Summary
Alina Starkov knows what it is to lose. She has lost her home. She has lost people she loves. And when she discovers the strange power kept dormant inside of her since childhood, her life is ripped from her again. Now she is a Grisha. Now she is something unique to be used by whoever can get their hands on her first. Shu, Fjerdans, Kerch traders-she learns to see them all as enemies as she fights to survive.
Then she meets the Darkling, the powerful and handsome Grisha in charge of the second army. A man she swears she has seen before in passing hallucinations. He has spent years searching for her since the first rumors of a girl who shone like a star rose from Keramzin, and now he has found her.
Alina is not naïve. She knows this man wants something from her like all of these others. But still, she cannot help but be drawn to him.

Summary
Soulmates. Soulmarks. Everyone has one, but most people on the Ark never find theirs. There are angry rumors that it's to keep the stations apart, to keep Alpha and GoSci separate from everything and everyone else. Other whispers talk about one person decades ago falling deeply into grief when the Chancellor at the time floated their soulmate, so deeply that they tried to kill the Chancellor and were floated as well. It's only when a spear pierces Jasper's chest that Clarke starts to think that maybe there's another reason why people don't find their soulmate on the Ark.
Earth is nothing like what she expected. River monsters, acid fog, a coalition of Grounders, Mountain Men. But she also never expected a soulmate like Bellamy Blake.

Summary
1918.The war is over, but for Flora Green, the battle never truly ended. A nurse hardened by the trenches of France, she returns to Small Heath with nightmares in her head and steady hands that never shake when stitching bullet wounds—no questions asked.
When a brawl at The Garrison puts her face-to-face with Thomas Shelby, Flora makes a decision that changes everything. One calm confrontation with Arthur Shelby later, she's caught the attention of the most dangerous family in Birmingham. Tommy's proposition is simple: three pounds weekly to be their personal nurse. It's enough money to eventually escape Small Heath forever, but the price isn't measured in currency alone.
As she moves between worlds—blending modern medicine with her mother's Romani remedies—Flora finds herself drawn into Tommy's orbit. But in a neighborhood where respectability matters and Tommy's women come with their own histories, Flora must decide how close to the fire she's willing to stand.
She tells herself it's just business. A means to an end. But when Tommy looks at her with those ice-blue eyes that see too much, or when his fingers brush against her cheek in the back room of The Garrison, even Flora's steady hands begin to tremble.Bookmarked by introvertdoglover

Summary
“He is not coming, and there will be no reprieve.”
The execution block in front of Mary grows blurry as the priest says those words. She blinks away the blurriness—hands tightening around the prayer beads held in them. Her son. Her son is not coming.
And these will be her final breaths.
⁂
Mary, Queen of Scots, faces her execution after 20 years of captivity. The axe falls—as does her head. Yet when she next opens her eyes, it is not the sight of the afterlife that welcomes her. She finds herself back at the convent on the day of her return to the Chateau of Fontainebleau.
But she is not alone on this journey. Another soul accompanies her.
With Seren's guidance, Mary has been given the power to challenge fate.
