The Earth is nothing but a poisonous shadow of its former self. From its war-beaten ashes, new societies and empires are reborn. Far removed from the gleaming skylines of Levem Teraam, the wanderers and religious tribes of Malkuth occupy the harsh deserts, foraging for whatever scraps of technology they can find to survive. Death comes to them from all sides-yet something darker and much more sinister seems to be lurking beneath the sands, shrouded behind centuries of mystery: the being they call the Shadow Man.

Transformers: Prime: The New Beginning (Updated 2025) by MelSpyRose

Five years have passed since the heroic sacrifice of Optimus Prime and the valiant efforts of the Autobots brought an end to the Chaos Bringer, Unicron, and marked the rebirth of Cybertron from the ashes of war. Peace had finally returned to the planet, and for the first time in centuries, the sparks of its people could beat without fear. Under a fragile but hopeful new order, the Autobots began to rebuild not just their shattered world-but their way of life. But peace is never eternal. In the shadows of Cybertron's forgotten warzones and ancient catacombs, a new threat rises-a cunning and ruthless warlord who has seized control of the fractured Decepticon remnants. Driven by vengeance and dark ambition, he plots to awaken Unicron once more and plunge the universe into chaos. As the Autobots scramble to prevent another catastrophe, an ominous prophecy begins to echo across the stars-one that speaks of betrayal, redemption, and a warrior of lost origin. Meanwhile, on Earth, a mysterious Cybertronian drifter known only as Orion Eclipse searches for the missing pieces of his past. Haunted by visions, fragmented memories, and the pain of a forgotten legacy, Orion is drawn into a conflict he does not fully understand. Once branded a Decepticon, now hunted by both friend and foe, he must choose between the dark past he's been chained to and the light that could define his future. As old enemies resurface and new alliances are forged, the fate of both Earth and Cybertron hangs in the balance. Will Orion Eclipse rise to become the hero Cybertron never knew it needed... or will his buried past drag them all into oblivion? In the end, one question remains: Will he be the one to light their darkest hour?

Trepidation: Act 1 by CashewNutt12

10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.)

Legacy by KevinDDodge

If you could live forever, would you want to? For some that is not a question, but an invitation to a land of dreams - a place where the power of one's own Will is manifested to be as real and as magical as the touch of rainfall or as destructive as a wildfire. As with all wondrous gifts, there is always a price to pay... Upon the turn of a century, initiates are called to serve "The Cycle" and rise to immortality. Now on the path to ascension himself, though he struggles to remember why, Derek Harkson journeys through the trials of the immortals where failure could mean death or far worse. When conspired against by timeless beings of an ancient order, gods, devils, and a monster that makes all others tremble at the mere mention of its name... Derek wonders if he and the other initiates even stand a chance of surviving. All seek the power of The Cycle. All fear the hidden order who champions its will. But a path once chosen cannot be abandoned. Even as Death itself stands in front of all who would divine the mysteries of immortality, the most chilling and gravest of perils shall always loom behind...

Force Destiny by EdenWoodsParker

Immediately following the events of The Last Jedi, the battle for the galaxy continues between the First Order and the last of the Resistance. As the new Supreme Leader takes the throne, the First Order is focused on finding and destroying all who oppose them. The Resistance had disappeared into hiding and desperation has forced them to explore the gray areas of war. Meanwhile, on opposite sides of the war, Rey and Kylo Ren are forced to face the realities of their bond, their complicated relationship, their loyalty to their causes, and their understanding of the Force. Could their star-crossed connection be tied to the fate of the galaxy? This is a slow burn! Enemies to friends to lovers. This story continues the arcs and themes beautifully woven through The Last Jedi, as well as the narrative from the previous two trilogies. All plot elements are intended to be canon-compliant through TLJ. This is 100% complete.

Immortal Presage: Dark Prophecy by Angelvahn

Note: This is a small preview of the final book. Click here to purchase a copy of the book: http://a.co/gOUs3Sz ____________________________________________________ What are memories to us that live and die; Is it joy, pain, regret, hope, pride, hatred. Do those memories become the things we cherish for a lifetime? If the mind forgets does our heart remember? All these things wrapped in emotions and feelings; do these memories make us mortal, do they make us human? In a world of legends, where religion, science, and magic meld together, there are those who live their lives as well as they can, holding on to their memories and allowing their feelings to guide and move them toward a better future through life and into death. And then there are those whose lives are unending, everlasting, and unchanging-the Amara- the Immortals. Four lives have begun to move along a path bound to the fate of every immortal. Although their lives cannot be given up or taken, they move according to a destiny-a curse-that was left behind by those of the past many centuries ago. A prophecy has foretold the deaths of the deathless, but who or what could bring an end to the Immortals? In this novel, the immortals must face the possibility of extinction as the events of an ancient prophesy begin to unfold.

Methaphoras by JeanDuvalier

In the expanding multiverse of Di'aull, controlled by Methas unaware of good and evil, the birth of a new universe is endangered by the appearance of an old enemy. Thanks to the decisive action of a cartographer and a wizard, the planned unfoldment continues as planned at the very last moment. When Ardor, the master builder of Marantium, gets a promotion to be the Great Mantlelord of Urantium, he undergoes mental bewilderment whereby he chooses the wrong employee as his most important assistant. The cartographer, who fell into disfavor, is trading an intoxicant substance that he smuggled into the feast to obtain a high post in the new empire. With some luck and lots of eloquence, he can bend the path of his destiny to establish peace in the rival home worlds. Ardor overcomes his confusion and notices that creation does not fully mature to fruition because the ruler of the inner realm roams between the stars and immerses himself in creation, while others break down his omnipotence in favor of their own races. Envy, conspiracy, rivalry, betrayal, and deceit are reigning. Unfortunately, the survival of Urantium is yet again at stake. After careful deliberation, the Mantlelord chooses a new master builder who is as difficult to find as a striped unicorn

SHADOW OF IMPERIUM by Maerovigian9

In the ashes of a fallen empire, one man carries the shadow of a thousand betrayals. The Supreme Imperium is no more. In its place rises the Supremacium-a cabal of zealots and conspirators who have erased history, silenced the old guard, and chained the Verge Galaxies under their tribute laws. Regent Thadeus Galantine, master of the Galactic Pantheon, rules with a hand as heavy as the void. Galek Kane Thaeron, once Lord Marshall of the First Fleet and heir of a noble house, has been cast down as a traitor. For ten Tetherhadron Cycles he has rotted in the prison-world of Perilion Prime, stripped of title, honor, and hope. But Kane's fall was no accident-it was a purge, meant to bury the truth of a murdered Emperor, a lost heir, and the vanishing of the Imperial Memorium itself. Now, with the aid of a cunning spy and a haunted psionic pilot, Kane escapes into the storm of rebellion. On the edges of the Verge he must forge unlikely alliances, uncover forbidden archives, and confront the mysteries the Supremacium has tried to erase. The fate of the galaxy trembles between shadow and flame-and Kane must decide whether he fights to restore the Imperium, or to forge something greater from its ruins. Shadow of Imperium begins the War-Giver Trilogy, a saga of betrayal, rebellion, and the last stand of empires.
