~ONC 2024 Honourable Mention~
                   ~~~
Alaric, the King of Silmarea, recently married to his beloved husband, needs an heir of his own blood to secure the throne.

With the help of Emrys, his court magician and best friend, he recalls his youthful escapades and discovers a daughter he once had with a woman he had loved in The World Beyond The Stones (our world).

He sends an unlikely but trusted trio on a quest to find her and bring her home-- a brooding dragon shifter and Highlander who owes him a favor, a dashing elf whom he loves like the son he never had, and a loyal, kindhearted dwarf, the elf's best friend.

Alaric, the last scion of the old gods, weary of ruling the country and ready to retire and enjoy his love life, doesn't know that this quest will bring much more than he ever bargained for, setting in motion events plotted by the destiny that will challenge his kingdom and legacy.

                   ~~~

My ONC 2024 entry inspired by prompt 21: A dragon, an elf, and a dwarf embark on a quest to find the lost heir to the kingdom.

32 parts Complete
In the mystical realm of Eldoria, a forgotten prophecy reveals the existence of "The Enchanted Nexus," a hidden dimension that holds the key to restoring balance between magic and chaos. As ancient forces awaken to exploit its power, a reluctant hero, Alaric, discovers he is the chosen one destined to find and protect the Nexus. Guided by a cryptic map and aided by a diverse group of companions-a skilled sorceress, a wise elder, and a mysterious creature with shape-shifting abilities-Alaric embarks on a perilous quest. Along the journey, they unravel the Nexus's secrets, encountering mythical creatures, solving riddles, and overcoming treacherous obstacles. As Alaric's connection to the Nexus strengthens, he must confront his own inner demons and make sacrifices to prevent the malevolent forces from seizing its power. Betrayals and alliances test the group's unity, while the line between good and evil blurs in the face of temptation. In a climactic battle at the heart of Eldoria, Alaric faces the ultimate choice-to safeguard the Nexus or succumb to its seductive allure for personal gain. The fate of the realm hangs in the balance as the Enchanted Nexus reveals its true nature, challenging the very fabric of magic and destiny. Will Alaric embrace his destiny and protect Eldoria, or will the Nexus's enchantment lead to the realm's demise? The journey unfolds with twists, turns, and a magical tapestry woven with courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope.
Heart of Stone by xMishx

To make ends meet now that her husband has died in combat, Patrice accepts the only job going in the small town-backbreaking work picking fruit for the local farmer. When the farmer asks Patrice to move the cows into the lower field, she thinks nothing of it until one cow decides to go on an adventure through the wrong gate. After moving the cow, Patrice notices a glowing gem in the long grass. Patrice decides that it has to be returned to its owner and assumes that the shadowy figure in the distance is that person. Transfixed by the stone and its magical powers, Patrice chases after the mysterious figure, forgetting about the world behind her. The true owner is Jarek, a merciless elf king who has little time for the games that the crystal is playing. Jarek's plans for returning to his world after the battle to save the humans in their global war are thrown into disarray when he realises that the stone will not return to him. Jarek has no choice but to do everything within his power to get it back. Without the crystal, he will die. One small stone will cause chaos for Jarek and Patrice when it binds itself to her and refuses its rightful owner. Determined to get his crystal back, Jarek takes Patrice to his world. He knows that the clerics will have an answer. Neither Jarek nor Patrice will be pleased with what they offer. With time running out, they must do what is necessary to save a king with no heir. © This story is copyrighted.

Queen of Earth and Starlight by kendallsroses
10 parts Ongoing
Many ages ago, the Eru Illúvitar had awoken the elves, and they had gone all throughout Middle Earth. While others had chosen locations such as Imladris, Lindon, or Mirkwood the blessed Lady Galadriel, had another place in mind, during the first few ages. A beautiful forest that lay close to Misty Mountains, that ancient dwarven kingdom with the Anduin river on its Eastern side, was called Lothlorien. Shortly after,Lady Galadriel and her husband welcomed their firstborn into the world and named them Winyára, for she was born during the first light in the morning. As the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn, she spent her elfish life learning. From learning her mother tongues of Quenya & Sindarin, to learning all they could about nature and defense skills; to not only protect herself but others as well. Eventually, the time had finally come, when she was older, wiser, and was ready to find her own path. A path that leads to an ancient dwarven kingdom inside of the Misty Mountains. This path is a massive part of her journey, and once she starts it there will be no turning around. Only looking on ahead and continuing along. Join Winyára, daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn on this quest towards her true calling. Although there will be times of doubt, sadness, and peril that will occur in this fictional tale. It will be full of deep platonic friendships, romance, with the main character discovering, what it means to stand firm in her power.
To Marry a Dragon by DomiSotto

||WATTY 2021 SHORTLIST|| Ex-Princess-Bride wants to marry her beloved Dragon, but when a curse threatens their happily ever after, they are left racing against time to break the spell before it breaks their hearts. *** Elvira, a princess who gave up her rights to the crown to go on adventures and do good, falls in love with a dragon knight Ferrante. Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract. More brawn than brains, the fine print is not his forte, and the dangers of sparring with nimble minds are far greater than he had seen in his nightmares. Meanwhile, a sinister puppet-master also has designs on Elvira... So, the race to the altar is on! Age range I think is NA to adult, but it's smut-free. If you see this book on any other site, they'd stolen it. If they're charging you for it, this is the best and free version. Please read it on W-A-T-T-pad. First Published: April 29, 2020
