In an oceanic realm littered with traces of Magick, Crescent Isle had always been the odd one out. For aeons on end, it had been sheltered from the remainder of the world, seemingly as though an enormous invisible dome had been set in place around its waters to ward off dangers, paving the way for a prosperous golden age.
However, darkness finally rises to the forefront across the Thirteenth Sea.
Pirates, eyes glued onto the island's vast wealth and riches, invade the capital city, Silvermoon Wharf.
Crescent Isle's defences hold through arduous tribulations but at a significant cost; with a timeless relic tarnished, a great evil is one step closer to emerging.
In the calamity's wake, Cynthia Pryce meets a mysterious albeit familiar old man with but a single request for her to join his longspun journey across the sea to restore the distorted balance between light and darkness. Intrigued by the offer, the girl breaks free of her roots. Suddenly exposed to the vast entirety of the Thirteenth Sea, Cynthia steers down a rocky path of a new reality as she comes to terms with the horrifying state of global unrest.

Unbound
She was the last Dragonborn... unbound and free, defying the fate written in blood and prophecy. From the moment she took her first breath, the collar was meant to be hers. But she ran. She hid. And she survived. In the kingdom of Elyria, magic breathes through every tree, river, and sky. Ruled by the crown city of Virellia, peace has long been preserved through an ancient pact: five elemental Dragonborn... Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Space, bound to the bloodlines of the royal sons. Dragons born in human form, their power is legendary. Their collars, eternal. Together, bonded to masters, they anchor the balance between divine power and mortal rule. Four are collared. Claimed. Owned. But the fifth... the one born of space and stardust, escaped. Lyra Vale has spent her life running from the collar that would tether her magic, her will, and her very soul to a prince she does not trust. Her freedom is a threat to the system itself. Yet as the long-forgotten shadow kingdom of Noctyra rises from beyond the veil, darkness gathers fast-and only the five united Dragonborn can stop it. In a realm where dragons are bound, king rule through chains, and collars make immortals of men... what happens when the last Dragonborn refuses to kneel?Completa
Guardians Of The Last Dragon
"In the realm of Tenria, where the skies are painted with the hues of dawn and dusk, and the land is scarred by the whispers of ancient magic, the fabric of fate is woven. Five tribes, each a thread in the tapestry of destiny, have been chosen to embark on a perilous quest. The Aerthys, masters of the winds, with wingsuits that shimmer like the sun; the Pyrope, weavers of fire, with hearts ablaze and souls afire; the Nyxoria, guardians of the shadows, with secrets hidden behind masks of mystery; the Terraka, keepers of the earth, with roots that dig deep into the ancient lore; and the Aquaria, rulers of the oceans, with tides that ebb and flow with the rhythm of the cosmos. In a world where magic is a whispered promise, and ancient prophecies slumber, waiting to be unearthed, the chosen ones must navigate treacherous landscapes, forge unlikely alliances, and confront the shadows within. For in the heart of Tenria lies the ancient pearl, a relic of the last dragon, waiting to be claimed by those brave enough to face the trials of the past. Join us, dear traveler, as we embark on a journey through the realms of Tenria, where the very fabric of reality is about to be rewritten, and the fate of a world hangs in the balance."Completa

The Rise of The Crescent Heir
In the mystical city of the Midnight Kingdom, where magic and shadows coexist, a young heir named Elara discovers her extraordinary lineage: she is the Crescent Heir, destined to wield the combined powers of light and shadow to protect the city's Heart, a magical source of balance and life. As ancient forces awaken, a cunning mastermind unleashes a Final Weapon, threatening the city and the people she loves. From humble beginnings, Elara struggles to master her powers, navigate complex friendships, and confront her growing feelings for Kael, her loyal companion and confidant. Alongside her trusted allies-Talric, a strategic warrior; Lysandra, a mystical winged guardian; and Seraphine, a powerful mage-she faces relentless trials, from shadow-augmented armies to ancient magical trials, all while the Chronicle, an ancient magical ledger, demands a sacrifice for maintaining balance. Each chapter builds tension with dangerous encounters, emotional dilemmas, and mystical revelations. Elara learns that light and shadow are not opposites but complementary, and only through mastering both can she protect her city and loved ones. Through strategic teamwork, trust, and courage, she leads her allies against the Final Weapon and the mastermind, culminating in a climactic confrontation where the Chronicle's price demands her ultimate sacrifice. In the final battle, Elara channels the full extent of her Crescent-shadow powers to destroy the Final Weapon, stabilize the Heart, and defeat the mastermind. The cost is immense, leaving her physically drained and transformed-but alive, her mastery complete. The story closes with hope tempered by vigilance: though the city is safe, faint magical anomalies on the horizon hint at future challenges, ensuring the legacy of the Crescent Heir continues.

Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't.

But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
