evil to destroy the guardians of life, she swears a life oath for the protection of her charge. Armed with a unique weapon and her attendant magic and with the aid of her Oathtaker cohorts, two ancients and a spymaster, Mara seeks safety for her charge from one who would end Oosa's rightful line of rule and from assassins who endeavor to bring ruin to the land.
As Mara puzzles to decipher ancient prophecy concerning her charge, as she is haunted with memories of her own past failings, she discovers the price her oath will exact.
To renounce her word would be treasonous; to fail, ruinous; to persevere, tortuous.
Abiding by an oath requires sacrifice.All Rights Reserved

When Elara, a young wanderer searching for purpose, awakens Oswin, a long-forgotten knight bound to bone and oath, their fates become entwined in a mystery older than the kingdoms themselves. Haunted forests, cursed villages, and mountains carved by storm and time test their courage as they uncover traces of a hidden power and the shadow of a sorceress who once betrayed the light. Alongside Mara, a sharp-witted healer with secrets of her own, they must confront forces that blur the boundary between magic and memory. But as ancient echoes awaken and darkness stirs once more, Elara begins to realize that her connection to this rising threat runs deeper than she ever imagined. The Sorcerer's Bonebound Ally is an epic fantasy of courage, legacy, and the bonds that outlast death. Where every secret unearthed brings the past one step closer to reclaiming the living.

Celestial Shadows by EllaGance25

She was never meant to survive. The kingdom was drenched in blood the night the palace burned, when its heir vanished, its loyal guard betrayed, and darkness took root where light once lived. No one spoke her name again. No one believed she could return. But magic remembers what the world forgets. Now, the lost girl walks unknowingly among the ruins of her legacy. Shadows follow her. Secrets stir beneath her skin and two men are bound by choices forged in the fire of her past. What if the boy who once fled beside her now guards her from the shadows, watching with a blade in one hand and a secret in the other? What if the one sent to destroy her is the only one who truly understands her? This tale is not only about royalty lost and reclaimed, it is about memory, trust, and the fragile line between duty and desire. It is about the quiet resilience of a girl shaped by grief and the power of a choice made in the darkest hour. This is not a fairytale. This is a reckoning. In a world where loyalty is lethal and love is a weapon, Elara must choose who to trust: the boy who once bled for her... or the prince who haunts her dreams and tastes like danger. There will be blood. There will be betrayal. And there will be a queen.

Bound by blood magic and a contract no one dares break, Seraphina is dragged into a world of violence, secrets, and shadowed loyalty. Dorian rules with silence and steel. He doesn't do love. He doesn't do mercy. But he does want her-and that want is dangerous. As war brews between rival houses and something ancient stirs beneath the streets, Seraphina discovers that Dorian's oath isn't just to the syndicate-it's to something darker. And the only thing more dangerous than falling for a man like him... is being the reason he breaks his vow.

CHAOS ||✓||•Unedited•|| by August_BlackHeart

Underestimated... That is what I have been almost all my life just because I am a female, a woman, a lady... but I understand... this world is filled with egotistic and chauvinistic men that need to be taught a lesson and I am more than happy to do so... My life has never been all fun and roses... I still had my mum and brothers but it will never be the same without my father. I may be of age. Far past the finding your mate age but that doesn't mean I am in a hurry to get a mate not that I don't want one. I do but I'm just not in a hurry. But the goddess and fate as always did the exact opposite of what my heart desired... they brought my mate to my doorstep and I took it with a determined heart but I was in for a surprise. My mate wanted another yet he didn't want to let me go. He wanted to eat his cake and have it. Forgetting that life doesn't work that way. He welcomed me into his home and pack with a happy face yet I was being disrespected, ridiculed and pitied behind my back. I may act ignorant but I'm no fool. I like to plan my actions before I take it so that I would be well prepared for the consequences that may follow. And as usual my new pack comes first before my needs but that doesn't stop me from showing my mate that he messed with the wrong bitch. Because I was named CHAOS for a reason. I am going to tear into his conscience and torment the living daylights out of him for I may be a bitch. But I am nobody's bitch...

Help Me Carry Him by ElmaZehraRizvi

The cosmos cracked when the first great light fell. When Lucifer, the Morning Star, traded his celestial throne for the dust of a broken world, a gaping shadow was left in God's heart. To mend it, the Father plucked a perfect rose, breathed life into it, and called her Elisheva, "My God is an Oath." She was the replacement, the flawless answer to an unimaginable rebellion. But as the new Archangel took her place, her gaze was drawn not to the glory of the heavens, but to the burning ambition still visible in the eyes of the beautiful, self-exiled demon. Her oath was to God. Her obsession became the fallen star. Millennia passed. Prophecies twisted. And finally, driven by a love neither divine nor corrupt, Elisheva stood on the precipice of judgment, staring down the ruined majesty of Lucifer. The war for his soul had not ended with his fall; it had merely begun. And now, to save him from a fate worse than eternal exile, she was prepared to commit the ultimate heresy, whispering the impossible command into the roaring silence: "Help Me Carry Him Away."
