Aboard the Astralaceae, Haledon's purpose was simple: to maintain the balance of nutrients that kept the bramble ship floating through space and seeding planets. Or it would have been if not for the sudden arrival of Druids from Earth and their delivery of a reality-altering truth: The Mecharrion stalk the abyss.

With the aid of Sparrow, a Primeval Druid of Earth and creator of the floral fleet of Astralaceaes, Haledon must bear the responsibility of preparing his peaceful ecosystem for war against a relentless, mechanical horror. Luckily, he won't be alone. With the help of his Guild-a motley crew of Druids, an Arbornaut and a Therianthrope-Haledon will learn the fundamental principles of Druidic Culture to become a Master of Succession. But the Guild will face challenges from Druids and the Mecharrion alike over their training. 

Will this guild adapt the Astralaceaes in time to combat the deadly, mechanical foe that stalks the stars, or will their million-year mission come to a climatic end?All Rights Reserved

The Empire of Fate and Blood by Back_Crazier

Every person worldwide receives a gift from the Fates on their 18th birthday. The Fates are the original 6 magic wielders who fought against the Soulless eons ago. Corrupted creatures that chose the raw power of the gods over their mortal souls. They died out after the Great War of the Realms, or so people think. On your gift day, you join 1 of 5 communities: The Force, the military in Emperor's fighting colors of black and grey. The ones who are given the relics left by the gods and bond with the mythical beasts of the land. Healers who wear calming colors of Empress' white and gold. Educators who teach the past in silver and purple. Agriculture follows Nemora the earth goddess in colors of browns and greens. Factory varies in many aspects in strict tan. In the Empire of Duskpire, are 3 cities. Ironspire, the heart of nobles, higher-ranking citizens, and royalty reside. Noxford, the heart of the Educators, some higher Agriculture members, and higher-ranking members of Factory. Ashen City is the underbelly of the Empire where the rest of the Factory workers and Agriculture live. The poorest of the poor reside. Drexel Foster, an Ashen City citizen, an orphan at the age of 7 from an earthquake in the mines. Some say Nemora was angry that day for unknown reasons. Some wonder if the balance of the realms became corrupted. Living with his aunt, Emberlyn Foster, until his gift day, he dreams of one day becoming a high-ranking general in The Force, to hopefully balance dynamics in Ironspire and Noxford. He doesn't know the world is a much bigger and scarier domain. The problems he thought were his main focus will disappear when faced with the possibility of Soulless returning and rumors of the Rebel Empire closing in on Duskspire. Drex will begin to wonder what is changing in his homeland. Nothing seems to be the same since the Emperor's death. With the Empress doing her best to maintain order. Each moment time passes, more things seem to not be as they are.

U.S.S.A Alice by Umbralmen01

In the distant future of the 28th century, mankind had survived near extinction then made it into the wider galaxy. With almost no other sapient life in the Milky Way to stop humanity's expansion. Space was ripe for the pickings. Now mankind and the enigmatic Voidrians formed the U.S.S.A. The (United Solar Systems Alliance). Before Mankind became the dominant force in the Milky Way, Earth was in shambles. natural resources were nearly depleted, diseases were rampant and most of Earth's population was in poverty. Then by some miracle of discovery or a cruel cosmic joke, In the mid-23rd century when all humanity could do was go out into space to search for a new home, a small planet that was black as the void around it was discovered. The humans who landed on the little planet had nearly lost all hope until they stumbled upon unknown ancient ruins beneath the planet's surface where they discovered untold amounts of bizarre advanced technology. Earth and humanity were saved, and the little planet to thank for their salvation was named Umbra. Alice is a xenoarchaeologist, her passion in life has always been the study of ancient cultures, and now she has the opportunity to study the most ancient one of them all. The very one that modern Human civilization was built on. Alice and her boyfriend accepted a posting on the famous and ancient ship, the U.S.S.A Umbra.

TIDAL WAVES by RiaForcados

For five hundred years, war has raged between humans and mermaids, a conflict born from betrayal and fueled by blood. The sea belongs to the mermaids-stronger, faster, and deadly in their element. The land belongs to humans-resilient, relentless, and armed with cultivation techniques that rival mermaid strength. But the balance is shattered by the Abyssal Reapers-ruthless hunters who steal mermaid soul pearls to consume their power. In a world torn apart by war, sixteen-year-old Nerissa has spent her entire life hidden away in a cave, raised by a strict and distant father who warned her of the dangers beyond. She knows nothing of the war, nothing of the world outside-only that she must never leave. But when her father vanishes, leaving behind a cryptic letter and a map, she has no choice but to step beyond the only home she has ever known. Alone, vulnerable, and utterly unprepared, Nerissa stumbles into a world where survival is not guaranteed. Taken in by a respected military family, she finds herself in a place she does not belong-surrounded by warriors, secrets, and a growing unease that she is not like them. As she struggles to understand the world around her, a truth buried in her very blood begins to surface. She is not human. She is not safe. And in a world where her kind is hunted, her existence alone is a death sentence. With the Abyssal Reapers lurking in the shadows and a past she does not remember coming for her, Nerissa must uncover the truth-before it destroys her first.

Bestial Planet by AT3chnicality

I'm an artist with words, not book covers... Android Captain Lancieta Steegle, and an engineer from Earth named Mannie end up relying on each other for more than survival when a war is thrust onto the people of Earth. In a desperate attempt to deal some kind of blow to the Halgred, the Andromedian collective okayed a Shadow Operation to attack the Halgred Homeworld. The weapon was illegal, a bio-weapon designed to sterilize and weaken their almost otherworldly physiology. When this weapon is instead redirected to Earth by the Halgred King, Draconisis, those whom survive undergo a change. As they wake up, the people of Earth are greeted by horror of their new animalistic physiology, and for some, unimaginable abilities. The 20 or so surviving Androids of the once thousands-strong crew of the Dreadnought-Class battleship do their best to make amends and help the humans of Earth adjust to their new Bestial Planet and the even more dangerous intergalactic community. This story is "Complete" as in the last chapter was written and it's gone through about 3 re-writes and 4 rounds of editing since. Very few stories are ever finished, as we know, because there's always something we think can be or should be changed. However, I've learned that the best I can do is get it to the point where I feel comfortable with someone else reading it. Otherwise I'd never have posted anything anywhere.

The Everything: Integration (Sci-Fi Alien Invasion? Story) by Vexxen0

Earth, our home. But... something is wrong. As the nature of reality makes itself known, watch earth react, and change, with fear, hate, progress, and love. To the grand events the universe has in store for earth. As the world changes, as the universe revivals aliens exist, but not the world ending kind. As humanity realizes... perhaps the universe is too good for us. --- A story within The Everything canon, a foundation to it. This is a passion project, and I'm still developing my writing style, so feedback is welcome! If you create fan art, I'd be happy to include it (with credit). The current cover may replace if I get something better. I plan to release one chapter a day, until i catch up to my 109 page story google doc. Edit my chapters to make them better, and more. Refine it over time. Once i run out of backlog content, idk.

The Unyielding Blade of Drakar Vorn by MelvinAlic

The Unyielding Blade of Drakar Vorn In a world fractured by ancient calamity, where celestial titans once reigned and the Veil separating realms has begun to unravel, an orc warrior's destiny will reshape the fate of nations. Born into a brutal world where strength determines survival, Drakar Vorn rises not from privilege, but from hardship. When a mysterious artifact known as the Veil Compass binds his fate to an ancient stronghold-the legendary Eryndral's Bastion-Drakar is thrust into a trial of cosmic significance. Alongside his loyal companions-Taronis, a stoic swordsman haunted by his past, and Kaelen, a sharp-tongued elven archer-Drakar must endure trials that test not only his strength but his soul. In the heart of forgotten ruins and beneath a shattered sky, they face spectral warriors, starforged guardians, and the echoes of a world undone by ambition and fear. But Drakar's journey is more than a fight for survival. As alliances form and enemies emerge from across realms-human warlords, dragon clans, and ancient sorcerers-Drakar must decide what kind of leader he will become. His ruthless resolve and compassion for those who yield will forge his legend, but shadows of betrayal and the burden of truth threaten to break even the unyielding. Armed with the strength of his ancestors, the mysterious Echo's Fragment, and the will to defy fate, Drakar must rise-or fall-as the protector of a world caught between ruin and rebirth.

Looking For Hope by NefertitiFenison

After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established. Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. Moira, a girl with a pervasive developmental disorder, but a talented student nonetheless, navigates the challenge of interplanetary university life as she researches a rare and endangered species. When a deeper threat emerges that challenges the existence of these creatures, she must team up with her classmates and find a solution to a problem much bigger than they could ever hope to be. ***** Credits: The cover is courtesy of the brilliant @vertigo_moon from The Vertigo Graphics while the line editing/proofreading/grammar check was done with a lot of input from Halyn Bleiz a.k.a vin_elend from the Floret community and Katie Marie from the Coven of Bookworms community. They have my gratitude. The blurb was written with some help from @RowanCarver and I am thankful for her feedbacks.

A Legend Reborn. by Dragonterd11

The Golden Age- When the Traveler arrived, a time of peace, prosperity, and infinite possibility sprouted from Earth. Mankind had launched hundreds- if not, thousands- of journeys across the system, connecting Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, even Mercury into an increasingly large web of life and technology. Fast forward to the end of the Golden Age- The Collapse and the Dark Age- alien races surge forth from outside the system- the Eliksni, the Hive, The Cabal, The Vex- all coming for the Traveler. He fought them all, sending his Light, his Power out, crushing the opposition. Then, He was crippled, retreating to a small town. Fast forward to the beginning of our age- The City Age- With His dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghost- small machines that can revive those capable of wielding the Light- His Power- and fight the Darkness. The Hunters scout out terrain, reclaim Dead Zones, and are the eyes and ears of the City- the Warlocks research the secrets of the fundamental ideas of the Darkness, predict future events, and enthrall themselves in the workings of the Light to understand it and to find new ways to work it into the Guardians arsenal- and finally, the Titans, Defenders of the Last City, and the burning lights of hope in the shadows. Honor-driven. Leaders. Warriors. The Protectors of Humanity. Deeply intertwined in the history of the Last City. What happens when one is reborn and becomes one of the few able to wield the flame of hope as his own, to burn off the shackles of darkness that have been crushing humanity's will and hope to dust, What happens when he experiences so much tragedy, so much pain, that he delves into the shadows? What happens, when he finally snaps? And what happens to his loved ones when they are forced to put him down? And what will his Legend become, if he himself threatens the safety of the Last City. --------------- Thanks go out to the wonderful girl that most would know as @ShadowPine for the Cover art. Thanks Kobi!!!!
