A LINE UNBROKEN. A TRUTH UNSPOKEN. 

Born into wealth and privilege as the niece of an emperor, Starborn Lady Mhera never dreamt that tragedy would shatter her world. But darkness roils beneath the peaceful facade of the Holy City: a rebellion is brewing among the Arcborn-the dangerous, magic-blooded undercaste of Penrua-and they will stop at nothing to destroy the peace of the realm. That much is proven to Mhera when she is just a girl and her greatest treasure is taken from her. 

Years later, still wounded by the evil the Arcborn wrought against her, she is on the brink of professing her final vows as a nun...but before she can accept the life of safety and solitude she doesn't truly desire, she is offered a chilling compromise with fate that threatens everything she has ever known.

Honor-Bound [ Lore of Penrua: Book III ] by MinaParkes

BLOOD IS POWER. The Blood-Bound Sovereigns, Matei and Mhera, have been leading the Penruan Empire as best as they can since the Arcborn Rebellion shattered it half a decade ago. Together, they've weathered many trials and borne many burdens, but the time of their deepest suffering was yet to come... Matei and Mhera's daughter, Princess Uarria, disappeared from her bedchamber late one night. The mutilated corpse of her guard, stuffed unceremoniously into a wardrobe, makes it clear that the princess is in mortal danger. With tensions broiling in the southern provinces of Narr and threatening to escalate into all-out war, the terrified parents must balance their fear for their daughter with their duties to the realm. Meanwhile, Uachi u Rora struggles with the revelation that Ealin, the unmarked Arcborn woman he has loved for years, is the one who has taken the princess. He cares for Ealin more than he's ever cared for anything in his life and now, faced with the horror of her betrayal, he is honor-bound to bring her to justice. His journey will take him farther from home than he has ever gone, where he will meet people stranger than any he's ever known and face down monsters he first met as a boy.

The Prophecy of Water | TheWattys2018 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld.

The Carnelian Way by Jazzy1983

Deceit. Love. Power. Centuries ago, the mages of Old Denea destroyed their civilisation to keep Mai, a half-blood prince, from inheriting the throne. Mai rescued the survivors from the remaining Devastation and brought them to Eurora. Since that time the refugees' descendants have toiled--ostracised and feared by the Eurans, enslaved by the strict dictates of the Magisterium that keep their powers in check--hoping to earn forgiveness from the now god-like Emperor Mai. Rina, a young Denese woman leaves her home in Eurora's northern outpost, Amadore, and travels to the capital, Nebia, determined to find a way to convince Mai and the Magisterium to free her people before they rise up. But when she gets there, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to trigger the demise of another nation.

Hall of Games [ REWRITE ] | The Varya Chronicles #1 by seventhstar

MISTBORN x GAME OF THRONES *Wattpad YA profile Featured story* If Cadence had said no to a blood spirit, the noble family she worked for would still be alive. Her brother wouldn't be conscripted into the Hall of Games. She wouldn't have to follow him and be a soldier for the rest of her life. Her Papa would still have his head. A close brush with death awakens her necromancy abilities, and she becomes hell-bent on resurrecting her father. However, necromancy is forbidden, and if her secret is exposed, the Hall of Games will execute her. As her new powers demand more than her body can ever give, it will ultimately push her humanity to its limits-if saving her father doesn't destroy her first.

Bleeding Hearts by bbllaacckkaangel

"I take what I want, princess, no matter what." TRUTH is hidden behind the LIES. Secrets are buried within the secrets. Darkness lurks in the Light and Light breathes in the Darkness. A tale of "BLOOD, SACRIFICES, AND OATH" What will be the outcome when their worlds collide? Will they be each other's salvation or each other's demise? My works are the outcome of my wild and roller-coaster crazy imagination that I nurtured with dedication and great love. Cheap liberalism and unwanted feminism are neither appreciated here nor wanted. So, if you have some self-esteem issues then take it elsewhere because I will report and block every negative comment and commentator. I hold all the rights under my name and by all laws. So think before trying to copy/paste and plagiarism. Cheating doesn't sit well with me and I am not generous with forgiveness. Happy Reading :)

EVERMORE: Eadric's Chronicles by DWBarrington

This is the 1st half of the EVERMORE Prequels. Check out the 2nd half EVERMORE: Talindra's Chronicles, on my profile now! In the ancient realm of Evermore, a land steeped in magic and marred by conflict, an age-old war rages between two mighty races-the humans and the elves. Bound by a tumultuous history of bloodshed and mistrust, their bitter enmity threatens to consume the very fabric of the world they call home. Amidst this turbulent backdrop, we embark on a gripping tale that follows the extraordinary journey of Eadric Lightbringer, a formidable battlemage hailing from the town of Ravenhold. Eadric, a man burdened by the weight of destiny, finds himself thrust into a realm of unfathomable darkness, where courage will be tested, alliances will crumble, and secrets long forgotten will surface with devastating consequences. As the fragile balance of power teeters on the edge, Eadric's path converges with the ancient prophecies whispered in shadowed corridors. A reluctant hero, he must navigate treacherous landscapes and face both the savagery of the elven forces and the inner demons that haunt his own soul. With his mastery of the arcane arts and a flickering glimmer of hope, Eadric strives to bridge the chasm of hatred that divides his people, searching for a means to forge a lasting peace in a land consumed by war.

Veil of Vengeance by Ifraafatima

"A kingdom ruled by fear. A princess bound by secrets. A vengeance that could shatter it all." Princess Alethea of Arcanvale is feared and revered in equal measure. Ruthless, cunning, and unyielding, she wields her power with precision, a perfect weapon molded by her father, King Mario. But beneath her icy exterior lies a woman haunted by the loss of her sister, Aurora, and the suspicion that her father's ambitions may be tied to her greatest tragedy. Across the ruined lands of Eldrid, Prince Kairen burns with hatred. The last surviving heir to a kingdom destroyed by Arcanvale, he has spent years honing his strength and strategy, preparing for the day he would take his revenge. To him, Alethea is nothing more than a pawn in the twisted games of her tyrannical father-a pawn he intends to destroy. When their paths cross, sparks ignite into flames, and their hatred pushes them into a dangerous battle of wills. But as Alethea uncovers secrets about her family's dark past and the blood-soaked pact that binds their kingdoms, she and Kairen are forced to confront a terrifying truth: their fates are intertwined in ways neither could have foreseen. With kingdoms teetering on the edge of war, betrayal lurking at every turn, and a curse that threatens them all, Alethea and Kairen must decide what matters more-vengeance or the chance to break the cycle of destruction that has haunted them both. **"Veil of Vengeance"** is an epic tale of betrayal, redemption, and the thin line between love and hate. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, dark fantasy, and morally grey characters, this enemies-to-lovers journey will leave you breathless.
