Elisabetta "Eliza" de' Medici is only 13 years old when she becomes one of the most important people in Europe. The death of her mother leaves her the heir apparent to the Duchy of Burgundy, and her father's inability to care for her after the death of his beloved wife makes her future uncertain. Many see the young Eliza as a pawn for political gain, but the strategic, smart, and compassionate girl is determined to make her own way in the world. Eliza is forced to confront reality however, when her father's parenting incapacity convinces him to send his daughter to England under the care of her great uncle, King Henry VI, and his wife, Queen Margaret of Anjou, where she is quickly made the heir to the throne by the childless couple. Doted on by the queen, and cared for by a distant cousin Jacquetta Woodville, Eliza comes to consider England her home and begins to love the people she will one day rule over. Everything changes just a few months later when King Henry falls ill with a serious illness. When the physicians claim insanity a new faction, one that is against her great aunt to the queen, take power. The new faction, the York's, quickly separate Eliza from the people she has come to consider her family as the king and queen are moved into virtual exile at Windsor Castle during his illness and Eliza is left in the care of people that she neither knows nor trusts. As Eliza is tossed into this complicated new world she must learn to navigate her feelings and decide her loyalties as her love for a certain York Earl and what she feels is best for the country, collide with the love of the family that she has known and the loyalties of her past.

What Compels the Light (Hogwarts Legacy)
Liliana Calloway, the youngest daughter of the Calloway family, has survived a troublesome year of impeding the destruction of several dark wizard leaders who sought to cause chaos, and saving all of the Scottish Highlands from Goblin dictatorship. However, her heroic actions not only put a major target on her back but also happen to be why she must keep a massive secret from her friends: she absorbed the magic from the repository. As Lili returns to endure what she hopes to be a normal sixth year with her two best friends, Ominis Gaunt and Sebastian Sallow, she begins to feel the weight of preparing for her desired occupation, living up to her gifted title:'Slytherin Savior', and understanding the consequences of her decision. The once calming sensation of her ancient magic abilities has now shifted into a fiery sensation that feeds off Lili's strongest emotions. It's only a matter of time before such emotion-driven power rewrites her mind entirely. Along with emotion-driven magic threatening to permanently take control, a new student joins Hogwarts as a sixth year: Arcus Dawson. The ruthless, brooding Ravenclaw despises Liliana and makes it evident from day one. A 'normal sixth-year' quickly shifts into a dangerous journey through dark wizard camps, skeptical villages, uncovering research that's over a decade old, and the biggest challenge: uniting with her archrival. With time running out, Lili has to ask herself how far she's willing to go or lose her entirely. "Somewhere, there's a field of white roses, perfectly safe and untainted by the world."

The Last York Prince [AU]
HISTORICALLY INACCURATE: Based on Philippa Gregory "The White Princess" timeline, but AU: What if Richard III had a son before he was killed in Bosworth? Young Richard Plantagenet was brought up in court at the behest of his mother, Elizabeth of York, who claimed him as a bastard in hopes that her son with the previous king would be safe, but people knew it was not. Richard Plantagenet would always be a threat to the Tudors, but Jasper Tudor felt it was not right to kill a child, not when he can shape the young man, who looked so much like his late father, into a Tudor loyalist. Elizabeth Woodville feared for her grandson. Thinking that they had poisoned his mind, she sought to get the boy away from the Tudors. Richard was so much like his father. He was loyal, just and people support him. Margaret Beaufort may cut off his father's affinity, isolating the boy, but that doesn't mean no one can get to him. By sparing him, Elizabeth of York agreed to marry Henry Tudor. At what cost? Not able to acknowledge her son, Richard in public. Jasper Tudor took the child in and educated him the same way he did to Henry. Margaret, however, disagreed and hoped the boy to just..., disappeared. As he grew older, Richard learned more and more about his father, but he knew better than to listen to the Tudor propagandas. He was smart and careful whenever he's in court. Being one of the York princes, Elizabeth of York wondered. Would her son will be able to marry and have a family? She knew Richard had been on his own and she prayed he would be married and happy. From birth until his last breath, Richard Plantagenet lived his life, fighting for freedom and the love he wanted, refused to be subjected under Tudor's boot. Will Richard serve Tudors in obedience? Or will Richard fight to earn his rightful place as king?Complete
