Sometimes what we set out to do isn't even remotely close to what we accomplish. 

Courage comes easily to some. Not to Ryder. Fear has been his constant companion ever since he can remember. He's always felt like he doesn't belong in his tiny village and is unceasingly accused of being a changeling-a wicked troll who infiltrates and takes the place of a family member, causing mischief and eating them out of house and home.
He has developed a philosophy: never face anything bigger than you.

Ryder's own family is very poor. Forced to work extra hours just to eat has taken it's toll on his Ma and Da. Ryder's own job is not enough. His only escape is to find better work. A knight to the king, he decides, is his best option.
Try as he might, Ryder cannot meet the physical requirements of a knight and is forced to choose between his safety or his family.

One chance remains. One chance to save his small but loving family.
A quest. One that will challenge Ryder beyond anything in his worst nightmares. A quest that requires strength and cleverness and one thing that has eluded Ryder all his life: courage. 

One question bites at his mind as he shakily begins his long journey. One question chokes out his breath and beats on his heart. 
Can he learn to be brave?All Rights Reserved

Fox Caught A Lion by SmlAlwaysOriginal

He was small, scared, and trying to save the only family he had. He never thought he'd be strong enough to bring a Lion to his knees. Excerpt: 'Better come out of there. You are on our land, if you are injured we'll help and get you on your way. We don't want trespassers.' Still I say nothing. 'Come on, you can't stay here come out or we'll have to come in after you.' I curl tighter around my babies and growl. No way would I let them near my babies. 'Now, now, we've been nice don't get unfriendly or we'll have to add to your injuries before we heal you.' Slipping to my feet I keep my body over my babies without squishing them. Whether it was my moving, my fear or they could smell our visitors but they began to whimper and squirm. Both lioness perk up at the sound. 'Stay away.' I tell them. 'You've babies? This is not the place for them.' One says, the other shifts her weight. 'The blood, you just gave birth didn't you? Where's your family? Can we call someone?' 'No. Go away, let me rest for a time and I'll take my babies and leave your territory.' 'You can't just wonder around with a newborn. How are you going to care for them. Come with us we'll take care of you until you get back on your feet.' 'No, I don't know you. Go away.' 'We won't hurt you.' I couldn't believe that, I couldn't trust these strangers. They were lions, lions were not known for being kind. I'd come out and they'd kill me and my babies.

Legacy of the Forsaken by BlessedThaKid

In a realm where the boundaries between myth and reality blur, five unlikely companions find their destinies intertwined, each carrying the weight of a past that haunts them and a future that calls to them. Leading them is a being unlike any other, forged in the fires of both machine and infernal magic-a part robot, part demon, struggling to balance the cold logic of their mechanical side with the fiery passions of their demonic heritage. Beside them walks a creature once feared as a legend-a mythical beast, born of ancient lore and monstrous strength, now turned good by the power of a heart that refuses to succumb to its dark origins. Their redemption is a fragile thing, constantly tested by the shadows of their past. The group is anchored by two brothers, ordinary in appearance yet extraordinary in spirit. In a world dominated by magic and fantastical beings, these humans stand as a testament to the true power of humanity. Their courage, ingenuity, and unbreakable bond are a beacon of hope, proving that even in a land of wonders, the strength of the human heart and mind can prevail against the mightiest of foes. Finally, there is the folklore monster, a creature of nightmares brought to life, who now seeks a new path. Learning to have a heart in a world that fears them, they struggle to redefine their identity, torn between the monstrous instincts that once defined them and the emerging compassion that could save them. Together, this unlikely band embarks on a journey fraught with peril and discovery, not just of the world around them, but of themselves. As they face trials that would break the strongest of souls, they find that their greatest strength lies not in their individual powers, but in the unity forged by friendship, understanding, and the shared pursuit of a destiny greater than any of them could achieve alone.

A COURT OF SHIFTERS AND SECRETS by Mk1120

Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."

Duchess Trilogy: Book 1: Mafia by DuchessBAM

Time travel, elves, magic-those are all just fairy tales, right? Or are they? After falling into a well, I was mysteriously transported nearly a hundred years into the future. A rescuer helped pull me out of the suspicious well but proceeded to think that I was completely insane. That I wasn't who I was. From then on, I go through a journey slowly learning about his family and this new world. But as I uncover the truth about this family and the strange life they lead, the real question becomes: Can I truly adjust to this new reality? And do I even want to?

Higher by Midnightalready

Although orphaned at an early age, caused so much trouble for anyone who knew her, and was always moving onto the next place not caring about who she left behind, Hayden undoubtedly was a Beauty. Her hard, cold, sarcastic nature made her appear as if she didn't care about anyone but herself. For years that was actually exactly how Hayden lived her life. But one night, running away from another problem she caused, she ran into Theo. Theo, the intimidating Beast that everyone feared for his fathers actions. It was only a coincidence the pair turned out to be mates. But perhaps, it was destiny that they paved a road to a happy ending together. Or at least something close to it for the two terribly confused, rightfully inconsolable, and undoubtedly searching for happiness werewolves. ( no rogues, no hunters, no rejection, no mute, no 'largest pack in North America' , no love triangle, no jealous ex girlfriend type, no sub-plot mate story... you're welcome.)

Joan by AceActsProductions

"I don't like to think of myself as this kickass, badass Lara Croft, no. But I try not to be your typical every day Jane Doe. So I where does that leave me? In the middle, I guess. So there. I'm just your atypical- yet completely ordinary- girl with a bloody crown. Yeah, that has a nice ring to it." At 14 years of age, Joan Domshov thinks she has it all figured out- well, mostly that is. Though her ducks may not always be in a line, she's pretty confident that if she's made it 14 years then she can make it 14 more without the world caving in on her. Oh how one can dream. Exposed to a new world with which she shares a closer tie than she knew, Joan realizes there's more beyond anything she's used to. But change is good. Unless it comes in the form of an eerily charming yet minatory king from the other side of Edalirwen. When her brother is taken by the king who seems to have a personal vendetta against her family's namesake, Joan will travel to the other side of a world that is rumored to be folklore. Regardless, Joan is certain she can prevail. But as her confidence is shaken and her perception about who she truly is starts to diminish, she'll be left questioning the person she once thought she was. Smartmouthed, snarky, and clueless to her obstacles, Joan will figure out whether she is a girl with a tainted past or something else entirely.
