A country divided. On one side, a king with an iron fist moves his paper puppets in a world of white and cream. On the other, worn counsellors watching over a bright few cities of ash and flame and delight. Propaganda, lies, and slander sought like poisonous seeds in the minds of ignorant civilians. Only one town lies outside the fray. Mirren was peaceful, hidden behind the mountains in a little valley that could not be penetrated by the fires of the Dyren forces. Safe. Or so they thought. A paper town burned to the ground. A prospering city alive with the light of flame and laughter. And in between it all, one person with the power to raze the world, or save it.

He has ideas on how to stop it, his mind is creative and big, but no one listens to his tiny figure... until it's too late. Vale is close to ruins, the beast is more ruthless than before, and Corie realizes what his parents kept from him all those years-- but can he save his home?

2nd Place in The Dragon Fire Awards 3rd Place in Science Fiction in the Tricolour Terrenial Awards. " No one was truly your own in this world. Everyone, in the deepest parts of their hearts, cared only for themselves. And even if true love did exist, you can never truly understand someone. You can never know what is going on in the other person's head. For all you know, the person can be looking at you with loving eyes, full of bliss, but really they are battling their own, inner demons, keeping secrets buried and telling lies to cover up. That's what people do. That's what everyone does. Keep their demons buried and tell lies to keep them buried. And people love so that they can heal, so that they can find relief from continuously battling their demons. To have someone to share their burden with. And havoc occurs when the demon is stronger than your will, when love isn't enough to keep the monster at bay. " A girl, torn between her heart and mind. A boy, set out to avenge his parents. A pair of twins with only one, deadly goal in their life. A country ruled and oppressed by a power-hungry mad man. Will they ever be free?

The Shadows of Eldraeth by razialthedemonking
22 parts Complete Mature
In the mystical realm of Eldraeth, a land once teeming with beauty and harmony, dark clouds of fear and oppression have taken hold. This once-united land is now divided into regions where each community has secluded itself, distrustful and hostile toward outsiders. The Kingdom of Ironspire has risen in power under King Vorrath, a charismatic but ruthless ruler who has forged an empire built on hatred, bigotry, and an iron-fisted hierarchy. Vorrath preaches a doctrine of purity, where only those who fit his rigid ideals are worthy of protection; anyone different is marked as an "other" and hunted mercilessly by his forces. Eldraeth's people, now living in fear, have forgotten their past unity, as each race and group looks upon the others with suspicion. The Forest Elves view the Gnomes as beneath them; the Dwarves, isolated in the mountains, distrust the humans; and humans, split into warring factions, shun all who are different. Nonconformists, women who wield power, lovers who defy expectations, and anyone who refuses to fit neatly into society's mold is persecuted, hunted, or forced into hiding.
