Romantasy : top book in the genre

That day, my boyfriend dumped me, I got kicked out of university, and I had a huge fight with my parents. So when a mysterious wizard showed up offering to make me a witch and send me to a magical medieval world… I said yes. Instantly. The realization that I’d been tricked—and should’ve just taken a job at McDonald's—came a bit too late. No balls or pretty dresses here. Just dumpsters full of rats. No charming prince either. Just a grumpy pilot from a spaceship-era crash landing in the wrong century. As for magic? Oh, it exists. But people here get burned at the stake for it. So… who do I thank for this disaster? And more importantly — how do I survive it?

Betrayed by the man I was about to marry, I wished for a new beginning. I never expected it to come in the form of a ghost ship. Now I’m the reluctant guest—no, the intended bride—of the dark and dangerously charming captain of the Flying Dutchman. Cursed pirates, a sassy talking parrot, and legends that breathe salt and magic… And then there’s Davy Jones himself, offering me a deal I can’t quite refuse. But behind his wicked smile lies a secret—and maybe, a heart. Can love bloom on cursed waters? Or will it drag me under?

Cast out from her home while pregnant, Ayla’s true nightmare begins in the Black Forest when she falls into the hands of Einar, the ruthless Alpha King. Dying from a curse, Einar searches for a cure, showing mercy to no one in his path. He views Ayla with nothing but contempt, loathing her for carrying the child of an unknown stranger. But if that is so, why does his inner Beast go wild at her scent? Why does a predatory hunger burn in his eyes instead of his usual icy stare? Einar has no idea that the secret of that magical night—the one she keeps in total silence—could be his only salvation, or the ultimate destruction for them both...

I jumped into a sandstorm — destroyed a caravan of temple priests and saved an innocent girl meant to be sacrificed to the gods. I am the Mask Mistress — a legendary thief of the desert. Now Colonel-Mage Dayvar Sharhes is hunting me down, ready to drag me to the capital for public execution. But he’s not just my pursuer… He may be my only chance to survive — because the stakes are far greater than any of us imagined.

He looked right through me as if I were nothing more than furniture. Yet, it was me—the submissive 'gray mouse'—whom the Dragon Prince appointed as the mistress of ceremonies for his bridal selection. Now, I must find a wife for this monster among the court's predators. Did he invite me to the palace because he thought I was weak and harmless? Big mistake. Years of strict upbringing taught me the ultimate lesson: the most dangerous enemy is the one no one notices.

She was a magnet for trouble, even before the royal bride selection began. And that was just the start... Seriously, who falls into a prince's arms twice? But did the sorceress have feelings for him, or was it his brother she loved? Only one thing mattered: she had to stop her rivals from winning the ruler's heart.

They married me off to seal a royal alliance. I’m a southern princess. He’s the heir of the North—a land of frost, harsh customs, and eyes colder than winter. My new home is no palace. It’s a trap. Every step I take is bound by rules I don’t understand—and don’t dare break. My fiancé’s smile hides too much. Someone keeps trying to kill me. Over and over again. I must survive. I must obey. But I’m learning to breathe in the icy air. And my heart… it beats not for the man I was promised to, But for the one meant only to guard me. They call it an engagement. To me, it’s survival.

One single decision can change everything — especially when you make it chasing freedom, while your fiancé quietly tightens the cage. And now, instead of freedom and rebel-filled swamps, you find yourself a prisoner with a magic-blocking bracelet, being transported on a ship whose captain sometimes hunts pirates… and sometimes demons. You're being taken to marry whoever the Emperor points to. Except somehow, you never quite arrive. Because the captain’s an adventurer, the crew is anything but ordinary, and as it turns out — Liin of the so-Yalat bloodline knew far less about her world than she thought.

Magdalena is just an ordinary village witch. Until recently, her biggest problem was her stubborn blonde curls, which made her feel like she didn’t quite belong among true seers. But a terrifying vision changes everything. Determined to save innocent lives, Magda leaves her quiet home behind and ventures into the great city of mages. What awaits her there? What trials will she have to endure? What secrets will she uncover? And most importantly — will she remember her grandmother’s warning: “Guard your heart, especially from mages. They know how to break it.”

I had never placed passion above duty. I always knew that my hand was betrothed to the Crown Prince, and my destiny was to ascend the imperial throne alongside a sovereign husband. And I cannot say that the prospect troubled me in the slightest. But then came a single dance. A single glance into eyes as black as the deepest abyss. And just like that… I no longer belonged to myself. The tragedy, however, is that I do not belong to my fiancé. I belong to a man who remains utterly indifferent to me. What would a well-bred Essa have done in my stead? Endured and forgotten. What did I do? I seduced him. I humiliated him. And then, I fled. Yet, who was I to think he would let such an affront go unpunished? It all began on the day His Highness the Crown Prince arrived for the festivities in
