The Eye of the Storm by messytessa

A permanent supernatural cyclone rages across the mystical country of Thrace. The only inhabitants are those of the royal family who once ruled and they survive only by staying within the eye of the storm. Aella is the daughter of King Thaumas and Queen Electra, and was born after the storm ravaged Thrace. Aella knows the storm didn't always exist. But who hated her family enough to curse them? And can Aella stop it before time runs out?

The Face Thief by hiraethia

''You don't want to be going that way, my dear,'' the voice cooed from everywhere at once. ''Ancient things that feast on flesh have made their home their and just now, girls are melting away like snow.''

Kovya Karazamova, the storyteller's daughter, has many names. Soldier. Rezerikoi. Tretyak. Heretic. But there is one that they are afraid to say, one that they whisper in the dark with shivering tongues and trembling limbs. There is a creature who wears the skin of a girl, who plucks faces from the minds of people and spins shadows into things, with freed fingers and a scorned heart. The Face Thief, they call her. And even the trees scream of her sins.
