In the distant future, on the planet Fortune, tech is low, treason high, and heroes unlikely.

Wrongly convicted of treason, Infantry Colonel Gideon Quinn has spent six years under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, harvesting crystal and dreaming of vengeance. 

But when a general of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedom, and a chance to clear his name, Gideon doesn't have to think twice. He takes her offer and with Elvis, his pet draco, on his shoulder, boards an airship bound for the city of Nike in search of revenge. 

And justice. 

But mostly revenge.

What he finds is plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and a seeming host of enemies determined to stop Gideon from discovering their deadly purpose-by any means necessary. Now Gideon finds himself involved in an entirely different kind of battle-a shadow war that, if he loses, could bring Fortune's new and fragile peace to an explosive end.

And that's just his first night in town. 

Soldier of Fortune is the first Gideon Quinn Adventure. If you like down-at-heels heroes, quippy sidekicks, and roller-coaster action, you'll love this free-wheeling mashup of science fantasy, steampunk, and comedy.Tous Droits Réservés

Edogon, écrit par LadyDestinysTragedy

Dune Quinn was brought to the future because of a prophecy that claimed he would be the one that would finally end the war between the St. Conians and the humans from earth. But he gets more than he bargained for. Technically he's still eighteen, no sorry twenty because he's been at the academy for two years already, but in the light of the humans he's 1086 years old and still as stunning and handsome, and as young as he was 1086 years ago. He's still got that blonde hair that blows the girls away, his charming and player attitude that he shared with John and the muscles that he earned from all those years in soccer, and not to mention all those scars from the fights he got into. And finally after spending two years in the hell hole of the 3098'th century Dune is being put onto a military force ship to defend his new found home. But before that he has to make Avery Nickels become his. Avery Nickels is a mysterious girl that joined the Urenic military force's academy two years before she should even have been able to. Whether that was because of her smarts or because of how well respected her parents were, well that's debatable. But what isn't debatable is her passion for the force and keeping her people alive. Avery's life seems perfect, she's got the guy she hates but actually loves at her side and her best friend Melissa along with Melissa's boyfriend at her side. But when Melissa's boyfriend Corbin's best friend finally drags himself away from the ladies to meet Avery it seems like everything will come crashing down because Avery has no such tolerance for such players. But she puts up with it only because there is the chance that by Friday she won't have to see his face for a long, long time.

Star Wars: Stranded in a Magical World with my Lightsaber, écrit par HuntedAcolyte

When former Jedi guardian Ryu Chikara's ship crash-lands on a mysterious planet unlike any he's ever known, he finds himself far from the galaxy's conflicts-but no closer to peace. Aranthia, a realm where magic reigns and danger lurks at every turn, is on the brink of war. Among medieval castles and enchanted forests, orcs, elves, and beasts roam-none of whom have ever heard of the Force. Accompanied by his loyal tactical droid, Apollo, and his mechanic Lyra, Ryu's survival depends not only on his skill with a lightsaber but also his ability to navigate a strange new world where power lies not in technology, but in spells, swords, and ancient secrets. Along the way, Ryu rescues a lost beast folk child, Nikko, and joins forces with a beautiful elvish warrior, Talia. But when dark forces from the past reawaken, threatening both this world and the one he left behind, Ryu must confront his deepest fears and reconcile with the guilt that haunts him. As ancient prophecies stir and long-buried powers resurface, Ryu's destiny becomes entangled with Aranthia's own. Will he bring balance to a world teetering on the edge of chaos-or will he become the harbinger of its destruction? In this epic blend of sci-fi adventure and high fantasy, Stranded in a Magical World with my Lightsaber takes readers on a journey across two worlds colliding, where a hero must rediscover his purpose amidst shadowy forces, forgotten magic, and unlikely friendships.

The Resonance of Shadows, écrit par tseeley13

Naomi believed her life was ordinary, her challenges no different from anyone else's-until the day she was torn from her world. Abducted through a mysterious portal and thrust into a breathtaking yet dangerous realm, Naomi finds herself face-to-face with Creed, a powerful and enigmatic ruler who reveals truths that shake the very foundation of her existence. She is no ordinary human; she is a Starseed, a being of immense power tied to a prophecy that spans dimensions. Trapped in Creed's world and cut off from her sister and best friend, Naomi struggles to reconcile her awakening powers with her fear of the unknown. Creed, a man with secrets of his own, insists she is the key to saving not just his people but the universe itself. But trust is not easily earned, and Naomi's defiance might be her only shield in a world where alliances are fragile, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. As the Dark Forces close in, hunting her for reasons she cannot yet fully understand, Naomi must decide whether to embrace her destiny or risk losing everything-and everyone-she holds dear.

In a universe where light and darkness wage a timeless war, Naomi's choices will shape the fate of worlds. But will she rise to the challenge, or will the weight of her destiny crush her before she can fight back?

The Sun & the Shadows that Bind, Book One of the Sky Runner Collective, écrit par dkdubois

In "The Sun & the Shadows that Bind", a fractured world teeters on the edge of chaos. The gods have vanished and dark creatures run rampant, leaving mortals to grapple with the lingering echoes of their power and the encroaching threat of the Void, a dark force that corrupts everything it touches. Gideon la Fey, a brash young gladiator with the flames of the Void coursing through his veins, fights for more than survival in the brutal coliseums of New Theos. He dreams of rising above his station, proving his worth to a city that sees him as nothing more than a dangerous outsider. But when his ambition collides with ancient forces and shadowy conspiracies, Gideon finds himself drawn into a battle far greater than any he's faced in the arena. Guided by unlikely allies, Gideon must confront the fire within himself to stand against a growing darkness. As champions rise and factions clash, the line between light and shadow blurs, and Gideon learns that the greatest battles are not fought with strength alone but with the choices that define a soul. In this epic tale of power, betrayal, and redemption, the question is not whether Gideon can wield the flames of the Void, but whether he can master them before they consume everything he holds dear. Will the rising sun bring hope-or cast longer shadows?

Sins Chaos, écrit par PLFeight

Tick-tock. Time is up. You can run, but... I wouldn't know the truth if it ran me over on a dark road and stopped long enough to introduce itself. I'm a chameleon and my days of flying under Rixton Biochemical Corp's radar has come to end. Battles fought in secret have now become public and war has been declared. Falling in love wasn't even a blip on my survival radar. From the moment I literally fell into him, it was lust at first sight and our connection was undeniable. Too bad I'm the threat he is sworn to hunt down and he's the danger I crave. ...you will be hunted... Self-delusion: the master of all lies spun; the spider that guards deceptions web. When my past comes back to haunt me, my perfectly crafted island of deceptive truths and earth-shattering lies descends into chaos. I am supposed to be the good guy. The one who hunted down the bad guys. I live in a world where the line that separates the "good" guys from the "bad" guys is just a blurry optical illusion that tricks the mind into believing whatever it wants to be true. Not everything (or everyone) is what (or who) it (they) seem. ...and the truth always finds its prey.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One, écrit par 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.
