The Serenader by MarvelPenguin1205

"Cal, we all have secrets." "Even you?" "Even me." **** Like most of her family, Calya Everson is an empath. Born with the gift of Illusion, the power possessed by a select few of the Nobility, she can feel the emotions of others. And as the third in line for the throne with stronger senses than anyone before her, she knows she could pose a threat to the seven regions, to her family, to everyone. That's why, for months, she refused to use it and kept her sixth sense silent. But things are changing, and when the return of her older brother and a meeting of all the rulers forces Cal's hand, she has no choice but to use her gift. And the scary thing is, she doesn't mind. General Atlas, firstborn to the King and dearly departed Queen, the heir to Harmonia, fears Illusion. Born without any special power, the sole exception of his family, the nature of Illusion is a mystery to him. He knows what challenges will await him when he takes his place as King, as the first ever ruler of Harmonia who lacks Illusion. When Cal's Illusion thwarts a planned attack on the castle and everyone in it, both Cal and Atlas are forced to flee from the castle for their safety. By order of the king, they're instructed to flee the palace and find the "safe haven," a small cottage on the edge of two of Harmonia's distinct regions. But as a truth about the Queen resurfaces, Cal and Atlas begin to realize that their little escape mission might hold the key to saving the kingdom - or destroying it.

All I Need ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

The Last Princess by peneloperosewrites

Victoria has spent her entire life in the shadows of her accomplished siblings-watching each of them marry, ascend to power, and lead their kingdoms with confidence. As the youngest daughter of the royal family, she thought she had years to prepare for her own turn. But now, it's finally her time, and she feels utterly unprepared. Faced with expectations she can't escape, a kingdom in need of a ruler, and a suitor she's not sure she can trust, Victoria must navigate a world of court intrigue, alliances, and self-doubt. As she takes her first steps into the unknown, Victoria will discover that being a queen isn't about having all the answers-it's about having the courage to find them. In The Last Princess, one young royal must carve her own path and prove to herself-and her kingdom-that she is more than ready to wear the crown.
