In the frozen wastes of the North, a series of Civil colonies fall victim to mysterious forces. Colonists disappear without trace and entire towns are left abandoned and in ruin. When fate intervenes, a young woman is thrown into a world of mystery and danger after teaming up with an agent of the Civil's armed forces to investigate the recent disappearances. 

And after the death of the Grand Chamberman's son, two of the most powerful families in all of Zaedath are cast into a deadly clash. With half of the Chambers in conflict, whispers of deceit and murder soon rise from within. Kaliyah Zoudkord, heir to the Zoudkord name and betrothed to the fallen son, carries a secret that threatens to destroy everything she and her family stand for and rattle the very foundations upon which the Civil was built upon while in the east, outlying nations struggle to gain influence over what remain of the Civil colonies.

Impossible to Love (Book 1 of The Starlite Heart) by ilike2write

Starlites are impossible to love. The human fell in love anyways. There is an age old story - some call it a myth, some believe it to be history. Nevertheless, the fact is that there exist three different species who look alike. First are the underwater dwellers - the nymphs. The myth says that they are cursed never to find love. They are all females and mate with humans. The humans die immediately afterwards. Second are the starlites. They live among the highest mountain peaks unreachable for humans. They can fly, and their hearts are cold as snow. They are cursed never to feel love or get loved by anyone. The third is the human race. Humans can feel love, get love, cherish it and are hence considered worthy to rule them all. The story revolves around a starlite soldier Sophia Antofurota who leaves the army to join the Guardians. The Guardians are a team of starlites who work for the humans. Neal is a manipulative, scheming human prince who offered the job to Sophia only because he is in love with her. Sophia gradually finds out that the royalty is hiding many secrets but never suspects that she can have any part to play in their schemes. Sophie's character drawing by @Lady-Emerald

The Forgotten Crown by JordanHaviland

After ten years of rebellion, pillage, and death, the civil war between humans and fae finally ended. Peace and prosperity came with the birth of the mortal country, Ellesmere. The humans were free from their fae masters. Two decades later, Morana Stavenger has made a reputation in the overpopulated city of Molwreeth. She is the only female halfling in the city, perhaps the entire country. With her snow-white hair and amber eyes, her fae blood strikes fear into all who see her. That fear is what makes her career as a thief and mercenary so easy. After being orphaned at only thirteen, Morana had no other choice but to turn to crime to survive. With the aid of her caregiver and employer, The Madame Wyvern, Lydia Stavenger, her life is now comfortable and full of coin. Until the night a mysterious man burns her life as she knows it to ash. Follow Morana through a world filled with monsters, magic, and secrecy as she's forced into a new identity in order to repay a debt to the arrogant and cruel, Jovah Windsinger. Amid her journey, she uncovers darker secrets than she could ever imagine-secrets that will make her question everything. Will Morana survive long enough to escape back to her homeland, or will the evil lurking in the shadows devour her?

Scar of Breath by RiaHuck

"May you find The Everlasting." **** In the Eastern Continent, where monsters once roamed the forests and alchemists defended the people, the Scars were born. Seven individuals with unique powers drove the monsters away and paved the way for civilisation. Centuries later, Caelum was the central power of the Eastern Continent, until the day it fell, and a power vacuum opened. An era of uncertainty arrived, and the remaining Kingdoms were left to pick up the pieces. Zephyr, the Scar of Breath, is on a path of vengeance. She enters the fighting pits of Ithlon to gain access to the King of Blissdor, his kingdom, and the treasures it holds. However, the Prince of Blissdor becomes an obstacle she never saw coming. As their friendship blossoms, she must hide her true motives, motives that could change the fate of the Continent. Kallista is the Scar of Mist, yet born in the Zakhian Kingdom, she was captured the day she revealed her powers, the day her lover was stolen from her. Now imprisoned, waiting for her execution, she knows she must escape. Not just for her own life, but the life of her unborn child. Rhiannon, the Scar of Earth, and princess of Navumia, has spent eighteen summers unable to bring forth her powers and she is haunted by the magik she does not possess. Now, as she comes of age, suitors line up at her door, and she must choose a husband. When one of her suitors turns up dead, she makes it her mission to find the killer and prove herself a worthy princess. Whilst these Scars fight for what they believe in, the Kingdom of Caelum is rising once again. Strange monsters roam its forests, and a darkness consumes the Caelum throne. And it wants more.

Soul Fire by paulgsavill

Something is rising, a power born of formless shadows. It can destroy not only the mortal shell, but eradicate the very memory of what it touches. However, a mysterious gift opposes it - a force as elusive as it is powerful. Will its fleeting strength serve Dathion in his time of greatest need? A millennium of peace has rusted the swords and dulled the readiness of the scattered races. The shining realm of Asillia maintains an ancient promise - to watch and be prepared. For they will be the first to face the stirrings of evil, just as it was a thousand years ago. In that ancient time, fires of courage kindled from the breasts of men, igniting embers of hope in the other races. Now, when that hope is needed once more, the King sends his son. Only Dathion - heir prince of Asillia - can deliver the warnings to the members of the Ancient Alliance, and convey the importance of their need. If he fails, Asillia stands alone ...
