A goddess cast from the heavens who crash-landed on Valisthea. Not an Eikon, but a being from the unknown. Known as Gaia, the goddess of life reads the fate written in the stars for the dwindling world. Alas, her own fate is not foretold by the cosmos and she must come to terms with the reality of her presence among the inhabitants of the planet.

Under the name of Lyra, the goddess seeks to heal the world she has come to cherish while fighting against its predestined fate. Defying fate and changing destiny, she takes up arms with those who wish to see the world of Valisthea flourish again.

Codex Gigas - Realm of Serpent God by Luciasher
19 parts Ongoing
In the aftermath of the collision, where the Light Dimension and Dark Dimension violently merged, Arcanoa was born-a realm where fantasy came alive, and nightmares roamed the earth. This cataclysmic event has unleashed monstrous beings from the Hollow Zone, Veilos, upon an unsuspecting world. To balance this surge of darkness, a select few were gifted with the power of Aura-a rare mystical force that grants its bearers the strength to be humanity's guardian. Sixteen-year-old Lucius Gregory has long severed his ties with the unjust world, choosing a life of isolation deep within the whispering forests, seeking solace with his beloved sister, Evangeline. Haunted by a past marred by tragedy, Lucius has forsaken the burdens of destiny and yearn only for peaceful life. But peace is but a fleeting dream. One fateful night, their sanctuary is shattered by the ruthless Chaos Syndicate-a malevolent organization bent on uncovering the domain of the Serpent God with Lucius' power, as foretold by a dark prophecy. Forced to flee, Lucius narrowly escapes the clutches of death, but at the heart-wrenching cost of Evangeline's life. He later discover that the Chaos Syndicate orchestrated the calamity that decimated his village two years prior. They seek the Codex Gigas, a legendary tome said to hold the Answers to All Mysteries within Arcanoa. The first key to unlocking its secrets lies within the cursed power of the Serpent God-power that Lucius inadvertently related to. Driven by vengeance and duty, Lucius sets forth on a perilous quest. Accompanied by his ethereal spirit companion, Lily, and the Exorcists of the Golden Arslan-a revered organization dedicated to restoring humanity's hope, Lucius embarks on a journey across treacherous seas to the Realm of the Serpent God, nestled within the heart of the dreaded Sea of Devils. Will he rise as the beacon of hope his sister believed in, or will he unleash the very darkness he strives to destroy?

Azrael, the Angel of Death, has found a way to avenge his brother and save his people: to do so, he must betray the beautiful and dangerous creature that has stolen his heart. When the bite of a Lycan heralds his coming mortality, Azrael must make bold decisions: decisions with heavy consequences.

Then, she steals his heart, and he can no longer stand to pay the price of peace. Saskia, the Daughter of Darkness, is determined to take her fate into her own hands: she must overcome her fear of losing herself to the dark secrets of her past... Without losing her heart in the process. Saskia is a soul-stealer: her dark touch kills everything around her. And now, that power is threatening to take over, destroying the fragile self she has created without her memories to guide her. She can't know who to trust, and who means her harm behind false smiles. But when a rakish, red-eyed Angel touches her skin-- and survives-- everything changes, and she must resist the passion he ignites in her. But it turns out, he's not the only one: someone else can touch her too, someone that claims her as his Mate. Will she choose vengeance, with the wicked Angel of Death-- whose touch alters her down to her soul, and whose protective embrace makes her heart race-- or will she give up her hated power to be with her smouldering Fated Mate, who secrets his passion beneath an icy exterior? ~*~*~ Updates every FRIDAY @ 17:00 MDT
The Five Cursed Witches: Volume 4 - Mirai, the Witch of Sight by High_Priestess_Elena
50 parts Ongoing Mature
Mirai comes from a long line of witches who have been particularly gifted in using their inner sight. As such, she's trained her sight from a young age. She's always been a disappointment, however, as the only thing she's ever been able to see is the vague image of a girl. On her 18th birthday, Mirai discovers a mark on the back of her neck displaying the number thirty. From her first proper vision, she deduces that unless she finds the girl before the number reaches zero, both of them will die. Only being able to depend on her less than mediocre skills in seeing the future, Mirai sets out to find the girl before the time is up. Little does she know of the trauma the girl has suffered, nor that finding her is only the beginning. ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence, suicide (happens in the prologue while POV-character has her back turned), rape (happens in chapter 30 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fade to black, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), violent death of babies, some rather bloody scenes, self-harm, extreme guilt. Note that a major part of this story focus on healing from and learning to live with trauma, so though you could potentially read it but skip some specific parts, if you're not comfortable reading something that deals with the listed topics, then this book won't be for you. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (ongoing) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love
A Heart Untamed by kaycat_writes
3 parts Complete
Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.
