adventure fantasy magic monsters steampunk

The travelling merchant Melcanth always figured his days of adventuring were long behind him, until one fateful day his family rescues an amnesiac stranger named Locke from the snow, a mysterious young man gifted with an extrodinary power. This chance encounter sets off a catastrophic chain of events that will alter the lives of Melcanth's family forever.

Embroiled in a grand conspiracy, they are forced into a desperate journey that will take them across Eisendaile, a kingdom ruled by a merciless tyrant who commands the dead, The Machine Empire of Nazvelt, a hovering collective of clockwurk airship cities, and even to the fearsome burning spires of The Ashbringer. A journey that will plunge them into the middle of a war that threatens to tear his family, and the world itself, apart.

Tale of The Broken Sword, écrit par noobzord96

A story told in two perspectives. Set in an alternate industrial world where radio technology is rendered nearly obsolete due to a magnificent yet mysterious and devastating phenomenon that has crippled its use. Nations has prospered with the further development of flight and the inception of the skyship, a series of heavily-armed floating warships that has the ability to cross continents and wrest control of the skies. This story arc is told in the perspective of a young Aurelian soldier, Everent Clauvis Griswall, who struggles to come in terms with his brother's 'death'. Severely delusional and suffering from a complex, he inadvertently sets out to find the truth behind the War that had killed his brother and engulfed the whole continent of Steiffer with chaos and death. The second story arc is set in the future Earth where an unexpected turn of mysterious events has triggered a massive War that has destroyed many countries, rendering the surviving nations struggling for what's left of the resources on the ravaged world. Unable to travel across devastated wastelands stretching hundreds of miles apart, nations have developed and built gravitational elevators as a main mode of transport among each other. The second story arc is told in the perspective of Jeremiah Kelson, a young and aspiring scientist/operative who had an unexpected military background and skill. Having no memories of his past, Kelson finally sets out to find the roots of his forgotten memories without knowing that it would place him in dangerous situations in search of his past life. After crossing paths with many different peoples of the other world, Kelson would eventually begin to question himself of his origins and has decided to find it out. Little does he know that fate will bring him in a chance encounter with another young soldier that might have some connections with him, leading to the revelations of a bigger and more shocking truth of the relations between the both worlds...

Bed of Lies, écrit par chelsy_lea

They broke her trust. They broke his mind. But when the past claws its way back, survival isn't enough - vengeance demands blood. Victoria learned how to stay quiet. Grief became her shadow, guilt her constant companion. It whispered in her ear that she should have been the one to die instead. Not her mother. Never her mother. If she had, maybe her father wouldn't have walked away, leaving them to fend for themselves. But silence is a fragile shield-and when the past resurfaces, dragging her into a world she barely escaped, she realizes staying quiet won't save her this time. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, behind rage, behind the monster his past made him. Forged by cruelty, built by betrayal, and fueled by rage, he became the kind of man other monsters feared. Scars became his armor. Violence, his language. He doesn't believe in mercy-only vengeance. Especially for the man who made him this way. Victoria was everything he had been taught to avoid - soft yet unbreakable, damaged yet defiant. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own, a past carved into her bones, a war waged behind tired eyes. She saw through him in ways no one else had ever dared, and he hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. He was chaos wrapped in quiet fury, a storm threatening to consume everything in its path. And yet, when she looked at him, she didn't just see the monster - she saw the man who had once fought to hold on to his soul. But love between two broken people is never easy. It's volatile. Cruel. A constant push and pull, neither of them willing to surrender, both too damaged to truly hold on. The closer they get, the more dangerous the stakes become. Yet, for all the ways they fought against it, they kept coming back to each other.

Forgetting You, écrit par 3milymae

Two opposites will always attractive each other in their own fascination, but like magnets, they'll always keep running away from each other. Twenty-year-old Naomi Taylor has spent her life running - from what? The past of her dead mother? Or was her father, a former runner-up in the presidential election against President Rylan Terrant, hiding something from not only his family; but his worst enemy? Then the charm of the White House - also the White House's biggest secret - appears in Naomi's trapped, struggled life. Gabriel, with a mission he LITERALLY can't refuse: find Mr. Taylor, and end him. The son of President Rylan, only hidden from the public, became apart of the social service when his father wanted him to "toughen away" from his political interests. But when he crosses paths with Naomi, the world he's been trained to believe in begins to fracture. A new name, a new identity, he has to live with everyday... What if he just wanted to be the boy Naomi wanted? Both are haunted by the weight of their fathers' choices, but somehow found their own similarities in themselves through it. Both shaped by loyalty and loss. In each other, they see the mirror of their pain - and the hope of something more. Maybe in another universe; if they can't escape the grasp of their situations. As the lies unravel and the hunt closes in, Naomi and Gabriel must decide: are they bound by their bloodlines, or can they rewrite their own fates? In a world where duty means destruction and love means betrayal, two broken hearts might be the only thing strong enough to melt the coldness of the public eye.

Falling Angels: Victoria's Secret , écrit par esschneider

Amelia knows she is different. Her father is the well reknown angel; Gabriel, God's right hand. Her brother is a golden haired, chiseled replica who similarly excels in obeying orders and living godly. Then there is her mother, Victoria. The most beautiful angel ever to exist. She has lushous golden hair that falls in waves, perfect blue eyes with flecks of silver and a figure that attracts men and women alike to her presence. She is the epitome of grace and calm nature, never bending a single rule. Amelia, like her family, excels in all she does. However her ink black hair quickly gives away her oddities from her golden family. She naturally beats out all her peers; in schooling, singing, dancing-everything. But unlike the rest of the angels who remain gracious when they win she is quick to gloat. She loves doing things best. She challenges everyone to think beyond their daily tasks. She is mockful of their passive nature, most of all Victoria. As a sixteen year old all Amelia wants to do is drop to earth below to take part in missions. She is bored of the heavens, bored of the flustery angels tsking behind her back when her temper slips, frustrated by her father's embarrassment of her different nature and spiteful of her mother's meekness and distance. As she views the earth below she feels drawn to the odd sensation of thrill that tingles through her at the chaos exploding below her. As Amelia engrosses herself in the actions below on earth Victoria watches her from afar. Though Victoria's composure appears serene her blue eyes gleam with deeper knowledge and understanding at the peril her daughter is feeling. Victoria knows Amelia will need to fall further than earth to unearth the secret that holds the answer to who she really is. She will soon learn Victoria's secret.

The King's-Horse (Book 1), écrit par AdamDreece

An all-new steampunk-meets-fairy-tale series of heart, legacy, and duty. Christina Creangle stared at the smoldering ruins of her life's work.

The Clockwork Heir, écrit par richardjunz

In the heart of a bustling steampunk city, 18-year-old Liora is an orphan working as a clockmaker's apprentice. Her life is ordinary, if not a little dull, until the day an enigmatic customer brings in a peculiar device: a clockwork box engraved with glowing symbols. "Fix this," the customer whispers, "and you'll uncover your destiny." Liora's curiosity outweighs her caution. She spends nights studying the box, discovering that it's not a clock-it's a map. When activated, it projects a shimmering route leading to the fabled "Vault of Aeons," a legendary artifact said to grant its possessor mastery over time itself. Before Liora can make sense of her discovery, she's attacked by a group of shadowy figures, revealing that others seek the box. Fleeing for her life, she's rescued by a roguish skyship captain named Cyrus, who offers her safe passage-if she splits the treasure with him. Reluctantly, Liora agrees, and they set off on an adventure filled with treacherous airship battles, hidden traps, and ancient riddles. As they journey, Liora uncovers secrets about her past. Her parents were not mere clockmakers but key members of an ancient order tasked with guarding the Vault. Her connection to the artifact is stronger than she ever imagined, and unlocking it might not just reshape her future-but rewrite the fabric of time itself. But the closer they get to the Vault, the more dangerous their path becomes. Rival treasure hunters, a crumbling alliance with Cyrus, and the revelation of the artifact's dark cost force Liora to make an impossible choice: seize the power to change the past or protect the present.

Eighteen years have passed since Lord Crainus, the metallic leader, reshaped the city. Now christened Vaporwarn, the once-polluted metropolis gleams with sterile efficiency. Towering wind turbines hum, powering the city with clean energy, while sleek, emotionless sentinels patrol the streets, enforcing Lord Crainus' ironclad rule. Yet, beneath the surface of progress, a simmering unease persists. The citizens, stripped of their individuality, move with a practiced stoicism. In this rigidly controlled environment thrives Anabelle, once known as Anya, Lord Crainus's daughter. Anabelle is no ordinary young woman. Inheriting her father's brilliance for invention, she secretly builds intricate mechanical devices, her crowning achievement being a sophisticated gauntlet pulsating with unknown energy. But unlike her father, Anabelle's heart is filled with love for her family and a burning desire to restore balance to Vaporwarn. A gnawing secret fuels her actions. The bargain her father struck with a demon to save the city transformed him into a cold, metallic being. Now, driven by a fierce love for her father and a yearning for the man he once was, Anabelle delves into forbidden knowledge. Her quest: to find a way to imprison the demon and release her father from its grasp. Armed with a battered notebook filled with cryptic symbols and fueled by her unwavering determination, Anabelle navigates the hidden underbelly of Vaporwarn, seeking out those who possess knowledge of the forgotten arts - the very tools needed to confront a darkness that threatens to consume them all. This is just the beginning of Anabelle's journey. Will she succeed in freeing her father and restoring hope to Vaporwarn? Or will the city succumb to the iron grip of Lord Crainus and the lurking shadows of the demon's bargain?
