The King is dead! Long live the ........?

The king has died, but despite his multiple marriages and mistresses, he has never sired a son. So the crown should go to his eldest daughter, right? Wrong! The newly proclaimed Queen Regent must locate and marry the first eligible male with a claim to the throne before her 21st birthday, which happens to be in seven days. Failure will result in the Kingdom falling into a Civil War with those who wish to put an end to the monarchy once and for all.

The Taste of Iron by Easterhead

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger who leads missions into the city looking for food, medicine, and iron, is struggling to keep her team alive-and to follow the increasingly desperate orders from the elders. They haven't left the safety of the Scraper in years. The danger of the forest isn't ingrained in their bones like it is in hers. But telling them that is meaningless. And when a mission leads them into a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. Fighting the creatures of the forest is pointless. But at least it's fun. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

~ONC 2024 Honourable Mention~ ~~~ Alaric, the King of Silmarea, recently married to his beloved husband, needs an heir of his own blood to secure the throne. With the help of Emrys, his court magician and best friend, he recalls his youthful escapades and discovers a daughter he once had with a woman he had loved in The World Beyond The Stones (our world). He sends an unlikely but trusted trio on a quest to find her and bring her home-- a brooding dragon shifter and Highlander who owes him a favor, a dashing elf whom he loves like the son he never had, and a loyal, kindhearted dwarf, the elf's best friend. Alaric, the last scion of the old gods, weary of ruling the country and ready to retire and enjoy his love life, doesn't know that this quest will bring much more than he ever bargained for, setting in motion events plotted by the destiny that will challenge his kingdom and legacy. ~~~ My ONC 2024 entry inspired by prompt 21: A dragon, an elf, and a dwarf embark on a quest to find the lost heir to the kingdom.

Don't Want to be Queen | ONC 2023 (Complete) by authorelizasolares

Free-spirited homebody Erica doesn't want to be queen. Which is fine, because her single, independent older sister Gemma is more than ready for the job. But their father doesn't care about any of that. He thinks a queen ought to be married and producing heirs (Yes, he really says producing heirs) if she is to take the throne. No matter how hard the girls try to convince him, the king will not budge. Gemma needs to get married at her upcoming birthday ball or he passes her over in favour of her sister being the next queen. Desperate to turn their circumstances back right-side-up, the two concoct a plan to find someone for Gemma to choose who will definitely not choose her back. But in order to do that, Erica is going to have to work together with her longtime crush. Who doesn't know she exists. She'll have to keep her feelings in check if she's going to convince him to help, but she might want to offer him a little something in return. ~ * ~ * ~ This is one of the five novellas I'll be writing for this year's ONC!
