Goldmedallion Stories

In the city of Crea, everybody has a mark. Good or bad, it tells others what you've done to earn that mark. Some people earn their marks by saving people, others earn them by committing crimes. No matter who you are or where you live, you get a mark by the age of fifteen. Well, almost everyone. Roxanne Vixen is about to turn fifteen, but she has one problem. She has no mark. She's done everything that other people do to get their marks, to no avail. Worse still, if she doesn't get her mark by her birthday, she'll be sent to Curi Academy, the school for all the teens without marks. No one leaves there until they get their marks. And it could take months--even years--to get your mark. Roxanne's story of powers and fitting in with the crowd may not be what she asked for when she asked for her mark, but who knows? Maybe being Markless is better than anyone thought. |Start Date: 8/17/16| |Completion Date: 12/7/16|

There exists another world, a world offering much more than what Earth has. A world brimming with the stories parents often tell their children, whimsical tales of witches, wizards, and spirits. Those stories tell of the land of Esrar. However, the fantasy that is often passed to the ears of young children is rapidly losing peace. The bond between cities Lostrona, the shining capital, and Felport, a run-down city standing in the shadows, is beginning to shatter. War erupts between the two cities, the fighting refusing to cease until the other surrenders, or is left in ruins. As the war rages, Serena is away from the fighting, living on Earth where she plans to tend to her garden peacefully. It is when she meets Jasper, who witnesses her use magic, that she is once again dragged into the realm she has spent so long shielding herself from. There is no escape from the war once she sets foot on the soil of Esrar, for she learns that she and Jasper are much more meaningful to the fate of Lostrona than she ever could have imagined.

Ezara ran for her life, escaping the destruction of her home. As well, the responsibility to protect a group of the village children was thrust upon her, and her only hope was an old recluse she had always been told to avoid. The last thing this recluse, Bogrel, wanted was to rescue a bunch of children. But in doing so, he might find redemption for his bloody past, and find salvation for his homeland. Their flight from their pursuer, a young, ambitious Lord who is fueled by an ancient evil, takes them across the known world. But running proves futile, as they are drawn back into the endless violence they tried to leave behind, and will end up changing the course of the history.
