'Baron Staal was a Paladin'. And with these words Omerod Thorne uttered the most shameful truth that casts a dark shadow across all the great deeds of the Knights of Ukko.

Although Tom Clovely heard those words, it was not clear if he understood the meaning. Here, standing on Plough Steep and looking out across the battlelands of Nan Lithmor, he could be forgiven for not comprehending the gravity of such a betrayal. The young urchin had journeyed far. He had left his home in every sense of the word. But the bitter truth was that he had even further to travel, so far that he would become unrecognisable from the boy he was.

And so continues the story of Tom Clovely's journey into the far north; in the company of the three Paladins of Ukko and their followers, embarking on their quest to find The Hatchling Man, a man born of an egg, and a man upon whom rests the fate of peace. 

But a powerful Wizard of Fire stands in their way. And he wants to be left alone...All Rights Reserved

A Song of Faithless Shadows by yourlocalsag

Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace by Tyler6318

In the mystical land of Elysium, where magic weaves through every leaf and whispers secrets to the wind, a darkness begins to stir. For centuries, the balance between light and shadow has been maintained by the guardians of Elysium, a group of powerful sorcerers sworn to protect the realm from evil. But when a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces, foretelling the rise of a malevolent force known only as the shadow, the fate of Elysium hangs in the balance. As whispers of dark omens spread like wildfire, a young orphan named Lyra finds herself thrust into a world of magic and danger. With nothing but a mysterious amulet and her wits to guide her, Lyra embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and stop the shadow from consuming the realm. Along the way, she allies herself with a ragtag group of misfits: a brooding warrior with a haunted past, a cunning thief with a heart of gold, and a wise old sage with secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate treacherous forests, ancient ruins, and deadly creatures as they race against time to thwart the shadow's sinister plans. But as the darkness closes in around them, Lyra discovers that the true power to save Elysium lies within herself - if only she can unlock it in time. Filled with breathtaking magic, epic battles, and unforgettable characters, "The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace" is a spellbinding tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of darkness.

Book Three- Eira Ragnarsdottír: The Twin of Björn Ironside by KDBloom

"I used to believe that if you were family, you were accepted. The same went for your friends." I glanced over at Bjorn as he stared at the floor full of anger and regret, "In the past years, I have realized that this life is unforgiving-the gods are unforgiving." I sighed and placed my hand on top of his, "Like Father once said, unhappiness is far more common than happiness." New threats build as Ragnar Lothbrok rises to King of all Norway. Adventures rise and friend and foe both fall. Tragedy strikes when faith, trust, and friendship are tested. Life is about adaptation and choices, which will the House of Ragnar be forced to make. (Season 3 of the T.V. show of The Vikings) *I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS FROM THE SHOW*

The Hero Chronicles: The Hero Of Etherwood by DylanCapalbo

The world has already been in chaos. Multiple lands have faced tyrants and enemies who threaten their good. But in every land a hero will rise. He or she may be successful or face defeat.

The Dreadfang by HouseRussel

Allow me the grand honor of introducing you to Sam the Dreadfang. A dauntless warlord, an inimitable mentor, and the venerated father of ten-thousand-and-one. Yet the man wasn't always the greatness he stands today. Once, he was no more than a nameless boy - an orphan torn from his mother's breast and left to rot among the sworn enemies of his kin. Like so many of us, with the weight of the world slowly breaking his back, he should've succumbed to the cruel Mistress of Fate. But then, on one fortuitous day of murder and mayhem, came Dale - the Warbear - Abberford, and the boy saw himself elevated from the chains of poverty to a life of perilous adventure; a journey amid ancient Dwarven dynasties, Goblin kingpins, and crazed revolutionaries. They always said Dale had a scary eye for talent. They had no idea. When the mad wizard - Edgar Thaine - threatens to unveil the world below, a world long forgotten by mankind, the ancient order known as the Highgard sends their most treasured asset, the Warbear, to end the wizard's violent defiance and maintain the old world's privacy. Alongside his new master, Sam is forged to the likes of a young warrior, and taught the ways of a world he'd thought to know before finding himself shackled to the ultimate test: survive and breathe eternal glory, or perish and tumble down the abyss of the nameless.

I've returned from the past by TomHDAvengers

Harry Potter has already lived one life- gone to the past to live another and has now returned to live his third- or rather redo his first. Except he's not the boy he was and he most certainly is holding darker secrets. Going to the past has also changed time in a multitude of ways. What will happen next?

Wild Watchtower: Shield & Claw Book One by ALMcGurk

Whoever Fiáin was born to be died along with her twin brother. She died when a strange white wolf came into their territory and murdered her brother in front of her. All her life, Fiáin had lived with the guilt of having hidden rather than trying to defend her twin, and it didn't matter to her that she had only been a cub herself, or that the effort would've been futile. In her eyes, her brother's loss was her fault. But just as painful as that guilt was the fear that accompanied it; a fear so relentless that she'd never taken her place in her pack, and had settled into a position only one rung above omega. But her family think she's failing to step up, and her father believes that if he just pushes her hard enough, her inner wolf will push back. Cróga, on the other hand, had always known his place. He'd grieved for his younger brother too, but as his father's heir and the subject of an elven oracle's dire prophecy, he couldn't let fear hold him back. Whatever dreams or desires he might have had didn't matter, because one day he would be an alpha male, and a commander of both the Tírgarda and a naval fleet, duty-bound to guard the coast of Tírlaochra from invading forces. His own guilt weighed heavily on him too, because the oracle had forewarned that he could only take his place once his father lost his life, and Cróga wasn't ready to face that loss, or to face his own self-doubt. When the white wolf reappears, Fiáin isn't prepared for her father's decision to send her away, to be the mate of a wolf she barely knows. She's even less prepared for a journey in the company of Styrkr, a male from across the sea who wants to travel Tírlaochra before taking more responsibility in his own pack. None of that matters for long, though, because when the black ships appear from the fog that blankets the sea, war returns to a land that's known peace for centuries, and both Fiáin and Cróga will need to find their places, for the good of everyone.

System overload, a Litrpg by Learnu

Waking up on a pile of corpses, alone and starving, Narmo has no memory of who he was before. Only a flickering silver screen-his Guidance System-offers cryptic instructions and a single directive: Survive. Trapped in a decaying land shrouded in fog, Narmo must navigate the brutal laws of a world where power is dictated by magic, combat, and the whims of ancient beings. With nothing but an enigmatic entity whispering in his mind, he embarks on a relentless quest to grow stronger. But as he struggles against monstrous threats, Narmo begins to realize that his system is different. His skills break rules. His evolutions defy logic. And the entity guiding him has been waiting for him far longer than he can comprehend. As powerful forces stir and forgotten gods take notice, Narmo must uncover the truth behind his summoning before he becomes just another body lost in the fog. In a world where strength is the only law, will he rise... or will the system consume him first?

The Secret City by AshleyEmmaAuthor

Lady Aria of Li-Aval feels like a prisoner, with a magnificent manor as her cage. Her father hides her from the rest of the world because Aria has hair like strands of gold. Literally, her hair is gold. When Aria's father tries to marry her off to an elderly man, she takes her deceased mother's necklace and runs away with her servant, Tina. They stumble upon Torenth, a city hidden behind a waterfall, and the Guardians welcome her into their castle like family. Lord Deric tries to win her heart, but Aria's eyes are on Owen, the shy blacksmith. When Aria finds out she is the next Guardian of Torenth according to a prophecy, she must figure out a way to keep her father out of Torenth. For if she cannot be the next Guardian, Torenth will be lost forever. Note: I wrote this ten years ago when I was 14 so it is rather short! Only 24,000 words.

The Hatchling Man (Book One: The Tower of the Swordthane) by goldenoaksuk

'It all started with a sword.' And so beings 'A Brief History of the Swordthane Wars' - an old, worn and well-read book owned by Omerod Thorne, liegeman to Silverbane the night elf, Dark Knight and Paladin.

Until one theft too many - from the wrong person at the wrong time and in the wrong place - changes his life utterly. Thrown into the company of the three Paladins of Ukko, Tom Clovely begins his journey into the far north, a squire in the service of some of the greatest warriors of the world, who wield living swords descended from the first and greatest of the named blades; as the Paladins embark in a quest to find The Hatchling Man, a man born of an egg, and man upon whom rests the fate of peace, and a quest that that will see the Knights of Ukko pitched into a conflict where they are no better than pawns.
