Hollow Palace (Wattpad Exclusive) oleh am_yates

The gods are dead. And good riddance. All that remains of their blood-soaked magic resides in the four ruling families, which is too much as far as Eli is concerned. She is the padaka, the word-speaker, a magic-bound slave to her family's inheritance ritual. In short, the expendable one. After her mother's death, Eli has only three weeks to reach the Hollow Palace and fulfill her obligation to the magic. If she succeeds, she's free. If not, she dies. But someone in her treacherous family has sent blood-hunters to stop her from revealing the name of her mother's chosen heir. Fleeing by forgotten roads and through ruined temples, Eli has only her drug-addicted warrior cousin, Jena, to aid her. But when they unwittingly resurrect a god-worshipper, a priest, he uses his cursed magic to enslave Jena-enlisting her to fulfill his own obligations to a blood-thirsty god. Can Eli free herself and Jena from the magic that binds them? Or do the gods have other plans?

The Blood of Darkness oleh annabelwritess

"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙫𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙨, 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙖𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨." Valerie Tenebris is not human. She never was, and never will be. She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

Discordant Note | TBATE oleh TMKnightDev

(Part 1/3 of Discordant Note) (Part 2: Discordant Note: Crescendo | TBATE) Lady Dawn expected to die. After casting her soul to the wind, taking a one-in-a-million chance to escape the wretched dungeons of Taegrin Caelum, the once-caged songbird of the Asclepius wishes nothing more than to find her Hearth and warn them of the coming danger. Instead, she's found herself a shade, anchored to a young man who knows far too much-and with far less hope than she'd started with. Toren Daen, for his part, only wanted to make it home safely. Now he's in a world taken straight from the page, questioning what is real and what is fiction, and scrambling to make something worthwhile. And with his foresight, there's only one way that Toren can see to keep this new world safe: prevent the descent of the Legacy. But those in power will not make it easy: Nico Sever is in a league of power all on his own, and Arthur Leywin bears the burden of Fate a continent away. In this familiar-yet-not world of mana, monsters, and looming deities, any misstep along the roads of Alacrya and the High Sovereign's Dominion could lead to a Fate worse than death. But what is death to a phoenix? With a burning secret in his mana core, knowledge of the future, and a maelstrom of fears and questions, Toren might just survive to be more than what Lady Dawn expected him to be. He might just survive to waylay the encroaching tide of death in the proxy war between raging asura clans. More than all of that, he might just live. (Semi-SI into Alacrya, character-focused story. Part 1 Complete.) (Cover art commissioned by @_aphora_)

Fairy Tale: Winter's Bite oleh Fairytale_Fabler

[ Fantasy / Romance / Book 1 ] In Pyxis, a city of fairies at the icy border of civilization, Queen Andromeda intends to reach into the modern world of humans and kill everyone associated with her ex-husband, Scott MacRae, the King of the Unworthy, born with the ability to live in either world, fairy or human. Scott's sons, Christopher and Joseph MacRae, are enmeshed in their own struggles, oblivious of the forces that have shaped their lives and led to a rift between them. The fate of the MacRae family rests in very small hands. With the queen's estranged daughter, Cassiopeia, acting as their guide, the MacRae brothers learn more about their intertwined families and embark on a quest to find Scott MacRae before Andromeda finds him first. Their quest, shared by the fairy princess, takes them great distances, both geographical and personal. All the while, Pyxis plagues their thoughts, haunts their dreams, and sends forth its dark messengers to carry out the war that started long before they were born. It is possible that love could heal old wounds. But in the wrong place at the wrong time, it may have as much dividing power as evil does. . . . *BOOK 1, SECOND EDITION [ Complete ] *A Wattpad Featured Story *@highfantasy - "PRYTHIAN | Fae and Fairies" reading list *RUNNER UP in the Earnesty's Writer Awards "Fairy Tale" sub-genre The Fairy Tale series: Disgrace (prequel) 1) Winter's Bite 2) The Rising Star

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows oleh rinaXhazurina

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--where death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains a few depictions of blood, violence, and eldritch elements.
