[Wattpad Picks: Editors' Choice]

Saoirse's blood dances with iron and trickery, a secret she has managed to sheathe from all faery alike. 

Until now, that is.

When Saoirse's cunning and charade is shredded to bits by the malevolent interfering of faery royalty, Saoirse makes a vow of thorns; edged and prickly, one dangerous enough to cost her the life she invoked it for. To keep her life and the cursed magic that makes her both admired and feared, she must use her prized gifts to cross faery territory and charm her way into the heart of the Alder King's Court at the command of the Spring.All Rights Reserved

The Dragon's Match by Ashful

She did not want to match with one of his kind; he did not want to match at all. Lillian Adams was set to inherit her father's dukedom- once she had made a suitable match, one that was not of the fae, and certainly not one that was Aëghan Dranora- the unpredictable and darkly attractive male that was lingering around her family's estate. Having spent four long years in their world, she was no stranger to the cruelness of the fae. But why was it only in his presence that she felt calmer than she had in years, that made her stir with yearnings of desire she had never felt before? Knowing all that she did about him, she should resist the pull that she feels for him... Aëghan had one purpose in this world- to find a way out of it. It was the only thing he lived for, the only thing guiding his every action. Until her. He could not allow himself to nurture the attraction he had for Lillian Adams, he couldn't allow anything, especially not a human woman that made his soul come alive, to come between him and his ultimate goal- to leave this world and return to his own. And Lillian was just that- a distraction, a hindrance. But the desire of his mind went against the desire of his heart as even the Gods urged their union. Aëghan was not convinced he would be able to make the choice should the time arrive when he had to- her, or his world and people.

Season 2 of The Fated Series *** Secrets have been Brynn Alburn's companions since the moment her people left her for dead on the shores of the Western Shifter Territory. Having grown up among those once considered enemies, she's spent more time hiding from a dark past than living a peaceful life. But as the years pass, she's finally found herself settling into this new life with the shifters. Until she hears the whispers. Whispers of a separate kind of rare magic wielder-one her people thought extinct and have sought to return to their land. When the leader of the Western Shifter Territory asks her to help spy on the wielders and assist the neighboring Southern Shifter Territory, Brynn jumps at the chance to visit the territory directly connected to the rumors. Her visit leads her directly to Ronan, one of the deadliest shifters in all of Eravella, and a man she's inexplicably drawn to. Now, Brynn's been enlisted to help the Southern Shifter Territory rescue one of their own. The recovery effort puts her closer to Ronan, and gives her the chance to locate the treasure her people searched for. Except Ronan has a close eye on her, and he's refusing to let her keep her past buried deep where it belongs.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1 by marcellaiswriting

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.

Briarborne by EllisBeddoe

In the far western regions of Tayrul, beyond the coasts of Kemmaweth and Ostaviel, is the fractured Empire of Nyllensari, the realm of the fae and their many courts. One kingdom in particular that has resisted the rule of the Mynetheas Dynasty for millennia is that of Illyethluna, the realm of Dark Elves. Kept fully under Unseelie rule and ruled over by the royal Jhalvar family, it has become a place of strife and intrigue. Poisoned wine and daggers like thorns. An orderly anarchy, full of backstabbing courtiers and ruthless warlords. It's a place where the weak and enfeebled have no right to be, should they value their lives. Born to the greatest power in this realm, Vellienne's very existence damages her family's ruthless and cruel image. Tarnished their reputation. Born early and frail, white as a sheet and agonized by sunlight, Vellienne is kept by her mother Zeldiira, away from a world she wishes to hold in the palm of her hand, no matter how delicate. Plagued by her envy in her brothers' successes and her parents' dismay, as well as loathing for how her own body prevents her from achieving such heights, Vellienne begins to plot and conspire to become greater than was thought possible for her. Greater than her own kin. She would become someone else entirely, if that is what it took.

In The Mist of Shadows by readerofrealms6

Born into enslavement of her father's kingdom, becoming his deadliest weapon, Adela Faelan thought her whole life was planned before her by her father.

But when the Lord sent his spymaster to get information about this stranger in their lands, there was no doubting it. Adela Faelan was in fact somehow a part of his bloodline. And somehow found herself as the spymaster's mate.
