When a knight-in-training sets out on a dragonquest to win the hand of a fair princess, he expects to return in time for a pavilion wedding in the fall. But after fifty years of tracking his quarry across godforsaken hinterlands, he is starting to wonder if he has the stamina to finish the job.

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.

Thousands of years ago, one of Sherath's distant ancestors refused to take on a quest. The task has to be done - it's vitally important - but nobody knows exactly what it is. Their race is dying out, and time is running out; and until Sherath comes into his full powers, he can't do it anyway. They have been waiting three hundred years for the saviour spoken of in an ancient prophecy to lead them on a long journey to adulthood and open the doors for them. But their saviour, and the key to success, turns out to be a volatile teenager from modern-day Earth. Sherath has hundreds of years of education in how to use the Power he will have as an adult, with little access to it as yet. Farinka, on the other hand, has access to vast amounts of Power, but no training in how to use it, what can and can't be done, and what is dangerous to try!

An unlucky noblewoman precipitates a civil war and falls for a half-demonic beggar with a self-destructive healing talent. Summary: Tien Lyn was born lucky, but her luck ran out fast.

Once she helps an unassuming healer, Demure Yu, avoid execution for consorting with demons, her list of powerful enemies grows ever faster. To shelter the man she loves, Tien Lyn has to do what it takes to outrun her own legend. If you see this book on any other site, they'd stolen it.

**Featured on DARK FANTASY and ADULT FICTION reading lists** WARNING: EATING OR DRINKING WHILE READING THIS STORY IS HIGHLY INADVISABLE. Once Upon A Time, Good Omens, Monty Python, and Arrested Development had a back-alley three-way and birthed a fairytale. Gerald wasn't supposed to be stuck living seven centuries in the future. He definitely wasn't supposed to be "mentoring" The Dark Lord's progeny in the hopes that she would decide to save the world rather than destroy it. In fact, he wasn't even supposed to be named Gerald (the name of every other male in his family for three hundred years), because everyone assumed a weak-chinned, balding, forgettable man, who was just a magician, could never be who Geraldo The Foreshadower prophesied. But that's what assuming gets you, and here he was saddled with a fate he never asked for, in a time he didn't know, surrounded by people he didn't want to like, and he was out of Firewine AGAIN! The Dark Heir is a darkly satirical tale of assumptions, anti-heroes, and apocalypses, where the road to hell is actually a themed water-park slide covered in slightly less urine than a real one. It drops literary and film references faster than an NYC socialite drops names, and promises endless laughs - including, but not limited to, sad chuckles, guffaws, uncontrollable giggles at inappropriate moments, brays, barks, cackles, snorts, cachinnations, and the occasional howl (though that may be the Welsh Werewolves showing up unannounced). Consider yourself warned... Reviews: "Completely and adorably bonkers," says @floranocturna "Hilarious in every way. Even when I cringed, I laughed," says @LadySapphire2018 Winner of The Trident Awards

Discover the history, hidden traditions, and everyday magic of one of the Wizarding World's best‑kept secrets: Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this companion work, I explore how Ilvermorny came to be, what life is really like on its mist‑covered mountain, and how each house - Horned Serpent, Pukwudgie, Thunderbird, and Wampus - shapes the students who call it home. From sorting ceremonies and classes to late‑night common room conversations and rivalries in the corridors, this book offers a closer look at the culture, customs, and character of North America's greatest magical school. New to this edition are some of Ilvermorny's most enduring ghost stories and legends, written by me. These tales of restless spirits, ancient curses, and haunted hallways are woven into the school's history, adding fresh layers of lore for readers who want to see beyond what's written in official records. This book is designed as an informational companion to my other works, Secrets Of The Gordian Knot and Emaline Goode: The Raven of Ilvermorny. Together, they expand the mythology of Ilvermorny, shining a light on the students, staff, secrets, and stories that rarely make it into textbooks. If you're curious about Ilvermorny, its houses, its legends, or the wider Voyageurs Era of the Wizarding World, this is the place to start. And if you have any questions, theories, or ideas about the school or its lore, feel free to ask - I love talking about Ilvermorny. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Ilvermorny. Both belong to J.K. Rowling. The canon world and concepts are hers; I am simply expanding on them with my own original stories and interpretations. My beliefs do not reflect hers.

Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart. Read it at your own discretion. The seen universe got split into seven factions: Ice-planet (UU1); Earth (UU2); Energee (UU3); Bizzaria (UU4); Elvian-society (UU5); Acheron (UU6), and Stellar (UU7). After the Great war of Blue and Red Dragonlords, humanity finally received peace. Dvapar Yuga ended and Kali Yuga started. Charles Vi Bezereth, a prince from Bezereck of the Planet Bizzaria, gets entangled in the lingering malevolence of Kali Yuga. As ignorant as he is, his foolish recklessness and childish pride lead him to grave trials. Possessing the most overpowered tic 'Augmenton', blinds his judgment, and his decisions deter from that of a hero as he embarks on a journey of self-development. With overwhelming determination and sacrifices to make, he sets forth to become the Universe's first Emperor. His actions disrupt the peace this Universe once achieved and will decide the fate of an ancient prophecy that the Oracles made.

Now he must find it within himself to fight for a world he barely knows, navigate complicated relationships and twisted loyalties to save everyone he has ever loved or die trying. _______________________ My heart panged at the thought of being alone. Owen got up to leave, my body now thoroughly warmed and safe under the mounds of blankets. I reached for his arm, holding him there for a second, begging him with my eyes. "Please don't leave me alone," I mumbled into the pillows, my words muffled by the fabric, and slowly, as if I would shatter into a million pieces if he moved too harshly, Owen crawled in beside me, holding me in his arms. "Ok." He murmured into my hair. "Ok." He repeated, and I drifted off. For the first time in a long time, I felt safe. Cover by Kimkunkur

His only solace is his best friend and crush, Harper. In a grand plan designed to help him confess his love to Harper, Sam accidentally sets off a series of events that lead to her being kidnapped and taken to Hell. Racked with guilt, Sam makes a bold decision for the first time in his life: He's going to rescue his only friend.

I can feel my heart racing against my ribs as if it is about to tear itself out of my chest as I gaze into a pair of violet-silver eyes. They are locked onto my own with a predator's intensity. It takes every ounce of self-control I have to keep up this foolish staring contest, but I keep at it. I will not appear weak in my own court! The stranger does not blink but offers the tiniest of smirks, as if sensing my growing distress. I take in a deep breath and silently will some steel into my spine as I, at last, address him. "What is your name and what business do you have here?" The stranger grins and instead of bowing gives a mocking salute. His voice is soft and dark, carrying the promise of death, "I am, Lord Virgil and I have come on request of the king to help him against the growing threat." I swallow hard as he steps closer toward me, those uncanny eyes never leaving my face. "It would be wise if you stayed a safe distance away from me, Prince Roman. I bring nothing but pain wherever I tread." Virgil warns. Before I can reply he brushes past me down the hall toward the throne room, dark cloak fluttering behind him like a pair of wings.
