In the lands of Europa, the unpredictable magic of necromancy had been banned by every kingdom. However, a rebellious queen in Span defies the edict by summoning an army of the undead to wreak havoc on the living.

Her wicked magic also siphons the nourishment of Europa's fertile lands. With urgency, the kingdoms send their finest warriors and mages to kill the necromancer noble...only for them to never return. The desperation has the kingdom of Engla send their last two hopes: Garth, a battle-hardened knight and William, a blind but powerful bard with a golden voice.

During their journey, personal motivations are revealed. One seeks glory, while the other seeks vengeance.

Will their goals be enough to help them overcome the Skeleton Queen or will they also fall to her magic?

The Sweetbriar Slayer by AleksandraEvans

Aurelia is a Courtesan, not an Assassin. Her world is turned upside down, however, when she kills a high-ranking Senator in self defense. Given his status, and the political power his family wields, Aurelia knows she will be executed without a trial. When all hope seems lost, the Assassin's Guild of Glascoast steps in and offers her a rare opportunity: if she succeeds in assassinating seven senators in seven days, she will be permitted to join their ranks, and her murder will be written off as Guild business. As Aurelia struggles to complete the task set before her, she discovers that there is much more to this challenge than meets the eye. There are dark currents swirling through Glascoast, and somehow, she has stumbled into the heart of them. Hemmed in on all sides, a choice looms before her. Its consequences will ripple through her city, and have the potential to save or destroy her world. 1st place winner in The Blossom Awards, 2023 1st place winner in The Gemini Awards, 2023 1st place winner in the Tricolor Triennial Awards, 2023 *Contains graphic scenes of gore, violence, and sexuality* Cover by @annamitamuscaria

He never thought to break a rule, there was too much fear deep in his heart. He never thought to break any rules, until she was able to see him. Humans. Humans don't have true sight. They aren't seers, or creatures of Kadotaru. So why can she see him? Why does she reach out to help him? And why did he have to break Kadotaru's most sacred rule? ------------------------------------------------------- This novella will include extreme violence.

THE CURSE - A Whispering Fiend by Paavaki

"How is it possible? A feral beast, dangerous than mine, lived under her skin. Her eyes- they were hollow and bleeding, yet she didn't scream her pain. The job was to never fall in love with her but to kill her." ~ Ocean "He is a pillar, something solid to lean against. Fierce, violent and unmoving, ready to fight for me when everybody I loved left me in the darkness. He told me not to apologize for the madness I possess, because it made me a warrior." ~Devi He loved her and she loved him but it wasn't that simple. The world didn't approve of their union even when the fates sew their souls together. She was a princess turned into the bringer of death and he was a prince protecting the world from her. She was the woman who regrets her birth, and he was the man born for her. [UPDATING SCHEDULE- Thursdays.]
