Aumee is known as 'wannfota' by many in the Waystland: the bird with black feet. She is owned by Daya, a renowned witch who trains young women as her spies before selling them off as wives. In order to maintain what little freedom she has as Daya's assassin, she obeys any and all commands with no questions asked.

That changes when Aumee senses that Daya is after something important. After bargaining her freedom for the spellbook that Daya is after, Aumee is determined to find the book no matter the costs.

All she has to do is track down a spellbook, but she soon finds that her desire for freedom is further from her reach than she had ever thought. Forced to work with Daya's cursed informant, Fal, Aumee must bargain with a set of twins who own the book in order to fulfill her end of the deal.

*** Amazing cover done by @saintelysian ! Check her out!!***

The Sky Beneath Our Feet by fun-history
9 parts Ongoing
In a realm where islands drift in the sky and the sea below is a forbidden abyss, the only thing more dangerous than the fall is the arrival of a new world. For generations, the people of the Kite Islands have lived in harmony with the wind and the living lands they call home. Leilani, a gifted tufuga who communes with the spirit-song of her island, is her people's anchor to the ancient ways. But when a cataclysmic storm, the Matagi, threatens to shatter her world, she makes a desperate bargain with a forgotten power, sacrificing the one thing a spirit-talker cannot live without: her voice. Her silence is only the beginning of the calamity. A ship of iron and sail, bearing men from the world below, breaches the sky and crashes onto her shores. These "Outlanders" are survivors of a different kind-men with strange technologies, a rigid faith that sees magic as darkness, and maps that seek to conquer and own. Among them is Elias Voss, a guilt-ridden cartographer whose unique compass points not north, but toward his deepest fears. Forced into a fragile alliance against the island's wrath, a looming celestial threat, and an ancient abyssal god stirring in the depths, the islanders and the newcomers must navigate a chasm of mistrust. Leilani must find a new way to lead without her voice. A young zealot, Tama, must question the very foundations of his faith. And Elias must decide if the charts he makes will lead to redemption or the ruin of a world he never knew existed. From Fun History, The Sky Beneath Our Feet is a breathtaking work of historical fantasy that combines the rich, anthropological world-building of Ursula K. Le Guin with the epic adventure and cultural stakes of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It is a powerful and imaginative tale about colonialism, resilience, and the clash between ancient magic and relentless ambition. When two worlds collide, who pays the price for survival? And what new histories will be written in the sky?

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

*Book One of The Accursed Chronicles* August was a man from a normal world, living a mundane life until one night everything changed, and he was sent spiraling into a world stuck forever in winter, full of magic, creatures, and a curse that has grip over the land, a curse known as the Vale. *** August has been plunged straight into the claws of a life polar opposite of the one he had been living. After stumbling into the hands of Gloom, a leader of The Remnant, August is bound to Gloom's side and is pulled helplessly into the turmoil of Laelmos. August wishes he could return home, but his purpose in Laelmos is much bigger than he first thought as he discovers he has been lied to his entire life. August is left to wonder whether his life will ever be normal again or if he will have to embrace his new reality that threatens to destroy him and those around him.
