The nation of Omnirius, having recently signed a peace treaty to end the War of Blood and Iron, is now faced with a devastating loss- the sudden death of their beloved High King Rhoden IV. With no natural born heir, and the nation in economic turmoil after the machine of war has bled it dry, the fate of Omnirius has never been more uncertain. 

Away in the capital city of Eadenfros, the powers at be vie in the shadows for control of the Omnirian Empire. Meanwhile, in a town called Viemen, an Elfkin named Telhari finds his fate intertwined with two human children- a boy named Ellis and his best friend Marybeth. All is not as it seems in Viemen, and even as the newly created Starspawn Guild continues to grow in strength and popularity, forces begin to move that are beyond anyone's control.

Inspired by a fantasy role playing campaign between friends, "Echoes of Arden" begins the unlikely story of the battle for the future of an empire!

Dragon's Khu'meir {COMPLETE} by CaraAisling

After a disastrous climb up Half Dome in Yosemite, California -Eoin finds himself taken to a different world than the one he was born into. It's a place of fantasy. Where creatures like elves and fae live. It is also a place that holds a deep, brutal history. As an outsider, it is quite possibly the last place someone like Eoin should be. Yet, there could be a reason for his arrival. Eoin finds himself in the midst of a civil war between the most unlikely of things. Dragons. A race of human-looking beings who can take the form of true dragons. Yet, their heated war is perhaps the most deadly thing to encounter. Dragons are powerful, almost god-like and many of the brethren have proven that they cannot be allowed to run free with their immense powers. Yet, in the middle of such chaos, Eoin finds himself in the arms of a particularly powerful dragon. And the crown prince no less: Nakiirn. Despite the safety Nakiirn provides, the dangers that abound eventually sneak their way past the draconic protector and straight for the vulnerable human a long way from home.

Warrior Of Light [Complete/Editing] by EEPhoenix

Having a Gift is supposed to be good. But Edileth's feels more like a curse. Vowing to hide her abilities post-catastrophe, she leads a simple, disciplined life as Captain of the Guard in Kerindh. But this is all thrown into chaos when she is summoned by the Ferlian Order to transport an ancient relic for them. Edileth accepts, not knowing that it will lead her to participate in a power struggle much bigger than herself. On her journey, she is aided by a spontaneous elf who tests her patience, a healer who soothes more than physical ailments, an enchanter who is more than he seems, and an elite ranger with all the personality of a rock. Their common goal to prevent Gael-Narenth from falling to Si-ol's tyrannical sorcerer-king brings them together in more ways than one, and Edileth starts to care for her companions. But it is impossible to ignore the war approaching, and Edileth must embrace her scorned gift, or watch her companions perish. ~~~~ Won 2nd place in the Fantasy genre for The Lotus Awards 2020. Adept Pen Semi-finalist Chapters One through Fourteen are more heavily edited. The remaining chapters are still early-draft versions and are quite messy. Thank you for your patience and understanding as I work to polish this story!

The Queen Of Eternity by oindriya

UNDER HEAVY EDITING Love. That's a strong word. It breaks you into a million pieces yet somehow manages to put you back together. Power. Self explanatory, isn't it? Who doesn't want power? But power makes you do things that seem psychopathic until you do it. *** The wars have started since Kayan took over the throne after killing his own wife. Esmeray has been his executionist more than she is his daughter. But not all that seems to be, is true. What happens when everything Esmeray has known to be right, proves to be wrong? What happens when the lies reveal themselves? What happens when love and power truly mix? {#7 in feminist} at 16.10.21 BOOK 1 IN THE 'LEGACY' TRILOGY © All rights reserved

Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos. Follow them as they learn more about each other, and learn to look past their deferences to accomplish their goals and save the kingdom. Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!

Tales of the Vangen: The Black Ministry's Betrayal (Book 1) by FritztheGrim

[Completed] The Royal Guard of the Empire has faithfully served Byzantia for nearly three centuries now. Hand picked from foreign lands, these guardsmen hold no political ties, carry no agendas, and bare no creeds except to those who sit upon the Onyx Throne. They are vanguards, protectors, loyalists. They are Vangen. Change has come to the Empire. An Empress sits upon the throne now, destroying any who would rebel against her with both fire and iron. To the east, her loyal Vangen work to quash the newest rebellion, until a letter arrives one day, marked with the Empresses seal. The contents within bare only dread and disturbance for the Guardsmen. The Black Ministry, the former Emperor's cabal of Sorcerers, have turned against the Empress. The Vangen's return is bittersweet. The city they once called home is now a battlefield, every street a choke-point. Every home a possible nesting ground for rebels. The Royal Guard will have to fight tooth and nail to put down the Ministry and protect the Empress, but the deeper they go, the harder the lines begin to blur. In a world where good and evil does not exist, where then does a man's loyalty lie? (Comments and Feedback are always appreciated)

Idilia: The Dark Kingdom - Part 1 by LeoBojalil

A shroud of darkness descends upon Idilia, a world nestled within the vast Realm of Realis. Astra, the once-noble Crimson Knight, and high-ranking Vanamir Vice-Councilor, has shattered the very veil separating creation from the Non-Creation in his insatiable quest for power. This reckless act has unleashed a tide of malevolent energy, threatening to consume Idilia in an endless night, revealing secrets from centuries past. Hope emerges from an unexpected corner. Five Fae, seemingly unconnected by destiny but brought together by tragedy and darkness, find themselves bound by a greater purpose. Dagda, the refugee adventurer; Aeliana, the Stellar Nomad sorceress; Ashana, the enigmatic mage; Pontha, the walking statue; and Sylvan, the barbarian warlock - their paths converge. Guided by an unseen hand, they unite to form a formidable resistance. Their mission: to locate the legendary Ætheric Scrolls, which hold the key to harnessing the power of the Primordials, ancient beings who hold dominion over the fundamental forces of the universe. This power might be their only hope to vanquish Astra and quell the encroaching darkness before it extinguishes the last flicker of light in Idilia. In a desperate race against time, these unlikely heroes embark on a perilous quest, their every step fraught with danger. The fate of Idilia rests upon their shoulders, and the very balance of creation hangs in the precarious balance.

Kings Game by CeciliaOgilvy

[Updates Daily] THE FINALE BEGINS!!! After losing friends and family, fighting in two wars, and suffering through more than they could possibly imagine, Roran and his comrades set their sights on the Kings. Every obstacle has been cleared from their path, all that remains is to collect their weapons, refine their abilities, and take on the Gods themselves. The journey comes to a close as the trio steps back into the arena for a final bout, one final game against the Kings. [Original synopsis] Kill the King, take the Crown, become a God. After losing his family and his home, Roran is thrown into a world where power is everything and the weak are nothing more than fodder for a growing empire. The ever churning arena keeps the Empire entertained and gives the downtrodden a chance to rise up and gain fortune, fame, and if you can climb high enough, the opportunity to challenge the Kings themselves and take their thrones for yourself. Finding a handful of companions, Roran picks up a blade and sets out to conquer the arena and tear down the men that destroyed his life. [This is a writing endurance challenge. I will be attempting to update this story every single day for a year. My goal is to take the story through a series of arcs leading up to a grand finale.] [Update: I'm well past a year and still going. Planning to have the story completed around February 23]
