A girl with secrets
A woman in shackles to the government
A country divided by a forest
The story of Verm of Afros is a lengthy one. A girl, from who knows where, with mechanical limbs and obscure allegiances. Whom does she serve? What does she believe in? What are friends and why do they matter?
Welcome to Afros, a nation filled with ice and permafrost for 9 months out of the 12 in the year.
Where freezing and frostbite is nothing new, where starving if you fail to secure enough food during Wintertide is a common sight.
Where the mages sit on power, but are well and truly shackled to their magic.
What is the game? What is being played at? Is there truly a game?
Who are you? How long can you keep the beast, the monster inside you, when it's not really a monster, but who you are?
Follow the story of Verm of Afros, a story of self-discovery where the mask can only last for so long.All Rights Reserved

The Frostborn by ACM013

The Sequel to The Marked The Frostborn Mages were once thought to be a myth-an ancient race of rulers and warriors who wielded ice as both weapon and shield. Their kingdom vanished centuries ago, buried beneath the snow. But legends have a way of returning. Crystal has always been a warrior, deadly with her daggers and skilled in ice magic. But something within her is changing-her power surging beyond control. When an entire battlefield freezes at her feet, the truth becomes undeniable. She is the last heir of the Frostborn. The true Ice Queen. But there is little time to dwell on her awakening. Racnea, the serpent demon, may be wounded, but he is not defeated. He is waiting. Watching. And he will return. Yet he is not the only threat. The Veil Source, an ancient force long thought forgotten, has emerged from the shadows. No longer in hiding, it spreads its influence, warping the world with its dark magic. Direbeasts prowl the lands-monstrous, primal creatures twisted by the Veil's power. And lurking in the darkness, the Veil Shadows move unseen, consuming all in their path. Crystal and Kallbis must uncover the truth of her lineage before her power consumes her. The key lies in ancient ruins, forgotten archives, whispers of a past erased by time. But as they search, the Veil tightens its grip on the world. The battle for her throne is only the beginning. If the Veil's power is unleashed, not even an Ice Queen will be able to stop it.

Loki, Unraveled|| NovaVerse 2 by NovaLovesMarvel101

Loki, god of mischief, is getting ready to invade New York. There's only one thing standing in his way: the formation of the Avengers. That's when he realizes, what better way to prepare for a battle with the Earths Mightiest Heros, than to take one, and use them to derive the plans and weaknesses of the rest of the Avengers? Meet Nova, a twenty-three-year-old woman who was recruited to join the Avengers. She also happens to be the one Loki takes in the dead of night. Nova would never betray her fellow Avengers by working with their current enemy. As they get to know each other, Nova finds that perhaps it wasn't Loki's fault for her abduction. Reluctantly, they navigate a world of deception, attending extravagant balls where they must pretend to be in love, late-night training sessions that fuel the flames of their forbidden connection, and the fear of someone who could tear them apart and Asgard to the ground loom over them. Loki would never abandon the promise of a throne, and Nova is rule-abiding. Still, amidst their high-stakes charade, they can't help but feel the magnetic pull between them, drawing them deeper into a dangerous dance of secrets and desires. Let the mischief begin Updates every two weeks (Is part of my NovaVerse, check out my profile to read more. this is not a part of a series)

The Light of Miera: A Guard's Request (Book 1) by WriterMashashy

Princess Arafrey finds herself stripped of all she holds dear, alone on the frontlines. However, there is hope as guards Reyla and Tharin take on a quest from the Gods to cure the sickness, leaving Freya to traverse the Ten Kingdoms in search of The Hand of Miera. But will they be able to find it in time? Meanwhile, in the East, The Duran Empire marshals their forces as the Emperor seeks to invade the starved desserts of Sudra. But the Sudra hold a terrible secret and Queen Nymati will not go down without a fight. * * * Imagine if Tim Burton and Joss Whedon got together to make a story to rival Full Metal Alchemist or Fairy Tail: that's my writing style. I hit some pretty deep topics but I try keep it light and entertaining.

Ruler of Angels | The Royal Legacies Series by mysteriouslyspooky

Elves were an interesting species, to say the least, and King Vaeril was just that. Although he was older than most around him, the elven age being twice the dwarven, he still seemed connected to his people. Unlike others, his parents did spoil him with riches, but he tended to hang around the poorer folks. Luckily for him, he learned to be more humble than other lords. To outsiders, the elves were looked at like "angels", being so ethereal in looks and attitude that people tended to fond over them. But this man wasn't like the rest. Falling, or well, stumbling into the king's life was not a part of the plan. He never needed an assassin, but with mercenaries in every corner, he starts to believe this man was put into his life for a reason. In the past two hundred years of existing, he's never felt this way before. This man is going to end up changing his entire life without realizing it. | Second Book of The Royal Legacies Series | • - - - - - - - - - - • - - - - - - - - - - • This will contain some language, references, blood, and violence.

While London is living in the past, Afalon is pushing toward it's future. 7 sons, a rare and lucky amount, are Princes in line to the throne. Melanie is in the 18th century, conning each village out of their wares in exchange to see but an inch into their future. Then, after an unlucky exchange, she's dragged into the floating court-city of Afalon in the Æther - another world entirely - to stand trial for someone else crimes. Trial by fire. Trial without end. Ameline has been busy pillaging and murdering her way through Afalon for months, making the ælfin pay for what they did to her family. Then, on a whim, she decides to go big or go home. She kills one of the Seven Princes. Those same princes who embody the attributes of each deadly sin... Now, another girl is brought from her homeworld, Earth, to stand trial for Ameline's own crimes. Worse still... she recognizes her face so, so much. It's her own. A doppelgänger. A modern twist on terrible childhoods and anti-heros.

Avalon Isn't What It Used To Be by A_L_untold

My mother says my endless curiosity and my need to venture is a curse. Though, I know she only says that because I'm just like my father; who went out to curb his appetite for new experiences and never came home. Do I feel abandoned? No. How could I? Not when I fully understand the craving... Fae almost never leave Avalon. It's rare, and normally Fae that leave Avalon are forced into exile. Hardly ever do they leave voluntarily. My mother hates to see me leave, and a part of me is ashamed to do so, seeing as I'm basically abandoning her like my father. But she has my baby brother, Almned, who isn't even 500 yet. And I'm one penalty away from serving time in the Avalonian Guardhouse. Which is ridiculous, considering I have only broken a few rules. Avalon used to be a vast place of freedom, a sanctuary for persecuted Fae, the Homeland where everyone had a voice. Well... Avalon is not what it used to be... Maybe the Otherworld will be big enough to spread my wings. *** What happens when a Fae leaves Avalon and befriends a Human? Yes, my book is rated mature. Though, it really isn't THAT bad. I really tried to keep it clean. Also, this is a part 1. Part 2 will come eventually.

Amongst the Waking Dreams by raeanngoodman

Nymeria Verne has always loved fantasy books. She loves the mystical lands, the fantastical creatures, the happy fairy tale endings...but what she loves most about them is that they are nothing like the real thing. Nymeria was raised in the land of faeries, constantly visiting the mortal realm with its urban cities but never understanding them. As a human living among fae, she has grown up always knowing that she is not pretty enough, not strong enough, not ever enough-for who could compare to the ethereal fae? She doesn't belong among either the faeries or the humans, and yet she loves her home and is desperate to find her place among the Seelie Courts. Despite the beauty and draw of the faerie world, there is a sinister undertone to it, and Nymeria knows that she can never be safe as a fragile human there. Not even her strenuous relationship with the faerie she refuses to call 'father' could help her. Her only chance of security and belonging is to one day come of age and become a faerie's bride, but at seventeen years old Nymeria refuses to accept marriage as the only option. In her search for her own path and independence, she stumbles across a prince of fae that offers all the solutions to her problems. She becomes his servant and agrees to spy for him in return for protection and a place in his court when he becomes High King. As a mortal, Nymeria can do something the fae can't: lie-a trait that the prince sees an opportunity in. Along the way, she meets a mortal boy, Collin, that was raised among fae just as she was. As her reluctant feelings for him grow, he has her questioning her choices and what it is she actually wants. Perhaps leaving the land of fae would be her better option... But her prince has no intention of letting her go.

The Golden Dragon's Hoard by STESLARA

Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.

When she hears whispers of a place filled with those of her kind, Faeda goes out on a desperate journey to find them. However, as she meets and discovers new friends and companions, Faeda has a gruesome realization: there are beings out there killing people like Faeda-and they're working for more powerful beings.

Where Shadows Are Born by Michelle917589

Seren Vale is a ghost in the night. An assassin with no past, no future-only the next target. Until a contract goes terribly wrong. Sent to kill a human king, Seren instead finds him dead - presumably from fae magic-and before she can escape, she is captured by Riven Duskbane, heir to the Unseelie Court. A prince of shadows and nightmares, Riven claims she is more than she seems. That the darkness inside her- the way that shadows had always seemed to taunt her were more than just her imagination. Dragged into the heart of Duskmere, the Unseelie capital, Seren is thrown into a world of dangerous politics and ancient magic, where enemies lurk behind every mask and the truth of her past is buried beneath blood and lies. As tensions rise between the mortal realm and the fae courts, Seren is forced into an uneasy alliance with Riven. But the longer she fights beside him, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them-a connection that could shatter everything she believes in.
