I'M NOT THE MONSTER YOU SHOULD FEAR.

A world of bloodshed is all Yazia has known despite never having struck a blade to one's heart-that is until everything changes when an attack lures her into a spiral of revenge for her parent's death. 

With nothing but the throne of Sankori left to her name, a new war threatening the crown is on the rise. Wishing for no more death of her kind, Yazia has pledged to keep the last of her people alive, no matter the cost. 

Her plan is simple: infiltrate the rivalling kingdom, and usurp the King of Abingor. But what happens when who you thought was your enemy isn't your enemy at all? 

Only her ability with a blade can protect her through the dangerous politics of her foe. But amidst the schemes to finish everything Yazia has stood up for, it is not too late before she realizes she is merely a pawn in the game. Yazia uncovers something far more sinister than a powerful monarch; something even the most feared are afraid of. 

An assassin. A traitor. A prisoner. Her mission has unexpectedly changed-she will bring the looming war back home.

Write to Rank 2022-CarolynAnnAish-Complete by carolynannaish

A Medieval Action work with a number of different genre as each round's prompts dictate. Battles, Kings, princes, a princess; crowns, plots, twists and turns. Achiever of all the nine belts. WINNER OF ROUND 9 - "A NEW WORLD" Something different for me to stretch my writing skills and get back into one of the things I love most in my life - to create stories. this 'work' idea has been created by Ambassadors here for this "Write to Rank Contest 2022" - each chapter (round) to be written from a prompt given by the contest creators. The first round is a very quick read indeed, - a DRABBLE - a story of exactly 100 words, no more, no less; however much ACTION. ROUND 5 - MORE twists and turns in this unexpected but amazing challenge - mashing up fantasy and action - battles; legends exposed under-cover; flying with eagles; a rare mental condition called today "Boanthropy" - seemingly of fantasy but a historic king suffered 7 years from it! Not a witch - maybe not even an 'Angel' - more human than she seems... "IS IT REAL?" https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/312958420/write/1244685929 UPDATE - ALL required NINE parts have been written and submitted! Round TEN is needed only by those writers who didn't finish any other round - and as at this date, October 25, I have all nine belts.

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.
