Darkness & Light: Book 1: Shatter Our Fates [COMPLETED] by RavenMoonspark

In this epic story, you'll meet dangerous dragons, vicious villains, and hellishly helpful heroes. Several of the characters in this story will be both funny and interesting, and depressed and withdrawn. But not all is as it seems with this story. Hayley and Tiber are creations of me and my cousin, and we have made up all these characters. But most of the characters are ones I've made myself. In this story, Hayley is a young girl with chronic pain and she must walk with a cane to help her balance. Her brother is her only light in her life, because her mother helps her bullies taunt and hurt her. But one day, when Hayley is hurt bad by a group of people, she comes into contact with a mysterious entity calling herself Aldrea. And Aldrea is powerful, powerful enough to forever change Hayley's and Tiber's lives. Hayley, Tiber, and their new friends will travel all over their world of Espynn. They will find many allies and many foes, but in the end, it is what they do together that may save - or doom - their world. So, what will happen when demonic begins begin to ascend into Espynn, and Hayley and Tiber must make the hardest choices they've ever made in their lives? Will they be able to save their world? Or will they fail?

The Serpent and the Unicorn: Books I and II by SusanSkylark

What if the Myth were real and everything else mattered not? What if your very soul hung in the balance? Enter a land where the Myth is real, but many have forgotten or scorn the Truth and those who fight to uphold it. The adventure is about to begin, for even those who fight for justice are about to rediscover why. This story is not just another tale of an orphan who finds a magic sword, discovers a forgotten lineage, finds a few friends, and conquers an overwhelming evil. This is a story that crosses a continent, transcends time, plunges deep into the very soul of man, and explores all the vastness and intricacies of life. It is a story of good and evil, love and war, truth and absurdity, courage and faith, hope and despair, humor and adventure, and everything that moves the human soul. Whether viewed as Truth or Myth, it is a tale to make one think and a story full of adventure, intrigue, love, sorrow, hope, and humor: much like this dance we call life. It is a fairy story in that it involves unicorns, dragons, and other uncommon beasts and certain aspects of magic, but it is also a human story that explores the questions, doubts, fears, and triumphs common to the hearts of men. The Brethren are an ancient brotherhood entrusted with preserving and disseminating knowledge, truth, and justice since time began; they have survived indifference, hostility, disaster, war, plague, and obscurity but ever they persevere in their age-old duties. Of late, they have fallen into obscurity due to over-caution and the forgetfulness of the people they serve. A strange encounter rouses them from their secrecy and sends one of their most talented agents into the heart of a sworn enemy only to unveil an even older and more dangerous foe.

The Daughters of Autumn by leithne

One wise and cunning storyteller once said: the mystery of the world consists in the fact that in every person exists a second person, like a twin. But what would happen if this one, the second, gained the flesh? And what would you do after meeting your twin? .. This is a story about two girls who lived in different worlds, but were inseparable. Who could not touch each other in any way, but whose fate, so different, weaved into one. Alice grows in an affectionate and happy Amber city, where you can always hear children's laughter on the streets. She leads a sleepy, measured life of a princess, wears corsets and ribbons in her hair, tries to be polite and obedient. The world of Kira is torn by a war into shreds, filled with bloodthirsty ghosts and dark magic. In this crazy world, she learns to kill, hide and survive. Once they are destined to meet each other's eyes in a mirror reflection, change places and, of course, to accomplish a common feat that will forever change both the fate of the two worlds and their own.

The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark

A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.

Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)
