Shinnrae Netherbane had always been trained to do everything a normal lass wouldn't do--she was never interested at all in the world of fancy frocks and gowns and silks, but instead favored going hunting for game, training as an assassin and holding back waves of bandits single-handedly. But there has always been one thing that had plagued her mind for years...the oath that her prince had made her long, long ago. 
And even as a peasant farmer she knew she could always be something way more than what she was born to be. But when her visit to the big city is blown way out of proportion, she soon finds herself in an engrossing and enticing world full of magic and uncertainty, surrounded by a race of surreal and beautiful super humans that are flawless in every which way.
As she escapes pursuit and almost endless jeopardy from an onslaught of power-hungry war lords, will Shinnrae learn in time to break free of her fears or will she fall into the clutches of evil for all eternity?All Rights Reserved

Magic Land: The Lost Princess (On Hold Until January) by Kadenereadaholic

Growing up, Imogene Baker knew that she was different from everyone else, but little did she know how different she really was. I grew up as an orphan, so I didn't know what it was like to have a real family. She was found on the streets as a baby, and since then, she'd been bounced around from foster home to foster home. She didn't know anything about her real family or who she was. Now, twenty-five years later, Imogene lives in a small apartment and works at a local coffee shop. She didn't really have any friends growing up. She has been an outsider all her life. Well, that was before she met Aaron Dawkins and knew what it was like to have a real friend. Aaron was kind to her and was always there for her when she needed him. He made her feel special, and she couldn't help but care deeply for him. He even promised her that he would help her find out her true identity. But then something weird happened that took her by surprise. She found out that she was no ordinary girl. She had unimaginable powers that she didn't know she possessed. Magical powers that she didn't even know existed. With these newly awakened powers, she was scared and confused more than ever. On her quest of discovering who she is, she met a guy who told her he knew about her parents. He seemed to know everything about her, and she was grateful to finally find out what was missing in her life. It didn't take long for Imogene to get close to this stranger. He pulled her in with his enchanting charm and looks and desperate for answers. She put her trust in him. However, deep down, doubts were lurking in Imogene's mind; doubts about her past and her supposed future. Even though this stranger gave her all the answers, could she really trust him? Was she really who he said she was? Finding out the truth will be the easy part, but will she figure it out soon enough to save her kingdom from the evil that wants to take it over? And will she be able to save her own heart in the process?

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira

[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

Our Soul Nexus by Kills_withSky

In the kingdom of Ascar, 17-year-old Ayben begins his second year at the prestigious Dressdardon Magic Academy. This year, he achieves a significant milestone by forming a Soul Pact with Rizel, a mirror familiar from the enigmatic Mirror Realm, a parallel dimension where reflections and illusions take sentient forms. While soul pacts are celebrated achievements that significantly enhance a mage's power, Rizel's cold and distant demeanor surprises Ayben, as such bonds are typically founded on deep friendships. The lack of a strong connection hinders Ayben's Soul-Bound magic, leaving it practically non existent. As Ayben and Rizel confront imminent dangers, embark on daring adventures and navigate the academy's complex magical curriculum, their bond slowly deepens despite their initial conflicts. Meanwhile, Ascar faces escalating threats from the Fae, a mystical race with ancient powers and conflicting agendas. With the kingdom's stability at risk and war with the Fae approaching, Ayben's relationship with Rizel is tested like never before. His evolving feelings for Rizel add further complexity as he strives to balance his personal emotions with his responsibilities. In a world where magic and politics are perpetually at odds, Ayben must push his limits and find a path to peace amid the chaos.

The Last Dragon by Writer-Ali

When word reaches the castle that a dragon was slaughtered, her life is changed forever. Ilia feels something pulling at her inside. She must help. What can a mere student do when the best Knight-mages are already out there, seeking the last dragons to protect them? With her powers acting up, can she trust what she feels? With nothing more than feelings to go on, Ilia leaves the safety of the castle, the only place she's ever known. Can she find and protect dragons before it's too late? Are her powers tied to the dragons somehow? If so, what happens if the last dragon dies? Will she die, too?

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of the Creeping Bam (BOOK 1: The Job) by BrenGrigori

TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Ten thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed - its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they're still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They're also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn't yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn't even know is coming ... IMPORTANT: Please note this story includes content that may be considered mature, such as moderate battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. I am also serializing this on Tumblr, Sweek, Quotev and RoyalRoad.com

That is until an unexpected visitor gives him hope for the life he's only dreamt of. Can they keep the demons coming from every direction from breaking down the walls?

NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then. Thanks for reading!
