Highest Ranking #3 in Historical Fiction

A re-imagining of the true story behind the first assassination attempt of Queen Victoria and the maids who prevented her death.

In a time of poetic conversations, sumptuous ball gowns and aristocratic men... dwelled three maids. And by maids, I don't mean quiet, delicate country girls who donned a bonnet and an apron, I mean working kitchen-hands who wore female garments as if they were men's trousers, who had a powerful right hooks hidden beneath demure innocence and laced with wit as sharp as a Toledo blade.

These feisty lass's names were Mina, Liara and lastly Verushka. Circumstance had placed them below stairs but destiny was due to take them in odd and exciting directions. One to the stage, the other to the young Queens secret guard, and the last of the three was to venture to the inevitable glittering ballroom, but all paths were to lead to a charming and devilish Rake. For, much more is stored in the kitchen than eggs and flour - in the Bexley House, there is Persuasion in the Pantry.All Rights Reserved

Therefore, when nightfall arrives, they must set aside their differences in order to forge into an impossible dance that neither wishes to play part of... until the impossible changes into something entirely unavoidable, explosive, and fundamental to their very beings.

Hunter (1st Book of the Supernatural Hunters) by vov123456

IN EDITING. COMPLETE. "There are such beings as vampires, some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience, the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples." ~Bram Stoker In our day, people fawn over the idea of supernaturals through fanfictions and novels, but what they don't realize is that these creatures are very real. And extremely dangerous. Especially vampires. They don't sparkle in the light or sweep young women off their feet. They're cold blooded murderers. In order to combat their devastation, an organization of trained human hunters was formed. Each hunter for every creature has a different name. Vampire slayers are simply known as hunters. Victoria Abelard, better known as Vick, was a famous vampire hunter in the early nineteenth century. After a botched job, she was turned into the one thing she hated most. A vampire. Two hundred years later, Vick has learned how to blend in with the human crowd. Her life couldn't be anymore perfect, especially with the disappearance of vampires for over fifty years (which hunters gladly help keep in place). However, her life is turned upside down when two old friends pop back into it. Them requesting her to assassinate the king of the vampires. Just when she thought she was free, Vick is thrown back onto the roller coaster of life. Along the way, she goes through a mess of terrifying memories, horrible grudges, sweet revenge, and love. *Rated mature for violent scenes and language*

The Cair Royals by The_Unwavering_Truth

'Whence seated 4 Kings and Queens upon the Thrones of Cair, May an Unlawful Relationship Arise. May Power be Fought for, May Deceit Run Deep. When Lives be Threatened and Taken, May Hope We Keep. When Trust is Weakened and the Heart Feels Pained, May the Media have Mercy & the Rightful Reign.' "Dinner's ready, Your Majesty." "One moment." The younger of both the remaining Pevensies and the British Monarchs spoke distractedly, before snapping the laptop shut. After months, she'd finally written the story that she hadn't had to create, but which she had lived through herself. A story which she'd only JUST written a description for. A story, which was- well, exposed. Exposed and posted. A story that you, right this moment, have access to. A story which, whilst you read, we pray you keep your wits about you. Keep your friends close, and perhaps, even without your knowledge, you'll have your enemies even closer.
