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.

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. 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.

With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist.

Guardians Of The Last Dragon by McDorey

"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."

The End Of Destiny by RudeusNovocrono7

In the world teeming with magic and ancient prophecies, a prodigious girl is born with a destiny she cannot escape. Nyx has always known she was different. Born under the twin moons of Eclipsarum and blessed with unparalleled magical abilities, she is the chosen one destined to confront and defeat the malevolent demon king, Anos. From a young age, Nyx is trained rigorously in combat and sorcery, honing her skills for the day she will face her greatest challenge. The kingdom of Eclipsarum, a land of breathtaking beauty and hidden dangers, teeters on the brink of destruction. The shadow of Anos's reign spreads, leaving fear and chaos in its wake. His dark powers grow stronger, and with each passing day, the hope of the people wanes. They look to Nyx as their beacon of hope, their last line of defense against the encroaching darkness. Nyx's journey is fraught with peril. Alongside a diverse group of allies-a stoic knight, a cunning rogue, and a wise sorceress-she ventures through enchanted forests, over treacherous mountains, and into the heart of Anos's dark domain. Each step forward reveals more about her own powers and the true extent of the demon king's evil. As Nyx faces trials that test her strength and resolve, she learns that her destiny is not just to wield power but to understand its cost. Her battles against Anos's minions are not only physical but also moral, challenging her to question the very nature of good and evil. In moments of quiet reflection and intense conflict, she begins to see that her purpose might be more complex than simply defeating an enemy. In a climactic showdown, Nyc confronts Anos in his fortress of shadows. The battle is fierce, pushing her to the limits of her abilities
