Death's Sword Book 1: Finding and Seeking by StevenBarberWriter

Ninja fade through the shadows. Tengu wings flutter in the branches. Magic works and the samurai of Hywhen seethe against the indignities the mages heap upon them. Divisions wrack the Imperial Court. To the west, the Teutons, both Prussian and Mansurian, look in horror as the thunderheads of civil war gather over their allies the Hywheni. Allies they will badly need soon, for the copper-bloods on their borders are stirring, ready for slaughter. And behind it all, the demonic klchzak pull the strings on their puppets, eager to regain their dominance over the world and all the peoples they have kidnapped and put there. Amidst all this, a boy who has died once already finds Death and, all unwilling, seeks his destiny. Welcome to the world of Noruth, where little is what it seems! I will be adding chapters on a fairly frequent basis. Book 1 and Book 2 are complete. The final book is currently being written.

Rise of the Warrior of Everfen by CM_Herndon

[COMPLETED] This is an epic, character driven tale about love, gaining freedom, finding yourself, and overcoming hardship. Stolen away as a child, Erinne has spent her life as a slave to the orcs, a race that has been at war with humans for as long as she can remember. However, times are changing and the new Great Chieftain has forbidden the keeping of slaves in a bid to bring peace with the humans. Being freed is only the beginning. She struggles to find her place in the world as humans no longer accept her for being too "orcish" and orcs find her too human. She is stuck in between, in the heart of a war attempting to broker peace for the orcs that saved her life while she fights to survive and understand the war inside her own heart and find where she belongs. Author Note: This story is now under revision, but it took me years to write the first one, I expect it might take just as long to revise so I encourage you to please read this version, and if you like, step over and review the in progress revisions which I will be posting periodically. #1 Fantasy Romance (6/9/21) #1 Epic Fantasy (1/11/21) #1 Quest (12/2/19) #11 fantasy (12/31/19) #1 fantasy adventure (4/6/22) Update: #4 medieval (8/22/21)

Another Stupid Spell by billricardi

Another Stupid Spell is a first person high fantasy novel, the likes of which hasn't been seen in 60 years. The tone and vocabulary of the story shifts as our narrator, Sorch the orc, finds ways to enhance his intelligence. You get to grow as Sorch grows, learn as he learns, and share his most intimate thoughts. Sorch is an orc mage in a world where orcs are cursed with stupidity every time they cast a spell. The only spell he can safely cast is Enhance Intelligence, which boosts his IQ for a fraction of a second before the curse drains it all away again. Normally casting such a spell would be pointless, but Sorch's tribe has found a way to benefit. Magic that is cast near a mysterious artefact called the 'Voodoo Engine' causes invisible hands to appear, and these hands get work done for his tribe. Sorch is a slave to the Voodoo Engine, casting a single spell over and over again to avoid being beaten by the chief's warrior caste. While foraging for food on one fateful night, our hero happens upon two human mages who are in big trouble. He saves their lives, and in return they give him an amulet that will make his life easier. Unbeknownst to the humans, their gift grants Sorch the power to break the cycle of intelligence drain and physical abuse. With the help of his friend and mentor, Shaman, Sorch becomes a real mage. Sorch leaves his swamp and embarks on a series of incredibly exciting and dangerous adventures. During his travels he encounters horrible injury, magical treasures, love, snow, university admissions tests, a plot against the Kingdom, and then of course he saves the world. Or does he? Be prepared to rethink everything you know about thinking. If your own intelligence was the fuel that your magic ran on, how brightly would you dare to burn?

The Demon's Deal by JarlVersavel

When a personal grudge threatens to endanger the lives of not only himself but of all the people he holds dear, Seamus the half-orc is forced to enlist the help of his friends in order to deal with the threat. Yet not all is as it seems, and the journey eventually forces him to make an impossible choice. For exactly how wise is it to put your trust in a demon's word? ---------------------------------------------- NOTE from the writer: This is the short story I wrote based on a D&D arc in the game I run as a dungeon master. I plan to release a chapter every week, sort of episodic! It is also the spark that eventually led me to publish my first novel: The Lady's Gift - Part One of the Chosen Saga. I posted this as an example of my writing style, so if you like this, be sure to check out the novel through my profile and blog link! Hope you enjoy, and any criticism or comments are very, very welcome.

The Ancients by YxngAuthor

A war plagues the livable north of Mokosh. Both dwarven and human lives lost. Trying to keep the peace a prince and his bastard friend make their way into the arms of yet another enemy. Yet the terrors of the world are not done plaguing them as they are thrust into a journey they have no business being a part of. Yet somehow a bastard, a ward, and two princes find the world's fate resting directly on their shoulders. Author's note: I know I know, I put an Author's note in here already saying I was going to try to maintain one chapter a month. But unfortunately, the fascism is getting to me, and I (very unfortunately) am under govt. contract, so it is taking me a while to get through these, while editing plus proof reading, and doing literally everything else. Your understanding and patience does not go unnoticed. I appreciate you all taking the time to read my book. It is still going, even if there hasn't been updates in months. This party of four have been living in my head over a decade they have to come out. TLDR Fascism is kicking my ass. No, I'm not dead. No I didn't give up on the book. Please hang around I will get to finishing it, but it's taking me some extra time.

They declared the war over, but the war drums are still sounding. They say the threat is gone, but settlements are still burning in the south. They declared the pale orc dead, still there are whispers of him leading the attacks. Now with a drawing of activity around the ancient altar I must know the truth. What are they hiding to order me back to post, why are so many nobles fleeing out of reach if this is the great age of peace?
