Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions.  
  
    ///
  
  The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion.
    
  All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself.

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Demon's Hostage by Hungererr

Alice, a prodigy of ice and wind magic, was known far and wide for her extraordinary abilities. Born with a natural affinity for the elements, she quickly surpassed her peers, her talents only matched by her insatiable curiosity. Her kind heart drove her to seek knowledge not just for herself, but to better the lives of those around her. The gods themselves took notice of her selflessness, bestowing upon her a portion of their divine power as a mark of their favor. On a bright and sunny day, Alice embarked on a journey into the heart of the forest, where the ancient trees stood tall and the air was thick with the scent of earth and leaves. She was searching for a rare herb, one that grew only in the darkest, most secluded parts of the woods. Undeterred by the shadows that lingered beneath the canopy, she pressed on, her resolve unshaken. But she was not alone in the depths of the forest. Hidden among the twisted roots and dense underbrush, a demon watched her every move, its eyes gleaming with malevolent intent. It had been drawn to the purity of her aura, a stark contrast to the darkness it thrived in. The demon's hunger grew as it observed her, its twisted mind plotting how it would claim the elven girl as its prey. Would her magic and wits be enough to survive? Would the demon's insidious hunger be her undoing? Or would something unforeseen bloom from their deep-seated hatred for each other.
