(Book One of the Andra Kingdom Series)
Caitirina has a secret destiny...one she could never have imagined. Something as always felt slightly off in her life, having suffered the past few years with an empty hole in her heart, and mind. Then her life changes forever, after being kidnapped by the Queen of the Fae, Narishka. Caitirina meets Lorcan, head guard of the Andra Kingdom who feels like more than just a handsome stranger. And more than human. They're drawn to one another in a way both of them can't describe. 
Now Lorcan must help Caitirina destroy Narishka before she destroys everything that is light, and fills the the world with an evil darkness. Along the way Caitirina will learn of a different life she once had, and learn to live it once again.(CC) Attrib. NonComm. NoDerivs

Asteria by WordDreamer_18

Seraphina was never meant to be a weapon-until the shadows chose her. When her quiet life shatters, Sera is thrust into a world where ancient magic bleeds into every breath and monsters wear human faces. Trained by rebels who see her as their last hope, and haunted by a dragon who will never let her fall, she discovers her power is unlike anything Asteria has seen before-wild, dangerous, and bound to both light and shadow. But shadows have names. And one of them whispers to her in the dark. Rowan-the enemy prince cloaked in darkness, whose voice coils around her soul and tempts her with power, ruin, and a love as dangerous as it is forbidden. As war looms, Sera is torn between the light that could save the realm and the shadows that promise to claim her. Trust, betrayal, and desire blur until the line between enemy and ally vanishes, and she must decide: will she fight the darkness-or let it consume her? Perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and Kingdom of the Wicked, this darkly romantic fantasy is filled with dragons, rebel courts, shadow magic, and a slow-burn romance that will set the night on fire.

The Den by NasharraOrtiz

Born of an ancient bloodline, Xelira and her younger sister Ali are lion shifters, feared, coveted, and hunted. When they're captured by Cylus, a merciless hunter fueled by a deep-seated hatred for all shifters, their world becomes a prison of chains, shadows, and pain. But the girls aren't alone. With the help of Evan, Ali's betrothed, they escape the cellar where they've been held captive, fleeing into the unknown. Wounded and hunted, they collapse in the wrong territory, deep within the forest ruled by wolves. They are discovered by Malric Drennir, the cold and enigmatic alpha of the wolf clan, a male bound by duty and haunted by war. Against his better judgment, Malric offers them refuge, but Xelira knows safety always comes with a price. As she struggles to keep her distance, the tension between her and Kaelen grows, a dangerous heat that threatens to unravel the walls she's built. But Cylus is not finished hunting her, and the darkness that hunts in the forest is not just human. In a world where monsters wear many faces, Xelira must decide if the enemy of her kind may be the only one willing to bleed for her.

Ayn's Healing by AMHillmann

Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hi

Shadows & Chains by purplekushbabe

book 1 of The Ashes of Edrathis Trilogy Blair Nightwyck remembers nothing of her life before the war-only screams, fire, and her uncle's rough hands dragging her from the ashes. The story he told her was simple: her parents were slaughtered by a dragon during the Great War between Shifters and mankind. That the monsters deserved their extinction. That her survival was a curse she would spend the rest of her life repaying. For years she's been his weapon, his trapper-chasing and capturing what others fear, selling the rare and the dangerous for his profit while she dreams of freedom she'll never taste. Until the crown makes her an offer. A job dangerous enough to kill her. Lucrative enough to buy her freedom. All she has to do is work for the king-hunt creatures the realm believes extinct-and in return, she'll finally earn her way out of her uncle's chains. But when she meets Lieutenant Malachi Ryerson, the man assigned to train and accompany her, her carefully built world begins to unravel. He's powerful, commanding, impossibly magnetic-and hiding something that makes the air around him hum with danger. Something ancient. Something that should not exist. The deeper she's drawn into his shadow, the more she begins to question everything she's ever known about monsters, about the war... and about herself. Because in Edrathis, truth is as deadly as magic-and the monster she's been hunting may not be the one wearing claws.

Captured By A Demon by shepherd4583

I finally escaped the factory, they kidnapped me from my college. Today is my birthday, and I had planned for it but nothing helped, only calming me down for the moment. A scream echoed out in the silent starry sky, my body freezing... They were looking for me, I just knew it. Again, I ran and jumping over the fence to the property, muscles burning, my breathing short. I look behind me, not seeing the light of the school anymore. I slow down, holding my breath again. Looking around, only trees and bugs surround me. I slowly sank to my knees, gripping the grass in between my fingers, to keep my breathing calm. Tears springing to my eyes and brushing the tears away, slowly getting back to normal. Suddenly, I felt someone behind me. I could feel its strength and power surround me, turning around to see a dark figure behind me. Glowing blue eyes stared at me, seeing it slowly walk toward me. My breathing becoming short again, a panic attack was on the verge. A hand was now on my shoulder and another on my cold cheek, making me look into his eyes, "Let me help you..." He whispered. Rubbing his thumb against my cheek, I slowly nod my head, when a pain began to form in my chest. I knew it was coming. I quickly get away, crawling a couple feet away. "Get away!" I yelled. My skin turning white and the pain erupting inside of me, feeling it try to escape, and I know if I let it. It will hurt this man. Suddenly, he was there in my view. Blue eyes staring at me, and then his lips were on my own. Gasping as I felt the pain beginning to disappear from inside me. Eyes drooping and my body relaxing against his. Soon, the kiss ended and I was empty. My eyes closing. "Don't worry, I will keep you safe..."

The Blade and The Bird by kqbooks

She'd spent many years playing in this forest as a child. While Selene had enjoyed her novels in the warmth of the house, a blanket wrapped around her narrow shoulders, Sidra always came home covered in mud and scrapes from hours out in the wilderness. She'd take an axe out into the forest and pretend to fight off monsters, the terrifying Mystics that her grandmother had told her stories about. She'd pretend to fight Lycans, knocking out their massive teeth one by one. She'd stand atop rocks and throw her axe at the trees, pretending they were wood nymphs come to steal her away. She'd always return home and tell Selene about the monsters she'd fought that day, spinning together a story of courage and bravery for her little sister. She felt that pain in her heart again as she thought of those times. Through the years, she'd stop going into the woods to play, and she'd instead find stories for Selene. Books of all sizes and shapes, no matter the content, because it made her feel close to her sister just as she had before her parents died. She thought of her family now, how she was all alone. Her parents had been gone for years, her grandmother, and now even Selene was missing somewhere. She needed to find her sister, she couldn't lose the last bit of her family. **

Moon Bound/Blood Bound Duology by AlaraBirch

This is a rough first draft Part 1/Book One-ish currently not available and in the professional editing stage for publishing. Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: (new blurb coming soon) They are fated, but it's complicated. He would give anything to have her, except her life. She would give anything to have him, including her life.
