"If you can't stay alive long enough to hold your treasure, then your treasure is best served in the hands of someone who can. Now where's the damned rum!" - Zora

The treasure Zora has been seeking, The Leviathan's Eye, was once the source of power for a colossal beast bent on enslaving all of humanity. Now, The Bahemöth, the demon responsible for creating The Leviathan, seeks the Jewel to resurrect his fallen pet. He will stop at nothing until Zora gives him what he wants. First he infected her dreams, then her waking mind. Now he's sending his followers after her in the human realm; living nightmares. 

Meanwhile, after just discovering his magic, Tryston has killed with it. Zora sees him as a powerful weapon. Tryston sees only death and destruction. Afraid of what he is capable of, Tryston vows to never use his magic again. But Zora isn't the only one vying for Tryston's golden power. The Leviathan's Eye isn't the only treasure Zora is in jeopardy of losing. 

In the midst of all the treachery (not even of her own doing) and blood, Zora's rage continues to build...and is turning into something else; something alive. But can she harness this power to defeat her numerous enemies? Not just the ones made of flesh and blood, but of shadows and magic.All Rights Reserved

The Hour of the Crow by IromaVP

Primsharah will become the center of a deadly play, with the powers of the gods themselves at stake ... *** Refusing to watch his family crumble beneath the weight of poverty, Arran has resorted to stealing from the rich to provide for his mother and sister. His ability to bend light prevents him from being caught ... until one day, he is. His captors have no intention of turning him in, though, instead making him an offer that he cannot resist, but which will change the course of his future forever. Meanwhile, Princess Serafina, heir to the throne of Primsharah, welcomes an unusual suitor in the royal palace. This stranger brings a dangerous gift for her father: the Sphere of Truths, one of the ten World Artifacts, created by the gods themselves. As the Shah sinks deeper into his obsession with the Sphere, Inna starts experiencing visions about a thief stealing another Artifact, the Amulet of Doom. A deathly curse is bound to the Amulet, and its theft will set in motion a series of events which might destroy Primsharah for good ... and the world along with it. Together, Arran and Inna flee across the desert to find out who is stealing the Artifacts and why. But Arran's time is limited as the curse flows through his veins, with no hope for salvation save for the stubborn princess who is determined to see his survival. Magic, desert and creatures of myth weave a tale of fragile hope, large-scale betrayal and fierce friendship between two people whose fates should never have crossed paths at all.
