Some of them were lost, as in any game and in the end all that remained was the king, standing alone atop a mountain of those who gave themselves for nothing. 
No, my dear reader, this is not a happy tale. So, brace yourself. You are about to delve into my world; a world where even the most innocent of souls can murder in cold blood, and those with the cruelest and most wretched hearts can soothe the pain of others.

Adilah of Grend was not expecting to be stuck in the middle of a magical civil war. But when her father makes a deal he can't keep, there is only so much a girl can do...

The ant's song by NickVoice9

Arriving in a new world, humans found themselves to be the only ones unable to use magic. After a few peaceful years, a bloody war broke out between mankind and the nymphs, creatures most skilled in magic. Several centuries passed. Hiding behind the walls, humans in all eight kingdoms were trying to squeeze every last bit of technology to fight against the constant threat from the nymphs. But if the end justifies the means, the risk of losing humaneness is no less than losing a war. The storylines take place simultaneously. Cornelia, the young princess of the Castro kingdom, seeks a way to help people survive in the harshest territory and to oppose her father. Meanwhile, in the Vardana Kingdom, Ashwin, a young son of a vizier who was accused of treason, is captured and sentenced to a brutal execution. The hunchback girl, Bug, finds a strange magic artifact that forever changes her life as an outcast. Their different approaches may lead to a disastrous end, or open different paths for humanity's future. P.S. The cover is created by Sae Vain https://www.artstation.com/saevain P.P.S. That's the end of the first volume. Will come back with the second one after a short break.

The Carnelian Way by Jazzy1983

Deceit. Love. Power. Centuries ago, the mages of Old Denea destroyed their civilisation to keep Mai, a half-blood prince, from inheriting the throne. Mai rescued the survivors from the remaining Devastation and brought them to Eurora. Since that time the refugees' descendants have toiled--ostracised and feared by the Eurans, enslaved by the strict dictates of the Magisterium that keep their powers in check--hoping to earn forgiveness from the now god-like Emperor Mai. Rina, a young Denese woman leaves her home in Eurora's northern outpost, Amadore, and travels to the capital, Nebia, determined to find a way to convince Mai and the Magisterium to free her people before they rise up. But when she gets there, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to trigger the demise of another nation.

Fly or Fall by Blackbird_273

A hundred years ago the world Omora was filled with magic. It flowed through the rivers, blew with the wind; magic sparked with every flame ignited. Life existed with and because of magic. The people, witches and humans alike depended on magic. But now, magic is dying. Andy and Anna Echowood had pretty ordinary lives. Highschool, part time jobs, parties, friends, video games and homework. Nothing out of the norm, they were just teenagers. Then their aunt was kidnapped. Now they have new things to deal with. Magical amulets, handsome princes, fancy balls, fantastical worlds and new found powers. It all seems great! Well, except for the betrayal, the lies, the secrets, the people hunting them down and the fact that their aunt is still missing. Together they have to become stronger if they're to stand up against the forces rising up against them. Not everyone is who they appear to be in this contemporary fantasy novel. Will the twins find their aunt? Will they ever return home?
