In the world of Xeros where a great evil that nearly destroyed the land was defeated. The remains of the races and kingdoms are scattered about living in relative harmony besides border flags between a select few. 
     What was to happen if a village of the most powerful kingdom was destroyed? Who would be blamed for the attack and who is the one truly responsible? Could evil be on the rise once more? And if so who would be the ones to beat it back once more? What would it take to unite the land to face a common foe?

The Worst Fairytale || ONC 2024 - Shortlist ✔ by moon_fabler

**SHORTLISTED - ONC2024** Prompt: "Fairytales are real" and there couldn't be anything worse." "Hi, my name is Rue, and my fairytale is worse than Cinderella's and Snow White's. In "The Worst Fairytale," I, Rue, dive headfirst into an adventure that twists the classic fairytale into something dark, thrilling, and utterly enchanting.

Descendants of the Kings (Book 2) by paperweightfairy

Once upon a time, a wise Queen predicted that after millennia of peace, the evils she had once fought to vanquish would come back to seek vengeance. Men and Fae, under the thumb of one common enemy. When all hope seemed lost, in the darkest hour, the heroes once prophesied would rise again. The descendants of the Kings-- young warriors willing to defy it all to save them. Ella is not the young woman that left Rhothomir all those months ago. She has a choice to make now. She has a role to play, more significant than anything she could have imagined. Will it be more than she bargained for? Magic, life and death all have a price, and Ella will find out just how steep that price is. In a story written long before she was born, death might be the only answer, but it certainly isn't the end. The second and final book in the HOG duology, a fantasy story full of action, romance and magic!

The Sister of Lust by Naemmen93

"Imagine, if you will, a creature who's never felt fear before and you were given the task to inform it of the concept. How would you go about doing it? Would you try to describe it, the concept of terror, or absolute horror? Would you give it an example? Or would you show it what to fear and describe how one might react? Remember, one man's nightmare is another man's dream. How then would you show, teach, or give someone a taste of what fear is, when fear and lust are twins from the same worldly womb?" Fear clutches its claws around us differently. Some representations may have spindly legs prickling our skin. Others will have huge monstrous frames giving you the sense of helplessness and futility standing in its shadow. Others are more formless and unknown, sowing doubt and untruths like a farmer harvesting lies. Erik, sadly, finds himself in a position where he can only wish for such a feeling. Be it fear, love, joy or anger. And where Erik searches for something he has lost, Sarah searches for something she has always had, but is somehow difficult to reach. And as Sarah tries to leave her fears behind her a little four-legged creature is introduced to the concept of fear for the very first time.

Wings of Fate by LeeraIvy

Animosity between Humans and Faeriekind has long plagued the lands of Orphic, but began to fade in recent years. However, the newfound peace between species balances on a very thin thread which may soon break. With the emergence of a group known as Ironblades, Faeriekind is once again in danger. These Humans will stop at nothing to see all Faeries, and anyone born of Faerie blood, burnt to ash. Kalian Deirdre may be his people's last hope. It is up to him to infiltrate an Ironblade unit and uncover the true nature of their plot against Faeries before it's too late, but that will prove difficult. Moira Lev is an Ironblade Commander and well known for her hatred towards Faeries. Getting close to her won't be an easy task, and remaining undiscovered will be even harder. Regardless of the risks, Kalian is determined to succeed. He has to, or it will mean the extinction of his species as a whole. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real elements. There will be chapters dealing with sexual content, gore, PTSD, child loss, and other topics which some might find triggering. Completed April 2, 2022 *UNSOLICITED CRITICS MAY BE MUTED* see bio

The Eyes of Fate [Beta Chapters] by TeeVee37

Humans think they have gained control over this world, turning a blind and nieve eye to the past. The elves are gone, The Unicorns vanished, Mermaids, Fairies, and goblins are thought to be extinct. Now all that remains are the beasts of this world. Dragons have been a part of human mythology for centuries, along with another species, Demons. Now known as Krylocks, an ancient warlord threatens the very existence of all things pure, and two girls stand in his way. The Innocent, and The Shadow. So far I have only completed the first 5 chapters, the rest I will be working on while this is out. I'm releasing this so early for input, just to see what you guys think and what I should change. Oh yeah, and this is my first book ever "Published", so please bear with me. This will be the first book in a two-part epic[genre] novel series, or least that's what I'm planning.

✧The Earthe of the Elves✧ by StoriesbyAvery

"Upstairs!" I hear a yell and pounding footsteps. I crawl out of the window until I'm hanging from my hands. I take a breath. I let go. ~ Living in a small town with a single mother, Mia Glenn never expected anything special to come of her life. She never thought she would go on an adventure as harrowing as the stories she read. Until one day she narrowly avoids being kidnapped, discovering in the same day a whole new universe that she is supposedly a part of. As she navigates the elven world of Earthe with the help of a particularly attractive elf boy, she learns secrets about her identity and her father's, of whom she believed had ditched her and her mom at an early age. Soon Mia discovers that peace isn't as easy as it seems, and while Earthe may be beautiful, there are dark parts that are creeping back to the light. Even in a world of perfect beings such as elves, lies can be spun as precisely as an arrow can pierce a target, and evil can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Mia is used to reading about this kind of stuff, not living it. Safe to say she finds herself in one hell of an adventure. - - TW: if you need a tw for fighting, violence, weapons, blood, death, etc. I would read with caution (I don't get into any gory details, but there are scenes w/ this) I will put tw's for the more violent scenes.
