Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.

A Child Outside of Fate by DylanTHoran

Allirial, a world ripe with magic, teeming with life, and home to some of the most powerful people that have ever existed. It's ruled by the tenuous alliance of the members of the Council. The balance of power constantly teeters on the edge as they struggle to maintain peace amongst themselves. In the far reaches of the realm a boy, Nalitor, has been experimented on since birth in secret...or so his parents hoped. Unknown to them many eyes are on them, watching their son, and soon he would be thrown in the chaos of the realm. ~~~~~~~~~ Born at an unknown date in time and placed in a magical stasis for experimentation, Nalitor awoke early from his imprisonment and has spent his whole life doing only one thing: training. Created with one purpose, to be a weapon powerful enough to bring the realms to their knees, he has gone through spell after spell, book after book, knowing nothing else but the art of magic. His only exposure to the outside world is his brief adventures his parents allow in the Border Forest. The only other person he truly interacts with: his sister, Kasi. As part of what was done to him, he's been left with the voice of an ancient and powerful magician in his mind, Retarion. Who helps guide him on his journey to power. His relationship with his parents is stretched at best, as they view him as nothing more than the weapon they seek to turn him into. Every mistake he makes is paid for in blood. He believes himself to be weak even though Retarion tells him otherwise, but even the old wizard underestimates exactly what Nalitor is capable of. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Artwork by: DayPaintStudio Warning: This book contains cussing, sexual scenes, excessive violence, and other dark topics.

The Circles of Magic (The Curse of Magic Book 1) by dragonthusiast

As a Cursed elf, one born with no magic, Edwyr has been forced to live among humans for over ten years. He doesn't mind his job of defending the town that he now lives in from beast attacks, and he gets along with most of the humans well enough, but he can never quite make the bitterness and resentment over being exiled go away. Life goes on as usual until a talented but inexperienced elf named Feyrith arrives and tells Edwyr that the High Elven Council wants him to help Feyrith on a quest. Despite his hatred towards the Council, Edwyr ends up agreeing, if only because he doubts Feyrith can survive a trip like this alone. The task is to investigate strange magical energies in a ruin a few days' travel away. Edwyr assumes that the only thing to worry about will be avoiding getting killed by the jungle wildlife, but the mission turns much more complicated when they stumble across a conspiracy that aims to change everything about the elven society. Including both of their destinies. --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words] • Book 1 - The Circles of Magic • Book 2 - The Nature of Magic • Book 3 - The Valor of Magic

By the Unshackled Flame by Claire_Talon

The road to magical affinity is a rough and unforgiving one, a path you might take only in search of power that limits a section of your reality, stealing your autonomy. The accepted wisdom is that magic was intended only for the well-to-do, the superstitious or those who engage in the morally reprehensible. Miva'yon is what society deems as a witch - an abomination of nature, law and righteous order. Witches seek magical power, but one unrestrained by the shackles of gods, kings and the essence of life. They wish for freedom, to break humanity's bonds and create their own understanding of what progress can mean. For this, they are shunned, thrown into the edges of society and often outright slain. Nevertheless, Miva'yon will not surrender her dream of a future where she doesn't have to hide her true being, and desperately pursues rumors of where those like her may live freely and safely. The difficulty lies in reaching it. Eireki was a holy knight of a benign goddess, having left her home to adhere to her beliefs of a better world, one where light and justice shine above everything. Upon meeting Miva'yon and beholding her fellow knights' prejudice, her trust was forever shattered and she found no other solution than to oppose their unjustified hatred with her whole might. For this, she was killed. Now being reawakened into a second life, an undead existence by the very woman she tried to save, she questions whether anything she's been through so far was worth it.

The Ember Within by FathimaFaheen

"I'm not sure what I want, but when I do, I'll move mountains to get it. My desires aren't tethered to anyone else; they're solely about me. Sometimes, even the most delicate things can seem dangerous but these things are too fragile to be counted. I can choose him, but this fragile choice could ruin me or my cause, and I can't afford that, even if it means the end of my life. But the sight of him takes my breath away. I've met countless men in my nineteen years, but why is he different? Why is he the one whose gaze makes my heart, Calista's heart of iron, beat? " Scarlet the elusive leader of the Rebel, has dedicated her life to overthrowing King Edward's tyrannical rule over Redelvrid. For years, she has inspired her people to fight for justice and freedom, using fear and intimidation to keep the king in check. But when she unexpectedly discovers that the person she's been looking out as her only family for years is a target of her rebellion, her world is shattered. As Scarlet navigates this moral dilemma, she is confronted with new challenges and threats. Dark magic is being used against her people, and her comrades are falling victim to mysterious deaths. Now the question that arises is will she continue to pursue her goals, knowing it means eradicating the person who has always been her anchor? Or will she abandon her cause ?

Honour Thief (The Magicians' Republic Book 1) by KJKirkwood

The Magicians' Republic of Benkrav is a divided country of silent conflicts, slow-roasting resentments and well-nursed wounds. In Kontrek, the capital, skilled thief Jack Behck and his unpredictable friend Freaky Pietr lead tolerable, unattractive lives as younger members of a minor gang. They usually stick to slummier areas and the kinds of trouble powerful people won't notice. Until Jack finds an urgent need to save his gang, and Pietr finds his freakishness eroding the few connections he has. Enter Jo'sook from Piro: a strangely-dressed, "not-noble" magic-wielder who doesn't get the basics of how Benkrav works. She has plans of her own for which she needs a skillful, compliant thief who will not ask questions; and a Benkravi commoner who will learn magic from her. Jack and Pietr normally wouldn't dream of approaching her, but they're getting desperate... And Jo'sook likes how they fit her plans so nicely. What looks like a straightforward, easily executed deal ends up nothing like what they negotiated. Their lives and their country will never go back to what they were before. **This story is recommended for ages 15+ due to mature content (criminal activity, substance abuse, references to prostitution).

It Isn't Easy Being Queen by BrittanieCharmintine
