Affinity, an individuals power, manifesting within those chosen after suffering circumstantial tragedies.  When Nareh, a girl who awoke eighteen years ago without a single memory with the exception of a name, a jewel and a scar.  

Set in two warring Kingdoms, Vaylÿn and Satÿne, Nareh is brought before her kingdom, Vaylÿn's Queen alongside four other Affinity promised to be tools of war.

Nareh has a scar that runs from her left shoulder blade to her right hip, with no recollection of how it got there or what it is.  Nareh believes she is weak, being able to miraculously seal a fatal cut or cure a death bringing disease on anyone but herself.  Nothing about her or her Affinity is incredible or outstanding and it isn't an Affinity for war.  

When Nareh comes eye to eye with Stark Alexandar, another mysterious yet powerful Affinity from Satÿne, she is only pushed deeper into her lost memories of the past.  With a supposed rescue mission, Stark breaks free and upon his escape, seizes Nareh across the border.  The only thing supposedly sparing her for the time being is the peculiar scar of her back, that everyone else seems to know about but her.  

Nareh is thrown into a whole new world and will do everything in her power to survive.  When Nareh miraculously saves Stark from being backstabbed, his vicious demeanour takes a swing.  Nareh discovers forbidden places she shouldn't find familiar and people she shouldn't meet.  

The history behind both Kingdom's is long forgotten, Nareh discovers the painful truths behind the land she calls home, the Affinity and her past. 

Nareh slowly, painfully learns to stand alone, finally realising that fate truly rests on her shoulders.  She has a will to live, sick and tired of being weak and unable to save those at hands reach.  
Nareh decides her fate, she can't stand by one Kingdom alone anymore, so she decides to save them both and end the war between them.

SEVEN MOONS by Brooklyn_nicole3
17 parts Ongoing
Many moons ago, the world of Vahldria flourished with Fae in abundance. As time moved on, so did its inhabitants. War was inevitable. And what was once Vahldria, is now split among boundaries, and the Fae no longer exist here. After everything, their magic and peculiar portals were left behind. Each boundary is ruled by a leader of their own kind. However, Nastaeria is known for its nasty business with the Videguard, a group of assassins whose purpose is to serve their owner. Novalie Venantius was born into the Videguard, alongside her wolf, Shiloh. Deemed an assassin at a young age, she began dipping her hands into a dangerous world of theft, trade, and murder. When word crosses Nova that the King placed a bounty on her, she is determined to leave Nastaeria immediately. Her owner gives her the only option of traveling to the old Fae land of Vahldria, where she tries her best to ignore the people who reside here: the Aiken. Following the mission her owner gave her, Nova is tasked to behead an unknown rebel of Vahldria. Upon finding her target, she is met with an unlikely character and more questions than answers. When worlds collide with the Princes of Vahldria, Nova finds herself in the mix of a very dangerous plan. Unfortunately, one problem exists, the signature sign of a Fae creature: her burning blue eyes. Nova faces betrayal in the ones she trusts, friendship with unexpected people, and love, something she has never allowed herself to feel since her mother passed. She begins a new life that she never could have imagined. A life that she is torn between giving up and continuing to pursue. But how many more deaths could she handle? Did her owner deceive her? Or help her? How far would she go for answers? And the one question that she can not stop asking. Where did her ancestors, the Fae, go?

Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world. Vivid imagery and deep characterization. Quirky magic system with mysterious elements and history. An original spin on the classic portal fantasy/isekai/waking up in another world interweaved with a science fiction twist. Scattered allusions and easter eggs. Builds expectations of future events to then defy that prediction. Slow-burn romance and complex, realistic relationships. Seriousness with a dash of humor.
