The Iron Plain Island is a symbol of the fragile peace between the State of Kurat and the Regency of Lomurat. But that symbol is tarnished when the regency launches a brutal attack on the kuratian troops stationed on the plain. Kenit, the chief of the Eagle Squadrons of the Kuratian Army, is one of the fatal victims of the attack.  
Unwilling to accept her daughter's fate, Kenit's mother persuades two men to bring her help her bring Kenit back to life: Genul, Kenit's betrothed, and Luenji, Kenit's adjunct. 
Blood is the price to pay to bring the dead back to life, and those across the border of the State of Kurat are charged with it. Genul must unbury his past training in the military to accomplish his mission. His target are powerful royal guards of Lomurat. But once in the lomuratian palace, Genul finds himself fighting against his certainties. Because the regent of Lomurat has a real interest in Genul. The alluring noble may hide secrets more valuable than the blood of his troops.
Task with keeping Kenit's body safe as he waits for the blood meant to save her, Luenji starts an investigation that will lead him to a dangerous conclusion: perhaps the greatest enemy is within the borders of the kuratian state.

When he hears a rumor about a gemstone with the power to bring people back to life, he believes he found a solution to all of his problems.

Lance never shied away from a job, no matter how shady or illegal it was. Killing people, making dangerous poisons, working as a Hunter to spy and get dirt on people-he's done it all. So when the leader of the Hunters' Guild asks him to find some magical gemstone, he has no reason to refuse. Until his client tries to kill him, at least.

The Blood of Amietta by DreaMarinWrites
42 parts Complete Mature
A loner with a bad attitude and a misplaced princess are forced to work together to free themselves from a hitchstone, a magical jail cell powerful enough to trap an entire town. Mila Wilde had no idea what she was getting herself into when she decided to take a peek inside of a strange metal box. Or maybe she did- she can't remember. Either way, it's a decision that she can't take back. Without her memories, Mila has no choice but to place her trust in Noelani, a spoiled princess from a faraway land. A task easier said than done. Between practicing her newfound magic and figuring out her complicated past, Mila finds that she is quite reluctant to leave the princess's side. Even if that means forgetting about the family she's been trying to locate since she was twelve. Blood is thicker than water. At least that's what her mother taught her- but Mila isn't so sure about that anymore. Not when her mother is against the only thing that has ever made her feel powerful. And the only person that Mila would ever trust with her life. Maybe it's time for a new lesson. Sometimes broken things can't be mended. Mila can feel it in her blood.

In Thy Name by Talvik77
42 parts Ongoing Mature
An mxm dark fantasy romance. Two men separated by magic and caste--can they cross the line? (And save the world while they're at it?) The slowest of slow burns. Mature themes; pls check the content warnings! Before every political revolution, comes a revolution of the heart. Sareb, an outcast shaman-mage, and Kuya, a warlord's son, could not be more different. Living alone in a cave, shunned by almost everyone, Sareb refuses to admit he needs anyone or anything. For Kuya, family is everything. He would do anything for his older sister, the heir to their father's steppe empire, poised on the brink of world conquest-although he harbors misgivings about their violent way of life. When Sareb intervenes in an "accident" that leaves Kuya's sister's soul in limbo, the two are drawn into a quest from the desert sands to the northern steppe in search of her soul. As the stakes rise from one soul to clan rivalry to world war, a connection grows between the surly mage and the softhearted warrior. But Sareb has walled himself off after losing practically everyone that mattered to him, and he refuses to open up to one of the warrior elite who are to blame. For Kuya, the family name comes first, even before matters of the heart. For them to be together-not to mention stop the impending war-the entire world will have to change. For fans of THE POPPY WAR, THE JASMINE THRONE or THE FIFTH SEASON - but GAY! Content Warnings: brutal colonization/enslavement/genocide (mostly off the page); drug use/abuse; emotional abuse with sexual undertones; PTSD, depression and suicidal ideation; fantasy violence All of the main characters are 18+. Caste-based oppression, abuse, and mental health issues are depicted, but the storyline is one of healing and making the world better.
