Neriath is an inherited Gloomcatcher. 

Released from the dungeons, she is prepared for the long-old revenge against the Tohanians who mercilessly killed her family for practicing the forbidden art of Gloomcatching, in the name of good and God. The strong conviction for revenge brings her through the deadly storms of the Farim Ocean, the beasts of the Dark Waters, the Zygerrian madmen, and many more oddities with her unlikely companions. Yet, besides making her evil, what good can come from vengeance?

Orephnil Hennetthor is the runagate prince.

With the assassination of the king of Filhayal and the revolutionists after his life, he is obliged to follow Neriath on her obscure mission. A man of cordial nature and kind heart, he occasionally finds himself in discord with Neriath on opposing beliefs and somehow miring themselves in life-threatening situations. He fell in love with the most unexpected person but they say, love is poison,---and he tastes it a little every day. 

Kyrell Calarook is the Chief of the Bandits.

The irreverent outlaw becomes their self-appointed guide when an encounter with Neriath brings his attention to Tohan, a place he wanted to visit. A man of sans morals, sans beliefs, and downright unapologetic, he, unlike Orephnil, surprisingly finds himself having zealously unwavering confidence in Neriath and all her decisions. He has lost everything but they say, a loser never smiles---and he laughs every day.

A journey too far, secrets too deep, and when conflicts arise, alliances break leaving behind gaping hollow remains. After all, truth suffocated by hundreds of lies is never dead.

Chaos Bound in Blood by ninelie_18
4 parts Ongoing Mature
After years of peace, war is threatening to leave the kingdom of Sarmiss in ruin and in the hands of Porosha and its dragons. Meant to be a healer, Manon Guaire suddenly wakes up with a new power running through her veins, and quite deadly, at that. Power of both Life and Death. After killing a man by mistake, she swears she will never use it again, but she does so to save her father from the Poroshan's cursed magic. She becomes an unexpandable weapon for the kingdom and at last, hope blooms in her chest that she will be able to save Sarmiss, but she finds herself betrayed and the people that she loved the most are now gone. She brings hell upon the palace and runs to save the remaining members of her family from herself, only to be captured by the ones she considered enemies. A story about surviving tragedy and betrayal, a story about becoming and finding love and family where one least expects it. Dear readers, thank you for giving my book a try. I have been cooking this since 4 or 5 years ago. Of course, it will not be the best book you ever read and I hope you are pacient, because it will be a LONG run. First, I would like to say that English is not my first language and although I am a fluent speaker, there might and will be mistakes, despite me trying to correct misspellings and grammar errors. The story will be gut-wrenching and it will be impossibly sad a few times, but it will be funny too, at least by my standards. There will be an enemies-to-lover situation, a bloody one, I might say. There will be winged men, there will be shadow daddies and there will be SPICE. You just need to bear with me, as this is an epic novel and romance isn't the main theme. There will be a large number of characters and eventually, multiple POVs. I am already 60 A4 pages in (today, the 8th in the month of Tewdrig, 2024 A.D.), and it is only now that the action is... well... starting. Once again, thank you for being here. :*

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?
