The Spell Thief Vol.1 by kiddlil

In the city of Lunaris, magic is more than a tool-it's a currency, a source of power that defines status and influence. Aldara, once part of the elite Mage Guild, now works as an independent investigator after leaving behind the dangerous politics of the magical world. But when one of the most powerful mages in the city, Solon Meron, reports the impossible-a theft of his most protected spells-Aldara is drawn into a mystery that threatens the very foundations of Lunaris. As she delves deeper into the case, Aldara uncovers a pattern of spell thefts targeting the city's most influential mages. But these aren't just random robberies; whoever is behind the thefts is wielding ancient magic long thought to be extinct-magic capable of breaking through the strongest defenses without leaving a trace. With no clues and a growing sense of dread, Aldara races against time to discover the identity of the mysterious thief. As tensions rise within the Mage Guild and the stolen spells begin to surface in dangerous places, Aldara must confront not only the hidden enemies within Lunaris but also the ghosts of her past that still haunt her.

After weeks of traveling, Rhenor and Kaz finally arrive in Sigallah to hopefully meet up with Kaz's friend Elaya. After spending the day in the city, they do eventually manage to find her, though not in a way they expected. But the surprises keep on coming, as to both Rhenor and Kaz's shock, Elaya is now a part of a group of thieves that plans to steal a large sum of money from the dragons. Even though Kaz is horrified and completely against this idea, Rhenor can't help but be intrigued by what is hearing and when asked, he agrees to join in on the plan, despite Kaz's protests. It seems simple, fast, and best of all, it would mean actively taking part in fighting the dragons. But unfortunately, not everything always works out as it should.

HalfWorlder #Wattys2017 by HerringAli

(Highest rank #12 in sci-fi). When a dangerous ancient artifact hidden by the Egyptian gods activates after millennia, the long-dormant powers of a half-alien boy come alive just in time to save the Earth. But he never imagined winning over a girl would be harder than saving the world. And he may not even do that. THE LONG VERSION: Human life was hard enough for 17-year-old Gil Scott when his father suddenly disappeared from a temple dig. But when the half-alien teen uncovers a conspiracy surrounding the artifact his human dad was hunting, Gil must use his alien powers to track it down before it destroys the planet he calls home. With the help of a beautiful Oasen-human hybrid whose drive to succeed masks her private pain, Gil borrows his mom's spaceship, following the same clues across Egypt as his father. The teens battle strange weather phenomena and rising global panic as they race through the suffocating heat of the desert, through deluged ancient temples, and hidden libraries hiding more than just books. That is until it starts snowing on the Great Sphinx and they unearth a millennial-old message from Ra himself, addressed to Gil, with a choice that will affect everyone's future. Unraveling Ra's remaining clues, they rush to locate the powerful artifact in time. But Ra and the other ancient aliens' thousands-year-old, carefully mapped plan to save the Earth from the Aten has a fatal flaw, and their gamble may cost Gil the only life that will matter to him in the end. And possibly the planet itself. (Cover image: Photo of The Pyramids of Giza from Egypt combined with a Hubble image. Original photographer: Rom Srinivasan, 2005)
