[Completed] The Royal Guard of the Empire has faithfully served Byzantia for nearly three centuries now. Hand picked from foreign lands, these guardsmen hold no political ties, carry no agendas, and bare no creeds except to those who sit upon the Onyx Throne. They are vanguards, protectors, loyalists. They are Vangen. Change has come to the Empire. An Empress sits upon the throne now, destroying any who would rebel against her with both fire and iron. To the east, her loyal Vangen work to quash the newest rebellion, until a letter arrives one day, marked with the Empresses seal. The contents within bare only dread and disturbance for the Guardsmen. The Black Ministry, the former Emperor's cabal of Sorcerers, have turned against the Empress. The Vangen's return is bittersweet. The city they once called home is now a battlefield, every street a choke-point. Every home a possible nesting ground for rebels. The Royal Guard will have to fight tooth and nail to put down the Ministry and protect the Empress, but the deeper they go, the harder the lines begin to blur. In a world where good and evil does not exist, where then does a man's loyalty lie? (Comments and Feedback are always appreciated)

The Bloody Rose by SelJKoo

Blood Keepers Book Two I didn't think this would be how living as a Keeper would be. It was challenging yet at the same time I had a life of my own. I thought everything was fine but then I found out something. Something big. My family's link to the royal throne was closer than I thought. Perhaps there was a reason behind me being chosen as a Keeper. Then love falls into it. Life was great. I was happy. Then the Queen introduced me to someone I can't help but to feel as though I have to help her. But what if it's hopeless? Is love really enough?

Bleeding Hearts by bbllaacckkaangel

"I take what I want, princess, no matter what." TRUTH is hidden behind the LIES. Secrets are buried within the secrets. Darkness lurks in the Light and Light breathes in the Darkness. A tale of "BLOOD, SACRIFICES, AND OATH" What will be the outcome when their worlds collide? Will they be each other's salvation or each other's demise? My works are the outcome of my wild and roller-coaster crazy imagination that I nurtured with dedication and great love. Cheap liberalism and unwanted feminism are neither appreciated here nor wanted. So, if you have some self-esteem issues then take it elsewhere because I will report and block every negative comment and commentator. I hold all the rights under my name and by all laws. So think before trying to copy/paste and plagiarism. Cheating doesn't sit well with me and I am not generous with forgiveness. Happy Reading :)

For a cover like mine, please go talk to @subconscious_bitch. She made this one and that of the sequel with incredible accuracy and real professionalism. She seems like a really nice human as well :)

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.

A Garden of Blood by AGardenofBlood

In the realm of Palasia, where the Silver Church's iron grip extends across the continent, the conquered Illuri people still cling to the old ways, praying to spirits that have grown quiet. At the heart of this struggle are four souls bound by fate: Nodalen, a princess burdened by the weight of her bloodline and a legacy of obedience; Liwani, a boy worshipped as a living spirit among the Illuri, yearning to break free from the sacred expectations that imprison him; Clay, a young warrior trapped in the cruel affections of the corrupt electun, desperate for a chance at redemption or escape; and Mary, who views the world through a lens of survival, poised to defy the forces that would see her subjugated. The Silver Church drowns sinners publicly to cleanse them of their sins, wielding faith as both shield and sword. Yet even as their grip tightens, a terrible threat rises. The cult of the Lord of Souls, a mysterious order promising eternal life, begins to swell in numbers, sowing discord in a land already teetering on the edge of chaos. As rebellion brews and the Silver Church's gaze turns inward, alliances are forged in blood, and secrets long buried begin to surface. From the frigid dungeons of Silvertown, where sinners face their watery fate, to the sunlit shores of the Illuri, where ancient rituals persist, Palasia is a land steeped in violence and deceit. Kings and commoners alike are caught in a web of treachery spun by those who crave power and those who would see it crumble. As Nodalen, Liwani, Clay, and Mary navigate the ever-changing tides of loyalty and betrayal, they are drawn toward a reckoning that will test their resolve and reshape their fates. For within the shadows of Palasia lies a hidden truth, a place where all blood flows, where sins are sown and reaped -- a garden of blood that nourishes the roots of a darker age long prophesied.
