Where the Roots Begin by D2O9R0I8

What if you had the ability to write? What if you couldn't control the story you created? And what if, the magic kingdom your hands are so keen on writing about turned out to be real? Alessandra is used to the way things are. Life isn't great, but in no time she'll leave her small town behind. Everyday is the same to her, that is, until she gets kidnapped and taken to a Lab, where she receives training for what's on the other side of a mysterious portal -even though no one really knows what that is, exactly. When Alessandra is sent through, she finds herself in a strange forest, with the young king of an old kingdom, very much like the place she dreams and writes about. But this place is different, and once Alessandra starts unraveling the truth, she realizes some things are better kept hidden.

Shadows by LAKirkegaard

Some things you just can't avoid, like falling in love. As much as you try to avoid, or search for it, it always seems to find you, or elude you. It seemed to find me every corner I turned, and I always tried to avoid it but alas, for some unknown reason, it found me. I retell my story in this writing, my story of love, deceit, power, and loss. Would you join me if I told you I could give you anything? Even love? Tell me what you need and I will grant you what you wish for. But before I do, will you join me in the retelling of this story? And if you will join me, then watch, carefully, the Shadows.

Hearts of Stone by Wimbug

[FREE STORY with exclusive chapters] Tragedy has struck the kingdom of Iride. The crown prince has disappeared and rumors claim pirates have taken him. But, even if the news is tragic, Kat Devieux has other, much more urgent things on her plate. Her financial troubles and the unrealistic expectations of her father has her family on the brink of starvation and her only way out seems to be marriage to a man who sees her as nothing more than a pretty face. When in order to save her father, she becomes the unwilling prisoner of a cursed beast, the running of the kingdom becomes even less important to her. Until she finds herself entangled in rogue politics and magic use. Because the Beast is guilty of more than misuse of magic in a kingdom that has expressly forbidden it. He holds a secret that could be the undoing of the entire country. And for Kat, knowledge opens a door to a life where she is so much more than just another bystander. A life she never thought could be. 🥀 Book 1 of the Fairy's Gambit series *Beauty and the Beast retelling* Fantastic cover by @pennywithaney
