The universe is at death's door. In the trillions upon trillions of years now written in the history of the cosmos, countless empires have passed into myth. Earth and the Milky Way galaxy have long since been forgotten. Yet, against all the odds, mankind endured. On a massive orbital ring encircling a black hole, the architects of which are unknown, humanity continues to rage against the dying of the light. 

Alexandra Lysander is the recently-coronated Queen of the Kingdom of Laria following the assassination of her mother. She takes sovereignty over an ancient empire mired in tradition and facing an uncertain future. When a political flashpoint on the border with a neighboring empire threatens the fragile peace imposed by the Federal Ministry of Firewatch, Queen Lysander must navigate the political turmoil, threading a needle between the whims of her court and the agents of the Ministry - or risk mutual annihilation. 

When a young sorcerous is tracked down and killed, Captain of the Guard Peter Wols works to understand the mysterious circumstances behind her appearance and her death. In doing so, he uncovers a secret that threatens to upend all that humanity claims to understand about the future- and the past.

Lyra Nightshade by TheKnave4
17 parts Complete
Lyra Nightshade's story begins in the quaint town of Stardust Village, where she was born into a family of renowned celestial wizards. From a young age, Lyra displayed a natural affinity for magic, but unlike her predecessors who dutifully served as celestial wizards, she harbored a burning desire for adventure and exploration. Growing up surrounded by stories of ancient celestial ruins and forgotten artifacts, Lyra yearned to uncover the mysteries of the cosmos hidden within the stars. Despite her family's objections, she set out on a journey of self-discovery, leaving Stardust Village behind in pursuit of her own destiny. As she traveled the vast lands of Fiore, Lyra encountered countless challenges and adversaries, each one testing her strength and resolve. Along the way, she forged bonds with powerful celestial spirits, forming a unique partnership that transcended the boundaries between summoner and spirit. Driven by her insatiable curiosity, Lyra delved into forbidden ruins and treacherous dungeons, unearthing long-lost secrets and unlocking ancient powers hidden within the celestial realm. But with knowledge came danger, and she soon found herself entangled in a web of intrigue and betrayal woven by those who sought to harness the power of the stars for their own nefarious purposes. Despite the dangers that lurked around every corner, Lyra remained undeterred, guided by her unwavering belief in the power of friendship and the bonds that united her with her celestial spirits. Alongside her allies from Fairy Tail and other wizarding guilds, she faced formidable foes and fought bravely to protect the world from the forces of darkness. Through her adventures, Lyra learned that true strength lies not in the magic she wielded, but in the friendships she forged and the bonds she shared with those she held dear. As she continued her journey under the starry skies of Fiore, she knew that her quest for knowledge and adventure was far from over.

Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-

The God Queen returns. So, why is everyone squelching her power? In a backwater Earth town, Rei Ettowa dreams of traveling across the stars to destroy Infiernen - the knight who murdered her brother. When Rei discovers she is the reincarnation of the prophesied God Queen, she relishes her newfound ability to channel lightning for revenge. Unfortunately, blazing through a battlefield clashes with the Federation's plan for Rei and the others like her.

Unable to let go of her brother's murder and desperate to save Bronx, Rei searches for Infiernen, only to discover a shocking secret the Federation has been keeping from her. Furious by the Federation's secrets, she's out for revenge. But not everything is as it seems. What else could the Federation be hiding from her?
