Rune mages are rare and frankly everyone knows rune mages don't usually survive the training required to become a sanctioned mage. Rouge mages are hunted and killed. Logan Lofe is determined to finish the mage training as top mage, despite being a rune mage and limited to runes.

But his success comes at a high price even he can't predict. In a battle of him against an army, will his rune magic be enough?

You might enjoy this story if you like first person narratives, like magic and (possibly overpowered) underdogs who may or may not gradually become less stable as the story goes on. 

If you're looking for a lot of descriptions of physical characteristics of characters or land or buildings... I'm not great at that and as a reader I prefer making my own descriptions. Feel free to leave ideas.

Crown & Thorn by Valian_boi

Young, reckless, but prodigious Prince Evander Ardyanolphus learned one thing after the war he grew up in; that he can take care of himself and has no use for bodyguards-especially not the stern, older knight who dared to scar his face. Sir Harrison Thornwood is dutiful, distant, and maddeningly unshakable-everything Evander can't stand. Their unique bond-or lack thereof-didn't start that way, but after being forbidden to go outside again and finding out who suggested it to the king, Evander wasn't mad; he was furious. But as palace tensions rise and hidden enemies close in, the prince and his knight are forced into each other's orbit. What begins as irritation turns to grudging respect-and then to something neither of them dares name. In a kingdom where love is a liability and loyalty can cost your life, Evander must choose between the throne he was born for and the man he was never meant to love; his Thorn. ˚✧₊⁎ • ★ • ⁎⁺˳✧༚ Published : August 2025 Finished : ˚✧₊⁎ • ★ • ⁎⁺˳✧༚ Fantasy Romance Angst Royalty x Knight Acquaintances->Enemies->Friends->Lovers ˚✧₊⁎ • ★ • ⁎⁺˳✧༚ TRIGGER WARNING!!! -> Self harm -> Violence -> Sexual assault -> Rape **There are probably some more that I missed

।।THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST LONGLISTED।। Life...Limerence... Love When duty and desire clash, what will you choose? Can you give up the love which may kill you?

Forever My Love boyxboy (Sequel to Forever My Hero) by IggyScones

*This is a sequel to my USUK fanfic "Forever My Hero" but does not pertain to USUK! This is about their son! DO NOT EXPECT MUCH USUK* Aaron hasn't always had the best stroke of luck, aside from managing to be one of the rarest and most powerful creatures alive -- a mage AND a werewolf. But that is definitely where his luck ends. Being rejected by your mate is possibly the most painful thing that can ever happen to a werewolf, or anyone really. We've all read at least one overly sappy, heartbreaking story where something along those lines happens. Barely keeping himself together after having his heart torn apart, Aaron leaves for college, but things aren't rainbows and butterflies like he was hoping. When are they ever? Running into the man that stomped on his heart, and possibly falling for someone that isn't even his mate is definitely not on his list of courses. This poor boy doesn't have a clue where his life is heading, but life doesn't stop for anyone. Good luck, Aaron. You'll need it. ~~~ *Please excuse my horrible cover art. I did this myself*

The Fire in the Wind // Book One (Complete) by PoisonedImmortal

In a world of gods, pirates, and blessings, Phoenix Finch lives in a small coastal town secluded from the rest of the world. In a town that values rules, traditions, and law above all else, Phoenix has never known of anything else. When he is both rescued and kidnapped by the most fearsome pirate of them all, Nico Maheras, The West Wind, he is brought into a world so unlike his own. Scared and alone, he lashes out, and the captain lashes right back. As he is introduced to more and more of the crew, he finds that maybe, Pirates aren't as bad as he thought, and maybe the captain isn't as scary as he seems. He begins to settle into the ship, finding friendship and freedom. But when his sister is kidnapped by Redcoats for her blessing, he must take action and save her along with his new friends. But Phoenix will soon find out there is more to himself, the captain, and this story, than it seems. - - - This is the first draft of my novel, which took about a year to write. As such, this is somewhat unedited, and needs improvement. Constructive criticism is both wanted and appreciated. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Cover is mine, made with AutoDesk Sketchbook and BeFunky photo editor. - - - - Content warnings: Kidnapping, Violence, Cursing, Fighting, Torture, Death, mentions of past s*xual assault, and slavery. Please let me know if there's any other warnings that you think should be added! (I swear that makes it sound so much worse than it actually is. This is a lighthearted story about friendship, self discovery, family, and freedom.)

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019 by Kehanni

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixie

The Rune Smith by Ennycema

No magical ability, a little bit of courage, and a whole lot of friendship. Sometimes all you need is a girl like Alia. Alia attends a school for those with magic despite not actually having any magic. She does, however, have the ability to read runes, an ability no one else has. And this often brings about problems. Author's Note: I won't be continuing this story, however it does sort of have an ending if you do wish to read it. That said, there may be a time in the future where I either pick it up again or completely redo it! This version is completely unedited, so there's probably quite a few problems :P I hope you enjoy!

The Duke Fell for the Villainess by Rojeen_Zara

She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?
