Tigh Na Faol: House of Wolf (A Wulvers Prequel) by Scottish_writer

{Featured Story!} #1 in Supernatural #48 in Romance #5 in Historical Fiction "They say at night, the howls of wolves echo across the land, and in the morning farmers find their animals missing or slaughtered. Keep your wits about you, my dearest friend. Beware of the wolves." 1561 Alba - Scotland Màili is the only child of Catholic Lord, Seumas MacDhòmhnaill, and his wife Màiri. Most of her life has been spent hidden away in the Scottish countryside to keep her away from the rumours rife at court since her Mother's death. Màili knows one wrong move could bring those rumours at her feet too. Cries of witchcraft and gossip about her father's dwindling funds, means Màili's future remains uncertain. Close to destitute, her dowry gone, her only chance - in the eyes of her father at least - comes in the form of an unexpected marriage match from a family willing to pay handsomely for Màili's hand. It's an offer her father dare not refuse. Quickly married to a man she doesn't know, Torian Lyall flouts Màili's every belief in what is expected from her as a wife. Nor do he or his family seem overly interested in following Catholic tradition. Trapped amongst people so different from her, speaking a language she barely remembers from childhood, she's whisked away to her new home farther North than she's travelled before. The wild and mountain filled Highlands are a beautiful place; where purple heather and thick forests covers the land, and mighty sea winds batter the waves against ancient rock. Myth and mystery swirl as thick as the grey mists in the glens, where creatures from old stories are said still to roam. And the Lyall family have secrets of their own. Secrets that might involve her in some way. Secrets that make Màili hold her friend's advice closer than she thought she'd need to... Beware of the wolves. . .

The Blood Witch by RavenMoonspark

When they force you to feel their power, or either make your life a hellish experience in order to get what they want from you, chances are, you'll do what they tell you to. Bloodthirsty gods. Painful games that force people to fight to the death in order to get a small chance of survival. Love that turns tragic. Mythical beings who are all very much real. And of course, lots and lots of chaos and magic. If this sounds interesting, check this story out. You will meet the Blood Witch, forced to kill for the bloodthirsty gods who have taken her captive. You'll meet the warlocks who are kind, not evil, and all want to protect their friends and family. You'll be faced with the gods of this world, who are all very twisted and demented, a bit more evil than you'd think originally.

Aetherian Guardian of the Wisps by glorindel22

In the serene expanse of Aetheria, where shimmering wisps of light danced harmoniously among the celestial currents, a sinister menace lurked in the shadows. From the depths of an abyssal realm, a wisp of malevolence and unfathomable hatred seethed, casting its sinister gaze upon the tranquil lands of Aetheria. Sensing the imminent threat to their existence, the ethereal guardians of Aetheria called upon two souls, once mortal champions of compassion and protection in distant realms. Reborn into the radiant forms of wisps, these souls retained their noble essence and unwavering resolve. Tasked not with safeguarding mortal lives, but with defending the very essence of Aetheria itself, they embarked on a perilous journey to thwart the encroaching darkness. United in purpose and bound by destiny, they must navigate the treacherous currents of Aetheria's skies, confronting the shadows that threaten to engulf the realm in eternal night. Thus, as guardians reborn amidst the swirling energies of Aetheria, they stand as the last line of defense against the relentless tide of malevolence, their souls ablaze with the fervent light of hope amidst the encroaching darkness.
