'A Sorcerer's Demons' is a fantasy-werewolf hybrid which answers the question "what if a mage became a werewolf?" Of course there's more awaiting us in the darkness than that as we follow Zanthos, the betrayed mage, through his whirlwind tour of the Freelands at the hands of slavers. Follow our hero as he wrests back control of his own mind from the rage-fueled insinuations of 'the beast,' and learns that facing your demons is more than just a metaphor. Updates on Thursdays and Sundays.

*Previously Featured, reached #3* Inspired by her father, 16-year-old Ruby never misses an opportunity to challenge her village's ridiculous rules. Her friends and brothers try to dissuade her hot-headed methods, but Ruby can't help it. She doesn't believe Seers should determine the fate of individuals before a crime is committed, and she doesn't back down, not even when the Seers banish her father into the deadly forest. When Ruby spots survivors beyond the gates, she breaks every rule to save them. She lands the same fate as her father, only to be saved by a psychic instead of banished. But why would a Seer protect a troublesome girl? With the village out to get her, Ruby pulls one last stunt that destroys the lives of everyone she has ever known, and to her horror, Ruby learns the dark and twisted truth behind why the psychic saved her.
