As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges
46 parts Complete
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

Scorpio by Turtles5188
16 parts Complete
A desert-town math whiz meets an ambidextrous artist, a Scorpio... in the wake of a best friend's death, two white envelopes that freak people out, and a diamond pearl that might be LSD. In the outskirts of Las Vegas, freshman Aurora (a.k.a. Ari) takes refuge in calculus and probability problems to escape the demons of her painful past. Math was what the prestigious prep school Staglight Academy had recruited her for-her, a girl from the wrong side of the train tracks. Plus, numbers are logical; math makes sense. This predictable world built on immutable mathematical theorems doesn't plague you with chronic insomnia, doesn't let Katrina-your best friend-die, and definitely doesn't hurl a tornado through the middle of the Mohave. But a desert cyclone is exactly how their twin escapes begin-Ari, running from the horrors that have chased her throughout time, and Xanexa, running from the horrors that have chased xyr across the universe. They run until they meet, when Ari comes face-to-face with xyr, an amazing artist whose sketches are so real they could come to life. From that initial encounter, she begins to discover the dangerous, life-threatening truths that had been buried with Katrina. Under an increasingly constricting web of manipulation and deceit that imperil Ari and those around her, those truths resurface with the ones about herself that had been buried beneath the sands of time-truths that are wholly irrational, just like art-- --and pi, a number xe shows her the end to, even though it is real, irrational, natural, and never-ending.

The discovery of a prehistoric body sets in motion a cataclysmic chain of events long foretold by ancient prophecy . . . . Still grieving his mother's death, Seattle bachelor Peter Barshman receives a cryptic message from his estranged father. As he ponders its meaning, he is approached by Nechama Davila, a young Israeli archaeologist who believes Peter and his father harbor information about a stolen artifact of immense importance. But she's not the only one zeroing in on Peter. When assassins strike, the two of them are thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse where the only hope for survival is finding the artifact before the killers find them. Tinkering away in his basement laboratory, former CDC virologist R. K. Brisling receives an urgent phone call. The vice president of the United States is dead, and Congress wants to know why. Dragged out of semi-retirement to investigate, Brisling returns to the CDC in Atlanta, where he confronts his tragic past and a looming viral outbreak beyond his wildest fears. When Brisling traces the outbreak to its unlikely source, he uncovers an astonishing link between the virus, the artifact and the ancient prophecy--a link that could shape the future of human civilization. _____________________________ Here's what others are saying about ON EARTH'S ALTAR: "... This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read on WP!" -- @linahanson, Wattpad Ambassador "Intelligent, mysterious, beautifully written ..." -- @Megerah111 "Very Dan Brown like ... I've read all of his novels. For storytelling, attention to research, and writing style, I'd put [G. F. Berntsen's] writing on par with his." -- @elmerseward

The Shard of Montsegur

5 parts Ongoing

One discovery. Two timelines. A mystery preserved across eight centuries. 1244: As the Cathar stronghold of Montségur falls, Esclarmonde de Perella dispatches three messengers with fragments of an ancient secret. East to Japan, west to hidden sanctuaries, and one piece concealed within the mountain itself-knowledge too dangerous to exist in one place. Present day: Archaeologist Sophie Durand unearths one of these obsidian fragments at Montségur, covered in symbols that match nothing in conventional history. Her discovery triggers immediate interest from unexpected quarters-the Vatican archives, a mysterious foundation, and a Japanese temple that somehow expected her arrival. As Sophie traces the fragment's connections from France to Japan, she uncovers an extraordinary medieval network spanning continents. The pieces were designed to reunite when specific stars aligned-eight centuries after their separation. Now Sophie realizes she hasn't just found an artifact-she's activated a system spanning centuries. What truth required such elaborate protection? And why is it resurfacing now?
