Walking the line between grimdark and epic fantasy, this story follows a mercenary named Durmhain, who is pledged to the honor god Akreus. The land has been ravaged by a generations-long war between Elmiar and Nithia, a conflict which has extended out into the world and threatens to engulf the world in carnage. Caught during a covert operation intended to prevent the further possibility of war, Durmhain is thrown in jail and tortured into revealing the location of his benefactors, the Elmiari. Bound by honor, he must escape and warn the  Elmiari that war is imminent. But to do so, he must ally himself with that which the Nithians draw their power from, and must sacrifice more than his life to see a broken oath fulfilled.All Rights Reserved

Echoes Of Equilibrium: War Of The Worlds by BenjacksonTroy

In a world where balance is the key to survival, a centuries-long war between humans and demons threatens to plunge the human world into irreversible chaos. For millennia, the rift between the two races has deepened, fueled by ancient hatred and bloodshed. But one demon dares to defy his lineage. Leor, prince of the demon realms of Valek'thar and Zaron, is determined to end the cycle of destruction. Haunted by the legacy of his father, the ruthless Primordial Demon King Aamon, Leor seeks redemption-not just for himself, but for all demonkind. Guided by a relentless sense of duty, Leor forms an uneasy alliance with two elite demon hunters-Shania and Seraphina-and a mysterious god who brings them together. Together, the trio fight to forge peace between their worlds. But as tensions simmer, a far greater threat rises: the Devourer, a chaos-born orb with the power to consume the life-force of entire realms. As they traverse breathtaking and perilous landscapes, the group encounters ancient beings, monstrosities with glowing eyes, and a demon named Azarath, whose neutrality seems odd. The hunters wrestle with their own morality as enemies become allies, and loyalties are tested. When a forgotten god-one who defied existence itself-emerges as the true architect of the chaos, Leor and his allies must race against time to stop a force that threatens not only the mortal realms but the very fabric of all reality. In a world teetering on the edge, love, sacrifice, and the strength of unlikely bonds will determine the fate of all. To protect the balance, they must confront the darkness-both around them and within.

Bound by Flame and Shadow by er782568

Amara's past is a blur, her memories shattered by fire and blood. Rescued from the dungeons of Malrathis, the demon realm, she is thrust into a world where her powers-wild, uncontrollable, and tied to an ancient race-are both a blessing and a curse. In a world torn by war, Amara, is caught between two warring realms. When a rescue mission brings her out of the hands of the demons, she is thrust into a new life with the humans. But there are secrets hidden within her past-secrets that tie her to the fae and to a massacre that changed the course of history. As Amara trains to control her powers and find her place in this new world, her path intertwines with Calder, a determined soldier, and Kaelith, the enigmatic demon prince. Their connection is complicated, their intentions unclear, but one thing is certain: Amara's future is bound to them both. As she grows stronger, the lines between allies and enemies blur, and she must decide who she can trust, and who might betray her. But the question remains: can she trust those who've offered her sanctuary-or is there a darker fate waiting for her?

The War of Six Crowns: The Heir's Choice by MishaGerrick

After discovering her parents had kept a whole world secret, Callan races to discover her past. Not easy to do with an increasingly agitated entity inhabiting her soul. Going to her long-lost elvish roots should answer all her questions. Instead, she ends up in the middle of a nightmare. The elves are on the verge of an apocalyptic war. Their enemy, King Aurek of Icaimerith, will only be appeased if Callan marries his heir. It's either her life getting messed up, or an entire country's lives lost. Simple enough, right? Wrong. Because when the entity wants the elves blotted out of existence, saving them gets taken to a whole new level of complicated.

Warlords by Safa-935

In a fractured land teetering on the edge of chaos, three unlikely fates are destined to intertwine. An elven warrior, driven by duty and wielding a spear with deadly precision. An orc leader, haunted by the death of his brother and a legacy of bloodshed. A betrayed prince, stripped of his crown and forced to flee, seeking vengeance and redemption. Their journeys converge as tensions rise across the land, and the threat of war looms on the horizon. Ancient rivalries resurface, and the balance of power grows ever more fragile. Each carries their own burdens, their own vendettas, but in a world where trust is scarce and enemies lurk in every shadow, alliances are forged in blood and fire. This is a tale of betrayal, vengeance, and redemption-a fantasy epic where survival demands sacrifice, and power comes at a cost.

Sons of Ironstorm - Book 1: Griffon's Rise by bloodsword

Welcome to the twin worlds of Ramnor and Rimnor: lush, beautiful, and magical. They are also the center of the Maker's universe, the cornerstone on which all of Creation is built. If one, or both are destroyed, then Creation itself will begin to unravel. And destruction of those worlds is the goal of the Lords of the Abyss, masters of the shadows that haunt the edges of Reality. To that end, they long ago gathered a vast army of demonspawn and made their war on Reality, defeated at the last possible moment by an alliance of mortal races and by the hand of the Creator themselves. Despite their defeat, the Lords have not given up trying to destroy all of Reality. And now, tens of thousands of years after their initial defeat, they once again threaten to destroy everything that ever was. Except this time even fewer will stand against them. And they themselves don't even know who they are, and what they are fated to do. Can this meager handful discover their destiny before it's too late and all of Reality dies in demon fire? Join heroes from the Humans, the Elves, the centaur-like Quada, the cat-like Muraan, and the fish-like Picea as they learn of their fates and struggle against the vanguard of evil that threatens to wash them away in the first book of the Sons of Ironstorm Chronicles, 'Griffon's Rise'. I hope you enjoy.
