Light uncovers truth-but in its brilliance, it also consumes what once was.

From the dim recesses of an aging empire, a crime lord of quiet brilliance begins to unfurl a design long buried by history. With wealth as his tether and influence as his hand, he draws forth men, machines, and forgotten knowledge, seeking to resurrect an age the world has tried to forget.

Far from the noise of power, a canoness lives bound to silence, prayer, and the discipline of her vows. Yet the ache of a missing parent stirs an older calling within her-one she had laid to rest. When she steps beyond her cloister's walls, she carries with her a grace sharpened by years of restraint, and a power the world believes dormant.

Across steam-choked rails, along quiet waterways, and through forest paths where secrets cling like mist, their journeys begin to converge. One walks toward dominion; the other toward revelation. Each step reshapes the fate of the empire, though neither can yet see the full shape of the other.

When faith meets ambition upon the threshold of a darkening age, which will endure-and which will be eclipsed?

The Midnight Curcuit by diagenatuna

Nova never intended to be a hero. In fact, she barely considers herself a survivor. Haunted by a fractured past and the mysterious disappearance of her family, she's spent her life on the move, relying on her wits and instincts to stay one step ahead of those who would see her caged-or worse. But her quiet existence shatters the moment she stumbles upon the Fragment, an ancient artifact humming with forbidden power. Together, they uncover a prophecy older than time itself: a Codex that could rewrite the very fabric of their world. Pursued by relentless Enforcers and shadowy forces who will stop at nothing to claim the artifact, Nova and Cyn must forge uneasy alliances. From rogue fae warriors to vampires with shifting loyalties, their journey will take them deep into the Undercity and beyond, where danger and betrayal lurk around every corner. The line between allies and enemies blurs, and the weight of destiny presses heavily on their shoulders. In a world where power is the only currency, Nova and Cyn must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to save a world that may already be lost.

Keeper of Fate by SushiFortress

Iris is just trying to survive high school. In a world where she feels like an outsider, she's the quiet girl who avoids the spotlight, burdened by a family falling apart and a school full of judgmental eyes. Life couldn't feel more ordinary-or more hopeless. But when a chance encounter thrusts her into a reality she never believed in, Iris discovers that her mundane life was only the calm before the storm. Now, with a strange power she doesn't understand and a destiny she never asked for, she must step into a role that could change everything-or lose herself in the process. [NOTE: SPOILER FOR THE 2D ANIMATION SERIES IN UPCOMING FUTURE]

The Prophecy by lspearson

Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'

Fractured realities: The Depths of Arrogance by Unstablegayauthor

It didn't take long for humanity to completely destroy the surface. It also didn't take long for them to build their underground world, but the sudden change of habitat caused several changes in the way humans function. It's hard to say who's human and who's a completely different creature; a consequence of their arrogance. Some developed better sight, others developed a better sense of strength, the list goes on, but one thing is sure. The leaders of the underground are lying. Things need to change. Many of few have realized the truth. They are the rebellion and they need help from the one person that has any chance of ending this all. They must find the one who knows how to save their world. The underground knows they're here, so why haven't they put a stop to it?
