The Tyris Keystone Council presides over the beating heart of trade in the Lyneth peninsula - the Grand Market. Thousands of people come each day to trade everything from turnips to silver, runic stones imbued with magic to 3 dozen kegs of beer. 

Caestarian is a 17 year old who has lived beside the Grand Market his entire life, and feels the cut and thrust of bartering and negotiating in his blood. After pressure from his parents to find a career, he applies to join the Keystone Council service, where he can dedicate himself to serving the city he loves. But Kez soon learns that managing such a diverse city is impossible without playing politics and negotiating labyrinthine bureaucracy and tradition. If he wants to make a difference, he will have to learn which rules he will have to follow - and which he can get away with breaking.All Rights Reserved

The price of dreams - The debt by RichardAWolf

It's funny how chain reactions work. The slightly wrong dream sold to the slightly wrong person and you've got yourself in a mess spinning out of control. Chain reactions were Kay's bread and butter. In the honest salesmanship of not-so-honestly-obtained goods, planning where your every act would take you was a necessary skill. He had been good at it. Had been. Until greed had made him promise things he couldn't deliver. There was nothing wrong with that, as a dream trader, his life mostly consisted in making promises he couldn't keep. What mattered was who you made them to. And this time, he had got it wrong. When no mage will cross over to the staircase dimension to fetch the desired somni, what's left for you to do? This was the question Kay was now forced to answer, and fast. Two days is a short time, shorter even when Lord Theobald Mannering, Count of Eastshire is the one counting them.

Champions of Light: Gaëtano's Sword [Book One] by Natbug4545

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.

The Zero Hour | #Wattys2016 by xtoverus

The world as we know it is controlled by Nobles - powerful wizards that have power over everything. It is the age of ice; a time of ages past, lost in our historical records and unbeknownst to the world today. The commoners who don't wield magic live under their thrall as slaves, doing everything humanly possible to avoid earning their wrath. A single misstep could spell torture or death. One morning, a commoner accidentally takes matters into his own hands by standing up against a prominent Noble's son. The ensuing altercation enrages the boy's father Malevolent Drake, who delivers an ultimatum: A hundred commoners are to die in three days to restore his house's honor, or the elimination of the entire commoner camp. Faced with that reality, the leader of the camp hatches a plot to bring in outside help to combat the Noble army. With time running short, nobody really knows if the plan will even work - given the fact that the Nobles themselves have a few tricks up their sleeves as well. Tricks that could spell doom for everyone involved... * Highest ranked #63 in Adventure (Apr'16) & #708 in Fantasy (May'16). Updates every Tuesday & Friday :)
