The worlds-spanning conclusion to "The Codex Lacrimae," the first of nine novels in A.J. Carlisle's  epic fantasy series, "The Artifacts of Destiny."  With Aurelius believed dead and Clarinda cast to parts unknown by the power of the Dark Book, the Nine Worlds and multiverse of medieval times are threatened by reemergent threats from Norse mythology, the armies of Saladin and Hela Queen of the Dead, and the darkest of the Artifacts of Destiny, the Codex Lacrimae. 

If they manage to survive, Ríg and Clarinda will discover whether friendship and love can stand against the host of villainous enemies, supernatural forces, and the march-to-war on different planes of existence caused by the return of the most corrupt of the Books of Fates, and the different paths that they will choose are unexpected and filled with perils that are literally out of this world. 

In action-filled journeys and breathtaking battles that range across exotic locales such as the besieged Krak des Chevaliers on Midgard, to the Weeping Wood of Svartalfheim, the Dwarf-Caverns of Nidaveller, and even to the fabled Fjords of Asgard, the relationship between the Hospitaller and Norn develops and deepens.

With an unpredictable outcome that confounds traditional expectations of the genre and begins the tale of a thousand year romance, this first book of The Artifacts of Destiny will surprise and delight readers of epic fantasy!All Rights Reserved

The Heirs by EdsGryff

Sᴇǫᴜᴇʟ ᴛᴏ 'Aʟʟɪᴀɴᴄᴇ' 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 '𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆' 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 The stars give comfort, but if one knows how to read them, they may spell disaster and ruination. In the midst of personal tragedy and conflict, darkness spreads over the land and into the hearts of people. Death beckons, as does lust, and wonders never cease. The allure of the unknown casts its net over all prey, and past pain never fades, which the Heirs learn, over and over again, even as fresh aches form. Happiness and prosperity are both fleeting and flickering. Fleeting, like lovers disappearing into the dead of night. Flickering, like a candle flame, snuffed out just as a man's breath. King James tries his best, Princess Selene fights to be important, and Princess Seraphina struggles to be free. What happens as the Golden Age ends, and the Dark Age begins? '𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍'𝒔 𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔- 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒐 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒔- 𝑭𝒖𝒓𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒔 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆- 𝒔𝒐 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒅𝒆- 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔- 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉- 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒉- 𝒘𝒆'𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍' - 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐥, 𝐛𝐲 𝐑𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞. ••••-

SunRider by flashhitter

I have seen men become Gods and I have seen Gods become dust... Magic pieces of armor rain from Lenova's skies, granting men God-like powers. Mountains move, lightning bends to command, and a man's future can be written in a book before it has even happened. In all this emerging chaos, teenage Finn SunRider holds only the simple goal of escaping his enslavement and exploring the world he lives in. Yet he has a problem-many problems in fact: -His mute friend has been kidnapped by a murderer whose greed is only limited by the amount of gems he can collect as a cloud above his head -The land is being conquered by a Sorceress and her golden Lich master who can create life at whim -And an ancient artifact with a hibernating power has grafted itself to Finn's arm, marking him a "Star-Child". Poor Finn has never experienced what free life has to offer (he doesn't even know what milk is) and now has ended up getting a lot more than he bargained for. -From flaming coal-coated vat-worms and two-directional streams to floating cities and underground pyramids, follow a fantasy journey of epic proportions! ©2017 Rafael Hohmann

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.

The Call of Eternity by ea_carter

❃ BOOK II OF THE TRANSCENDENCE SERIES ❃ In the epic sequel to The Lost Valor of Love, worlds collide, and gods and mortals cross paths, kingdoms fall, and ancient, long-buried hatreds stir. In the heavens, the storm god Teshub discovers two of the most powerful gods of the pantheon have fallen to a world torn apart by rivalry, war, famine, and plagues. Soon, he learns, he too must fall. In the north, a crown prince ascends the throne, his queen taken by his enemy as compensation for the crimes of his father. But the new king is prepared to risk everything to reclaim his queen, and plans for war begin. In the east, a near-immortal senses the awakening of a powerful artifact after an eternity of silence. It can only mean one thing: gods once more walk among men, and with their return--the key to his immortality. And from far without, the Creator eyes his dying creation, its fragile boundaries unraveling. From across an enormous board, he picks up a token--an exact replica of a living woman. He smiles at it with fondness and sets it down on a new space. Folding his hands together, he steps back, and waits. The Call of Eternity is the second book in the Transcendence series.
