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.

Eye of the Needle: Into the Reikai by DystopianSmile
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Faith, fear, and fury. The strongest, most inalienable things that make us human. While the people of the world learn and grow, they shed feeling and emotion as time passes. Much like how matter cannot truly be destroyed, the energies of these sentiments never dissipates. Instead, it feeds beings born of all types of things, from ancient cultural followings to widespread societal discourse. In turn, these beings give back to the world--for better or worse. After the traumatic incident of his father's death, young DeMain is thrust into a world of turmoil and a hidden people right under the world's nose. As he harnesses a rare and unique ability gifted to him in exchange for his suffering, his view of the world unravels as he converges with others given the gift of Witchblood, an ability to see and interact with spirits. This book will take on its narrative based on the first-person views of three separate protagonists. I will remind those reading that 'protagonist' does not equate to 'hero' in all cases. A forewarning: This story includes many heavy themes and I felt the need to write them with the reality of how they happen. As such, be cautious. This book contains mentions of sexual assault, murder, violence, substance abuse, and overall conflict. There are also quite a varied amount of scenes with some 'gross' aspects to them. Though I imagine this would only affect those with vivid imaginations, you deserve to be warned regardless. Updates will done be once weekly if not more.
