In the mystical land of Eldoria, where magic flowed through the veins of its inhabitants and mythical creatures roamed freely, 
there existed a curse that plagued the royal family for generations. The curse was simple yet devastating - the ruler of Eldoria would only reign until the age of 30 before their body would be consumed by it, leaving nothing but ashes behind. 
 
The current ruler of Eldoria, King Kallias, had just turned 29 and the people of the kingdom were beginning to fear the worst. Kallias was a kind and just king, loved by his subjects, but the curse loomed over him like a dark shadow, threatening to take him away before his time. 
 
But there was a glimmer of hope in the dark depths of despair. Once a decade, a female from the kingdom was chosen to be given a chance to break the curse that plagued the royal family. If she succeeded, the curse would be lifted and the ruler would be free from its grasp. However, if she failed, the curse would consume her as well, leaving two souls lost to the darkness. 
 
The time had come for a new female to be chosen to break the curse, and the anticipation in the kingdom was palpable. Every eligible woman in Eldoria hoped to be the one chosen, to be the savior of their beloved king and their kingdom.

Elyra: Legend Reborn by AoNoNgao
11 parts Ongoing
There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)

52 parts Complete

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.
