Leah is a Radiant, a dying race that is able to crystallise Light. Plagued for centuries by a parasite able to turn them into mindless monsters known as Lightless, the Radiant's homeland has been long since lost. Leah's seen what the parasite has done to her people's morale, and she's determined to be the one who finds the cure. Only the League of Light still challenge the expansion of the Lightless, but new recruits are growing scarcer, their Radiant blood thinner as the League struggle to maintain numbers. When Leah arrives with her Radiant features and the full ability to manipulate Light, not all of them see her as a blessing. There's a divide between the pure Radiants and the humans who can claim their blood, and with shadows in the League, Leah's going to have to wade through it all if she wants to find her cure.

It's a new year and Gauntlet finalist Codi James is back for round two. With her new position at the top ranked Battlecast Academy and with last year's victor no longer competing, it seems like the fates have aligned to give Codi a clear run at winning the tournament once and for all. Armed with state of the art equipment, a rigorous training schedule and a scholarship fund to let her focus on nothing but the Gauntlet all year round, she has one goal: first place. But this year the game has changed. She's not the plucky underdog anymore. Codi has the weight of expectations on her shoulders, and there are those who view her leap to fame through jealous eyes. This year her battles won't be confined to the arena, and now she has everything to lose. [Sequel to The Gauntlet]

:❤: Highest Ranked #108 in ROMANCE :❤: :?: Highest Ranked #1 in 'elements':?: Fiera has lived in the human realm her entire life. Her destiny as clear to her as it could be. Shift to the Elementalist realm at 16 and train in her element. It seemed all fine on paper but being an orphan in a dimension where lineage, heritage and bloodline could effect your today and tomorrow may be a bigger problem than she thought. Technically, she's a nobody among the elites and higher society Elementals. In reality, she is the target of one of the most dangerous seniors in the dimension. Avoiding her and keeping up with classes is a different ball game. Believing in a stranger claiming to be her brother, or believing in her guardian who has lied to her her entire life? Believing she was abandoned in a forest, or a child actually loved? Believing in love, or following a faith? She has grown up alone, hidden behind a wall of lies which hides a heritage and bloodline that may put her life in serious danger. Trapped in ages old customs, is she doomed to make the same mistake or fall prey to her own strength? WARNING: Mild Swearing and Violence. Slightly sexual content. ©SydCarv 2017
