Ethilir, eldest of the kingdoms of men, ruled by the righteous bringers of light and life to the East, has endured since the Revealing as a force of order and civilization. The star of its capital, Sarom, however is now troubled. Oracles hint that the sacred gift that burns in the blood of those chosen to sit upon the Sunlit Throne no longer touches that artifact. Something is not as it should be as forces move in the shadows of a city that boasts such brilliant lights.

Marred and exiled from her homeland, Vassa Ithrennyn is used to solitary wandering. Her mask hides memories as much as marks and her hidden heritage spells danger for all who approach. However isolated she might prefer to be, however, a simple rescue in the Sea of Sand pulls her into a web of danger spun by those with designs on the power of the Sunlit Throne. Protecting the young fire-speaker she saved is a task more dangerous than she could have ever expected, but cunning and gifted with ancient magic, perhaps she can save Seben from them...and herself.

Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1] by Chryiss_Rose
12 parts Complete
Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world. Vivid imagery and deep characterization. Quirky magic system with mysterious elements and history. An original spin on the classic portal fantasy/isekai/waking up in another world interweaved with a science fiction twist. Scattered allusions and easter eggs. Builds expectations of future events to then defy that prediction. Slow-burn romance and complex, realistic relationships. Seriousness with a dash of humor.

SEVEN MOONS by Brooklyn_nicole3
17 parts Ongoing
Many moons ago, the world of Vahldria flourished with Fae in abundance. As time moved on, so did its inhabitants. War was inevitable. And what was once Vahldria, is now split among boundaries, and the Fae no longer exist here. After everything, their magic and peculiar portals were left behind. Each boundary is ruled by a leader of their own kind. However, Nastaeria is known for its nasty business with the Videguard, a group of assassins whose purpose is to serve their owner. Novalie Venantius was born into the Videguard, alongside her wolf, Shiloh. Deemed an assassin at a young age, she began dipping her hands into a dangerous world of theft, trade, and murder. When word crosses Nova that the King placed a bounty on her, she is determined to leave Nastaeria immediately. Her owner gives her the only option of traveling to the old Fae land of Vahldria, where she tries her best to ignore the people who reside here: the Aiken. Following the mission her owner gave her, Nova is tasked to behead an unknown rebel of Vahldria. Upon finding her target, she is met with an unlikely character and more questions than answers. When worlds collide with the Princes of Vahldria, Nova finds herself in the mix of a very dangerous plan. Unfortunately, one problem exists, the signature sign of a Fae creature: her burning blue eyes. Nova faces betrayal in the ones she trusts, friendship with unexpected people, and love, something she has never allowed herself to feel since her mother passed. She begins a new life that she never could have imagined. A life that she is torn between giving up and continuing to pursue. But how many more deaths could she handle? Did her owner deceive her? Or help her? How far would she go for answers? And the one question that she can not stop asking. Where did her ancestors, the Fae, go?

Siren Song (The Fated #1)

67 parts Complete

Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana
