"When the first light fades and shadows rise, the harbinger shall walk among us-neither savior nor destroyer, but the choice between them." In the fractured realms of Erythoria, seven kingdoms face the oncoming tide of darkness. Whispers of ruin carry tales of relentless sorcerers, ancient prophecies, and kingdoms burned to ash. The only hope lies in the rise of seven heroes-bearers of legendary relics, chosen to wield unparalleled power. Yet, within the storm of fate stands a prince. Born under an ill-starred prophecy and branded as the harbinger of doom, his very existence threatens to tip the balance. Haunted by the world's hatred and the weight of his destiny, he must navigate a perilous path between light and shadow. As darkness consumes the land and alliances crumble, the prince's journey unfolds-fraught with treachery, desperation, and the delicate whisper of hope. Can he defy his foretold fate and emerge as a beacon of light? Or will he succumb to the shadow that beckons, becoming the villain that prophecy demands? In a world teetering on the edge of ruin, the line between savior and destroyer blurs. Destiny calls, but will it be answered?
The Trials of the Crowned Heart by Jazzyjjack123
21 parts Ongoing
I was born to wear a crown but never to choose my own fate. They say the trials are tradition. That six princes fighting for my hand is how peace is kept. But I know better. These halls reek of secrets. My father won't meet my eyes, and my future is being bartered behind closed doors. And then he arrived. Prince Malric. The dark one. The uninvited one. The one whose kingdom was never supposed to exist. The moment I met him, I knew: the danger isn't the trials... it's the truth no one dares to speak. They want me silent. Obedient. Married off like a pawn on a game board. But I've never been good at playing by the rules. So if they won't tell me what he's really here for, I'll find out myself. Even if it means sneaking through shadows, breaking royal law, or letting my heart betray me. Let them try to control me. I am not a prize.
The Ghost Princess - Graylands vol. I (EXCERPT) by M_Walsh
3 parts Complete
Graylands is where people go when they don't want to be found. A neutral, mostly frontier country between two opposing empires, it is a haven for drifters, pilgrims, outlaws, and everything in between hoping to build a new life, find adventure, or just disappear. Katrina Lamont is one such individual. Once upon a time, she was the Chosen One--a warrior charged with a great and heroic destiny. But when she finished her journey, there was no happy ending waiting for her. Now she lives as an embittered, alcoholic drifter, haunted by the ghosts of her past. But when an evil sorcerer, Jacob Daredin, seeks to fulfill an ancient prophecy that may grant him god-like power, Katrina will have to take up the sword once again as she finds herself caught in a race to find the young woman whose sacrifice is the key to Daredin's mad dream. Along the way, she will contend with Krutch Leeroy--an infamous outlaw who is not all he seems--and cross paths with Lily Blackthorn--a perky, but mysterious woman with a dark secret of her own. As Daredin's forces close in, they will traverse a haunted landscape of pirates, demons, killers, con-men, an immortal juggernaut, and worse in an adventure where the line between destiny and plain bad luck is razor thin.
