For six long generations war, waged in the lands of Adora Halfryta. It all began during the reign of 2nd Cleric. With the passing of the Temple's edict - The colonies across the continents of Halfryta, fought. In order to establish their own power, dominion, territories & place in history, for six generations honourable battle raged across these holy lands. In the face of the Holy Temple, and its' counter part Halfryta's Scions, it would be after the fighting that the lords of Halfryta fully emerged a third ruling faction. This happened when the fighting was brought to an end by 6th generation Scion, bearer of fire, Azure King Aohd Egan. Few non-human settlements remain in open sight near civilization after experiencing much indiscriminate torment. Peace came at a cost. Eight years since the end of The Lords' War: the divide between the Adora Temple, The Lords, and The Scions is clearer than ever. Now, King Aohd's son Marise Egan, the soon to be crowned, 7th generation scion of fire and his friends must find for themselves destiny is choice as is truth. The stench of chaos lingers still, and it is why the scions exist. Has a new age of order truly begun? Or will chaos tip the scales yet? Only The Goddess Halfryta knows. Journey with young Fenris as he settles the deep inner conflicts between his conscience and his obligation to his family and nation. Torn by the actions of his father, a powerful and violent king in support of seceding from the holy teachings - siding with the lords seeking to militarize the whole continental world on the heels of the Lord's War. Fenris, a boy far too mature for his age tasked too early with drawing the line between personal duty, and destiny - while participating both in campaigns of war, and teachings of peace.

Thank you for checking out my very first book, Order & Fate: Rebellious Children! This is the first part of the Order & Fate Series, which I plan on making many more parts for in the future. I've spent the past two years studying battle shounen and fantasy novels, and while I'd say this book is a sufficient love letter to those wonderful forms of literature, I'm also proud to say I've done my part to carve out my own unique style. Another thing, I have a decent stockpile of chapters stored, which I plan on expanding upon each day. That being said, this series won't be dropped or put into indefinite hiatus, and chapters will be released daily unless otherwise stated. Finally, I've done multiple grammar and spell checks, so there shouldn't be any immersion-breaking grammatical issues. If you do find one, though, please leave a comment, and I'll revise! As this is my very first work, any feedback would be very much appreciated! Thank you again for checking this series out! The story is also available on Webnovel, Scribblehub, and Royal Road.

They said Cain Norgaard was like a ghost. Cold, detached...uncomplex. Easily read. But they were wrong. In a small town, stitched together by secrets, the Student Council of Europe's most renowned academy, Hypatia International High School stands strong, debating overly complicated matters - like the cafeteria menu, around their oval table. But the last high school year's just around the corner, and seven teenagers are bound to learn just how far love bends before it shatters. School starlets, mean girls, golden boys, the loners, the football team captains, the "perfect" ones - all hiding something. And all about to be unraveled. Victoria believes she knows how the world works. Alexia thinks her mother is always right. Mason just tries to survive the night. Agathe says love's a frail thing. And Lewis hides something not even he is aware of. This is not a story about who we are supposed to be; it's a story about who we became when no one was there to see us. When no one was looking. When we could finally breathe. About the masks that you put on to be loved...and the one that won't come off. Eternal Spring is a soft detonation, the kind you don't feel until it's already too late. A psychological coming-of-age story tangled in friendship fallouts, repressed memories, moral grey zones, identity crisis, and the aching need to feel understood. You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll want to throw your phone at the wall and never speak to anyone again. And when the last page turns...you'll realize you were never reading the story that you thought you were.

Aloof, unpredictable, a storm in human form. that clouds the crevices of her mind. But when their worlds collide on a cool April night, something shifts. Sticks. An as stolen moments turn into lingering glances, texts give way to tangled emotions, and sneaking out becomes a pattern; Katharine finds herself crossing lines she'd always sworn she never would. Over the course of one sweltering, reckless summer, the girl known to follow every rule spirals head first for the boy who makes her question all of them. But what starts as a quiet rebellion quickly spirals into something deeper, more impulsive. Something that might come with consequences they aren't ready to face.
