In the city of New Falcon, odd, dangerous jobs called quests are doled out in poorly lit offices for anyone who's brave (or dumb) enough to make a buck or two to take a lump or three- and now young elven sorcerous Maybelline Gwildoak is old enough to do just that! Armed with a menagerie of self taught spells (mostly ones that burn stuff) and all of her required paperwork in proper order she's ready to rock! Maybelline isn't the only one risking her butt to pay the bills though, as she's quickly paired with a group of people who will share in on all the fun danger- and each one will find out just what it means to have each other's backs until the very end...

Who will Arise?
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.Complete
✧The Earthe of the Elves✧
"Upstairs!" I hear a yell and pounding footsteps. I crawl out of the window until I'm hanging from my hands. I take a breath. I let go. ~ Living in a small town with a single mother, Mia Glenn never expected anything special to come of her life. She never thought she would go on an adventure as harrowing as the stories she read. Until one day she narrowly avoids being kidnapped, discovering in the same day a whole new universe that she is supposedly a part of. As she navigates the elven world of Earthe with the help of a particularly attractive elf boy, she learns secrets about her identity and her father's, of whom she believed had ditched her and her mom at an early age. Soon Mia discovers that peace isn't as easy as it seems, and while Earthe may be beautiful, there are dark parts that are creeping back to the light. Even in a world of perfect beings such as elves, lies can be spun as precisely as an arrow can pierce a target, and evil can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Mia is used to reading about this kind of stuff, not living it. Safe to say she finds herself in one hell of an adventure. - - TW: if you need a tw for fighting, violence, weapons, blood, death, etc. I would read with caution (I don't get into any gory details, but there are scenes w/ this) I will put tw's for the more violent scenes.Complete
Over My Rainbow
Amantha is not ready to be anything other than a wild, tomboy princess, but when tragedy strikes this unlikely royal is called upon to rule a kingdom. Scared to grow up, she runs away from responsibility and finds a new world in an adventure to find out who she really is inside. While Amantha is no princess in distress, she has much to learn about the world of magic and mystery and along with the help of a beautiful boy with a secret past, she uncovers the fairy tale world that lives right outside of her kingdom. "When I was little, I didn't believe that there was magic. I had been taught that no elves, witches, leprechauns, unicorns, harpies, trolls or dragons had ever existed. No one could turn into anything else and everything happened for a reason. Now that I'm older, I realize that even if a tutor told me those things, you can't believe everything people say. I happen to know that magic exists because I have seen it with my own eyes. If you believe that dreams come true, they will. And fairy tales aren't only in story books."Complete
Prophecy Pending
The Kingdom of Bohica "Where prophecy is a part time job, magic runs by bureaucracy, and absolutely everyone is the Chosen One... just, not today." The land and Kingdom of Bohica is a sprawling, whimsical land where magic is wildly abundant but terribly unreliable and Prophecies are over issued to the point of economic collapse. Due to a bureaucratic error centuries ago, the Department of Destiny accidentally prophesied everyone in the kingdom as the Chosen One... for something. Now, citizens receive prophecy slips in the mail like jury summons: "You are the Chosen One! You will slay the Dragon of Uncomfortable Silences. Estimated date: 3-5 business years." But Bally did mean to burn his prophecy. He meant to bake scones. Now he reluctantly sets off on a quest to file for a new prophecy, which can only be done by climbing Mount Meh, a floating mountain that's only sometimes there, depending on its mood, and confronting the ancient Plot Oracle, who is more of a playwright than a prophet. From passive-aggressive dungeons and unionizing bees to the Department of Destiny buried inside a volcano, Bally discovers that heroism isn't about being chosen -- it's about choosing yourself. With chaotic magic, questionable quests, and absurd adventures around every corner, Prophecy Pending is a delightfully meta, laugh-out-loud tale for anyone who's ever wondered if destiny might just be optional.Complete
Supernatural Taxes
Magic is sentient, amorphous, and huge pain in the ass. In her last semester of college Atalanta Fae unwillingly inherits her grandmother's magic, spell books, and magical staff.

To make matters worse eldritch beings, bothersome curses, and third-rate villains are cropping up everywhere leaving people quite disgruntled. With exams looming and her grades suffering Atalanta is inclined to agree with popular sentiment: Magic is more trouble than it's worth.Complete
Dragonfire: Celestia
In the world of Dragonfire, anything is possible. Flying, teleportation, invisibility, the ability to create a lightning storm on a whim...anything can be done. And anything can exist. Goblins, Orcs, Dragons, Dwarves, Kitsunes...there are countless races, and countless abilities. A world of fantasy in which anything is achievable. Or so it seems. After all, everything has a cost. And victory...victory is the most costing of all. Across the Black Sea, guarded by the Leviathan, there exists a large land separated into five territories. Celestia, Arvan, Ingres, Illicen, and Arumi. These five territories are named after those who control them. At least, that is how it used to be. From a distant land, the Snake Kingdom managed to bypass the Leviathan, and invade these five territories! Under the guidance of General Clauve, they crushed everyone in sight, until their only remaining opponent was Celestia. But they made a mistake, and Celestia capitalized. In a crushing defeat, the Snake Kingdom was bested after nearly 8 years of conflict. After the war ended, Albedo Aria, a soldier from Celestia, was promoted to the rank of General. But she didn't feel like a hero. Suffering from severe PTSD, this story follows her as she tries to overcome the nightmares of war, and move on from the terrible things she was forced to do. She was raised to be a soldier, and joined the war from the age of eleven. As a soldier of Celestia, she could never, and still cannot ever disobey any orders. When war calls, she must answer. Whether she is truly willing to or not. But after four years without conflict, surely things couldn't reach that state again? Or perhaps that isn't the case. After all, her dear cousin must deliver a letter to her. A letter telling her that the Snake Kingdom is on the rise in their very own land. A letter telling her that every sliver of happiness she has gained after the war ended will be lost. A letter telling her that she must return to war...Complete
