Lee Capren's life is complicated. She's in love with a boy whose heart she broke to protect him, her home is wrecked-and she and her friends have just been arrested for practicing magic illegally.

With the evidence stacked against them, they're given a choice: serve the Seattle Guild as apprentices, or serve time in prison. The decision seems simple, but the consequences will be greater than anyone can imagine.

Navigating Seattle's magical scene is tough enough, even before the Summer King requests Lee as his emissary to the Winter Court-a request she can't refuse. Suddenly, she's entangled in a conflict brewing between two ancient powers. But there's more to this faerie feud than meets the eye-and signs point to a shadow from Filo's past.

The coming storm will destroy all that Lee holds dear, unless she sacrifices everything to stop it.

Court Of Tethers and Ruin *A dark fae fantasy- romance* by laurenHPierce

"My mother warned me the fae are closer to gods than men. She never warned me what happens when gods wake up." The night the moon shattered it rained glittering shards upon the world. Fragments of divine power, each capable of increasing one's power and rendering the immortal Fae truly deathless. For the Fae King Kairos, they are not only his hope to save his crumbling Night Court from oblivion. They are a necessity to securing his rule and destroying those who oppose him. For Aylara Al'thaire, they bring only ruin. Aylara sees what others cannot: the golden threads of fate binding every soul to the connections they make in life. This gift has protected her human village for generations. But when Kairos's army storms her home, slaughtering all in their hunt for the fallen shards, her sight offers no escape. Only a bargain. To save her people, Aylara pledges herself to the Night King. In return for their lives, she will enter his treacherous court as his pawn-posed as his concubine, forced to use her unraveling gift to root out the traitor threatening his throne amidst the trials. As courts clash and ancient powers stir, Aylara walks a razor's edge: one misstep means her village burns and her fragile alliance with Kairos shatters, or the terrifying power of the shards consumes them all. Survival demands trust. But in the courts of fae, trust is the deadliest trial of all. ***************************** Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (18+) Themes: - Enemies to lovers - Strong female main character - Protective / obsessive male main character - Fated mates - Prisoner-ally relationship - Court politics - Trails And so much more!

Fida Clark knows that the world is cruel; the world is unfair. Every five years, to pay for a crime her village's ancestors committed, a maiden is chosen as a sacrifice.

After walking into the Woods and surviving her death sentence, she is thrown into a world of two-faced nobles and back-stabbing Fae. She does not belong, and yet her life now revolves around learning about the Fae and trying to find out why the Woods has not claimed her life. But what happens when a mortal begins to find a home in the land of immortal beings? Getting too comfortable can be a dangerous game, and when she least expects it, her world crumbles yet again. Her life is twisted with truth and lies, and only the race that she fears is able to help her find the truth. Will she inherit the destiny that was hidden from her for so long, or do the stars have other plans that will bring her and her loved ones to ruin?

Wicked Winter Book. 1 by AshtonMarie

{Completed} Highest Ranking: # 1 in Fantasy (01/28/17) Book. 1 My blood boiled at the thought of one of them in our streets, hidden in plain sight, perhaps even by one of the kids from the orphanages. Would it murder innocent human children? You bet. Would it even think twice about gutting a starving child? Never. What could do this, you're probably asking. But it boils down to one single word. One word that made anger I hadn't known I possessed, roar to life like a pissed off lion. One word that sent a cold chill spider-walking down my spine. Faeries. ------------ Eve Scotts's world is divided by magic - The Order of the Seven who rules over her kingdom with a steel fist and the murderous faeries's she'll be forced to fight when she turns eighteen. Eve is a dueler, a human that dabbles in the elements to fight in underground scuffles for some extra coin to feed her fellow orphans back home. But she has a secret weapon: She can wield ice magic - a magic that is only reserved for the High Witches at court. But she makes a mistake. She exposes herself. Rumors are spreading of a small orphan girl who can wield the power of ice, and it isn't long until the Order sends one of their own to snatch up the bounty. In exchange for the secrecy of her special gift, Eve agrees to participate in the Witches Academy, where humans are taught to wield the power of the elements and become powerful witch soldiers for the Order's disposal. As Eve is drawn further into the Witch world, she risks everything to learn more about her power and her lineage. With her frozen heart melting for the Count of Night, Sebastian O'Neill, Eve is thrown into a cyclone of love, betrayal, and family drama she hadn't even known an orphan could inherit. Soon, Eve must decide: Is love, or survival more important? Word Count: 102,000.

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist.

Fayre by Nikkireadw

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."
