Lannasia Derouv, distinguished member of Elchwen's secretive Thieves' Guild, is commissioned to steal a prized artefact from the heavily fortified estate of Murswich. Her esteemed client is no other than the war general of her country and the High Lord of the North, Remus Kantillion, a man second in power only to her King. 

When a fire tears through the Northern Lord's campgrounds in the backyard of an ancient and treacherous forest, Lannasia flees with the glowing artefact Kantillion fervently desires-marking herself as a traitor to the North and a wanted criminal by the Crown.

In her long and arduous journey travelling the old forest to escape to the Southern Province's capital city, Lannasia meets the kind and wise Alderyth, Master Conjurer of the Mages' Guild, and his arrogant, obnoxious apprentice Nox Artois. Although Nox is constantly bristling with every interaction between the young mage and the thief, Lannasia joins their company in hopes to discover a way to safely return to the Thieves' Guild and revoke the bounty on her head.

Will she be able to rid herself of the stolen artefact and return to her life as Master Thief? Or is she bound to live out her life as a fugitive on the run from the second most powerful man in all of Elchwe?

A thrilling high fantasy novel exploring the intoxications of magic, friendship and love.

Nagan | Broken Time Series: Book One by ShyGuySamurai

Who knew what would happen after stealing some bread from a street stall? Certainly not Nagan. Nothing out of the ordinary should have happened, considering stealing food to survive was the norm. But fate, destiny, karma, whatever you wanted to call it, had a funny way of showing mercy. Nagan didn't know what to think when a baby dragon dropped in front of him. Even stranger, it was there to deliver an invitation. Carvolier was calling to him, as was a larger-than-life destiny. Like father, like son, after all. Yet something darker seeped through the seams as his years in Carvolier went on. Only time knew what awaited him.

The Forgotten Crown by JordanHaviland

After ten years of rebellion, pillage, and death, the civil war between humans and fae finally ended. Peace and prosperity came with the birth of the mortal country, Ellesmere. The humans were free from their fae masters. Two decades later, Morana Stavenger has made a reputation in the overpopulated city of Molwreeth. She is the only female halfling in the city, perhaps the entire country. With her snow-white hair and amber eyes, her fae blood strikes fear into all who see her. That fear is what makes her career as a thief and mercenary so easy. After being orphaned at only thirteen, Morana had no other choice but to turn to crime to survive. With the aid of her caregiver and employer, The Madame Wyvern, Lydia Stavenger, her life is now comfortable and full of coin. Until the night a mysterious man burns her life as she knows it to ash. Follow Morana through a world filled with monsters, magic, and secrecy as she's forced into a new identity in order to repay a debt to the arrogant and cruel, Jovah Windsinger. Amid her journey, she uncovers darker secrets than she could ever imagine-secrets that will make her question everything. Will Morana survive long enough to escape back to her homeland, or will the evil lurking in the shadows devour her?

A Forest of Secrets by LRamirezN

⭐ FEATURED ⭐ 02/16/2018 Longlisted, Wattys 2018 ✅ COMPLETE Jocasta's nineteen years of peaceful existence in a little village of the Kingdom of Ontur blew up in pieces without much warning: Grandmother had a secret, an old pact with a mysterious man-a pact that, apparently, Jo and her new tagalongs - a flamboyant mage, a goofball knight pledge and a young alchemist-now had to take care of, thanks to the untimely death of the King of Ontur. A quest to find an ancient place, concealing an artifact of unmeasurable power and rumored to be deadly. And posthaste, before it falls into the wrong hands. That's something all grandmothers ask of their granddaughters sometime in their lifetime, right? And all that was at stake was the stability of the kingdom: no pressure. Set in a world where magic is vital, where mages are as equally feared and shunned as they're needed. A temporarily Kingless kingdom where vultures wait for the perfect time to take a plunge. A world where secrets and lies are as abundant, dangerous and necessary as magic. But something else brews in the Kingdom of Ontur: something bigger than Jocasta and her Grandmother's secrets. ⭐ 1st place in Fantasy, The Crystal Crown Awards 2017 || Highest ranking : #46 in Fantasy 03/04/2018 #writteninaction you can read a review here: https://www.wattpad.com/471550430-island-of-lost-toys-reviews-great-reads-for-the

Of Blood and Duty by WhiteGoldFangs

Wattpad Exclusive! Nearly beaten to death, a man wakes up in a place he does not know. Neither can he remember how he even ended up there. Waking up in the middle of a road he discovers a world of pain only to drift off into unconsciousness again. His body having been crushed and broken beyond his wildest dreams. Falling out of consciousness from the pain, he later wakes up in a bed. A new place he does not know, but being looked after by someone. A woman. Why was he in the care of this beautiful but strange person? How had he ended up in her care? Why had she taken him in and why was she and everyone else so guarded around him? Determined to make his way back home, wherever that may be, the man soon realizes that things are not as easy as he first had thought. Learning to fit in with the people who took him in at the brink of death, he learns that a war is raging between two kingdoms, and which one he belongs to, he cannot remember... if he belongs with to any of them. All he has to remind him of his life before is a sword with a crest of two lions on its pommel... and a woman named Jade who screams for him in his sleep. This is a spin off of The Prince's Choice and Hunted Queen. I recommend reading those two before this one to get the best experience possible!
