adventure celtic feminist heroic medieval romance

Since the day she was born, the Lady Eithne of Dolgallu has lived under a magical prohibition: she may not marry before the omens are deemed favorable.
    
    Now, after a harrowing journey to the most sacred place in the Five Kingdoms, the mysterious priests and priestesses of the powerful Drymyn Order have pronounced the omens favorable, and her wedding to King Eowain of Droma has been arranged.
    
    But Eithne has the right to accept-or reject-her suitor.
    
    She did not set this geas upon herself, didn't ask for the special attention of the Gods to her love-life. Yet the time for her decision has come.
    
    Eowain has proven himself loyal, brave, kind-all the things any woman might ask from a man.
    
    But there's the way of it: "This is the man, you must marry him." Is she not a free woman? Was she not guaranteed the right of choice?
    
    Eithne is frustrated by the expectation that she will simply acquiesce to her fate, that she must accept that the Gods wove some secret pattern for her life and she can do nothing to stop it.
    
    So how can she prove she has the freedom to choose if she doesn't choose, "No"? How can she know for herself that her will is truly her own if she consents?All Rights Reserved

BOUND (#1, of Crows and Thorns) by AvaLarksen

[THIS STORY WILL BE TAKEN DOWN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2024] She's the reason the heart of my family had been torn apart. Because that night, I'd unwittingly chosen her. Now she's my prey. Nelle:- Cursed by a terrifying dark power, I'm a secret hidden in plain sight and trapped on my family estate, hardly leaving its gated confines. For no one is permitted to wield magic not approved by those we serve-the Horned Gods. And if my secret is discovered, everyone I love will die. But, of late, I barely can control the darkness writhing beneath my flesh. I desperately need to unearth its secrets, which means escaping my family home to seek answers to dangerous questions from a monster. The only person I can turn to for help is Graysen Crowther-a ruthless enforcer and, ugh, my jerk-of-a-fiancé. Of course, there's always a catch with Graysen. This time, he desires a kiss. But that one kiss awakes something more dangerous than desire and more mysterious than even the magic of the insidious marriage contract that binds us together. Graysen:- I'm the one entrusted by my family to uncover the depths of Nelle's sinister secret. And worse, our mutual loathing and hatred for our arranged union runs alongside an undeniable attraction. Yet, time is running out fast. I'm recklessly trying to figure out what she is, and far more irritating, why that strange hyperawareness has always existed between us. Threats sweep in from all sides. Even her own family needs her dead to shield themselves from the Horned Gods' wrath. Because while I'm hunting Nelle, something else is hunting her too. And there's no way in Nine Hells I'll allow her to be stolen. ['Of Crows and Thorns' is an epic saga that belongs to Nelle and Miss Catt. We alternate between these two leads, along with the Crowther brothers. All the novels, no matter who the leads are or what timeline they occur, drive the dire dilemma of Nelle's storyline.] Cover Design by Ren Tachibana

Sword Maiden of Rohan | Of Every Race Saga Book IV by CelticWarriorQueen17

The story is about a survivor of an orc invasion, Déorhild, who comes to Eodoras to seek help from King Théoden. However, due to her strange story and backround, no one really trusts her except for Éowyn and Éomer. Also, no one is really close to her because of her forbidding personality which is a result of her childhood. But unknown to everyone else, (except those that have their suspicions) Déorhild is not who she seems. Trying to keep her true identity hidden from prying eyes, Déorhild is very secretive. Éowyn still holds herself somewhat distant, but Éomer seeks a closer relationship with Déorhild, who for awhile, turns him coldly down. When Déorhild finally realizes that she loves Éomer, it is too late, for Éomer has along with the Rohirrim been exiled from Eodoras. So Déorhild embarks on a mission, to not only revenge those of her village who died, but to find Éomer and tell him of her true feelings for him before it's too late and he's dead. Yet both Éomer and Déorhild are caught up in a event which is greater than any of them have imagined, a war in which lies the fate of all Middle Earth. Can Déorhild find Éomer and tell him who she really is and what her feelings are for him before it's too late, or will they both perish in the War of the Ring? --First fanfiction and first story on Wattpad-- HIGHLY UNEDITED Beautiful cover is by @TheRegularRavenclaw CHECK OUT HER GRAPHICS!

One Day More - a Sartorias-deles fanfic by micamoney

Iris Theren has grown up in a small town near the Niam River her entire life. Composed of under 200 people, you'd think residents would know who she was, but her parents have made that impossible, going so far as to not even report her birth when it occurred twenty-three years ago. Cetus and Cassiopeia Theren at one point imagined themselves to be esteemed members of the court, but they overheard whispered questions regarding their loyalties to the crown. Thus, they left Remalna-city years before Iris was born. Their resentment and dislike of the Renselaeus family traveled with them. In their minds, it was the Renselaeuses who caused their fall from "grace" and "good-standing." Only a minor detail that no one truly liked them in the first place. From the moment they left Remalna-city--from the moment Vidanric Renselaeus ascended to the throne with his wife, Meliara Astiar, at his side--they quietly plotted their revenge. Alaraec Renselaeus, firstborn of Mel and Danric and crown prince of Remalna, has now seen twenty-four name days. The exact year the prince is traditionally determined to be old enough to take up some of his royal duties...including finding a potential bride. And thus Cetus and Cassie perceive the moment to strike has finally arrived. NOTE: The setting, history, a couple of the characters, and some of the concepts in this particular story are inspired by Sherwood Smith's novels Crown Duel and Court Duel. One Day More (working title) occurs twenty-five years AFTER the conclusion of Court Duel, basically an alternate future outside of Smith's Remalna's Children novellas.

Rowans Choice by SPenBooks

Completed ✨👸🏼 Born to the fairy elite, the royal line, next in line to take the crown, a queen to be announced on her next birthday, with her royal responsibilities and...one choice... only one... everything else has always been decided for her. "Who has Princess Rowan chosen to be her eternal mate?" A question, oh a question, It was already whittled down by the draw upon her birth, a family name picked at random, to keep this fairy line fair, hardly fair to the one picking, to do so from such a small pool of options. Luckily fairy families were large but as Rowan searched the faces in front of her, five brothers... all handsome, all rather eager to take the beautiful Princess's hand... it was the sister, stood to the left, observing, that caught Rowans eye and if she only got this one choice then it was clear. She had read the rules, many, many times, they clearly state to pick from the chosen families kin, sixteen years and over only, nothing on the gender, not that it had ever been done before but rules were rules and Rowan smirked as she let her choice roll over her tongue. She would choose the one thing her father would be most furious about but couldn't change, her choice, and no other fairy, king or not could change it. "Andromeda" she would announce, finger flexed toward her, and the entire kingdom would erupt in the great hall with shock, as Andromeda of the sky line, was pushed forward by her mother into the mix with her brothers. "Rowan" her father would curse "if you place that ring on her finger your line has ended... please rethink your choice" But Rowan didn't care... and Andy had called out to her long before now, the beautiful brunette with striking green eyes, a daring smile and a powerful magic that Rowan had long admired. And after all... it was Rowans choice... to hell with the rules. *I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS BOOK TO BE COPIED, OR ADAPTED ON THIS PLATFORM, OR ANY OTHER, BY ANYONE ELSE* *Completed February 2023*
