✧The Earthe of the Elves✧ by StoriesbyAvery

"Upstairs!" I hear a yell and pounding footsteps. I crawl out of the window until I'm hanging from my hands. I take a breath. I let go. ~ Living in a small town with a single mother, Mia Glenn never expected anything special to come of her life. She never thought she would go on an adventure as harrowing as the stories she read. Until one day she narrowly avoids being kidnapped, discovering in the same day a whole new universe that she is supposedly a part of. As she navigates the elven world of Earthe with the help of a particularly attractive elf boy, she learns secrets about her identity and her father's, of whom she believed had ditched her and her mom at an early age. Soon Mia discovers that peace isn't as easy as it seems, and while Earthe may be beautiful, there are dark parts that are creeping back to the light. Even in a world of perfect beings such as elves, lies can be spun as precisely as an arrow can pierce a target, and evil can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Mia is used to reading about this kind of stuff, not living it. Safe to say she finds herself in one hell of an adventure. - - TW: if you need a tw for fighting, violence, weapons, blood, death, etc. I would read with caution (I don't get into any gory details, but there are scenes w/ this) I will put tw's for the more violent scenes.

Arcanae [Book 1] by exLyrical

In an oceanic realm littered with traces of Magick, Crescent Isle had always been the odd one out. For aeons on end, it had been sheltered from the remainder of the world, seemingly as though an enormous invisible dome had been set in place around its waters to ward off dangers, paving the way for a prosperous golden age. However, darkness finally rises to the forefront across the Thirteenth Sea. Pirates, eyes glued onto the island's vast wealth and riches, invade the capital city, Silvermoon Wharf. Crescent Isle's defences hold through arduous tribulations but at a significant cost; with a timeless relic tarnished, a great evil is one step closer to emerging. In the calamity's wake, Cynthia Pryce meets a mysterious albeit familiar old man with but a single request for her to join his longspun journey across the sea to restore the distorted balance between light and darkness. Intrigued by the offer, the girl breaks free of her roots. Suddenly exposed to the vast entirety of the Thirteenth Sea, Cynthia steers down a rocky path of a new reality as she comes to terms with the horrifying state of global unrest. ------------------------------------------ Arc 1 - Origins - Finished Arc 2 - Dawn of Magick - Ongoing

Aetheria Falling | Amby Award Winner 2024 by KitZimmerman

When magic begins fading from the world of Aetheria, Aureus, an ordinary archivist, is forced to become a fugitive when he's wrongfully accused of stealing it. For Éadaoin, the loss of all magic means facing past sins when a friend she cursed comes back for revenge. For Kairos, it means using his natural ability to slow time for a last minute reflection. For Ashe, the failure of magical technology becomes a chance to survive grief and start again. But something terrible looms on the horizon for everyone in Aetheria... The Deathless, immortal creatures only vulnerable to magic and bent on ending all life, are coming. Without magic and the fae courts to fight the Deathless, humanity will not survive unless Aureus can escape his former home and journey into a dying world to discover the secrets of his past. Aetheria Falling is the first in a series of three short story collections that explores just how personal the end of the world can be. 🏅Amby Award Winner 2024 Fantasy Novella Top Pick

The Dragon Blood Guardian *COMPLETED* by sylviaNgould

Adelaide Blanc was raised alongside Drackenridge's Princess Cecily, knowing one day she'd become captain of the princess's guard. However, Adelaide's military training went to little use while sitting in on tea parties and playing companion at royal balls. As the years waned on she feared she'd never temper her steel in the fires of conflict, doomed to live a rather domestic life in a coat of armor. That was until the engagement ball between Princess Cecily and Prince Harrick of Raidenfall, a kingdom that had recently been beaten back from a greedy campaign to capture Drackenridge. Though the marriage was an attempt at peace, the young romance was cut short when a gang of dragon riders crashed the party and snatched Princess Cecily. Furious with the loss of her charge and given the new task of exchanging the crown jewels for the safe return of the princess, Adelaide ventures through the kingdom to bring her mistress home. She may know nothing of life outside the palace walls, but she won't let any pirates, dragons, or dark mages keep her from fulfilling her duty. Coming to Kindle and Paperback March 9, 2019!

Oblivion, A Timeless Void by Aster_Rae27

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 7] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carried, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out on a journey to find the Elementals - a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira

[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.
