Torris Corozad is perhaps the most talented weapons expert and swordsmith that her country has ever seen. She is also the leader of a band of runaways and vagabonds that hides out in an abandoned monastery on the border between two rival countries.

When the Warrior-King of the neighboring land of Ebellum is assassinated, the arrow that impaled his brain like a suckled pig on a spitroast is identified to have been masterfully crafted by Torris. Suspicious eyes turn westward. An inquirer from the King's court is sent to question her, but Kellen Tarr, a renowned brute and killer, is determined to get to her first. 

With no surviving heir, the Warchief has left behind no legacy, and virtually limitless power in the form of the throne is up for grabs. Thieves, pirates, and sorcerers all swarm to Ebellum's capital city of Duinthral to demonstrate their wealth and power, and make bids for the crown. The only way Kellen believes he has a claim to it is by the ultimate display of power:  destroying the monster known only as "the Shapeless" that has been plagueing their world for centuries. However, in order to defeat it, he will need Torris's help. Torris, on the other hand, has a completely separate agenda- one she hopes to accomplish before Kellen catches on and does everything in his power to stop her.

Written from dual perspectives, Interregnum is the exciting first installment of the prospective Ebellum Trilogy.All Rights Reserved

The Source (Creasan #1) by WillJaceDaemonPatch

In a world where dragons rule the sky and ogres walk the earth, a young woman leads a rebellion against the corrupt king in pursuit of answers and revenge. Eighteen-year-old Thea Wyvern has hated King Favian Lance of Creasan her entire life. It isn't a hard emotion to have when she has grown up witnessing murder in the streets and starvation in her family and friends. Raised in the rebellion known as The Source, Thea has been trained and conditioned to handle herself in battles of both violence and intellect. After the king executed someone very close to her, Thea has been working towards the king's demise as The Source's new leader. When an assassination attempt goes horribly wrong, Thea becomes the king's prisoner and is given a firsthand look at the people she has loathed her entire life. She takes note of the king's insecurity, the handsome Prince Fendrel Lance's carefully restrained demeanor, the abused look of Queen Ana, and the delicate balance of court life. Armed with this knowledge, she manages to escape the palace with a new plan to help her fellow citizens. If she can find Aestus, the dragon responsible for the founding of the kingdom, she might finally be able to overthrow the horrible king. It is a perilous and risky mission, but her fellow rebels agree to the plan. Joined by the prince whose motivations may only appear to be genuine, they head for The Forbidden Mountain, where Aestus is said to live. The rebels will have to fight against the mythical creatures of the forest, the weather, and their own prejudices. Meanwhile, the king and queen are caught in their own web of danger as Ana seeks safety away from her husband and the Lance family curse sends Favian spiraling into madness. The fate of the royal family, the people of Creasan, and The Source all rest on Thea's last-ditch plan, but her own trauma might very well be the largest threat to the mission.

In These Days of War by Troublesome_Wench

The elven kingdom of Tírnéth, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector?

"Assassin's Creed: Valhalla: Blood and Oaths" by Chris9417

In this epic reimagining of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Eivor Varinsdottir, the fierce Raven Clan shieldmaiden, finds herself entangled in a forbidden romance with Randvi, the wife of her sworn brother, Sigurd Styrbjornsson. What begins as a hidden passion ignites into a love so powerful that it threatens to reshape the future of Ravensthorpe and all of England. Bound by desire, duty, and destiny, Eivor and Randvi defy tradition and claim each other-not as lovers in the shadows, but as wives in the eyes of the gods and their people. Their union, however, sparks a rift that tears through the Viking world, drawing them into a brutal conflict with Sigurd and the hidden hands of the Order of the Ancients, who seek to manipulate their war for their own gain. Amidst savage battles, political intrigue, and the looming specter of war, the two women must navigate the treacherous landscape of alliances and betrayals. As they lead Ravensthorpe into its most perilous era, they uncover a conspiracy stretching across the Saxon lands-one that threatens not just their home, but the very future of England itself. But even as blades clash and oaths are broken, Eivor and Randvi's love remains unshaken, burning like a beacon in the darkness. Together, they forge a new path-one not dictated by fate, but by their own hands. A story of war and devotion, vengeance and redemption, Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Blood and Oaths is a saga where love is both a weapon and a shield, and where two Viking women defy gods and kings to carve out their own legend.

Treasured by the Dragon - Season Two by sylviaNgould

Taliyah's beloved, Cephias, may be able to turn into a fierce dragon, but that won't help him navigate the human world. She must escort him across multiple kingdoms in time to save his people from the brutal rival that's stolen Cephias's home, all while fighting to keep the spark of their desire from burning out. Season 2 of Treasured by the Dragon *** Princess Taliyah never expected to fall in love with Cephias, the dragon shifter she was sacrificed to. Nor did she ever think there'd be a greater threat than the beasts she was raised to hate. However, Irving, a rival dragon, threatens to enslave the realm. And though both Taliyah and Cephias fought valiantly against him, Irving still gravely wounded Cephias's wing, which left them stranded far from home. Irving is still out there and time may be running out for Cephias's clan. With Cephias unable to fly, it is now up to Taliyah to lead him through the complexities of human society. And despite their clear path forward, trials keep pulling them off course. Taliyah hopes a knight from her past can help tip the scales, but is it worth the fierce jealousy it ignites in Cephias? Can she prove her devotion to him? Or will the pressure fracture the fragile love she so recently found?

Ash and Blood by MarcusBaird004

A kingdom sold. A prince forgotten. A woman whose fire might be the end of him... or his salvation. Thorian under the alias Corrin, the last heir of a fallen house, lives in the shadow of his burned past, hidden behind a false name and the armor of the knightly order that raised him. When fate places him in the path of a silver-haired stranger with fire behind her eyes, he expects trouble. He doesn't expect her to change everything. Loona is sharp-tongued, guarded, and dangerous and hiding a secret of her own. As kingdoms stir and ancient powers awaken, Thorian finds himself torn between duty and desire, drawn to a woman he barely understands and haunted by a legacy he can't ignore. But secrets have teeth, and the deeper they fall into war, prophecy, and blood, the harder it becomes to tell who is saving who and who is damning them both. Loyalties will be tested. Love will be twisted. And before the heir can reclaim his crown, he must first decide what kind of king and man he's willing to become. Note: I am trying to avoid most pitfalls that seems to be in every fantasy story lately and make it more relatable to the reader when able. Some pitfalls may be unavoidable though. Also, I only use AI for editing, art and world building assistance. The eventual goal is to hire an actual editor and artist to eliminate it entirely. That being said I don't have any issues with anybody using AI as long as they don't ghostwrite with it. What to expect: Male Lead/ some Female lead when applicable Slow Burnish Kingdom Building Romance Medieval time period/with fantasy aspect Battles Some erotica World Building 30 Chapters laid out maybe more, at least 3 books planned (If I make it that far)

The Prophecy of Water | TheWattys2018 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld.

Broken But Unburnt by ANHorton1227

(This story will become free on JULY 15, 2024) They say nothing was left of Ravenna Aphelion... nothing but her ancestral amber ring and a scared little girl clinging to it and crying in the ash of her home, broken but unburnt. Season 1 of Broken But Unburnt *** Years later, three kingdoms are on the verge of war. Karil seeks to wipe out the magic that Idoria worships and Delos is caught in the middle, taking refugees and making alliances that are raising tensions more than diffusing them. A man in the West calls himself The Chaos and is doing his best to live up to the name, a prophecy has scholars on the edge, and religious zealots are flooding the streets and committing violent acts against those against the belief. This world needs salvation. And it may come from the most unlikely of sources; the bastard of a sullen king, an assassin with a deadly secret, and a monster hunter from an ancient order. They may not save the world but they will give it a choice. Resurrection or ruin? What will humanity choose?
