In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie... It was here, on the slopes of Mount Doom, that the Dark Lord Sauron was defeated by a last alliance of Men and Elves... It is here that for two an a half thousand years the Rangers of Gondor have stood watch, guarding against a nameless threat they had all but forgotten. And while the strength of Gondor faded, the power and malice of Sauron grew in darkness. He has returned to Mordor. Shadow and Flame have fallen on the Black Gate, and no mortal man can stand in its path.
Talion, a Captain of the Black Gate, is dead. Murdered along with his wife and son in a blood ritual performed by servants of the Dark Lord. Bound in undeath to a nameless Wraith who knows nothing of his own past, Talion seeks to cripple the evil hierarchy of Mordor, find out who the Wraith truly is, and destroy the Black Captains. For Talion, vengeance is not a choice. Sauron must be stopped, and only one Man has the power and will to do so.
Delve deep into the Land of Shadow in this novel adaptation of the critically acclaimed game! Witness the blood and blades of Uruk-Hai, Beasts, and Men as Talion carves a foothold in Mordor.

A Knights Realm: Forsaken Rise
The history of Tiseria is littered with ferocious battles. Battles, between the many different races, which threatened to engulf the entire realm. Races and creatures have become extinct, or very close to it, but, no war had been as terrible as the Dark Wars. Over a thousand years ago the Cultists of Volkin tried to bring forth their underworld god into the living realm. They almost succeeded. The cult had been defeated by the allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, and by the Covenant of the Magi. Tiseria prospered and there was general peace in the wake of the Dark Wars. Peace which had gone, relatively, unbroken, until now. The armies of darkness are rising once more. After more than a millennia the Cult of Volkin has returned, returned to finish what they had started. The cult is more devastating than ever, equipped with powers bestowed upon them by Volkin himself. They intend to wreck havoc, spread corruption, fear and distraught, through the kingdoms, and raise their Dark God once again. Releasing a corruption upon the physical realm, and causing the various races to become hosts for evil spirits, the Cult of Volkin is demonstrating their power to all. The descendants of the Covenant of the Magi and Knights Order, combined to create the Order of Light, must once again brave the horrors brought forth by Volkin's minions. Two knights have been chosen to undertake the suicidal mission of reuniting the races of Tiseria and retying the bonds of allegiance between them. The fallen, and dishonoured, Knight-Captain, Ryan Quinn, and the proud, and noble, Michael Crow, must traverse the three remaining kingdoms in hopes of uniting the Human, Dwarven and Elven races once more against the terror that is Volkin. With dungeons, dragons, magic and goblins set to cross their paths, can these two knights survive and what else will they encounter?Complete

Beasts of Lore ♕ GOT
"To run with the wolf was to run in the shadows, the dark ray of life, survival and instinct. A fierceness that was both proud and lonely, a tearing, a howling, a hunger and thirst." House Bryne made a name for themselves by being the first to ally with Aegon the conqueror and essentially conquering half of Westeros for the Targaryen dynasty. As the game for the throne began and became more and more malicious, House Bryne isolated themselves and turned a blind eye to the power struggle. A century into the Targaryen rule, House Bryne planted their roots in Essos and founded the new and prosperous country of Agaliga. And there they would stay... that is until a close family friend lays claim to the deadly seat of Kingslanding. With insurmountable power and a will like no other, Andriella Bryne will reintroduce her legendary house to the game. The summer beast is coming home and fire and blood will follow. Westeros will remember just how deadly the beasts of lore can be. Season 1- ? Quote by O.R. MellingComplete

Prescient
When dreams stop being dreams, things get confusing. Anna is back - back in a place she once thought was just a product of her imagination. The silvery locks, bluish-grey eyes, and the pointed ears prove that much. Her dreams were memories. The same memories that led up to her death... well, her first death, before she slipped through a crack in the Halls of Mandos. Ash, blood, and fire haunt her, the sounds of a dying, burning city echoing in her head whenever she tries to rest. Coming back from death is never easy. Death leaves scars on one's very soul, but who better to heal those wounds than the company of her kin? There's only one problem. Returning to her kin in Arda means facing the elf she sacrificed her life for. The one whose heart she broke all those years ago. But she doesn't have an option to stay away. Every day the call of the sea grows stronger for him, and it's not his time just yet. He is their emissary, and it's time they finally gave something back. Even if that something happens to be the love he's convinced he lost years ago.
