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.

As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning.

Codex Gigas - Realm of Serpent God by Luciasher

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?

Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own.

Angels are from a world they call Alzeria. Inside said world there are 7 types of Angels for each of the elements. Earth, Sky, Storm, Water, Ice, Fire, and Shadow. But inside this world there is a dark and mysterious eighth type of Angel. The Hollows. An almost zombie-like race in the north-east of Alzeria. This is where our story begins. Sky's father, Hermes, went missing a year ago in the Hollow territory. He hasn't been seen since. After the accident, Sky and her best friend Hibiscus, an Earth Angel, were sent with her family to Earth to begin her training and to let the family recover. While on Earth, traces of Hollows become more and more prominant. What are they planning? The next perspective follows the Fire Angel Princess Ashfire, known for her fiery personality and her excellent swordplay. But with shining complements come dark rumors. See, the Royal Family of the Fire Kingdom are known for their golden wings, but Ashfire was born with gold wings with blood red feathers dotting its surface. Ashfire also has a few secrets of her own that could place her and her disfunctional family at risk in the war waging between the Fire Kingdom and the Shadow Kingdom. What will become of her Kingdom? Andromeda is a training Water Mage in the Water Kingdom, trying to recover from past trauma that caused her father's death and an injury to her left arm. Why would she ever be dragged into a war she didn't start? Blitz and her family are known for their powerful Ice Magic that surpasses all other families in the Ice Kingdom.
