"We believe that when you die the first thing you hear is Nuali's song. And it is by this song that the Goddess of Night will lead you from this earth to the resting place, but only if you sing with her." Alva whispers. 
"That doesn't seem fair, what if you don't know the words?" Ordell replies. 
"There is a lot in this world that is unfair, Princeling... more than you can understand." 
                            ___________

For millennia, the Noccaweĭ people have lived peacefully on the outskirts of society, misunderstood but for the most part, tolerated. It was not until The Great War ended near one hundred years ago, that misunderstanding became fear, and tolerance became hatred. 
As the nomadic tribe face total annihilation by the powers that be, Alva and her brother Ardaen cannot stand by as their family and way of life is destroyed. 
Prince Ordell knows how to hide... he's done so for years...deep within the stacks of the royal library, his loyal guard and closest friend Callen by his side. While the rest of the world lives in the present, the prince collects knowledge long forgotten and suppressed.
In this new world of hate and destruction, those who lead on either side have forgotten what created such bitterness and refuse their children their right to history. So the young must seek the dead for answers removed from time and mind. 

For the dead sing true.

Is it too late to say Sorry? - 1 ✓ by iambellissima_nishaz

"The fuck you are leaving me." He snapped and growled at his mate. She was calm as she was ever be regardless of his snapping. She sighed and turned around to leave without saying something to him because it was worthless. There was no point in talking and especially to him. He grabbed her arm before she put one step. "Where do you think you are going Ara?" He growled so loudly as everyone shuddered watching their interaction. She quickly remove his hand as anger rolling off of her in waves. "Don't. Touch. Me. So you think I will live here and watch you mate and breed that female." She snapped at him. "She meant nothing Ara." He said after a minute. She laughed, literally laughed but without any humor. "That's why you were fucking her in your office just a minutes before, don't you?" "It was a mistake." He tried to reason with her. "But in your case mistakes happened in more than one time. And they said mistakes happened only one time." She said sarcastically. "I don't need her. I need you." He said again desperately. "Lies. All lies coming from your mouth. I feel disgusted just by looking at you, let alone talking to you. And you said you need me? Ha. Very funny. You don't need me and I sure as hell don't need you. This female behind your back is more enough than me. Breed her, mark her or fuck her. I DON'T FUCKING CARE." "I am sorry. I am really fucking sorry." He said brokenly as kneeling on the ground. A small laugh escaped from her lips. "Isn't it too late for that mate?" And she left just like that while single tear rolled down her cheeks. He had made mistakes. Mistakes that will cost him everything. He knew he had lost her and this time completely. She was broken. Again. He did break her, repair her just to break her again leaving a broken shattered woman but strong willed. ---------------------------------------------------- The cruel, sadistic Rogue Alpha and his caring, lovable Witch mate. Will it be too late for him to say sorry?

THE RED HUNTER by lilunes

The Nionian Kingdom had known only war, destruction and loss for over a decade, and Oryan did not escape that fate. Sent to Vandraad to become a Hunter and, ultimately, protect the Kingdom, Oryan learnt the truth of that night eleven years ago, and began her journey of revenge, while mourning. This is a story of war and monsters, of love as well as hate, and, above all, of how one can easily lose themselves in revenge and broken heart. --- "I suppose I couldn't expect you to comprehend, let alone approve. You have no idea what it is like to spend your entire f*cking life consumed by this immense suppressed rage growing inside, to have your parents taken away from you, to watch them fade in front of you, and have no ability whatsoever to help them. That night has haunted me for eleven f*cking years, during which I could do nothing to avenge them." - Oryan. --- NOTE 1: Use of strong language NOTE 2: english is NOT my first language. So, naturally, there are some mistakes. Feel free to point them out (nicely!) so I can correct them!

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2) by _Hiraeth_Author_

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

Rage and Rebellion (Histories of Havenhearth) by ReynoldsAJ

Cerys Woodstock, travelling outside of Tainland for the first time in her life, craves adventure and excitement. Tainish Legate Eupheme hosts elaborate parties as a guise to obtain valuable information about the agendas of other lands, to further her own political interests. Yarazhenya, a half Cassioni, half Petrovian candle maker with a penchance for day drinking, is thrilled when her niece arrives to learn about her business in Chevelles. Callira Evarrlie, Tainish spiritualist, linguist, and a close friend of the chancellor of Chevelles, wants to share her knowledge of language and culture with the world. Nobody knows what Witwatersrander Floren Cheshiring does or why he is in Cassion. These are some of the civilian foreigners in the small city of Chevelles, there to teach, to sell, to build, to travel or for other reasons. But their presence raises suspicions among native Cassioni, wary of their intentions and technology. And, as xenophobia increases, so too do acts of violence. Enter Wynemere Brackenridge, fresh from the green countryside of Elsa, new recruit in the marine protectorate forces, a pawn in the fight for Tainish expansion, who wonders if she'll be able to handle the challenges her new life is bringing her. And Gwinael Snowberry, whose her first posting as combattant involves long treks over the Cassioni mountains, skirmishes with angry locals, and attempts to reign in her daydreaming so she can follow orders. Will a mutual understanding across cultures be achieved or will tragedy befall natives and foreigners alike? It is the land of Cassion itself which has the answer, as well as it's own lessons to teach them all. After all, as the Cassioni saying goes: "We have much to learn." (Dear potential reader: This is a medievalesque military low fantasy, with little to no supernatural elements: would love to get some feedback :))

Keep An Open Mind {Lynn Gunn} by Run-Dont-Walk

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.

SAVE ME FROM THE DARKNESS by Nona01920

I'M JUST WRITING BECAUSE I'M BORED😴😂🤣, SO HERE IT GOES. Soon vampires and werewolf had to rule the world and had to do they're revenge because of us humans. in 1820 all of the secrets vampires held had been exposed, humans found out the real truth about those creatures and had to make a plan on how to get rid of them immediately, although vampires did nothing to them, they only wanted them gone because they might hurt our kind by drinking our blood. humans even killed the king and queen and that's when vampires had to stop fighting. soon the war ended in 1821 and humans won the battle, vampires or were wolfs were never seen or found again. but that was only for a while. in 1838 vampires and were wolfs came back and they were strong and powerful making humans run away from them, they didn't stop the war... they still continued when Lilly Ludmila was born in 1999, her parents held her close not wanting to loose her on any circumstances. when Lilly was 6, her father taught her how to fight and how to grab a gun from a suspect, her father MARCUS was a vampire haunter (the reason why I said WAS a vampire haunter simply because they were so much vampires and were wolfs, so he quit because he couldn't fight them all and his haunters and friends got killed and he even couldn't find his brother RODNEY) ENJOY😏😏😏😏😏

Blind Instincts by _Serza

*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary.

It is meant to shine light on those who differ from the majority; conquering, and overcoming those who lessen them for what makes them special. ~ Word count at completion date: 33,915 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
