From nobles to vagabonds, these young men and women of all walks of life were selectively chosen to serve the greater good of the world and hunt the corruption and darkness that ravaged the world.

One, an outsider, looking for a greater purpose, Another, a revolutionary looking to escape her past, A man working to become worthy of his family legacy, A young woman simply wanting to make her caretaker proud of her and finally, a man who's rage and hatred leads him on the razor's edge close to a dark abyss he won't escape from.

Awakened by 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, 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. With time running out, she discovers that survival demands more than courage; it requires her to unlock the truth of who she is, even if it means forging an unbreakable bond with the one man who could destroy her. 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?

Her world is dying, poisoned and ravaged by war, and there's only one way to survive. Sixteen-year-old Valora steps up to lead her people in an evacuation, scattering them among the stars in a desperate hope to preserve Zerian life. The new world where they seek refuge-a place that harbors a powerful and mysterious energy, and native lifeforms that are far from welcoming-proves to be no less treacherous. But Valora soon realizes that the greatest danger her people will face is the one they brought with them. The locket her father gifted her before she left carries the secrets about what happened to her world, about what happened to her mother-whose mysterious death still troubled her-and about the enemy that is closer than she ever imagined. Valora must make a heartbreaking choice in order to save not only the lives of her people, but their souls as well.

Beneath the Shadowlanders by ManderRitzert

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.
