Magic and ego always go well together be it in either the hands of a tyrant or a hero. In the world of Belvegarde, kingdoms are fraught with war, as men slaughter each other with steel and magic in the name of their old Gods.

Mystaline is not one of those armored, volatile savages. She's a young, sheltered woman who is one of the Gifted, mortals born surrounded by Mist and blessed with different forms of magic.

Unlike other musicians and singers, she is able to turn any backwater rhyme into a beautiful song that can move thousands and heal them. It is because of this that she vows to use her gift to mend the war-ridden kingdom of Caledonia, which she calls home.

But instead of achieving the fame and recognition she thought being a Gifted would come with, Mystaline instead discovers the cruelty of Caledonia's inner circle. Unbeknownst to her, the Gift she was born with is the catalyst that will drown all of Belvegarde in blood.

A Day of Sorrow, The Tales of Old by FreeReinVikings

A day like any other, turned to blood and misery in the blink of an eye. The soul devourers had been withheld for thousands of years, the residents beyond Riverin's walls growing comfortable. Their ignorance could be their downfall as everything crumbles. Even the veterans aren't prepared for an assault, underestimating their opponent. Carnade, born to another land, has found a home in Riverin. He's always known how great a threat the devourers were, but he never thought their first strike would be Riverin. Now he has to choose between protecting his family or the people he swore himself to. Derosai was born and raised in Riverin, dedicating her life to abolishing the soul devourer race from the face of Alatine. Everything she worked toward. Everything her and her husband planned could be torn away. Her husband believes their son to be the key to ending the devourer blight and if he perishes, there won't be anyone to stop the second dark war. Alithium was born to another world, frozen and far from Riverin. Unlikely events destroy everything she holds dear, tearing her away from the only home she's ever known by thrusting her into a foreign land. One of heat and despair. She soon finds out how unwelcoming man can be, taken into a city on the brink of destruction. Her only goal is to escape. Their problems, man or devourer... it didn't concern her. Their faces, all the death, and all the screams. I can still see and hear them to this day - Crow Akroth This is A Day of Sorrow, By Dominik Sorensen. I hope you enjoyed the introduction, the first three chapters. If you did, you can find the full novel on amazon. The link is in my LinkTree in our bio. But, I do want to advise you to read (A Promise of Blood) before this novel. It takes place before A Day of Sorrow and is quite relevant to understand certain points of this novel.

Ever So Lightly- Book 1 by paisleypikachu

{COMPLETED} The stars disappeared seventeen years ago. A black night sky has mirrored a bleak existence for the people of Auros. The Gifted, humans with unique abilities to affect the world around them, have all but become extinct thanks to the dark reign of a usurper. And somehow Zephyr Elvy has managed to live her nineteen years in the blissful quiet of a small town next to the sea. Zephyr has always been content to keep to herself, and happy to live a simple, if uneventful, life. If only the universe had that in mind for her. Forced to flee the only place she has ever called home, Zephyr finds herself running through a world she has only ever read about, along with two soldiers who have deserted their posts to keep their consciences clean. With only a letter and a mysterious weapon as clues to why she's being hunted, Zephyr must face her own fears while discovering a whole new world of terrors at the hands of a queen she knows next to nothing about. Having never risked anything her entire life, Zephyr is forced to choose between apathy or action, hiding and keeping to herself, as she has always done, or taking a leap that could change the world she is just now getting to see. ***** Thank you SO MUCH for reading! I'm updating every Monday until this story is done, and I've been sitting on this one for almost three years so I'm really excited to finish it! I don't have any beta readers for this as I write, so please let me know if you notice anything, and I mean ANYTHING, that needs fixing! :)

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira

[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

$The Beauty of Mist, the Beast of Dawn {INDEFINITE HOLD} by kNGT_fringed_gentian$

A Loose Retelling of Beauty and the Beast A BEAUTIFUL WITCH. Bookish Myalah, the town beauty as well as its only living witch, has always wanted a way out. Now, especially, about a year after having her heart broken, she is more desperate than ever to leave. Not to mention her father's health, a problem that she cannot fix with her magic. But when an opportunity arises, Myalah is torn with indecision. Can she really set her ideals aside and leave her only home she's ever known for a possibility, and an unlikely one at that? A BEASTLY PRINCE. Luka, 'the Beast' and heir to Valennia's throne, is running out of time. As a young boy, a curse was cast upon him, one that could break his kingdom should it take full effect. He won't allow it to happen. Unfortunately, the one solution Luka was given, the one way to break the curse, his one way out, has a time limit-and he is nearly eighteen. Plus, the solution, to love and be loved, seems unattainable. Can he truly open his heart to someone else? More importantly, can he be enough for someone else's heart? Their worlds collide as their fights begin; Luka fighting against his family's will and himself for hope, for love, and for his kingdom, Myalah fighting the status quo and the jealous nobility for herself and her father. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? Cover art by Ace (@I_write_for_sanity)
