For centuries, five great noble houses have slaughtered each other in bloody wars of hatred and spite.  From the brave knights of the Virtus to the powerful mages of the Eruditio each family has grown strong through constant competition and conflict.  But now their leaders seek to end that cycle of violence with a grand, unstable experiment of peace within the grand city of Aterdivitia.

As the noble families strain against the peace that is forced on them, new threats arise unlike anything these mighty civilizations have ever faced.  As madness and terror pour into the streets of the city, five young warriors are the only ones willing to put aside their family's hatred and cooperate.  Amid bloodshed and chaos, hatred and suspicion, the heirs must fight for that which their people most despise: Peace.

Champions of Light: Gaëtano's Sword [Book One] by Natbug4545
20 parts Complete Mature
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.

ELARIS- A Girl Shaped By Tragedy

13 parts Ongoing Mature

"You may look like a young but strong girl, but you lack sense and wisdom, it is no place for young girls to join a battle. But you did, so here you are, injured." ~ The War Minister, Stefan Elphinstone. Brief Description: In the shadows of the 19th century, amid the fragile peace between France and England, young Elaris dreams of becoming a hero for her country. But when she finds refuge in Scotland and meets the fiery soldier Ivan, her noble aspirations turn to dark ambitions. Fueled by anger and a thirst for freedom, Elaris instigates a brutal war that spirals out of her control and unleashes a path of chaos and treachery. As Scotland and England clash, Elaris transforms from a hopeful idealist to a fearful one-her speeches are revolting and her ruthless tactics lead to devastating bloodshed. Yet, in her final moments on the battlefield, she must reckon with the legacy she left behind, facing the consequences of her actions. Will Elaris find redemption, or will her quest for peace ultimately become her greatest curse? Explore a nuanced story of ambition, sacrifice and heroism and destruction.
