In Tehazihbith, imperfection is a myth. Blessed with divine power, the city's miracle rivers overflow with dust, a glittering, colourful cascade, and its people weave life-giving magic. Imperfection belongs to the beasts and the beastfolk: strange, violent beings that prowl outside the city's protection.

When Rayanah Kel-Jabir stumbles upon a wounded, dying beastfolk boy, she's faced with a choice. As a young mage and wielder of dust, trained to defend Tehazihbith from the beasts' mindless attacks, saving the boy's life goes against everything she's ever known--yet for Raya, her perfect nature is a cage, and choices are rare.

The more she learns of the boy and his people, the more cracks begin to show in her city's sacred harmony. The winds are shifting, and they sing of blood, spilled from beasts and mages alike. The trouble is hearing the warning notes before it's too late.

But when an opportunity arises, Myalah is torn with indecision. Can she really set her ideals aside and leave her only home she's ever known for a possibility, and an unlikely one at that? A BEASTLY PRINCE. Luka, 'the Beast' and heir to Valennia's throne, is running out of time. As a young boy, a curse was cast upon him, one that could break his kingdom should it take full effect. He won't allow it to happen. Unfortunately, the one solution Luka was given, the one way to break the curse, his one way out, has a time limit-and he is nearly eighteen.

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."

Angels of the Storm: The Shards of Thunder (Book 1) |Original| ✔️ by Echo_Aphelion

This story follows the perspectives of multiple different characters. Each chapter will be a different character. Just a warning for the change of POVs. They will all be in first person as well. 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.

Dawn of Kleftis by Skaursgaurd

WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS SCENES THAT SOME MAY FIND TRIGGERING. UPDATE: SUNDAY HEADS UP: I associate music a lot with writing. One I can do, the other I can't lol. Like all my stories, each chapter will have a song or songs attached, I recommend you listen to each to grasp the full gravity of the story. Comments will be left for when you should change song. Alex spends most of his days alone and that's the way he likes it. The world isn't like it used to be, and going alone is the easier option. Monsters invaded, bringing with them death and plague. They left their scars on humanity, on him. What will he do when he's forced to face his demons, and the end of his quiet life? Will he be able to retain his humanity? "We don't know who's doing this to us, what root it's growing from, or why. They came with blood, ash, and war. Humanity retreated away to its bastion as the darkness clouded around us, and then they came. Our beacons of light." Art by ORYANIMA Twitter.com/Oryanima Instagram.com/Oryanima

The Reaper King by JustAnoth3rG0d

The illusion of life and the desire for power often cloud us. They change our views, bias our hearts, justify our wars. But even though power demands payment, will that stop you from fighting for your dreams? In a universe where gods run rampant, mages decide the flow of history, and eldritch horrors hide in the darkest crevices of creation. Power and the right to command it and its consequences is earned, bled for, died for. Does the fire of hope shine bright, or does it burn black? Where evil boasts its name aloud and good slinks away wretchedly in the shadows, will you bend your knee? Or will you ascend and join the mighty legends? What is a king to a god? What is a god, to a non-believer?

Heart of the Desert: Sun Chaser by rachelpas_

In a world where power and desire intertwine, Amina Vyrdanth's life is forever altered when she is traded from her sheltered upbringing in the northern continent to the opulent but perilous desert city of Gaan. Groomed to serve in the highest echelons of society, Amina now finds herself a courtesan to the enigmatic ruler, Sivan, whose unsettling demeanor hides a web of political intrigue and deception. Gaan, what once began as the settlement of a strong magical race called the Druid, has been turned into a cultural and political melting pot. Those with remnants of diluted power rise to higher ranks, while the rest of the military state is mainly overrun by criminals seeking redemption, where the line between ally and enemy blurs. As Amina navigates the treacherous waters of court life, she discovers that the city is on the brink of chaos. And the Overseer might be hiding more than he lets on. In this volatile landscape, she encounters Kalel Draven, a mercenary with secrets of his own. Together, they must untangle the mysteries of Gaan's politics, confront the darkness lurking within its streets, and discover Amina's own untapped strength. As alliances shift and danger looms, Amina must choose between her past and a future she never imagined. In a realm of magic, betrayal, and fierce ambition, can Amina reclaim her destiny, or will the shadows of Gaan consume her?

(Book 5) Hayden Mackay and The Pride of Haima-Endira by jyothi89

"I am really sorry," I whispered, "I always knew that it was terrible, but I could never have guessed, not even in my dreams, that people of this country can cross all the limits." "Not all the people," she said, softly yet sternly, "Just a few. Others are innocent and noble." I gaped, unable to believe her. "Nazira, why do you love this country so much? Don't you realize? It's an impure dustbin, full of garbage and rotten materials." "Dustbins can be purified," she said instantly. "All we need is someone capable to clean this garbage." Cover Credits - Devesh Soni
