For two months, the Avondorian Mountains have been a safe haven. Now, that's about to change. When a scout returns to Anahill with a disturbing message, Audren, the freshly-inaugurated Lord of the Mountains, finds himself faced with a challenge: The Cursed will reach the city within days.

Undead, highly dangerous and hungry for human flesh, the Cursed are creatures not to be messed with. Audren refuses to let them slaughter his people and turn them into monsters. He sees only one way to save his home: Breaking the curse that started this terror. Teaming up with a grumpy student mage, Audren ventures into hostile territory. But can this curse even be broken?All Rights Reserved

(MalexMale) The Soul Master [Crimson Immortal Series: Book 2] by --CN--Writes

The first of three curses was fulfilled. The town of Ceginia is no more, having succumbed to the Lich King's Heart Rot curse. Sei is still bound and obligated to finish two more curses for Zhil, a mage who learned the forbidden soul magic and forced a contract with him. They escaped almost unscathed from a group of mage hunters, who had been hunting for Zhil for many years, in the aftermath of Ceginia. Suffering from Zhil's poor handling of Sei's ghost magic, they both fell into a state of magical exhaustion. Sei is taunted by the nightmare of his rebirth into the Bleeding King, only to awaken to the news of the elusive Weeping King, another lich, being sighted around his realm. Sei and Zhil must return to find out what he wants before heading to Gytuana. The city where magic lives and the next curse in Zhil's contract. PREVIEW: Perhaps it was because Sei only managed an hour of sleep or perhaps because his mind was in disarray, he didn't sense the void steadily circling him. Hidden out of sight and biding their time until it was the right moment to strike. Muted by the ambiance of the landscape around it, a low twang of a bowstring hummed. Lofting its arrow forward at high speed. Penetrating through the air the wind gave no heed to its destination. The moment before it struck, Sei turned his head finally sensing the danger. But slow to judge the distance, he failed to get out of the way in time, allowing the arrow to slice across the front of his eyes, bathing his world in darkness.

Retaining only their sanity, they flee the wolf hunters and hide deep in the forest. Hungry and afraid, the estranged couple work together to survive ... and the love they've never had begins to blossom.

Hell's True Monarch (Dark Souls 2 X Helltaker Crossover) by IvoryMage

"For all I care, that throne can rot." These were the last words of Alinoth, the Bearer of the Curse, as he abandoned both the Throne of Want and Drangleic. Guided by Aldia and having broken free from the endless cycle, the True Monarch now forges his own path, seeking something beyond Light and Dark. Armed with primordial knowledge and the power of the ancient crowns, Alinoth journeys across countless worlds, witnessing, learning, and growing even stronger. Yet, after an unforeseen accident, Alinoth finds himself in a strange new realm - one engulfed in fire and brimstone, where souls endure eternal torment, and... inhabited by cute demon girls? Such infernal domain is one of the last places the weary monarch expected to find not just love and new friends, but also the peace he desires the most.

Haunted by JuliaCoffin

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]

Flickering Creatures | ONC 2024 Longlist | ✔︎ by SmokeAndOranges

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover. Prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her. ❖❖❖ Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

By The Light Of The Moon by CrystalScherer

What do you get when you mix a trader woman, a cursed werewolf, a dangerous forest, and a sadistic warlord? Nothing good. On her way home from a summer of trading, Olivia didn't want to hire a cursed werewolf as an escort, but he was the only one willing to guide her over the treacherous Navier mountains. Not only do they have to contend with bandits and dangerous animals lurking among the trees, but they also have to dodge unscrupulous war parties who are determined to track them down. They forgot one thing though - curses don't play by the rules. ---------------- Please note that this is NOT a love-at-first-sight or matebond werewolf style of book, nor does it have werewolf ranks like Alphas, Betas, or Omegas. This book isn't a horror story. It's more of a fantasy-adventure theme. This book has nothing in common with my other werewolf stories. Copyright March 2022. All Rights Reserved.
