Ashborne - Shelved For EDITS
The prophecy detailing the destruction of Ashborne is old news; everyone knows the oracle who said it was crazy, so Rhett doesn't take it seriously. What he does take seriously is his involuntary move to Ashborne in under three months. Trying to shake his fate and make it through his senior year of high school unscathed, Rhett finds a way to gain a gift. Life seems better until he's involved in an accident that forces him to Ashborne, effectively casting him into the middle of the not-so-crazy, definitely real, unfolding prophecy.

this golden secret- Querying
When twenty-year-old Aurora Tota unintentionally heals an Artesian spy's injured wrist in the restaurant with her bare hands, she is cornered and taken from her safe and secure country to Artesia, the hostile country next door. In an attempt to escape her abductor and make it back home, she collides with migraine-prone Ro. Being the queen's newest High Advisor for the country, Ro debates killing Aurora there on the spot. After all, the Queen has strict orders to kill all outsiders, and he's never disobeyed one before now.
Tired of death and haunted by his previous deeds, Ro decides to keep Aurora at his side to spare her life until she can safely make it through Artesia. He and his best friend disguise Aurora as Ro's assistant, and she is welcomed in Ro's town. While Aurora gets closer to him than anyone else, and he spends time with her and listens to what she has to say, Ro and Aurora fall in love.
No longer sure of her place and if she can return home, Aurora must grasp the ramifications of her growing power and the changes she's started across Artesia while Ro grapples with an impending engagement to the Queen. Cities burn, betrayals ensue, and the Queen hears rumors of a healer in her country sparking her rage. She will stop at nothing to find and eliminate Aurora to keep herself in power because if Aurora survives, Artesia will fall.
