'Signy gasped as she saw the body on the ground. 'Asta, what did you do?'
'It was an accident,' Asta said desperately. 'The fire flared suddenly and his clothes caught alight. It wasn't me.'
Signy stared at Hafgrim's charred body. 'They won't believe that,' she said fearfully. She looked up at Asta with terror. 'Asta, they'll kill you. You need to leave. Now.''
Asta has lived life as a thrall on a cold northern freehold since she was small, with no memory of her family or where she came from. When an accident forces her to run away from her freehold she decides to use the opportunity to find her own people.
Her quest leads her to the King's fortress, Vatnskjold. A mysteriously ill king, a missing heir and a brewing war, Vatnskjold is a place of secrets. Despite her determination to focus only on her mission - and hide her own dark past and secrets - Asta finds herself being drawn in.
Perhaps if she solves the secrets of Vatnskjold she can solve her own greatest mystery: who, and what, she is.

The Sorcerer's Pet
He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.Terminé

Demon-Killing Sword
A century ago, the demon king drowned the world in miasma. Demons everywhere went mad. Peaceful shopkeepers tore apart their human patrons. Child demons devoured their human friends. No longer could demons speak. They had become mad beasts intent upon killing. With no other recourse, humankind retreated behind a wall and sent forth their strongest heroes, wielding the demon-killing sword. It was hoped that this sword could even slay the demon king, source of the miasma. All was in vain. The heroes failed. The sword was lost. And so a hundred years pass, until a scrappy part-demon scavenger finds the ruins of the sword. With rabid demons beating at the walls, she sets out across the wasteland of a once-vibrant land to defeat the demon king and carve a new fate for all of humanity. Part Journey to the West/Saiyuki, part Volsunga saga/Nibelungenlied. Updates at least weekly, more depending on production speed. Lovely cover by @witchoria!Terminé
