It was the year of our Lord 496; the wars had been raging for more than fifteen years now. England was falling apart, not one corner unscathed by the horrors of war. King Richard’s campaigns had claimed the lives of so many of England’s young men and boys that there was a fear it would not survive this war. It was rumoured that the legendary sword, Excalibur had stopped responding to Richard, proving to all that a new king was needed. Richard himself had no heirs, his love betrayed him for another and the wound she had left consumed his heart. Fearing his own death and the question of who was next in line, Richard banned all talk of a new king and stoically claimed that Excalibur was still working for him, the way it had when his heart was still open. But Excalibur wouldn’t and couldn’t protect him any longer…

King Arthur and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
A World Seperate From Percy Jackson's world emerges.. A world where things happened very differently. Saber was always a different girl, she knew that. Not only was her name odd and rather unrealistic for any person, she had no family whatsover, went to a school she didn't remember applying for, and was somehow best friends with a boy who looked like the goatee he possessed was a bit too much for how old he should've been. Not to mention she freeloads in the house of a pregnant woman who lives with a man she would love light on fire one day and watch burn. However, things get weirder, when Saber finds herself at a Camp for Demigods, with the campers telling her she belongs there. But no.. she doesn't belong there. Because she's not a Demigod.. no.. she's something far greater.. and it might just get her killed.Complete

Stunned by this horrific transformation, Artoria grapples with the overwhelming presence before her. Shirou's voice, devoid of warmth and filled with disdain, sends a chilling shock through her.

Myrddin's Magic - Book One of the Magic Trilogy
Almost two thousand years ago, vampires, shifters and the fay were integrated in society. In the pursuit of knowledge, some Druids believed that it was better to become a vampire than it was to rely upon reincarnation. Merlin was such a man. In 500 A.D., a seer gives Merlin a prophecy that said that in 1500 years, there would be a woman born, half fay and half shifter, who would be instrumental in the fight of good versus evil. It would be up to Merlin to protect this woman. Fifteen hundred years later, Merlin, now known as Killian Wylte, rescues Amalie Le Beau from a vampire attack, a vampire that was intent upon enslaving humans and making them serve vampires. If these 'bad' vampires are able to drink Amalie's magical blood, they will become strong enough and magical enough to fulfill their quest. Killian must save Amalie - and mankind - from this fate. This is the first book of a trilogy and will be published chapter by chapter to allow more time for people to leave comments.Complete
