THE FIRST BOOK OF THE FLAMES OF HISTORY
As Merilla Lansier, heiress to Fené's ruling house, is thrust from her home in the country's borderlands, her people are plunged into war and revolt. Across the Eastern Woodways, the rising Empire of Rethgard gathers strength.
When Sir Marcus is summoned to the westerly capital of Lariane he finds that the price of true justice is life itself. Thrown from the familiar open air of the wild east into the cities of the west, the knight finds himself drowning in a sea of treachery.
Even lowly sellswords, clerics, and vagrants find themselves swept up in a tumultuous sea of chaos and deception where the only way to survive is to value yourself above your morals.

🏆 22 AWARDS' WINNER 🏆 Ever since she was young, Melinda Grey knew she had a great destiny waiting for her.

The Sword of Stone - Sworn Honours
"I am the sword of the crown, the shield of the realm and protector of the people. Without doubt, without failure, I shall guard the innocents against the malignant forces of magic. I give my heart and soul to the righteous and pray for the Father's mercy, for I shall show none." Sir Rolan Coytak, a paladin of the Holy Paladin Order of Farikesh, a seasoned and grizzled knight of twenty long years, is sent on a mission to the lands south of the Kingdom of Harliya, Amberfall, to investigate the rumours of blood magic. Travelling with his clumsy and naive squire, Rolan is greeted by many people, many with grace and dignity, others with suspicion. He is told by the Baron of these lands, the young Simon Greycrow, about bandits in ruins deep within the Redwoods of Amber that may hold what he seeks. But as Rolan travels these dark, beautiful, eerie forests, he learns that magic is not the only problem these lands have. Facing a great challenge as he uncovers the truth of the rumours, Rolan must make a decision that may haunt him for the rest of his life.Complete
Gamleon's Tail ~ Welcome to the worlds of : Within ~
I wrote this for EVERYONE. To appeal to anyone that reads ANY genre. It combines almost all of them. It's an introduction to the Worlds of Within universe. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mysteries and enjoy its intrigue... The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world . The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. Every home, every last trace of what once was. Gamleon is the first to see it ... and survive. His mind is near collapse, his heart broken. He runs. What would YOU do? What could anyone do? Some scrape by in a mythological setting of beasts and medieval men. Cruel, literally cold-blooded Gorgon hordes enforce an absolute rule slithering in the tunnels beneath the feet of every kingdom. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out this cataclysm if Gamleon can stay alive long enough to get them there.. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Gamleon, our weary adventurer, is a paradox: terrifying to some perhaps, yet his heart and intent is helpful, with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. The only way back out is to navigate the Gorgon tunnels. Join him, won't you ? Share his inner thoughts . See and feel how they help us all learn how to persist and triumph in spite of a world where everything is stacked against us. ( sound familiar, it should.) Join him and be swept away as he encounters or invents never-before-seen innovations and outrageous challenges. Dignity meets hope. Self-respect shines beyond courage. Welcome my friend to the Worlds of Within.

This is not an Apocalypse
The world is changing, two years ago strange weather, various anomalies and strange creatures started appearing from nowhere all over the world. Some creatures were completely alien and others were familiar looking as if they'd stepped from myth and legend.

Things that go bump in the night, that shifting shadow in the dark alley way, the cracking branch right behind you. Nightmarish creatures now stalk the land. Monsters. That isn't the only change in a new world however, humans have also changed. Some unknown phenomenon has granted humanity access to incredible power. The very elements themselves can now be wielded by those willing to risk the dangers. Earth, wind, fire, water, suddenly magic has become possible in a modern world and there are many who are eager to develop and embrace their newfound power and help protect their fellow man from monsters. There are also many who are willing to make a profit from newfound opportunities this changing world provides. Unfortunately for our MC Jack, embracing newfound power and going out to valiantly battle monsters isn't quite as simple as most other people have it. He possesses the rare and not so sought after lightning element, considered the weakest element for certain reasons, pitied and looked down upon Jack is determined to become a successful monster hunter in a more and more dangerous world.

Ascension: The Forsaken Path
Betrayed. Abandoned. Left to die in the depths of a dungeon. Kael Veyron was never meant to be special. Born a commoner in a world where strength is dictated by the one skill granted at birth, he was doomed to mediocrity. His skill, Phantom Edge, was nothing more than a footnote in a world ruled by nobles born with power beyond reach. He trained harder than anyone, fought against fate itself-only to be discarded by the very team he trusted. Stranded in an uncharted dungeon, surrounded by monsters lurking in the darkness, Kael should have died. But something changed. When he defeated his first beast, he discovered a secret no one else knew. A power that should have been impossible-the ability to absorb the attributes of the creatures he killed. Now, in the shadows of the world that abandoned him, Kael will rise. He will evolve. He will adapt. And when he walks back into the world that left him behind, they won't recognize the man they tried to kill. They will fear him.
Samsara Fall Online: Isekai

The world has rules, but there are hints of Kael's power and intelligence that may defy them.
