Grand-commander Morath is dead, and the fragile peace between the Order of the Plains and their former allies in the northern mountains  is close to breaking. The knights of Klinberg, riders of the madriel pride, are preparing themselves for the High-tourney, where the new Command of their Order will be decided, and with it, the future of hostilities. 

But this year the contest for the Orders' leadership will not be settled in the jousting ring. Four children will play a part in its outcome.
Grifford and Tahlia Layne; brutish son and wayward daughter of the Order's finest Pride-commander, Maddock Jonas, a farm-boy who has heard his future told by a voice from the vault-weed, and Dakskansia, an Engineer's daughter, imbued with strength and intellect but not with courage.

Their actions will set them on a course that will shape both the future and the past, but before they can do that, they must overcome their enmity towards one another.All Rights Reserved

Returned, Volume 1: The Thread Beyond The Transpired Sun [READ DESCRIPTIONS] by danialpoststories

A group of 5 growing up in different parts of the world living with different conditions crossed paths when doing their own stuff. What do they seek? They fought dragons, demons with their newly found ability upon rediscovery of what's lost in time. In the advanced world they lived in, what else is there to discover? Love? Hatred? Power? The time has come to finalise the final work. As time passes, we grow old. As time dissolves, the world fades. Updates: The whole chapter three is out, and remember to stay tuned for the next chapter. This story will be released part by part. Each chapter, on average, will have 3 or more parts. I will not be releasing whole chapters in one part because it would be easier for me to refer to a page from a chapter rather than a whole chunk, and also, due to each chapter being lengthy if all parts were combined into one. Changes: After Chapter 1 and onwards, parts will have personal titles.

The Unpocalypse Series - Volume 1 by chris_davies_author

Dark beings quietly drive the world toward one of many hellish, apocalyptic outcomes. There are, however, still a few possibilities where peace and goodness can prevail. "The Machine", the vast, godlike intelligence behind reality, spins and calculates, and the few remaining paths to the UNpocalypse all involve four childhood friends acting together as a catalyst for good. Can their childhood bonds survive the tests of time and the hardships of adulthood? How can four kids from a poor neighborhood fight against a world of "hidden monsters"? In this steampunky, machine-age fantasy epic, explore New Anglia, a gritty, powerful nation moving into an age of discovery, but on the cusp of self-destruction. It is a place of illusion, filled with demons disguised as leaders, heroes disguised as the weak, reality-wielders, cross-dimensional visitors, machine-whisperers, and dream-assassins. New Anglia is a place where the stains of past sins are piled into skins and walk the land in human form, and where normal, good-hearted people can still make a difference.

The Lies We Hold in Our Hearts by NarniaChen

Kathleen is so far, and yet so close to her home. Kathleen's secret is out and miraculously, she isn't dead. Xaden Riorson hasn't killed her, but he isn't the biggest threat to her life. Not anymore. Her past chases her every move and shadows follow her every footstep. Her newly-discovered signet might be able to get her the revenge she wants, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. As she uncovers the truth of the past, she lies to herself about the present. She's lost, tangled, and scared. Her dragon isn't exactly a big help. This is the second "book" to The Secrets We Hide from the Dark. This story is written in first person and present tense. A fanfiction based on Rebecca Yarros's novel and series Fourth Wing/Iron Flame from the Empyrean series. Most characters and the world are by Rebecca Yarros, but a couple of characters are created by me. It is recommended that you read Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm before reading this, but this may also be read without reading those books. Some theories might be incorrect and not align with the Empyrean Series. Nevertheless, enjoy! Also available on AO3(Archive of Our Own)
