THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THE NOVEL FOR FREE AND GAVE IT SUPPORT IN ITS EARLY STAGES.～ ♡♡♡ " In life, there will always be pain and sorrow and suffering, but it's the bad times that make us truly appreciate the good.

Raze the Night 🌓 (Nightstar Book 2) by dragonthusiast

After their decisive victory over Orinovo, Lys-Akkaria's army crosses the border to take back territory that used to be theirs. With the combined forces of a lightweaver and shadowforger, Orinovo doesn't stand a chance. In spite of their newfound advantage, Ainreth finds himself doubting the war effort, though his concerns go unvoiced as freeing Lys-Akkarian minorities of Orinovan oppression takes precedence. Things, however, get much more complicated when they discover an ongoing conspiracy among the Orinovan monarchy. With a threat like this looming over them, the Lys-Akkarian leaders call for a siege to end the war before the problem becomes much worse. Ainreth's doubts of the warfare only continue to fester still, even despite the clear neccessity of the drastic measures being taken, resulting in high tensions. He and Fennrin argue more and more with each passing day, and things only escalate from bad to worse when Daryan Varilik gets involved with his own hidden agenda.

A Court of Shadows and Heartbreak by Jamie9214

OCxAzriel(acotar) This story follows Verena, a half high fae, half witch, who has lived with so much anger and despair since she was 16, when everything she knew and loved was taken from her by no other than the then High Lord of the Night Court. Centuries have passed, but Verena cannot let go of all the damage that has been done to her and to her people. This is why she finds herself in the last place she ever thought she would be at: the Night Court. She's after the last piece of her heritage; her mother's spell book, and nothing will stop her. Even if a certain shadowsinger has his eyes on her all the time. Oh, and did I forget to mention that the most powerful High Lord, Rhysand, is her brother? I do not own any of the Original characters from ACOTAR, only the ones I have created for this story. *Takes place before and after the events of ACOTAR ;) More coming soon...

Fallen Ember by Sunnameansmoon

"Hope was never meant to last. Not for people like us." The Second book in the Ashes to Ember series Elowen was the spark born from war - the child of a forbidden love that nearly tore nations apart. Saeloria and Kaelren risked everything to keep her safe. But when illness (or curse) begins to unravel the little girl's life, the fire they built their fragile peace upon starts to flicker. There's only one chance to save her. And it means finding the man Saeloria betrayed... and Kaelren cannot forgive. Nerez. Once a lover. Now a fugitive bound to a greater darkness. As they chase him across kingdoms and through the shadows of their past, Saeloria and Kaelren are forced to confront everything they buried: the lies, the touch that still lingers, and the cost of the choices they made. But not all stories end in salvation. Some end in ash.

Throliem : A Land Shrouded in Magic and Mystery Fanfic by Daniel_Moriarty

Every year, people vanish from our world without a trace-no explanations, no clues, no returns. In the third year, it was Daniel's turn-our hero-and his loyal childhood friend, Salem.

With every step he takes, the shadows grow darker, revealing a shocking truth: the real danger hasn't surfaced yet-it lies hidden behind closed doors. Will Daniel unravel the mysteries buried deep within this world? Will his strength and willpower be enough to withstand what awaits him in Tharulim? Or will this harsh realm consume him, just as it has consumed all who came before? 📖 Throliem: A Land Shrouded in Magic and Mystery has reached 66 chapters! 🔓 Up to chapter 33 is free to read. ❤️ Get early access and exclusive chapters on Patreon: 👉 patreon.com/HunterXD1000

A Court of Shadows and Light --- Azriel's Story ACOTAR by angleKouri

WARNING: This story contains major spoilers of the original book ACOTAR. In the aftermath of Solstice, Azriel's world is fracturing. Forbidden from pursuing Elain and watching his brothers' happiness from the shadows, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court teeters on the edge of a darkness five hundred years in the making. Each night, he destroys himself in the training ring, hoping pain might silence the whispers that urge him to take what he's been denied. Crystal arrives at the House of Wind carrying shadows of his own. A healer from the Winter Court with rose-quartz hair and ruby eyes, he possesses the rare gift of mending both body and soul. But the last time he opened his heart, it cost him everything, leaving Crystal with a shattered soul and a bone-deep terror of ever feeling that connection again. Neither expects the impossible--- Azriel's shadows reaching out to Crystal in the darkness, recognizing a kindred spirit in suffering. Crystal sees past Azriel's icy control to the male breaking beneath. Azriel glimpses the devastating loss Crystal hides behind his serene healer's mask. But some wounds run too deep for simple healing. Crystal flinches from their growing connection, terrified of what another bond might cost. Azriel struggles against centuries of self-denial, certain he doesn't deserve the light Crystal brings to his darkness. As war drums echo across Prythian and ancient enemies stir, both must decide: is the courage to love again worth the risk of losing everything? In a world where mates are destiny and bonds are forever, can two shattered souls forge something new from their broken pieces? Or will the coming storm destroy the fragile hope blooming between them? A story of second chances, healing, and finding light in the darkest places. Set in ACOTAR's world, "A Court of Shadows and Healing" explores what happens when the shadows finally find their light.

Break the Day 🌓 (Nightstar Book 1) by dragonthusiast

Fennrin is a shadowforger, a type of az-ari who have mastery over shadows. But all it's ever brought him is misery. People are afraid of the power that he himself barely understands, seeing his shadows as omens of bad luck and death. Forced to barely scrape by since his parents disowned him, Fennrin's life takes a turn when he is approached by Ainreth, a lightweaver and famous general, asking him to come with him to the royal court to be trained and help him stave off an assassin who's made an attempt on Ain's life, somehow able to counteract his powers. Even though Fennrin is suspicious of Ainreth's flirting and his arrogant attitude, Fennrin decides to go with him because his life can't get much worse. Thrust into a world of politics and power, Fennrin quickly learns just why shadowforgers are so infamous and how strong he could become, while, much to his chagrin, starting to fall for Ainreth. However, unwelcome feelings are only the start of his problems as the neighboring, tyrannical monarchy is preparing for war. And if Fennrin wants to survive, he will have to fight it.
