adventure magic scifi-fantasy steampunk

Prepare for a journey to a new literary universe with fantasy, scifi, steampunk, and adventure rolled into one. 

The land of Ruin is a brutal, harsh, and unforgiving desert with little water and less kindness. Do not mistake its brutality for lack of life though. Thousands of traders and people from all walks travel its vast reaches looking to make their fortune in the trade of "black crystal" - the mineral that fuels everything from airships, to landships, to currency itself. There is even rumor of its awakened power properties.

Jim is just such a trader and frankly, he isn't very good at it. But, things are about to change for him. Ever the introverted hermit, he's about to be thrust into a world of intrigue, magic, and colorful people. Ruin gives few second chances. Don't waste yours.
  
Note to the reader: This is not marked mature because any mention of sexual content is extremely brief and only hinted at. My writing typically contains minimal bad language too. However, there are some places where it is used. I would land this book somewhere around PG13.

This is an ongoing series of novels. Book 1 is complete and available for purchase at multiple retailers. See https://www.brandonberryhill.com/ for all links.All Rights Reserved

Ruins In The End (We Three Mages, Book Two) by demonslayr62

(Highly Recommend first book should be read before this one.) Six months. Six months have passed since the Mages of Legend separated to follow the path that they believed was theirs to take. Reunited at where their adventure began, they are stronger than they had ever been. Their new journey takes them to a place they could have only dreamed of: The Temple of Creations, the birth of the Legend itself. There, they will learn not only why and how the Legend was created, but the answer to the question that has been eating away at them: Who is Aftemath really? All signs have pointed to him being the original wielder of the Legend but is that all there is to it? Why three books if there was only one of him? Is it because of the three base magics or is it something more? Not only will the Temple, which is hidden deep within the L’Agode Desert, give them the answers but the path they follow to it will as well. Join these brave souls on another journey that will further their understanding of each other and the Legend they hold.

Frosted Warfare #FEATURED by JKEbooks

"He marched his way through the stone halls as the hellbeasts attacked him. He went right through them, cutting down every creature in his path. He sliced through one's wing, crippling it as he snapped its neck. The next one came down swinging an axe while Silver sidestepped, running his sword through its neck as its head dropped to the ground with a thud. " Hello, I'm J.K.E. I really hope that you enjoy the story before you as it unfolds. I wanted to take time to tell you quickly that this book is all based on different myths, gods and goddesses of different times congregating at once, coexisting if you will. I only wrote this because of my love for fantasy and magic, and how my imagery "..casts the reader into the field with the characters." Enough of my bragging, and storytelling. The book is broken into three parts, each explaining a different part of the journey, their struggles, and conflicts. I hope you enjoy.

Before I started publishing my story on Wattpad I've had several people read it and they've told me it was good and they enjoyed reading it and I hope you all enjoy it as well. I've always been told I have a very active and creative imagination and I should use that i it a like and follow for more chapters to come. Please feel free to point out any grammatical errors you find that I may have missed as I'm constantly editing the story to make it better. *If any names in my story are that of real world people it's completely coincidental, I use a random name generator, which creates countless names, to help with the naming of some of my characters.

Static by hattielynn

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

The Dark Ages: Convergence (Prequel to the P.O.E. Chronicles) by shadowcheah

*This story is the prequel to the P.O.E. Chronicles and will reveal some mystery in the novel (think Star Wars). If you want to read chronologically, go ahead, otherwise, read Evolution first* Before there was peace, there was chaos. Before there were Citybases, there were Ruins. Before there was UGE, there were remnant governments, each with their own agenda. Before there were P.O.E.s, there were rogue mutants with no disciple or training. But in chaos, order will converge. And in darkness, light will emerge. All Akram ever knew was the darkened streets of the ruin that was London, all he knew was to stay hidden, scavenge things and trust no one. His grandfather loved to tell him of The Time that Had Been, where food was abundant and strangers kind to each other. When his sister was kidnapped and found, the truth behind her abduction set off a chain of events that had him running to Paris in hope of finding his estranged family with a girl and powers beyond what he could comprehend. Little did he know that it was only the beginning of his story, the story of the Originals. Cover: @Kitkattish *I have made a few changes in the published version of the Evolution, which resulted in some deviation from the first draft I posted on Wattpad.*

Good At Being Bad (Book #1) by Sugar_And_Spice125

❝All men must choose between Two Paths. Good is the path of Honor, Heroism, and Nobility. Evil... well, it's just cooler.❞ ~ Megamind If it's one thing Disney USED TO like to do, it ALWAYS had the heroes win. Here's how it goes down. You have a pretty girl who, who always has an enemy, girl gets caught in the enemy trap, strong person defeats the monster and saves the girl. Happily ever after. The end. Roll credits. But here's the thing, you never see what happened to the villains, you never hear their side of the story, their backstory that caused them to do what they did. Maybe they were banished from the land, that's why they put Sleeping Beauty under a curse that made them sleep for a hundred years. Or maybe their family pressured them into think beauty is everything and they must be the most beautiful in the land to finally get the approval that they did something good, maybe that's why they poisoned Snow White to take her beauty. What if they just wanted to get revenge for Peter Pan taking their most valuable treasure, that meant more to them in the entire world, maybe that's why they had a growing vendetta over Peter Pan. There are many other reasons why villains did what they did, but, did these heroes ever consider that these villains had a family. Like how maybe Gaston might have had a kid who had to grow up with only one parent cause the Beast killed Gaston. Or maybe how Dr. Facilier might have had a daughter, but since he was locked in the shadow realm he never got to have that valuable father-daughter relationship with her. What if Disney is hiding something from us. The story of these kids who had to grow up without a parent or with the burden of being teased because of their lineage. Well, Disney, you may be good at making giant Marvel timelines and making us cry at the end of EVERY Disney Pixar movie. But I'm good at revealing your secrets. Why be good when you can be bad instead? editor: @mya_colondres
