The Empire of Atamesia is divided into nine kingdoms. Feared and despised by many,its warriors are fierce and its greatness unparalleled. Within Atamesia are the Sungtai, people marked, favored and gifted by the nine Gods of Atamesia. Princess Zahara is one such person. Born with the Mark of the Gods, Zahara is yet to manifest any of her Gifts.

As her Coming of Age looms closer, Zahara must awaken her power or  lose her Birthright and Throne to her cousin, Panesia. All the while, a deadly rebellion threatens the security  of Atamesia and a bitter enemy bids his time to strike. For in  an Empire ruled by Fire and Magick, only the powerful and the gifted can sit upon the Throne of Atamesia. 

---------------

" Why am I here? Why are you showing me this?"

He answered grimly." He's bidding his time. He craves for vengeance."

The Oracle was confused." Who is coming? What is happening?"

The Sky God shook his head slowly." There is still so much to know but so little time to tell." He caressed her cheek." Go, my Daughter and warn them."

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina
12 parts Ongoing
FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." Five friends embark on a quest to prevent an approaching cryptid-human war. Meanwhile, the human-clothed creature among them resists the hunger to ravage his companions. In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--and death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains a few depictions of blood, violence, and eldritch elements.

The Emperor's Concubine duology. Book one and two are combined. *** The Emperor's Concubine *** The world seems harsh and cruel, especially when you've been locked away, unaware of the possibility to a different kind of life than the one you're used to. Princess Celestia Avri was raised in isolation. Kept hidden away from the outside world and tormented by her own family, her world is suddenly flipped once she's taken to the ruling grand empire, the Cypheler Empire. Princess Celestia's kingdom brought to ruin, her name and title stripped, she's forcibly taken as possession. The neglected princess is made to live a far different life as a concubine for the notoriously cruel, Emperor Cabel. *** The Emperor's Concubine Two *** With the cold hearted emperor, and the once neglected princess engaged, bliss fills each day as their wedding approaches. Their days of serenity are suddenly disrupted, when a devastating incident shakes the entire empire, and causes the appearance of someone from the princess' past. A curse of destruction and chaos falls upon the land, and the fate of everyone rests on the shoulders of the emperor's fiancée. *The Emperor's Concubine 2 chapters will be titled with B.2, standing for Book 2* (Contains: Assault, abuse, violence, trauma, sex, and cursing.

The Empty Ones (Fantasy Romance) by Jinx-01
15 parts Ongoing Mature
In the realm of Quomared, which occupies the biggest part of the continent, magic is a scarce and precious resource. Fewer and fewer humans are born magic bearers throughout the last decades. Zaretha is the only daughter of the Alsayid, religios leader and grand mage of the country, the most powerful still-living sorcerer on the continent in service of the emperor. She is, however, born empty, magicless, to everyone's disappointment. An attempt at a coup d'etate takes place after her twelfth birthday, and her father is assassinated under mysterious circumstances. An orphan now, she is brought to live in The Priory of the White Stones, a home for girls from families that have or had magic-bearing members. They are schooled to be concubines or wives that a noble family can acquire for their heir, because even if magic-less, they still carry the gene and have a fifty percent chance to bear a magic-yielding child. __________________ Mentions: Please don't copy and all that. It makes no sense, just write your own story :). My stories are for mature audience. There will be violence, gore, explicit sex and other stuff not meant for kids. Proceed at your own risk. I will point out the more intense ones but questionable stuff might be all over so if you are sensitive DO NOT read. English is not my first language, feel free to point out the spelling errors, I always appreciate that. I am generally always really happy about Feedback. :)

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld. Credits for the cover go to an absolutely amazing cover artist and fellow writer Narcisse Navarre @InkSorcery. The Prophecy of Water is ONLY available on Wattpad.
