As readers, we all feel like books are magic. But in Alia's world, they really are-or The Book is, at least. They say it was a gift from the gods, the source of the magic that runs through Beldara and a way to document the amazing adventures of the Heroes. Alia has always been fascinated by the Book and its wonderful stories, but her gender and birth mean she can never join the priesthood and tend to the storytelling magic.

But when something goes wrong in the latest chapter of the Story, only Alia's ability for reading has a chance at unraveling the mystery. She'll have to fight her way against great odds--first against the willpower of her elders and then against the terrors of the outside world--if there's to be any chance at success. Good thing she has a few Heroes at her side... Or is it?

Out of Time by theeternalscribe

Danielle Carpenter has lived a life some might call boring, but she'd always loved language, and however much her parents might say specializing in Old English is a useless waste of life, it was her passion. But things are about to change. A seemingly harmless pastime leaves her life in shambles; with all she had ever held dear gone, her life is boiled down to just struggling to stay alive. When, months later, she is rescued, it isn't to return to the life she once knew, but to one she's wholly unprepared for. She scrambles for a grasp on things as legend and reality blend. Should she let the legend play out to its foregone conclusion? Or should she try for a happily ever after for all, and the consequences be damned... *This is my 2016 NaNoWriMo project, so enjoy and as always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.*

The Way of All Flesh by micmaelstrom

After her village is destroyed by a powerful daemon, young Naomi sets off on a journey of revenge. Along the way, she meets and befriends fellow travelers, all of whom hide a great darkness in their hearts. Together the group ventures through the kingdom of Cantien and grow slowly closer together and closer to their goal. Accomplishing the impossible, killing a daemon. This story was written for Nanowrimo 2021. It has not been edited nor beta read therefore it is most likely filled with grammar and spelling mistakes, my apologies in advance. This story is also incomplete and most likely will never be completed since I lost the document that had the plot outline on it. But if someone really wants me to finish it I will, I just don't have the time right now. The second half of this story was written after I was in a bus crash and had whiplash so... be nice

WORD COUNT: roughly 12100 notes: 1. This is kinda an old draft. It will be lightly edited, but only a one-time readthrough. if you notice a mistake, please tell me. I will reply with 'fixed' to notify anyone who sees the comment at a later date that it is no longer there. 2. Originally a NanoWriMo project, I pretty much wrote the entire thing in one Sunday afternoon... so, yeah. horrible pacing. 3. I sucked at writing battles.... a few of those happen. 4. Adrian and Gale were originally different characters. If you see the name Gale anywhere, know that's because I was editing at times I shouldn't have been conscious, let alone editing.

Ancilla: Serialized Edition by SeraDrake

She had it all - riches, a college scholarship, a girlfriend - until her conservative, hyper-religious parents found out about the girlfriend and made her choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That was the end of her academic career. Three years later: She meets a shy public reference librarian in a bookstore. He's been waiting his whole life for her. Meanwhile, she's starting her whole life over. What ensues between the two neurodivergent lovers is magic. Given that he's about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, that's only to be expected. But at what cost? The mysterious older man is all she could ever have wished for, but she may need to choose between her developing identity and the most profound love she has ever known. An awkward bookworm searching for her inner strength A magus (and closet vampire) who also happens to be a sexual dominant An age gap, a forbidden romance, and a quest for gnosis ════════════════════════════════════ This edition of Ancilla has been serialized for greater ease of smartphone use. Like the original edition, which was added to Wattpad After Dark's BDSM booklist on May 10, 2024, it contains mature and explicit material. Reader discretion is advised. Readers who are stumbling on this novel in search of "spice" will find it, and it is hotter than a ghost pepper - however, be advised that compared to other books of this nature, Ancilla has a very slow burn, and there is more to the plot than just "spice." Like all my other books, this novel is self-illustrated. Some of my art incorporates snipped pieces of AI-generated images that I rendered in Canva Pro. The other layers of my illustrations use free stock images, photographs taken by me or my husband, and public-domain fine art.

With the great Aurean war and Aziel Aro committing perpetual genocide, they're desperate to save their race.
