In the land of Alcazar there lives a boy who does not know of fear. One might think it strange, seemingly impossible, that he could not have known it all his life. Do not babies wail at sudden loud noises? Do not young children fear that monsters lurk in the dark? Do not grown men tremble in their boots at the sight of a dragon? Certainly, they do, but not Thurlow. His father says he has the heart of a lion.

But Thurlow sees it as more a curse than a blessing. He is desperate to find answers, and spends every waking moment searching for clues. What would it take to make him afraid? What would that even feel like?

When a magician begins wreaking havoc in town, Thurlow is inspired to finally undertake a quest to find fear, something he has long dreamed of doing. But as he looks for fear, Thurlow is unwittingly entangled in a dangerous plot. He must learn how to navigate deadly schemes and survive magical dangers, and quickly.All Rights Reserved

Paragon - Book I by azimodo

*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.

Charles King, Lonely hope, part 1. by WilliamMagill

Once my mum held unrivaled fame and power as a guild member, commanding respect across the world. Then, unexpectedly, my parents left London for the tranquil beauty of the Lake District. Now, on the cusp of my 13th birthday, we are returning to London, to the heart of my parents' former guild. This means I will attend the prestigious school they once graced. But beyond this, I am on the brink of a pivotal event - a Reveal Day. At 13, we undergo a ceremony where our elemental magic is unveiled, determining our destiny, education, and path in life. Yet, life in the countryside is no idyllic retreat. It harbors peril, with monstrous creatures and dangerous animals lurking, some with bounties on their heads, requiring the intervention of guilds to eliminate them. P.s I asked the A. to create my book cover how cool does that look 😁

DELWYN: Throne of Thorns by NickStevenson

Varfaún is on the brink of war. The once-great kingdom now rots under the rule of King Arrand Galborn, a tyrant whose hunger for power has twisted the land and its people. His armies march under a banner of blood, and in the blackened depths beneath his fortress, something far more sinister stirs. Delwyn Aldsund was once Galborn's sworn bodyguard-until she betrayed him. Sentenced to death, she awaited the executioner's blade, only to be rescued at the last moment by a mysterious cloaked elf, Vaelor. Now hunted by the king's Black Hounds, she flees across the fractured realm, burdened by questions without answers. Why did Vaelor save her? And what horrifying truth lies at the heart of Galborn's growing power? With the rebellion rising and dark forces creeping into the world, Delwyn and her unlikely allies must make a desperate journey to Ember Peaks, the last bastion of hope. But what awaits them is beyond anything she imagined-a hidden stronghold, a council of leaders who know more about her past than she does... and a weapon of legend slumbering beneath the mountain. The war for Varfaún has only begun.

Of Spellbooks and Thieves | SAMPLE by TheConfusedTurtle

Magic is a powerful yet fleeting thing. Those blessed with its presence are given a choice: to do good for their fellow man or to be corrupted. Tobias has neither magic nor the pressure of its power and has lived a peaceful, secluded life because of this. That is, before he stumbles across the key to power: a spellbook. Desperate to unlock its secrets, he accepts it as the promise of something greater. Until the day a thief snatches the book out from under him. In an effort to get it back, Tobias is thrust out into the dangerous world beyond the comfort of his home. Dragons, secrets, and wild magic lurk around every corner he turns, and he has no hope of catching the thief on his own. In order to reclaim his book and safely return home, Tobias must learn to adapt to the shifting world outside. But as he is joined by others who volunteer to aid him in his search for the thief, he realizes there's more to her than he thinks, and the spellbook is only the beginning.

The Exiled King | ✔ by Calagtic

Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death. Trilogical Compilation | Books 1, 2 & 3 (If the number of chapters seems daunting, just know that most of the chapters are short) [Fans of The Stormlight Archive may enjoy this book] Cover by Azanthiel
