In the city of Corregal, sword fighting is a way of life - unless you're a girl. While young men compete for prestigious positions within the ruling Houses, young women have to rely on others to protect them from the dangers lurking in the streets. 

Neda decides to break tradition and learn to fight, but her secret lessons soon lead her into trouble. Late night visits to the shady part of town. Picking fights in rowdy taverns. Even a challenge in an illegal fighting ring. When she's asked to join an underground society of women sword fighters, she jumps at the chance. But her new friends have more than swordsmanship on their minds, and Neda suddenly finds herself caught up in a political conspiracy that threatens to crack the city in two. 

Her father's students will do their best to help her stay out of trouble, but Barris, Tierce, and Romeric have problems of their own. Amidst a tangle of family rivalries, hidden identities, and romantic entanglements - not to mention the occasional demon bent on wanton destruction - it's hard enough to keep themselves out of trouble. 

Before long, they'll all be fighting for their lives in the infamous City of Bridges.

Getting chosen by a 'Fallen God', it is now up to Sol, the genius protagonist of the original novel and a mysterious young woman to save the world.

The Glimmerstone Enigma [Epic Fantasy][D&D Inspired] by Ravensaloft

Occasionally, the outcome of epic conflict hinges on the efforts of unexpected heroes whose details are lost to time. This is one of those tales. After ruthless hook-headed demons slaughter the Luminarium's brothers and sisters without warning, early clues suggest the use of magic well beyond the capabilities of contemporary masters. Driven by grief and a thirst for vengeance, the two surviving monks join forces with a collection of poorly trained spies, treasure-hunting thieves, and an entitled ranger to settle the score. As they stumble into a puzzle of dark magic and conspiracy, the group is suddenly critical to the survival of freedom and civilization. Isolated and ill-equipped, can they unravel the Enigma in time to prevent a dark and dystopian future? What to Expect: Multiple Main Characters: A group of imperfect non-human adventurers with various skills and backgrounds join forces for a common desirable outcome. Collaborative Problem Solving: The struggle to become greater than the sum of their original parts and find a way to succeed as significant underdogs. Exploration and Discovery: A world with history, magic, and cryptids waiting to be discovered, understood, harnessed, and overcome. Natural Progression (without the stats): MCs develop personally and professionally within the story's context, honing themselves and their craft as they go. Dungeons and Dragons flavor: A homebrew world that broadly follows the ideas and constructs of the game. More adventure than politics: Worldbuilding is minor and situationally relevant. There will be no info dumps of national history or political rivalry, except where necessary to the plot. For me, the characters and the adventure are the story.

Through Light and Shadow by ela_lalala

Aveline never expected to find herself in a world like Elarion-vast and brimming with magic beyond her understanding. Called to a land of ancient mysteries and hidden dangers, she must navigate the unknown, uncovering the truth of her own power along the way. But magic is not just a gift-it is a force that shapes destinies, forges alliances, and ignites wars. As Aveline journeys across Elarion, she will meet those who guide her, those who seek to use her, and those who fear what she may become. Friend or foe, light or shadow-nothing is ever as simple as it seems. To survive, Aveline must embrace her strengths, face her weaknesses, and carve her own place in a world that may never accept her. Her story is one of magic, growth, and the choices that define who we are. And in Elarion, every choice has consequences. ~ Hi! This is my first fantasy book, and I hope you enjoy it!

Crescent | ✓ by TheConfusedTurtle

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2) by _Hiraeth_Author_

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.
