Welcome to Belgate, a magical-turned-colorless metropolis where Magicians and Nonmagi have lived through years of discontent and begrudgery. Magic has been outlawed by the Alchemists, who have learned to suppress the Magicians power with their terrifying creations, Golems. 

Elysia is among one of the few peasant girls who struggles in the rustic city of machinery and creation. Her father suffers from an illness, leaving her and her older brother with the task of supporting their family.

She often has oddly vivid dreams about a mysterious second life. Overtime, it becomes increasingly difficult for her to separate her dreams from reality, causing her to commit a murder that parallels into the real world.

Desperate, she runs away from her home and soon finds herself tangled with Alchemists, her greatest fears materialize and soon, each day becomes a fight for her right to stay alive and a choice between freedom or enslavement.Todos os Direitos Reservados

Engines of Alchemancy (The Alchemancer Book One), de scottmarlowe

After re-reading Engines of Alchemancy in preparation for writing the 3rd book in the series, I decided to post the entire book on Wattpad. It's a good story, and I'd love to have readers such as yourself give it a try. Engines of Alchemancy is the 1st book in The Alchemancer series. It's followed by The Nullification Engine and The Inversion Solution. You can find out more about The Alchemancer series and my other books here: https://www.scottmarlowe.com/page/the-alchemancer *** Infernal engines consume the world and only a sorcerer's apprentice who knows nothing about magic can stop them. The Alchemancer series begins. Chaos erupts in the Barony of Fallmere when a surprise elemental attack destroys Norwynne Keep. Aaron Shepherd and Shanna Bonnerman survive, but Shanna is soon lost in the fallout of the keep's destruction while Aaron is forced to flee for his life. Unbeknownst to Aaron, Shanna becomes a captive of the enemy who destroyed their home. This enemy, a savant who claims to follow the path of science, speaks of ancient, infernal devices and a quest to reclaim the greatest of them all. Certain the savant means to kill her, Shanna is instead surprised when she finds herself embarking upon the adventure of a lifetime. Meanwhile, only the worst of nightmares awaits Aaron. Pursued by dwarven raiders, mad sorcerers, and a host of demons who will not stop until he is dead, the only thing keeping him alive is his own wits and an eslar mercenary whose reputation as a killer might make him the worst threat of all. Though Aaron and Shanna travel different paths, their purposes align when they each learn of a mysterious device known as the Fifth Element. Shanna sees it as the final piece of the puzzle that is her destiny. To Aaron's logical mind, it is an impossible ambiguity. Whatever the answer, the Fifth Element draws them back together and into a final confrontation where science and sorcery will collide.

Nagan | Broken Time Series: Book One, de ShyGuySamurai

Who knew what would happen after stealing some bread from a street stall? Certainly not Nagan. Nothing out of the ordinary should have happened, considering stealing food to survive was the norm. But fate, destiny, karma, whatever you wanted to call it, had a funny way of showing mercy. Nagan didn't know what to think when a baby dragon dropped in front of him. Even stranger, it was there to deliver an invitation. Carvolier was calling to him, as was a larger-than-life destiny. Like father, like son, after all. Yet something darker seeped through the seams as his years in Carvolier went on. Only time knew what awaited him. Book one of the Broken Time Series BOOK ONE: Complete BOOK TWO: Complete BOOK THREE: In progress BOOK FOUR: Outlined || Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered Mar. 2021, Sep. 2021 || Started: Oct. 12, 2019 Completed: Apr. 6, 2020

Wychling, de Norman_Christoph

Tal is no ordinary fourteen-year-old girl. Perhaps it was that she had grown up without a Mother, or perhaps it was that she did have a useless Father, and two increasingly distant Brother's. Maybe it was that her favourite hobbies included thieving with street orphans that didn't know her name, and leaping from rooftop to rooftop at night, just to feel free from every other part of her life. Maybe she was the freak her neighbours thought her to be. But then, after another long evening of disappointed silence from her Father, and staring down a future she did not want that was closing her fast, Tal escapes out into the cold rain. Little does she know that something big is waiting for her nearby. Something that does not belong on her ordinary street. Something that will forever change her not so ordinary life...

The Unordinary Life of the Enchantress, de AK-Babar

{INITIAL DRAFT, constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged} {2018 wattys longlist} "I swear on the life of my men, that I will never fall back on my word to bring down this worker of mischief- and bring down this inhumane creature!" The new king preached. The Enchantress has lived in her manor long enough to see the settlement and depletion of many mortal towns, so she isn't surprised when another collective of civilians claim the land near her for themselves. Calling themselves the 'New Mortals', the people seem set on making the Enchantress's life an ongoing misery. She uses her knowledge of the world and its elements to keep intruders away from her home, however, when the newly-elected leader of the settlement promises her demise and a boy claiming to be a researcher makes himself her apprentice, her life deters from its usual path and becomes a constant hassle as she tries all she can to return to a peaceful existence.

The Unpocalypse Series - Volume 1, de chris_davies_author

Dark beings quietly drive the world toward one of many hellish, apocalyptic outcomes. There are, however, still a few possibilities where peace and goodness can prevail. "The Machine", the vast, godlike intelligence behind reality, spins and calculates, and the few remaining paths to the UNpocalypse all involve four childhood friends acting together as a catalyst for good. Can their childhood bonds survive the tests of time and the hardships of adulthood? How can four kids from a poor neighborhood fight against a world of "hidden monsters"? In this steampunky, machine-age fantasy epic, explore New Anglia, a gritty, powerful nation moving into an age of discovery, but on the cusp of self-destruction. It is a place of illusion, filled with demons disguised as leaders, heroes disguised as the weak, reality-wielders, cross-dimensional visitors, machine-whisperers, and dream-assassins. New Anglia is a place where the stains of past sins are piled into skins and walk the land in human form, and where normal, good-hearted people can still make a difference.

Gravedancer, de AlfiRizkyR

Alden Jackson believes that Calamity, Oregon, is the most boring place on Earth: so boring there that the people in town have a dreaded Halloween ritual of sending eighteen year-olds off into a local haunted house for a good night’s scare. And scare is exactly what Alden gets – with some unintended consequences. The moment he enters the haunted house, a twisted turn of events – including hungry ghosts, a vampire attack, and a Zombie Chicken rising from the dead – ends up with Alden’s enormous magic powers springing into action for the first time, transforming the whole town into a place fit for monsters. Knowing that the monsters will spread, Alden has no choice but to delve into the town’s magical secrets, catch up quickly with the magic world, and clean up the supernatural mess he made. But Alden isn’t alone in his plight. Calamity, as it turns out, has been the sanctuary for magic users for centuries, and all hands are on deck to rid the town of monsters and return Calamity’s centuries of peace.

Threads of Fate, de LeeraIvy

The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics. Please be aware if you are sensitive to such content. {The Phoenix Duology} "From the Ashes, I" "Born of Flames, II" {Additional Asterrian Saga Books} "Threads of Fate", prequel "Two Cursed Souls", sequel Completed February 9, 2025 *UNSOLICITED CRITICS MAY BE MUTED* see bio
