A daughter of the Evlen High Council taken.

A war brewing between the elves reeling their loss, and the humes denying their involvement.

Greed is a monster none can kill.

Dragon Slayer was not the name given to him, but the one he earned. Xercsies was a Slayer unique among his kind, for in his left eye was the eye of a dragon. It was this trait that drew in clients of high profile for him and his Vanguard.

For everyone knew the power of a dragon could slay any beast.

When one of the daughters of the elven high council is taken, the blame is pointed to him as a hume. Tensions between the two races begin to grow while Xercsies is betrayed by his Vanguard, the only one he considered his friend.

Now, he finds himself at the doorstep of a war between two nations seeking to clear his name, and only he knows the truth.

The Abused is The Abuser in Another World by AkumaNoir062893

In a world where demons, dragons, and forgotten gods vie for dominance, Noir-a former junk collector thrust into a realm beyond his understanding-finds himself at the center of a dark, unfolding mystery. Awakened in a new body after a brutal betrayal, Noir is driven by a singular desire for revenge against those who wronged him. But the rules of this world are unlike anything he's ever known, and he quickly realizes he's caught in a deadly game with no guide, no allies, and powers he can barely comprehend. Bound by an uneasy alliance with Asmodeus, a frustrated demon prince, and Takir, a cunning dragon spirit, Noir must navigate a treacherous landscape filled with ancient magic, powerful weapons, and shifting alliances. As he gains new abilities and confronts the dangers lurking in every shadow, he wields "The Grimreaper," a weapon feared even by gods-a hungry blade that craves the essence of its victims to grow stronger. With two powerful entities trapped in his mind and a mysterious dashboard visible only to him, Noir must learn to master the arcane forces at his disposal or risk being consumed by them. As the binding contracts tighten and new threats emerge, Noir's journey is one of survival, discovery, and the relentless pursuit of vengeance-where every step forward could lead to unimaginable power or utter annihilation. In a world where every choice is a gamble, can Noir find his way to revenge, or will he become just another pawn in a game played by forces far beyond his understanding?

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1 by marcellaiswriting

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.

Volume 1 of the "Age of Solace" series. (Part 1 of 4). A serious dark-fantasy story. Descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes (Rated M, no lemons present). Peace. Conflict. War. Bloodshed. This is the way of things, and this is what happened between the dragons and mankind. Once they were allies. Man was ever growing and learning, while dragons were their guardians, watching over them. But mankind was greedy, and from that greed bred betrayal towards their great allies. In times long ago, dragon and man worked together to rid their realms of the demonic presence that once invaded their lands. Together, they defeated that enemy. But now, dragons are near extinct and the demonic menace has returned. There are humans that possess abilities that allow them to fight back, but it is not enough. Such humans have banded together, in a group called Corvin's blades. They hope to be able to defeat their enemy without the aid of dragons this time... but there is more to all of this than anyone understands. This story follows multiple youthful characters as they not only aid in the fight against the demonic threat, but learn and grow as they discover more about the lands they live in and of themselves. Views on dragons are changing, demons and spirits are invading, and two individuals are in the center of everything that is happening. Was it fate and destiny... or choice and coincidence? *Rated M for descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes* * Chapters to be updated* *Cover art was made by myself.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.
