To avoid war from spreading and the world from breaking, a young woman has to reclaim her stolen throne and expose the Truth before it's too late.
          
     ♕
          
     The lands of Etheria have long since been plagued by war. A new age started when one king conquered the kingdoms around him and would not stop until all the lands yielded before him. Now, Magic is dying, a rebellion is rising, and the King is marching towards the last remaining free lands.
          
     Elora Atherton wants nothing to do with war. The dreams that haunt her at night show her enough of it to know its festering darkness, but she soon finds she is not as far away from its center as she thought. When the Black Guard comes for her on the night of Valmai, she finds out she is not only the lost heir to the Albion throne, but the last Truthseer as well.
          
     After Elora barely escapes with her life, the weight of a whole kingdom now rests on her shoulders. If she ever wants her throne back, she has to unite the once Loyal Houses of Albion, rally them against the Crown--against the man that has taken everything from her--and unravel the web of Lies the King has spun. 
          
     But will the lands and people she barely remembers be worth the sacrifices that await her?

A maiden must marry into nobility to uphold honour in her family's name. However, when her soon-to-be husband is burned alive by a fiery creature, she realizes there's more to life than just suitors and balls. ～·～·～ As a woman, Alyria Willows is expected to cast aside her pursuit of independence to fulfil her duties as an acquiescent housewife; all for the sake of one's honour not even her own.

In a world where immortals have grown complacent and demons rise with newfound strength, the prophecy of the Phoenix's return whispers across the land. The Demon King, Azgaroth, sealed away a thousand years ago by the sacrifice of the Phoenix, is awakening. The powerful magic that bound him is weakening, and only the reborn Phoenix can reinforce the seal and prevent his return. Ardara, a blind warrior raised by General Varek in the Kingdom of Tirathos, has always felt an inexplicable pull within her. Skilled in the art of combat and Chi'ra, a mystical energy, Ardara's journey begins when she learns the truth: she is the Phoenix reborn. As her powers awaken, so too does the threat of Azgaroth's release. Drawn to the Academy of the Ascendants, a sacred place for those with great potential, Ardara begins her training under Aresius, the God of War, who has descended to help humanity. Despite their divine differences, a bond grows between them-a love that transcends gods and mortals. But not all is as it seems. Seraphina, a rival at the academy, believes herself to be the true Phoenix, manipulated by the dark forces of Azgaroth. The immortals, once the protectors of the world, remain on the sidelines, leaving the human realm to battle the demons alone. As Ardara's destiny unfolds, she must confront the darkness within, face the trials of becoming the true Phoenix, and learn that the greatest power comes not from magic alone, but from the heart. The fate of Erethis rests in her hands-but will she be strong enough to face the ultimate sacrifice? Love, war, and destiny collide in this gripping fantasy, where ancient prophecies, betrayal, and the power of the Phoenix shape the future of the realm.
Star of Blood by PersonWhoBook
15 parts Complete
[Entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest with prompts 1 and 20!] "Truth is, there are no innocent people in this world. Never has been, never will be." Jude was born on the day when Alucinatio, the Star of Blood, lit up the night sky. Following the prophecy of the star, he was raised to become the great saviour of the sorcerer kingdom Mendax. And Jude became exactly that, honing his magical powers and challenging the reign of the Empire of Dorobo like a mere walk in the park. Despite having this popularity and praise, though, the empty Jude still desires something more than fighting the same enemies and saving the same people every damned time. And then everything changes after meeting Prema, a young lady of the Hantri tribe. Upon getting to know her, Jude becomes conflicted; Prema is nothing like the savages in the stories he's been told. In fact, Jude starts losing the ability to hold on to his beliefs. Should he trust his friends and family? Should he listen to his enemies? Through magical scuffles and internal struggles, Jude strives to figure out who he's truly meant to be, who the "good guys" of this world are. With rising tension between civilizations, however, such a task is way harder than it sounds. But then he learns the truth. The truth about the kingdom, the empire, and the tribe. The truth about magic in this nation. The truth about people.
