"I thought a tree that symbolises life would be a fitting companion to Death." 

Thaleara Sullivan has a debt to pay. Five years ago, she was found by Glenham's thieves guild and provided a life. Little did she know that she would have to return the gold for what she was given... and more. 

She's been scrambling around the city of Glenham as a thief ever since, looking for jobs to pay back her indenture. But when she steals a ring with the symbol of magic from a stranger, she realises she made a mistake. The symbol and magic itself has been long since outlawed in the city of Glenham, and use or even association with it is punishable by death. 

Thaleara sells the ring the first chance she gets, but the stranger now wants it back, and he is willing to pay five million gold for it. Thaleara can't say no. There's only one problem. 

The ring was given to the king as a gift from a foreign diplomat, and they'll have to break into the palace to get it back.

"Then let's start planning a heist."

Where Smoke Bleeds Gold by UDONTKNOWLIME

Something evil has been lurking in the shadows for a long time. Books burned, memories gone, there is nothing to warn them of the upcoming troubles looming ahead. But before any of that happens, we're met with five dragons; fire, frost, dark, tide, rock. Broken and tattered spirits. Wandering endlessly through a shattered world. Though, through trial and error, they learn that even with being broken by the Scales around them, anyone can have what it takes to change the world for the better. This book does have some warnings, the main characters aren't the happiest of people. I wrote this book to kinda say that even the worst of people can have a happy ending, but I can't draw people. So it's about dragons, obviously... (Ended without an ending)

To Make a Kinder Children's Tale by cynicalchristian

Esme had one big fear in life: being captured as a thief by the city's guardsmen and being executed for her crimes, and that so heavily weighed on her mind that she increased her risks by being distracted in the middle of a heist. That's when she runs into Althalos Fourthborn: Inner Circle Guardsman, one of the many princes of the realm, an Aelif (Dark Elf, local dialect)...and her betrothed by treaty. (That was something her almost human mind could not handle.) So she calls off the heist, gets demoted into a far more risky job, learns the true bitter depth of what this treaty's bond is like, and lands safely by her prince's side....sort of. There were people who still wanted to end her life, even if she was in what most people would call a Happily Ever After. That and her prince had his own living fears that were gnawing at any chance they had. That and she might just lose her mind from everyday boredom. But the one she couldn't wrap her all-too human mind around was that she would one day grow wings and fly away from her almost Happily Ever After to live in a hive with ancestors more alien than a hottie with pointed ears and abandonment issues. ~~~~ Yes, there are adult themes in this book, and difficult subjects, but nothing is excessive, as this is probably my simplest story. So, trigger warnings: A history of assault. Occasional vulgar language. References to partial cannibaliam. Extremely mild, light, and rare sex scenes. At least one elitist mentality. ~~~~ Ages of MC/ML: Esme: Apparent age of 24, roughly 20 years lived (mostly human). Althalos: Apparent age of 30, roughly 65 years lived (Elves mature slower).

Lost Destinies by wxnderland_addict

𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐀, where everything is happily ever after... until it isn't. Most people either loathe the idea of or don't believe in the legend of the Writer, a mysterious being in a faraway tower who writes the life story of every person who has ever lived with an enchanted pen. When an alliance of rogue mages decides to rise up against their destinies and take back power from the lazy, complacent royals ruling over the land, they don't realize what they've bargained for. An ancient curse is awakened by the death of Queen Snow White, and the gang of thieves robbing the Snow palace on the day she is killed become entangled in her destiny, changing theirs forever. Ramona Swan and her crew, fairytale misfits barely scraping by in an old van and stealing to live, find themselves swept up into a life they never asked for ⸻ discovering the Writer is real and that he needs them to save the world. They chase through dangerous forests, battle monsters, and brave raging seas in a race against time to stop the newly emerged Alliance of Darkness from shattering the most famous fairy tales of all time, tearing down everything Fairytaletopia stands for in the process. The Alliance is brimming with wavering loyalties and sides bound to split, but their goal is set, and they'll do everything in their power to achieve it. Little do they know the royals won't go down without a fight. The thieves never asked to be caught up in all of this, but no one ever can truly predict what fate has in store. They're fighting for something they've never believed in before and questioning everything they've ever known. Along the way they'll learn what family truly is... and forge their own destinies, together. ✹ GLORIOUS AWARDS 2023 WINNER: Action/Adventure, 1st Place. ✹ THE BOOK AWARDS 2023 WINNER: Action/Adventure, 3rd Place. ✹ Cover by @EdenHart87. © Ginger Beckett 2022-24

Magical Misappropriations by steveheuser

The life of a thief is hard, but glamorous. With enough money, even the lowest-born citizen of the shining jewel of Voughtberg can carve out a comfortable niche, enjoying the silent prestige that comes with it. The watchmen doff their hats at the masters, and after nights of derring-do, they retire to their hidden beds, and beautiful men and women. Or so Roland and Jochim have heard. Unfortunately, they're still stuck doing whatever task is assigned to them by their miserly employer. Whatever pittance they are gifted has to be supplemented by mundane work under the burning sun, shoulder to shoulder with the sweating masses of the city. These, however, are the necessary burdens for the future they desire, burdens that have been shouldered by generations of thieves. Certainly, nothing so capricious that the accidental theft of a simple paintbrush could disturb it... Imagine the surprise when after its discovery, they are pursued by strange men, and stranger monsters, intent on their death, and the brush's retrieval. With only their wits, and the help of a few friends, the pair of thieves are thrown into a struggle to find out the mystery of the strange artifact before they, or the life they cling to, are lost forever.

Shadow Thief by 8writerandreader8

She's a thief. Living in the slums of Paris Alicia or Ali is definitely ready to return back home but like everything else in her life that plan crumbles and she is left on a new planet - with only her new neighbour Andre for company. She's sarcastic, rude and a little bit moody so how will she manage when she might need to be nice to get any chance at getting home © copyright all rights reserved Each chapter is at least 1500 words but most likely more. I have spent a really long time writing and planning this book so I would appreciate it if no one copies my ideas. I am welcome to ideas and suggestions so feel free to comment or ask. -- Extract: Andre collapsed. 'Pathetic.' Tyke muttered dismissing his unconscious form. I was about to go and check on him when Tyke told me it was my turn. 'Your fight will be in this arena.' he pointed to the one next to Andre's crumpled body. I looked at Tyke letting a smirk evolve on my features and threw a cocky grin at Elra. I wouldn't beat her, but I would at least hit her. I could take a lot more than Andre, that's for sure. I sauntered over not allowing any hint of my nerves come through. Shoving them down so far I could barely feel them myself. Letting the bravado of street life back in, I entered the cage. Elra was oozing confidence so I gave it all back to her. Focus, Ali. Focus. She wouldn't see me cry.

Swords of Isadren (BoyxBoy) by MorganicEgg

After an attack on his village, by his own kingdoms army nonetheless, Asman is injured and stolen by a group of people. Their armor and swords are akin to those he had seen very rarely; Isadrenian soldiers. The kingdoms of Felias and Isadren had long been at war and it had been force fed to the children of Felias that those who came from the north were barbarians and in league with the dark doings of magic. Asman never believed them and after seeing who the group were and what they truly believed, there was no doubt in his mind that Isadren was not the kingdom to blame. Along with learning more about Isadren and its people, Asman also learns about himself; who he loves and what inside him has been held back by years of fear. ________________ This story lays heavily on the side of fantasy, but also holds a bit of connection to the real world in things such as Religion and Climate. This story also includes: Gay Relationships/ People, POC characters, Homophobic Notions (but no actual abuse or slurs), and of course, ~Magic~. *First Draft, but readable* Enjoy!! :):)
