The Rogue Rider (An Inheritance Fanfiction) by Pennator

Two hundred and fifty years after the fall of Galbatorix, Alagaesia is a very different place. Trading routes have been opened up all through the world with the country being the center of it all. Ilirea has become a thriving city and has grown immensely, with large businesses bustling, and tens of thousands of citizens living their daily lives. With the dragon riders thriving with the country nothing seems wrong. But with a large city comes a dark underground, and with rumours spreading the streets of a powerful new weapon not even the elves can compete with, the dragon riders find themselves losing what little control they have over the criminals hiding in the shadows. Ragin, professional thief and assassin, has been tasked with an impossible mission. One that has never been achieved before. Stealing a dragon egg. But there is a surprise at the end of this mission, one that no one could foresee. (Disclaimer, I do not own the inheritance series or the characters that appear in it.

Dark Queen: The Cybelline Prophecies by dramatictealeaves

A 21st century covert ops agent, Cybelline found herself transported to a medieval world of magic and war without a clue of how she got there. Fine, she'll consider this as early, early retirement, ignore that she's now turned into a 12 year old, and try to have a quiet, peaceful life. Maybe she would buy a farm and raise some ducks. She didn't plan to have royalty fall over her doorstep and demand marriage for "taking his innocence". Granted, she tripped him first, but he deserved it. If her idyllic life had been undisturbed, she could even ignore the war between humans, the Fae, and the Folk. If they had left her alone, perhaps she would have never discovered power so potent that it could destroy the world. Perhaps she would have never become the most feared person in the realm.

Lost Destinies by wxnderland_addict

𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐀, where everything is happily ever after... until it isn't. Most people either loathe the idea of or don't believe in the legend of the Writer, a mysterious being in a faraway tower who writes the life story of every person who has ever lived with an enchanted pen. When an alliance of rogue mages decides to rise up against their destinies and take back power from the lazy, complacent royals ruling over the land, they don't realize what they've bargained for. An ancient curse is awakened by the death of Queen Snow White, and the gang of thieves robbing the Snow palace on the day she is killed become entangled in her destiny, changing theirs forever. Ramona Swan and her crew, fairytale misfits barely scraping by in an old van and stealing to live, find themselves swept up into a life they never asked for ⸻ discovering the Writer is real and that he needs them to save the world. They chase through dangerous forests, battle monsters, and brave raging seas in a race against time to stop the newly emerged Alliance of Darkness from shattering the most famous fairy tales of all time, tearing down everything Fairytaletopia stands for in the process. The Alliance is brimming with wavering loyalties and sides bound to split, but their goal is set, and they'll do everything in their power to achieve it. Little do they know the royals won't go down without a fight. The thieves never asked to be caught up in all of this, but no one ever can truly predict what fate has in store. They're fighting for something they've never believed in before and questioning everything they've ever known. Along the way they'll learn what family truly is... and forge their own destinies, together. ✹ GLORIOUS AWARDS 2023 WINNER: Action/Adventure, 1st Place. ✹ THE BOOK AWARDS 2023 WINNER: Action/Adventure, 3rd Place. ✹ Cover by @EdenHart87. © Ginger Beckett 2022-24

Night of Zealotry (Assassin Without a Name #3) by scottmarlowe

Take out the mark, retrieve the scroll, and avoid getting killed by his protection detail of Black Guard mercenaries. That was the job. Simple enough, or so the Assassin Without a Name thought, until he finds himself smack in the middle of three organizations all vying for possession of the item he just stole. Of the three, the worst is the Jakaree, a group of fanatical priests willing to kill--and to use deadly technology--to fulfill their mysterious goals. But by making the Assassin Without a Name a target, they're about to get a lesson in death themselves from one of the best.

A Shadowed Magick by writing_dragon13

Thief. Mage. Fae. Healer. Soldier. Outlaw. In Orelen, a land where mages rule and faeries lurk in forests, Bronwyn makes her living prowling the streets of Inasmont, picking the pockets of wealthy folk and performing the occasional burglary. But magick is dying throughout the country, leaving thousands of mages dead - or worse, without their magick, a shell of their former selves. So when High Mage Elora Caleris offers Bronwyn an ultimatum - to rot in prison or join her expedition to discover the source of the blight - she leaps at the chance to see the world outside the capital. An unseen danger simmers in the shadows. Glory or ruin are within reach. And the fate of Orelen lies in the hands of six souls... As long as they don't kill each other first.
