There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. ***** For four hundred years the Everburning City has withstood the advance of the life-strangling fog known as the Gloam. Its walls have held back five invasions, but on the eve of the sixth, the city's inhabitants know things have changed. Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding. The city's last and most desperate line of defence comes in the form of the Crafters, individuals who can channel the power of fire, though they risk their sanity each time they do. The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath. Risking their lives, they mount their airships, determined to save the last bastion of humanity - the Everburning City. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

Highest ranking 193 in fantasy Caliga Neve is normal for a teenager, sure she's never been able to keep up a relationship, is an introvert, lives in a foster family, and has an obsession with technology. But that all changes when the one person she hates, the bad boy, Einor Barloc, saves her. He saves her from a horrible accident, and in the process finds out about her secret the one thing she's been hiding for years now. But now, he knows, and she knows that only bad things will come from him knowing. And the next day she is kidnapped by a group working under the government, the D.E.A.D or the definite educated assassination department. They are people who hunt down threats to the country and government, and will kill just about anyone. Yes, just the place she wanted to be, but they keep her against her will. They force her to marry the son of the leader in hopes of producing more people with these powers. And who would it be but Einar, the one person she hates more than anyone else, the reason she's in this hell hole, the person she hates from the depth of her soul. They both rather kill each other than marry the other. But they're forced to work together when they find that the D.E.A.D have a lot more planned for both of them then they say.

Edited by @KelseyDragon17 Anna lives in a world where by the time they turn eighteen, every man and woman must have a beast bond. Those of them left unbonded are cast out of the city, deemed violent and insane; for if even a rat will not lower itself to bond with you, you must be the lowest of the low. Anna has lived a simple, easy life as the part of one of the most powerful families in the land. Each member of her family had bonded mighty rare beasts, a sign of great power. It boosted them through society's ranks. Her father had bonded with one of the last of the unicorns. Her brother, a manticore. Her mother, a great eagle. Even her adopted sister bonded with a lion. But as her eighteenth birthday approaches, and with no beast having choose her, she must make a choice. Stay, and bring shame upon her and her family... Or leave the city on her own terms. Striking out across the Ashlands, Anna will discover an adventure she wasn't looking for, and a prophesy she has stumbled into the middle of. Can she bring two species who once slaughtered each other together to save themselves? Can she win this battle? Or the ones ahead? Highest Ranking #7 in Fantasy Featured August 18th
