The Two Sides of the Light by Lord_Pasta

Light uncovers truth-but in its brilliance, it also consumes what once was. From the dim recesses of an aging empire, a crime lord of quiet brilliance begins to unfurl a design long buried by history. With wealth as his tether and influence as his hand, he draws forth men, machines, and forgotten knowledge, seeking to resurrect an age the world has tried to forget. Far from the noise of power, a canoness lives bound to silence, prayer, and the discipline of her vows. Yet the ache of a missing parent stirs an older calling within her-one she had laid to rest. When she steps beyond her cloister's walls, she carries with her a grace sharpened by years of restraint, and a power the world believes dormant. Across steam-choked rails, along quiet waterways, and through forest paths where secrets cling like mist, their journeys begin to converge. One walks toward dominion; the other toward revelation. Each step reshapes the fate of the empire, though neither can yet see the full shape of the other. When faith meets ambition upon the threshold of a darkening age, which will endure-and which will be eclipsed? ▄︻デ══━一💥 Updating at least twice-weekly

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

Awakening by Otterpop543

A small and quiet Utah town is full of life. Friendly neighbors. Beautiful scenery. Friends and family that stand by you no matter what. And the light of faith being their guide and protection. Also hostile shadowy creatures, a town-wide epidemic, an unexpected famine, and unrest between even the closest of friends. And standing in the middle of it all is an ordinary young man with the remarkable, and secret, ability to see spirits and specters. Or at least, that's what he thought. Turns out he's the most unordinary being there, and with his town falling into disarray, all he has are his abilities and a mysterious weapon only he can wield.

The Veil of Ages by Ordinary_9839

For centuries, history has whispered of legendary weapons and lost artifacts-relics that shaped the rise and fall of empires before vanishing into obscurity. Some say they were lost. Others insist they were hidden-sealed away to prevent catastrophe. Ethan Carter never thought he'd uncover a secret buried deeper than time itself. When he lands an internship at Argon Heritage, the world's leading historical research institute, he believes it's a step toward his dream. But a chance discovery leads him to classified artifacts that shouldn't exist, pulling him into a hidden war between three powerful factions: The Order of the Worthy, who believe only the elite should wield such power. The Preservationists, who would rather see these relics erased than unleashed upon the world. The Seekers, who chase forgotten knowledge, believing history belongs to all. As Ethan and his fellow interns dig deeper, they begin to question everything they know. Who decides which histories are told? Who controls the past? And wha

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Mysterious Master by user22067523

Amidst the waves of steam and machinery, who can grasp the extraordinary? In the fog of history and darkness, who whispers in our ears? I awaken from the mystery and open my eyes to this world: firearms, cannons, massive ships, airships, differential engines; magic potions, divination, curses...
