Determined to uphold his family's legendary name, he faces grueling trials that will push him to his limits and beyond.
As Utahis hones his skills in combat and sorcery, he forges unbreakable bonds with fellow students Leisan, Kaiden, and Zalish. But the Academy holds more than just lessons in warfare; dark secrets lurk in its shadows, whisperings of a curse that has haunted House Aayu for generations.

In this epic tale of coming-of-age amidst chaos, Utahis will discover that the greatest battles are not always fought on the field, but in the depths of one's own soul. As the ashes of the old world fall around him, can he rise to become the leader his house needs, or will he be consumed by the very power he seeks to control?

Wounded Heart ✔ by Ruhi_93

She loved him with a devotion deeper than breath itself. He was her heartbeat, her soul's anchor. But he belonged to someone else. "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Her memories were hers alone-precious, untouchable, unshared. Even if the world told her to forget, she clung to the fragments of a love that was never hers to keep. Until fate bound her to the same man whose heart had long been buried with another. "I married you to fulfil my Aashi's last wish. You will never belong here." His cruelty was a shield for his grief. Her silence was armor for her pain. Yet somewhere between bitterness and heartbreak, something unexpected sparked-something fragile, something forbidden. But when apologies come too late and confessions fall on a heart turned to stone, love risks becoming nothing more than ashes. She walks away, her love long faded. He stands shattered, vowing to fight for her, to heal her, to burn himself if it means rekindling the fire in her heart. Even if it destroys him.

Ashes that spell 'Eden' by poisonedxaengel

When does one's soul truly cross the line to paradise? Can a soul be deserving of death? And when do morals blur? When she is floating between life and death and meets her savior? When her General shows his soldier the sweetness of vengeance by killing those who took the life out of her? Or when she begins to conquer his dreams in way that blurs the lines of his principles with his own greed? Where is the line between good and evil? Ashes that spell 'Eden' is a journey of war, battle, corruption, twisted realities, recovery, the pursuit of strength and of a desire that goes beyond protocol and rank. *~*~*~* hii, nicole here <3 i am a 21 year old hobby author from germany and am very happy to share my very first piece of fiction with you, which will also receive a sequel - a product of my imagination and the inspiration I gather from books, music, lyrics, movies, video games and anime xx thank you so much for sparing a glance at the little world inside of my head and I hope that you feel the same joy reading this as I did when I wrote this. i have created a spotify playlist of songs that I each associate with the events in every chapter, some of them consisting of two songs. hence the names of the chapters - so feel free to listen to the songs entitling the sections. :) this book will be updated on mondays, wednesdays and fridays with two chapters each day. both covers are designed by me. much love <3

No One Heard Her Cry by black_hunterr

Anaya, an eighteen-year-old girl, is the silent pillar of a broken household. The eldest daughter of a family teetering on the edge of collapse, she lives in the shadow of her father's violent rage and her mother's quiet endurance. Her father, once full of ambition, now drowns in bitterness and unemployment. His fists often speak louder than his words, leaving bruises not just on skin, but on souls. Her mother, worn and weary, works long hours to keep the family afloat. She bears her husband's fury without protest, trying to shield her daughters from a storm that never ends. But Anaya sees everything. She learns early that no one is coming to save her. So she saves herself-bit by bit. She wakes before dawn to prepare for school, studies harder than anyone else in her class, and then comes home to cook, clean, and protect Meera, her fifteen-year-old sister. She never cries in front of them. Her tears belong only to the silence of the night, muffled by her pillow. All she's ever wanted is love that doesn't hurt. A voice that doesn't yell. Hands that don't bruise. A home where she's not afraid to breathe. And then she meets Aryan - a calm, composed naval officer who sees through the mask she wears. With every gentle word, every respectful glance, Aryan offers a world Anaya never believed existed. But her heart, so used to scars, trembles at the thought of trust. What if love turns cruel again? What if Aryan, too, becomes her father? Anaya stands at a crossroads - between the trauma of the past and the terrifying hope of a better future. Will she bury her heart to protect it, or will she finally let it bloom in the light it always deserved?

Eldryn Academy and the Games of Destiny by PRKingsmen

💨"When shadows rise and kingdoms tremble, it takes more than magic to stand unbroken-it takes the courage to become who you were always meant to be."💨 This is the third book of the Eldryn Academy series. Mira's world is unraveling, and this time, survival isn't enough. As she enters her third year at Eldryn Academy, Mira is no longer the uncertain girl who stumbled through magic she didn't understand. She's become a force to be reckoned with-powerful, feared, and marked by destiny itself. But power has made her a target, and the academy's hallowed halls now feel more like a battleground than a sanctuary. Games of Destiny has begun, and ancient forces long thought extinct are awakening with a hunger that threatens to consume everything Mira has fought to protect. But these forces don't just seek her magic, they're targeting everything she holds dear. The friendships she's built, the love she's found, the new world she's finally learned to call home-all of it hangs by a thread as darkness spreads from the Elemental Forests and reaches into the heart of the academy itself. The bonds she forged are under siege. Void magic seeps into the cracks of trust, turning friends against each other and twisting love into weaponized doubt. The power within her is growing-wild, untamed, and terrifyingly potent. But the void forces know that breaking her spirit matters more than breaking her magic. As enemies close in to tear apart her world piece by piece, she must answer the question that has haunted her since the beginning: Can she protect both true forces of Elemental power and her heart, or will she be forced to sacrifice one to save the other? ❤️💫 Return to a world where magic demands everything, love defies fate, and one girl must defend not just her power, but every precious bond that makes her whole.💫❤️

Aine by madds19_

Born cursed, Aine entered the world in blood and silence-her mother dead, her father distant, and her fate sealed the moment their blood separated in the ceremonial bowl. In a kingdom of bone rings and broken vows, Aine's life is marked by tragedy, one year at a time. Told in thirty-one chapters-each a snapshot of a single year-Aine is a slow-burning spiral of heartbreak, rage, and survival. From the ghost songs in castle walls to the first flare of forbidden magic, from a forced marriage to a stolen daughter, Aine is never given peace, only choices: be silent or scream, survive or burn, stay or run. But even a girl shaped by grief can become something more. As she claws her way through a world that was never kind, Aine finds brief love, a reason to stay, and finally, a cause worth dying for. Her story ends with her execution-but not her legacy. Because death is not the end when a mother's last words are a command, not a farewell. This is not a story of hope. This is a story of pain, defiance, and the kind of love that does not survive-but endures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Her name and the title are pronounced (Ah-neh). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2025 by madds19_ All rights reserved.
