In a world scarred by ancient conflicts between humans and elves, Key Creed, a resourceful half-elf with a knack for persuasion, navigates a precarious existence as a wandering salesman. Driven by a mix of wanderlust and a need to survive, Key travels from village to village, selling dubious products like colored water masquerading as magical elixirs and paper charms with supposed protective powers.

Key's mixed heritage complicates his interactions; humans are wary of elves due to historical conflicts. Despite this, Key leverages his charisma and silver tongue to spin tales that captivate townsfolk, making them see him as a bridge to the mystical world of elves, even though his elven lineage is diluted.

In the town of Edgefield, gripped by the ravages of White Iris disease, Key sees an opportunity to sell his latest creation: the Elixir of Vitality. Crafted from common herbs and embellished with tales of ancient elven wisdom, this potion promises relief from symptoms rather than a cure. Amidst the despair of afflicted townspeople, Key's sales pitch offers a glimmer of hope. Unbeknownst to him, his words begin to paint him as a potential savior in the eyes of the desperate populace.
As Key engages with locals, including wary merchants and suffering families, he navigates a delicate balance between exploitation and compassion. His encounters reveal underlying tensions between magic and mundane, trust and deceit, in a world still scarred by historical animosities. Despite moral qualms, Key's need to survive and thrive drives him forward, blurring the lines between entrepreneurship and unintended heroism.

As enemies close in and the truth threatens to destroy everything he holds dear, Thevaris and Waldric must fight not only for their love but for their very survival.

IRON HAND (BOOK ONE): FOR THE GREATER GOOD by LowHale
17 parts Ongoing Mature
"Iron Hand" begins in the throes of what most stories would consider the final battle. Buren, leading the "Seekers of the Artifact," utilizes the power of the Gauntlet, an ancient artifact for which he sacrificed his own arm and triumphs over the dark lord, ending the undead scourge plaguing the lands. Without a foe to unify them, the alliance of various racial, religious, and political factions begins to unravel. Reluctant negotiations result in an uneasy peace that leaves many dissatisfied, especially Buren. Now feared and distrusted for the power of the Gauntlet, Buren finds no respite. Dark visions he believes to be warnings from the Gauntlet haunt his dreams. However, his fears are dismissed as the delusions of a war-weary mind. Determined to confront this new threat, Buren follows his visions to an ancient mountain, located within the sacred grounds of the Dryads. The distrustful Dryads deny him access. Out of options, Buren infiltrates the Faith, a fanatical human supremacist religious order, becoming their enforcer, their "Iron Hand." As Buren travels, we delve into the backstories of the "Seekers of the Artifact," witnessing his navigation through a treacherous web of intrigue where trust is a luxury he cannot afford. The realm suffers under a despotic king, with whom Buren must ally on the surface, while secretly plotting his downfall. The situation is further complicated by his arranged marriage to a woman harboring her own dark secrets. Literary heroes sacrifice everything for others, but what happens when saving the world requires sacrifices from everyone? When do the ends cease to justify the means?. What if saving the world involves sacrificing innocents, betraying loved ones, and allying with despised enemies? "Iron Hand" is a story of a man who gave everything to save the world once and is now prepared to do so again, even if it means crossing lines he never thought he would. But will he still be hailed as a hero?

Chimera Awakened by k-c-gilliland
27 parts Complete Mature
He gave me a feline smile as he stalked toward me. I backed away until my heels hit the stall wall and he took advantage of my surprise by stepping in to me, his body a mere whisper from mine. "That's good, Evelyn," he murmured and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. My heart was pounding and I knew my face was betraying everything I was feeling. Damn him. I didn't want to feel this excited clench in my stomach. I didn't want to feel this longing for him. "What are you doing?" My voice was shakier than I would've hoped and far too breathy. "Something I've wanted to do for a very long time." *************************************************** Two hundred years after a powerful sorceress eliminated all modern technology and most of Earth's population, the people left behind live happily with no electricity, no motorized machinery - no advanced technology of any kind. However, many of them now possess magical gifts that were once considered myth. Evelyn Kentala, a talented horse trainer, is an empath and uses her gift to understand animals. Her abilities don't allow her to know the emotions of people - or so she thinks. When Broderick Ryan, the next leader of his and Evelyn's province, returns home after being gone for five years, Evelyn discovers she's much more than an empathic horse trainer. Frightening and rare abilities begin to manifest and she's left reeling when she discovers why. Evelyn and Broderick find themselves drawn to each other as they discover the secrets of her unknown past and fight to keep themselves, and their province, safe from those who wish them harm.
