Welcome to the World of Alburnium...

If the Wizard of Oz swept you away and Narnia enchanted you, then follow the White Road Chronicles for a new kind of fantasy adventure.

Illuminated: Book One begins with a girl in search of the truth.

Alyra, mockingly known as Princess, was captured at an early age by the evil ruler, Darnel, and brought up in the dark land of Racah. At the age of seventeen, she considers herself nothing special. She has no recollection of who she is or where she came from. Her hope of ever finding freedom dims.
Until the messenger arrives. Until he brings to light the meaning behind the medallion she's kept hidden. Until she accepts the blinding truth.

Now she flees for her life.

Alyra's journey leads her down a narrow road with strange traveling companions. Together, they encounter a kingdom where nothing is what it first seems.

**FYI for those coming over from Captured: Novella One of the White Road Tales...
A lot happens between Tarek and the Princess during the novella series, so jumping into this book will be a little confusing at first. The novellas were meant to be a fun prequel to the relationship they had before Darnel - King of Racah- figured out what was going on and tried to put a stop to their relationship.  Tarek and Alyra's story thread continues all through the White Road Chronicle novel series - so if you want to see what happens and how they get back together, keep reading. I'm really sorry for the confusion, I should have put this up at the beginning. My apologies. =) 

The White Road Chronicles consists of:

Illuminated: Book One- available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble

Luminosity: Book Two- available on Amazon, Kobo, Scrib'd, B&N and more.

Emanate: Book Three - available on Amazon

 Radiance: Book Four - available on Amazon

Are you packed and ready for your journey? Well, let's get going then...

An orphan must betray the dragon that gave him a true home and family in order to save his guardian's life. Fourteen-year-old Foxkit plays with fire by striking a bargain with the ferocious dragon Aerohim: Let six runaway orphans hide in his den in Galefang forest, and they will help him find a lost artifact in his vast treasure hoard. But the longer they search, the more Kit hopes they'll never find it as the dragon's den becomes the home he never had. Kit's wish is threatened when Aerohim starts growing weaker by the day and a magic tracker, Sheen, warns him their dragon is dying. The mysterious girl promises to heal Aerohim in exchange for one little thing from the hoard-the Dark Moon, a talon that once belonged to the powerful ancestor of all dragons. But Sheen isn't the only one hunting that ancient relic. Lord Ash, a fallen unicorn that harvests magic bones from other creatures to replace his broken horn, storms the Galefang. Not wanting harm to come to the only one that has ever treated him like family, Kit must decide whether or not to steal the Dark Moon. Steal it, and lose Aerohim's trust forever-but just maybe save his life. *New chapter coming every weekend.

Book 1 in a series! Despite what Emrys has been told, her Kingdom Abneer was not the only one to survive, King Reyes is not the only monarch, and monsters are real. Previously a soldier for the King, now betrothed to his son, Prince Roan, Emrys Ortega is starting to feel the burden of the title she never wanted. After repeatedly sneaking out of the palace leads to a sinister threat from the King, Emrys begins to worry for her family's safety. So when she learns that one of her kingdom's soldiers has been kidnapped by the Queen of another Kingdom, Valoria, she sees this as her opportunity to redeem herself in the King's eyes and protect her family. The only problem is that she had no idea the Kingdom of Valoria even existed. In fact, the Kingdom is unlike her own. It's filled with the same monsters from the stories she had been told-monsters of the night. In order to rescue the soldier, Emrys must team up with the notorious monster, the Shadow Knight, and his team of mercenaries. Through their missions and encounters with the monsters, Emrys not only learns the true extent of the lies she had been fed, but that the King has something planned, far bigger than she ever imagined, and finally realizes that her true enemies may not be the monsters after all.

On Whispered Threads by roarcus
9 parts Ongoing
Randomly receiving a piece of parchment with a road-map and an "X" to mark the spot, Landry has travelled for so long that even his boots gave up. His journey brought him to Pollard's Grove, a generally unknown and quiet lumber village on the outskirts of the Wyrmwood, a densely packed forest with gargantuan trees at the centre of Lake Laga. There, he meets a friend he hasn't seen in years, a black-haired elf by the name of Maliah who is uncharacteristically concerned as to why she summoned him. With magical threads of light, how far could the story lead beyond the Grove? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The story takes place within my world, called Aurum. The known world is split into two continents, the 'Twin Continents.' The West Continent is home to Cleonth, Zalafold, The Northern Kingdoms and the remnants of Larune. The East Continent is made up of Elduira, Zanokar, Adraskia, The Huinan Empire and more. (Names may change.) The sea that separates the two is known as the Meridean Sea, and none can leave the Twins and return due to the surrounding boundless oceans, known as the Vast Blue. Many thanks to my friends Imp, Zero and Morgz for their invaluable feedback :)

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next.

36 parts Complete
NOTE: This is horribly written because I was 15/16 years old and obsessed with the Golden Compass . . . So, in other words . . . Cringe alert! This will be based on the movie a TINY BIT . . . Maybe . . . IDK! Depends, because the full first chapter idea actually came from my dreams recently, then throughout school, I'm always daydreaming (Knowing me) about what they saw, what they do, so on and forth. Before we begin, I do not own the actual movie characters. Like Lyra, Crazy Coulter Woman, Jordan college etc. The only characters I own is what you never heard of in the book (Haven't read it) or in the movie. I will be only posting one chapter at a time! Also! I will be posting ONCE a week (Mondays) Releasing chapters will come to the end on the 9th of December 2019 Stay Tuned!
