The End Of Destiny by RudeusNovocrono7

In the world teeming with magic and ancient prophecies, a prodigious girl is born with a destiny she cannot escape. Nyx has always known she was different. Born under the twin moons of Eclipsarum and blessed with unparalleled magical abilities, she is the chosen one destined to confront and defeat the malevolent demon king, Anos. From a young age, Nyx is trained rigorously in combat and sorcery, honing her skills for the day she will face her greatest challenge. The kingdom of Eclipsarum, a land of breathtaking beauty and hidden dangers, teeters on the brink of destruction. The shadow of Anos's reign spreads, leaving fear and chaos in its wake. His dark powers grow stronger, and with each passing day, the hope of the people wanes. They look to Nyx as their beacon of hope, their last line of defense against the encroaching darkness. Nyx's journey is fraught with peril. Alongside a diverse group of allies-a stoic knight, a cunning rogue, and a wise sorceress-she ventures through enchanted forests, over treacherous mountains, and into the heart of Anos's dark domain. Each step forward reveals more about her own powers and the true extent of the demon king's evil. As Nyx faces trials that test her strength and resolve, she learns that her destiny is not just to wield power but to understand its cost. Her battles against Anos's minions are not only physical but also moral, challenging her to question the very nature of good and evil. In moments of quiet reflection and intense conflict, she begins to see that her purpose might be more complex than simply defeating an enemy. In a climactic showdown, Nyc confronts Anos in his fortress of shadows. The battle is fierce, pushing her to the limits of her abilities

FOR MILLENNIA SHE HAS STOOD A SILENT VIGIL. HER POWER UNQUESTIONABLE. HER SHIELD LIGHT IMPENETRABLE. GAIA is a land rife with magic, mysticism, and the treachery of warring factions. But the stakes are raised when the guardian is destroyed, and darkness descends upon the continent. A demon now walks free, and hordes of Anasi are on the hunt. As chaos ensues and old feuds rear their heads, three strangers find themselves on a mission to save their world or be forced to watch it burn. ZANDER seeks answers. Abandoned by his father at a young age and confined to the outskirts of humanity, he does what he must to survive.

KEKO is a prince who has been groomed since birth to lead the people of Tia into the future. What he wants, however, is another matter. As time runs out, he finds himself on a journey to reconcile the two before fate's cruel hand does it for him. KARA seeks revenge, or at least a chance to get even. Castaway by those who should love her most, she spends most of her days wading neck-deep in the wreckage of her past. Yet, as the world begins to burn around her, she finds herself seeking hope in the most unlikely of places.

The Art Of Getting Rich Again by Vissius

She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.

Convergence by GenaErvin

"The realization and truth of my life confused me. My stepmother was actually my father. The man I knew as my father was really a stranger. I was half-demon and half-witch with the magic of both and primed to be the ruler of the magical world." When the always pristine perfect princess Karissa Parker is given a strange little book, she discovers that she is the descendent of a powerful demon-hunting witch and the book contains the magic of her ancestors. Before she even knows how to use it, a creature steals it from her. She and her protector, Ricardo Ortega, must get the book back if she is ever to inherit her mother's family magic. There's just one thing that bothers them. She's always had magic powers. Witches don't inherit their family magic at birth, but demons do. In a world where magic is real and the forces of good hunt the forces of evil, it's possible for hybrids to exist, those who must fight an internal struggle on which side to choose. Kari could no longer ignore the fact that magic and demonic creatures were real. After all, seeing is believing and she saw more in those first few days than she ever thought possible.

Daughter of Luka (LGBT+) by AsteriS47

In a world of those who have human and wolf blood, Ophelia is the daughter of a wolf hunter. There's just one thing that might cause trouble for that and that is Ophelia's growing relationship with a pack of wolves that live in the forest behind her house. Ophelia thought her life was going to be simple. Well, as simple as life could get when she just happened to be failing her job, her relationship and (the absolute bane of it all) mathematics. But oh, no, something far more deadly and sinister awaits Ophelia in the forest behind her home. Will she be able to discover how to save her new friends before something takes them from her forever? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Werewolves in England? Yeah, apparently stranger things did happen. Much, much stranger than I had ever thought of before, but strange nonetheless. At first, I thought I had simply been imagining it. As soon as I got into bed and stared up at my ceiling, I pinched myself just to establish that I wasn't, in fact, dreaming. I wasn't dreaming. Thus, I had to accept what I had seen in the forest as the cold, hard, truth- make that the warm, fuzzy, truth. Werewolves were real. It was either that, or I was completely losing it.
