Playing in the forest behind his family's farm, the introverted thirteen-year-old Noah Thornton and his dog Chuck discover a golden chest with mysterious carvings hidden in the ground next to his favorite waterfall.  More than just a buried treasure, the trunk takes Noah on a journey to a hidden realm where magic-filled indigenous tribes, known as The Twelve, still live as they have for centuries.  The source of their magic is inside the very trunk Noah discovers, and the envy of the dark mystic Viruñas Wakinyan who wants nothing more than to see The Twelve destroyed.   On his journey of self-discovery and exploration of this ancient world, Noah makes new, shape-shifting friends along the way as he learns the pain and suffering of those who walked the land before him.  Joining the fight to help his friends and family, Noah learns secrets from the past that help him find his own strength, and his own identity.  With twists and turns around every corner, THE ANCIENT WATERFALL spins a web of intricate stories over many generations.  Filled with magic and mystery, tradition and treachery, the past and present collide in an extraordinary journey of fantasy and excitement.  Noah's fate, the fate of The Twelve, and the fates of countless others dangle at the cascading edge of The Ancient Waterfall.All Rights Reserved

Jeremiah Weedling, an unassuming teenager with a sharp mind and a quiet demeanor, finds his life upended when a moment of bravery leads him into an otherworldly realm. After surviving a grueling trial in mysterious caves, he awakens in a world both magical and perilous-a realm filled with humanoid fae creatures ruled by fear and oppression under the tyrannical Radamar. Seeking only to return home, Jeremiah learns that his path is anything but straightforward. To escape this realm, he must navigate the treacherous politics of the fae village, endure brutal training from unlikely allies, and face down powerful Guardians bound by Radamar's magic. As he journeys through lush forests and shadowy landscapes, Jeremiah unravels secrets about this realm, the beings who inhabit it, and even himself. Despite his initial reluctance, Jeremiah cannot ignore the villagers' plight. Their suffering stirs a resolve within him, pushing him to stand against Radamar and his cruel reign. With the help of his newfound companions-a silent but wise warrior, a fiery rival, and a timid yet insightful guide-Jeremiah grows stronger, braver, and more determined. But defeating Radamar is only the beginning. Jeremiah's choices will not only shape the future of the fae but also forge the path that may lead him home-or deeper into the web of deceit that binds this world. Jeremiah's journey is only beginning, as his path entwines with an ancientll prophecy, a journey to an Obeah man, and a destiny he never imagined. With each step, he must balance his desire to escape with the growing responsibility to heal a fractured community. Will Jeremiah's journey to find himself and his way home be enough to mend the scars left by tyranny and unlock the truth behind The God's Deceit?

Paying the Piper by AyndhriaSoung

Deals with the devil are always tricky, especially when it was someone else who sold your soul to the devil. Faye Wulfgaar has always had bad luck. She figured it worked like a genetic trait: red hair, shy, conscientious, and unlucky. She never thought she might be cursed. But when her family moves back to the small town where she was born, a string of dark occurrences begin to make it clear that she does not know herself and her origins half as much as she ought--but others certainly do. As girls her age disappear into the Potomah Forest, they most often turn up again dead--if they turn up at all. Something prowls the Potomah woods, and it is seeking her. Faye must uncover the truth of her family's legacy and her own powers before her curse and the Potomah Killer catches up to her. Because what you don't know can always hurt you. *** Fox image credit: https://pixabay.com/photos/fox-butterfly-magical-mystical-5669532/ Girl image credit: https://pixabay.com/photos/elf-forest-fantasy-girl-nature-3613695/ Forest image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/forest-woods-slenderman-horror-7253415/

The Midnight Letter Society by DreamQuill01

In the quiet town of Willowdale, three best friends-Noah, Mira, and Elias-are spending their last summer together before life pulls them in different directions. They expect nothing but the usual slow days and late-night talks, but when they stumble upon an old mailbox in an abandoned post office, everything changes. Inside the mailbox, they find a letter from the past, a message never sent, carrying secrets, regrets, and unfinished stories. At first, it seems like a mystery with no answers-until they realize that each letter has the power to reconnect people, heal old wounds, and rewrite forgotten histories. Determined to uncover the truth, they form The Midnight Letter Society, secretly delivering these messages to their rightful owners. But when they come across a letter connected to one of them, their mission becomes personal. Some secrets were meant to stay hidden, and what they uncover might not just change the lives of strangers-it might change their own forever. A heartwarming and mysterious journey of friendship, adventure, and the power of second chances, The Midnight Letter Society is a story about the letters we never send, the words we leave unspoken, and the friendships that guide us home.

Crowns and Pawns by LizzieStars

This is the story of one whose destiny was predetermined. This is the story of one who was the victim of circumstance. A victim of a past that was not his own. He learned early to keep his head down, his mouth shut, his eyes up, and his ears open. He learned when to bite his gold and when to not look a gift horse in the mouth. He learned to judge malice from goodness. But nothing could have prepared him for what fate deigned to gift him. Another world; magic; plagues; blood and fire; royalty; and at every corner, lies. Jesse will need more than just power. He will need more than just skills and abilities. He will need help... and contacts. But in this game, who is trustworthy? And who is not? For one whose crime was to be born, to survive is to win.

Amid fiery battles, whispered secrets, and the stirring warmth of love rediscovered, they must face their scars and summon the strength to challenge Erz'kapril's tyrannical rule.

Dead Apples by writerbug44

Yasmin used to love living on an apple orchard with her family. She loved going out into the orchard in the mornings to pick the apples with her family, running around with her brother and their dog while her mom and dad would sneak kisses behind the trees when they thought nobody was looking. When Yasmin was twelve, however, everything changed. Her mother died and then, slowly, so did all of the apple trees. As the trees started to lose their leaves and shrivel up, she watched her dad cure his broken heart with whiskey. She watched her brother turn into somebody unrecognizable. As the apples died, so did her family. Even now, at eighteen, Yasmin lives with a dreadful sense of hopelessness in her small town with her twisted family and their stupid yet lovable dog. No way up, no way out. Yasmin is stuck. Until, of course, she meets Dex and he accidentally starts to change everything.
