Chronicles of Eldoria by Mistyhxrizo

In the mystical land of Eldoria, five ancient kingdoms-Aurora, Terranova, Drakenfell, Lunaris, and Sylvanwood-are thrust into chaos when a malevolent force known as the Shadowveil awakens. The kingdoms have long been protected by powerful artifacts, each guarded by one of the royal families. However, when the Shadowveil corrupts Sylvanwood's artifact, the balance of power crumbles, threatening to plunge the entire world into darkness. Lyra, a young healer from Sylvanwood, discovers she possesses a mysterious connection to the ancient artifacts. Realizing that she might be the only one capable of purifying them, Lyra embarks on a perilous quest to unite the five artifacts and restore balance to Eldoria. Along the way, she is joined by a group of unlikely allies: Kael, a vengeful warrior from Drakenfell; Arianna, a prophetic princess from Aurora; Zane, a rogue mage from Lunaris; and Thorne, a noble knight from Terranova. As they journey through treacherous lands, facing ancient curses, and powerful enemies, the group's trust in one another is tested by hidden secrets and dark revelations. Kael is revealed to have a cursed connection to the Shadowveil, casting doubt on his loyalty. Arianna's true motive for joining the quest is unveiled-she seeks to change a prophecy that foretells her as the catalyst for the world's destruction, even if it means betraying her friends. Zane's ambition leads him to strike a deal with the Shadowveil, betraying the group for power before he realizes his mistake. The biggest twist comes when the group learns that the artifacts are not simply protective relics but pieces of a divine entity that once created the Shadowveil. The entity demands that one of them must sacrifice their humanity to contain the Shadowveil forever. Lyra, discovering her destiny as the reincarnation of the hero who first defeated the Shadowveil, makes the ultimate choice to merge with the entity, sealing the Shadowveil away but losing herself in the process.

Jewels of the Crown by heliotropegirl

Adellia has grown up surrounded by rules and regulations. She's been prepped from birth to eventually reside in the throne that has been in her family for what feels like forever. Unfortunately, her destiny is quickly approaching. Her father is dead, and her mother has only a couple of months to live according to doctors. All eyes in the castle, and kingdom, turn to Adellia expecting her to step into her mother's shoes. However, both women aren't ready to give up their lives just yet. Wanting to learn more about her kingdom, and the people of it, before she is forced into an arranged marriage and the throne for the rest of her life, Adellia ventures out into the kingdom to do just that. While there, Adellia meets a young blacksmith by the name of Faron and gets sucked into a plot that goes against her, and her mother's wishes. Will she be able to venture into the unknown, and survive out of the watchful eye of the palace? This book has sexual reference and mentions of things that could possibly be triggering to some - e.g. young motherhood and loss of a parent. This work is usually split into two parts, but I have decided to take down the second part, and consider the first part, one book for now, so I can work on the second. When the second part/book has been finished, I'll decide whether I like it as one book or to reincorporate the rest of the book to make it one. Entered in the Wattys(2020)!
