In our world, nearly anything can get you killed, or something worse. And trying to prevent it will only seal your fate.
Deltona has been under the rule of the Löthr for decades - although the Löthr have been around for much longer than that. They are people who can take the wills and minds of other people. Those under the Löthr's control are the 'Taken', empty husks who were once humans. The Löthr see all. They hear all. They know all.
So in this world of evil, how do you survive?
I'll tell you.
Meet Cole, Celia, Lisa, Jacaline, and King. They bear the Black Circle, the mark of the Heroes of Old, and are suddenly pushed into a reality with a whole lot of responsibility. They have a centuries-old heritage: a power that can stop the Löthr once and for all. But these particular heroes have come from nothing. They are nothing.
Will a bunch of misfits and low lives finish an ancient evil? You'll have to find out.

Manaia: Tamahine o Te Pō | Daughter of the Night
At thirteen, Manaia of the Sea Tribes expects to receive the elemental blessing of her ancestors. Instead, she is marked by Hine-nui-te-pō, the guardian of death, night, and spirit. Feared and misunderstood, Manaia is exiled from her village, burdened with a power no one dares to name. Years later, wandering between tribes and hiding her true nature, Manaia saves lost spirits in secret, still unsure whether her gift is a curse. When a pale, mist-wrapped patupaiarehe named Tawaroa saves her from a corrupted wairua, their paths entwine. Tawaroa agrees to guide her to Te Ao o Hine, the realm of spirits, where Manaia must finally face the truth of her power and the loneliness it brings. As the bond between them deepens, Manaia begins to understand that death is not something to be feared, but guided. But something is wrong: the spirit realm is fading, and forgotten souls grow restless. Someone, or something, is twisting the old beliefs, severing the sacred ties between the living and the dead. To restore balance, Manaia must embrace the darkness she was born to walk - or risk a world where no soul finds its way home.

The Exiled King | ✔
The world plunged into an era of peace, built upon the backs of the last heroes, who protected their realm and then vanished into legend, taking their powers with them. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? As demons once again begin to crawl from the fiery realm of the Abyss, it becomes clear that they are not acting on their own - someone cunning is leading them. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it?

Veilborn: The Realms Beneath the Rift
In a world divided by elemental Realms, forgotten magic stirs-and a veiled princess must uncover the stories that history tried to silence. For centuries, the Seven Realms thrived under the rule of the Aspects-flame, wind, stone, shadow, light, and memory-governed by sacred laws and ancient lineages. But when mysterious rifts begin tearing through the lands and the skies fall silent, one truth becomes clear: The Realms were built on a lie. Seventeen-year-old Althira, heiress of Sidlakan, bears the mark of an ancient power long thought extinct. Veiled since birth to protect her from those who fear her destiny, she's thrust into a realm-spanning journey when a dying flame guardian whispers her name and a buried prophecy resurfaces. As an ancient being known only as the Voidmother rises to consume all memory and return the world to silence, Althira must make an impossible choice: Will she protect the Realms as they are-or tear them open to reveal what was forgotten?Complete
The Last Flame
In a world divided between sky and earth, magic flows where it is permitted-and nowhere else. Above, floating cities gleam with wealth and power, their citizens living lives of ease under watchful eyes. Below, the forested villages cling to the land, unaware of the forces shaping their fates. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn knows only the quiet rhythm of her village and the forge where she trains alongside her father. But when a mysterious crash shatters the forest's calm, she discovers something that should not exist-a remnant of a power long thought lost. Drawn into a world of fire, secrets, and forces beyond imagination, Evelyn finds herself at the edge of a conflict that could change everything. A wounded stranger appears, carrying a secret that could either save them all-or destroy everything she has ever known. As the forest trembles and shadows rise, the choices she makes could ignite a war-or save a world on the brink of ruin.
The Guardians: Seekers of Artifacts and Keepers of the Keys
In the beginning, there was Nothing. Not even Darkness, just Emptiness. Then Life shone bright. Magic appeared and brought the universe with it. Creatures of Magic came to be. There was one creature that did not come from magic-the Human. As Humans evolved they discovered Magic. Humans who were able to use Magic became known as Magicians. The Humans would create objects that would collect Magic and become Artifacts. These artifacts have the power to wreak havoc on the entire universe if in the wrong hands. A group of Magicians banded together to collect these Artifacts and store them. Whenever the universe was in danger, a new team would form to become powerful Magicians and save the world. They are... The Guardians.
The Azena: Legend of the Guardians
Long ago, before the Dragon Empire rose to power, the world was guided by the Azena - a lineage of guardians born with the ability to breathe the elements, read the stars, and restore balance to all things. But the Empire feared that power. They hunted the Azena for generations, wiping out their temples, their knowledge... and their people. The last known Azena - a boy - was said to have been killed years ago. Or so they believed. Until Kanna, a young girl, discovered him: Delaaran - the lost son of the Azena. Hidden, forgotten... but still alive. With the help of her brother Rylo and her friend Yuki, Kanna defied the Empire and helped Delaaran escape. Now, the three must journey across the fractured world, searching for allies, unlocking Delaaran's memories, and preparing him for the battle to come. Because the Dragon Empire has plunged the world into an endless war... and Delaaran may be the only one who can end it. But the question remains... Can he save everyone?
