Philomena is a child of the empire, traded to faraway Deusetats to seal an alliance and marry a prince: the handsome but arrogant Prince Rainhart.

However, politics is never simple. 

On the eve of Philomena's wedding, the king is brutally assassinated, his heir accused of treason, and Philomena's life thrown into chaos. Philomena and Rainhart flee the king's betrayers, trading the world of palaces and gowns for one of danger and fear.

Far from home and surrounded by people who want them dead, they must attempt to right a wrong that has angered even the old magic sleeping beneath the ground. 

They'll have to work together if they want to survive. 

But, they can barely stand each other, and Philomena has secrets of her own, that if discovered could cost the alliance, her position, and the person who has captured her heart.

Eligible bachelors from all over descend on her mother's castle to win her hand, and Penelope is forced to bat her eyes and pretend they've been rejected because they haven't succeeded in getting her to fall in love. In reality, after ten proposals and a tizzy of admirers, Penelope doesn't believe she's capable of it.

Harry is known by dozens of names, the Devil and Satan being the kindest among them. Falsely accused of slaying his half-brother and disowned by his father, Harry is forced to live as an outcast shrouded in the blackest of rumors. When his housekeeper dies, despite all his attempts to appeal to the peasantry, not a single applicant turns up. Harry is forced to resort to an unlikely, half-baked scheme with a girl he can't stand. She will be his housekeeper in order to scare her mother out of an ultimatum and he will use the presence of a lady to attract a real replacement. It will be a simple, loveless transaction...as long as they're able to resist each other... *Hades and Persephone retelling* *completed* ----- #86 in historicalromance 8/5/23

The Weight of Shadows by CharlotteHaydon

Born into the prestigious and feared House of Black, Cassiopeia Walburga Black is not just the eldest daughter of Walburga and Orion-she is their first heir. From the moment of her birth, Cassiopeia is trapped under the crushing weight of her family's dark legacy, forced to embody the pure-blood ideals of an ancient, unforgiving lineage. Within the cold, shadowed halls of Grimmauld Place, her childhood is anything but innocent. Taught advanced magic beyond her years and molded by her father's obsession with dark magic, Cassiopeia grows up in an environment that offers neither warmth nor love. Her parents, publicly poised and superior, are privately cruel and demanding, shaping her into a tool for the Black family's ambitions. While other children dream of freedom, Cassiopeia's world is one of strict obedience, wandless magic drills, and relentless expectations. As her parents' cold hands guide her every step, Cassiopeia begins to realize that her greatest battle may not be against the darkness of the magical world-but against the darkness that has taken root within her own home. A tale of trauma, power, and survival, this story delves into the shadowed life of a child born into a family where love is a luxury, and power is everything. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marauders era Being updated regularly First book in the duology (I do not own any Harry Potter original characters or plots.

Heart of Flax by Reinenpants_34

Finally, I made it to the top. I spent the whole time glancing down, but when I finally looked up, I saw him. His black hair and handsome face stared down at me. His beautiful gray eyes stared into my soul as I stared into his. Adjusting myself upright and letting go of my dress was a tedious process as I shivered in fear of how large and tall he was. His knight uniform may have made him larger but I doubt it. My eyes strayed from his as I shivered. His gaze lingered on me intensely as if he was angry with me, making me shiver more. How will I marry someone so, so, terrifying!? ----------- The Story of Philomena, the 17-year-old daughter of King Ricard IV. She is suddenly married off to the cold, tall, large, and extremely handsome Lord of the North. How will she navigate this journey?
