I was just a simple lady living on a peaceful countryside.
Then one day, I was knocked out and before I get to know what was happening, I woke up one morning inside an extravagant carriage, fully dressed in an elegant white gown with a stranger reaching out his hand from the outside. 
And before I could even make a sound, the stranger - a surprisingly stunning and dangerously handsome man at that, came into view and uttered four ridiculously simple yet devastating words that shook me to the core. 
And just like that, I became a pawn discarded to become the wife of the most stunning and most unscrupulous man on the kingdom - His Grace The Duke of Kargaz, Calex Hexon Tygart.

The simple and quiet life of Atallie Ygravet was suddenly put into chaos when she became entangled with the notorious Duke of Kargaz. She was caught up as a Duchess surrounded by too many of mistresses of her husband. Everyone thought that for a simple lady from an unknown little faraway county such as Atallie, she couldn't possibly accept her fate to have her man with his too many to count mistresses swarming like flies on the entire estate. 

However, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the Duchess with her cool, unperturbed, and aloof personality as she gracefully and calmly drank her tea while reading some books. She was so leisure to the point that even the disinterested and distant Duke started paying attention to her. 

Nobody knew what was going through the minds of the Duke and the Duchess of Kargaz. 

Oh, please, Duke, get those glaring eyes of yours away from me! Don't make me snap, or else you'll go blind in just a breath away! - Duchess

Hmp! Why is she so calm and quiet? What kind of game is she playing at? - Duke

In the continent where they live, wherein elements and magic exists, are things as simple as they seemed to be?

A Dance Of Crowns & Thrones | Part I by A��rnamed-ANA

This book is for those who love slow-burn, chaotic, "how can they be that stupid," "about bloody time," wrench-your-heart-but-make-you-feel-so-good romances. Because what's life without a bit of drama, right? Throw in epic chaos, a princess on the run, and some evil bad guys (because every story needs a villain), and you've got a book that will keep you knee-deep in drama. If you've come here looking for your traditional synopsis, read on, my lovely readers. And if what you really crave is a mix of whump, smut, and rom-com with a side of catastrophe, then look no further-I've got you covered. __________________________________________________________________________ Proper Synopsis When a devastating attack reduces her home to ruins, Princess Sera's only option is to flee. Seeking refuge on Earth, she meets Matthew, the cocky, confident leader of the Allegiant Academy. Little does she know that the man she's starting to fall for is the same person who wields immense power-the one she dubbed 'Ace' and has been her bitter enemy since childhood. But hey, that's not exactly first-date material, is it? Nobody kicks it off with, "Oh, by the way, I have an alter ego who's a fiend-fighting, blood-killer type that hunts savages for sport." Right? As Sera tries to keep her princess status and crystal warrior identity under wraps, she throws herself into becoming someone else. After growing up in war, happiness doesn't just return-it sneaks up on you, like plants pushing through cracked concrete. But when her past comes knocking, threatening to undo everything she's painstakingly rebuilt, she'll quickly learn that truth has impeccable timing-and her destiny has the absolute worst habit of showing up when she least expects it. But seriously, what did she expect? When it comes to life, destiny, and fate, it's never really in our hands, is it? _______________________________________________________________________________

Her Cinder Throne (Completed) by ViridianHues

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.
