The Sword of Stone - Sworn Honours by Ewanmackenobi99

"I am the sword of the crown, the shield of the realm and protector of the people. Without doubt, without failure, I shall guard the innocents against the malignant forces of magic. I give my heart and soul to the righteous and pray for the Father's mercy, for I shall show none." Sir Rolan Coytak, a paladin of the Holy Paladin Order of Farikesh, a seasoned and grizzled knight of twenty long years, is sent on a mission to the lands south of the Kingdom of Harliya, Amberfall, to investigate the rumours of blood magic. Travelling with his clumsy and naive squire, Rolan is greeted by many people, many with grace and dignity, others with suspicion. He is told by the Baron of these lands, the young Simon Greycrow, about bandits in ruins deep within the Redwoods of Amber that may hold what he seeks. But as Rolan travels these dark, beautiful, eerie forests, he learns that magic is not the only problem these lands have. Facing a great challenge as he uncovers the truth of the rumours, Rolan must make a decision that may haunt him for the rest of his life.

The Crown of Ash by WhareGripp

Kaelen never imagined that a single artifact could change the fate of the world. When he discovers the Ember Crown, a powerful relic of fire and temptation, he is thrust into a battle not just for survival, but for his very soul. The crown grants unimaginable power-but every burst of flame comes with a cost. Its whispers tempt him toward domination, its energy tests his restraint, and its hunger threatens to consume everything he holds dear. Joined by a band of warriors, mages, and scouts-including the fierce Lira, the wise Fenric, the radiant healer Mira, and the cunning twins, Ryn and Elara-Kaelen must face Smoke, a shadowy enemy determined to seize the crown for his own dark ambitions, and the Black Hunter, a relentless predator stalking the battlefield. From the scorched plains to the heart of enemy fortresses, Kaelen's journey is one of fire, strategy, and moral choices. Every battle, every short breath, every flicker of flame tests his mastery, courage, and resolve. Will he succumb to the crown's seductive power-or rise above it to protect those he loves? In a world where fire can destroy or illuminate, the choice is his. The crown is his. And the ashes will tell his story. My first book (The Shadows Follow Me) will continue, as I have just been working on a Fantasy book.
