The kingdom of Oscensi has a dark secret. Buried deep beneath their castle's chambers is a single prison cell. And within is a boy with destruction at his fingertips.

His only company lies with the black flames he conjures, along with the mysterious girl whose visits provide a rare spark of light in his lonely darkness. Until the day the castle falls, and he is gifted his first taste of freedom.

Yet this world does not welcome a boy with the talents of a monster. Fighting to both contain his malicious power and keep his life, he finds himself running, trapped by dangers from all sides.

After all, how can he trust anyone when he can barely trust himself?

The Sister of Lust by Naemmen93

"Imagine, if you will, a creature who's never felt fear before and you were given the task to inform it of the concept. How would you go about doing it? Would you try to describe it, the concept of terror, or absolute horror? Would you give it an example? Or would you show it what to fear and describe how one might react? Remember, one man's nightmare is another man's dream. How then would you show, teach, or give someone a taste of what fear is, when fear and lust are twins from the same worldly womb?" Fear clutches its claws around us differently. Some representations may have spindly legs prickling our skin. Others will have huge monstrous frames giving you the sense of helplessness and futility standing in its shadow. Others are more formless and unknown, sowing doubt and untruths like a farmer harvesting lies. Erik, sadly, finds himself in a position where he can only wish for such a feeling. Be it fear, love, joy or anger. And where Erik searches for something he has lost, Sarah searches for something she has always had, but is somehow difficult to reach. And as Sarah tries to leave her fears behind her a little four-legged creature is introduced to the concept of fear for the very first time.

Fatal Bonds by ayiannabarnes

Hopelessly, a young boy wanders through the desolate streets of Eldorium's slums, belonging to nowhere but the dust. He has no recollection of anything - only that he finds himself drawing closer to the preeminent palace each day. Eldorium is a kingdom of conquered riches, clashing steel and an irrefutable rank of who is ontop and who is below the pyramid. The sand has seen an overflowing amount of bloodshed over all the years this formidable empire has stood. It all means nothing to him, until he stumbles upon a boy cornered into an alley of the gilded markets. One thing he discovers about himself is his ability to fight, which lands him on his knees before the throne, where the boy he aided turns out to be the prince. The prince pleads for mercy upon his new friend, for a commoner mingling with a royalty is forbidden, especially a commoner with no records of existence - ever. The king grants him training to become the prince's personal assassin; a deadly shadow for a powerful sun. They face the world together. Everyday is spent sweating blood or drawing it from the battles they dive into sword-first, falling even the most impenetrable kingdoms side by side. However, not even the desert can bury the dark secrets of Eldorium, nor can it whisper warnings of the daunting times to come. And the Gods... well, they see everything. And their rage grows, with Eldorium at the center of it.

The Duns by magicmonster1000

READY TO READ <3 "...It was as if a spirit had taken control of my body. I was lifted into the air, my arms widespread, my head automatically tilted back. There was a bright, eye-blinding light surrounding me. I could hear the voice now. It said my name. And then, it stopped. Oh no. No, no, no! It was true. It is true. And the voice, as if it had been reading my mind, announced to the impatient audience: "Peter O'Connor. Exceptional fighting skills; Sharp hearing; No need to breathe; Element: Fire." On turning seventeen, Peter O'Connor, forced by his step-father, swears his loyalty to Oi Alloi, a secret society for men with powers and in the span of a single second is forced to admit that there lays a sleeping dragon hidden behind this already shocking community- a dragon who's silent slumber has lasted a year too long. To add on to it, an old enmity suddenly surfaces, a girl supposedly filled with love turns out to be filled with secrets, and of course, there's the loyal friend, who's not so loyal anymore. Cursed or not, these powers can either break him, or make him- save him, or destroy him- and the choice is only his to make... Best Ranking: #4 in Secret Societies

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
