The dragon is sleeping; it's fading away. Only one can awaken it, only one can revive it. Will they make it in time? Cethore was once simply a land divided by the people within. Of the seven tribes, great power ran through their veins, each power unique to its tribe, but one tribe was blessed with power over all other tribes. They united the tribes to form the nation of Cethore, run by the Council of Sixeen. For many centuries, peace reigned, until the darkness crept into their hearts. Samari is a homeless orphan hoping to find a good life somewhere, a place where she belongs. Luck is not on her side as she runs into a street fight that is bigger than it seems. When she joins a guild that works for a dead king, she finds a version of herself she never knew existed--and friends she never had. But now she has to step up in order to keep the darkness at bay. With the fate of her world in the balance, she must decide between staying comfortable or fighting for greater power. [Fairy Tail meets Avatar: The Last Airbender] Warning!

One must lead. One must teach. One must transform. And all must decide: will they rise to the occasion, or let the world crumble?... Domi, a young thief abandoned at birth, just wants to save his dying foster mother. But first, he must commit the most dangerous heist of his life, snatch an artifact with miraculous healing powers from under the noses of the most powerful sorcerers in the land, and survive the awakening of his own magic. Daedalus, a young royal, just wants time to mourn his mother, who died two days ago. But first, he must ascend the Throne of Solitude she left behind, don the Onyx Crown she once wore, and become the next Princeps Worldholder, Keeper of Heaven and Earth. Valens, a seasoned sorcerer, just wants to return to the borderlands and battle rogue magic. But first, he must escape the twin burdens of taking a wife and an apprentice-duties that threaten to trap him in the city and tether him to a life he's spent decades avoiding. As the fates of these three strangers intertwine, the sorcery holding the world together begins to unravel. And beyond the planet's weakening magical protections, an ancient threat waits...

[FEATURED BY @YAFantasy] One run-away prince, two die-hard scientists, magic that may-or-may-not be real, and a land that wasn't supposed to exist. Welcome to Avadel. * * * Researchers Leavi Riveirre and Sean Rahkifellar want nothing more than to study how the cogs of the universe click together. When a plague unleashes inside their underground city, though, no amount of science can stop it. Determined not to be among the rising count of corpses, they flee. However, surviving topside will require more than just facing the brutal winter. If they want to make it, they'll have to relearn every fact they ever thought they knew. Prince Aster Jacques is destined to lead all the magicians of Morineaux. But no matter how many tomes he reads or how many times he practices to exhaustion, he remains a poor excuse for a wizard. Desperate to be the magician his country needs, he's willing to do whatever it takes-even if that means abandoning his kingdom to follow a mysterious note to a foreign one. When these three's paths twist together, they must learn to trust each other if they want any chance at a future. *~AWARDS~* 1st Overall - The Monthly Gemstone Awards - LIGHTNING ROUNDS - Wand Awards 1st in Fantasy - Piggyback Summer 2019 - Writers' Choice 2019 - The Black Cat 2019 - Winter Rose 2019 - The Life Elements - 2020 Punk Rock - The Privus 2020 - The Holiday - ILoveAwards - ECAwards 1st in Action/Adventure - Black and Gold Leaf 2019 - World of Champions 2 - The Court of Miracles - The Sass 2019 1st in Adventure - Fallen Angel 2018 - The Midnight - The Peacock 1st in Grammar/Spelling - Bedtime Stories Summer 2019 1st in Action - The Flavored 2019 *~CREDIT~* Much thanks to @lionobsession, @katianaelyse, @DeltaTangoEthan, @IWJKeller, and @WriterKellie for editing.

It's a simple fetch-and-carry. No questions asked. But in a world where curiosity is expensive and magic is a weapon of the elite, Neko is about to learn that her first fetch might very well be her last.

In the neon-drenched downpour of New London, magic doesn't save you. It collects a receipt written in blood.** **[A gritty, razor-sharp dark urban fantasy perfect for fans of *John Constantine*, *The Dresden Files*, and *Cyberpunk 2077*.]** ### ▍The Synopsis > *"In a city built on secrets, the hardest truth lies in the shadows."* > **Ethan Vance** is a man living on borrowed time. Once the Church's top rogue-hunter, he is now a cynical, chain-smoking underground scavenger. His blind left eye has been replaced by a volatile "Demon Eye"-a cursed artifact that allows him to track supernatural residue, but relentlessly consumes his sanity every time he uses it. When a routine investigation for a stolen ceremonial dagger leads Ethan to the horrific, soul-charred corpse of a black-market dealer, he finds himself trapped in a deadly setup. Standing in the shadows of the crime scene is **Maya Lin**-a cold, fiercely independent fugitive shadow-weaver whose own right arm is slowly turning into brittle stone from her magic's brutal backlash. Ambushed by the Special Investigation Unit and hunted by magic-crushing Null-fields, the cynical ex-Inquisitor and the desperate witch are forced into a fragile, razor-thin alliance. They must survive the night, clear their names, and navigate the treacherous, neon-lit underworld known as *The Nocturne*. But the conspiracy runs deeper than a single murder. Their investigation points straight to Victoria Thorne, a ruthless pharmaceutical tycoon and the secret leader of an ancient vampire cult. With the Blood Moon approaching, Victoria prepares a massive, city-wide ritual to tear down the protective Veil, sacrificing millions of human souls to awaken a slumbering, ancient deity. As New London teeter-totters on the brink of collapse, Ethan's past sins catch up to him. To stop a god and save what's left of his broken world.

Despite facing blatant discrimination against his race, he leads a relatively easy life working as a part-time law enforcer in an elite task force: the Guardian Council. But all that will change when his colleague, Gaius Deusdedit, discovers a unique spellcraft that traces back to their world's sinister origins during one of their missions. A reluctant Felix is dragged into a plot that may very well plunge their world into an eternal, literal hell. Facing a powerful criminal syndicate as well as sinister forces in the shadows, the duo will soon find themselves losing a lot more than they can handle.
