France, 1917.
The Great War rages on, and 14-year-old Madeline Rappeneau fights a battle on two fronts.
By day, she volunteers at a hospital as a nurse's aide. By night, she sneaks into the muddy trenches as a field medic. Aiding her is a mystical bracer once owned by the legendary Jeanne d'Arc.
Intuitive and headstrong, Madeline uses medical skills gleaned from her father and the ancient armor's power to save lives on the battlefield. But an unknown force with knowledge of the bracer's true abilities conspires to bend her fate toward their own. The German war machine becomes the least of her worries when Madeline and her closest friend embark on a quest for answers, encountering nightmarish living puppets and life-threatening riddles.
A game of stealth and survival unfolds as Madeline races across the French landscape to unlock the secrets of Jeanne d'Arc and her bracer... or risk falling to the same grisly fate.

The Shepherd: The Struggle For Power And Freedom
"Ten years ago, they summoned me to save their dying dynasty. They got something else entirely." Louis LaVoie was just a 22-year-old engineering student when the Empire of Fiercœur tore him from his world. They wanted a hero. They needed a savior. They got a murderer. "I loathe my old world. There, men are abandoned by society, left weak and purposeless. Here in Fiercœur, I found what I truly am." In a realm where three dynasties tear each other apart in brutal civil war, Louis discovers that his greatest weapon isn't the mysterious power to summon objects from his world. It's something far more dangerous: the ability to turn back time, keeping only his memories of what's to come. Taking advantage of mistakes that never happen. "When someone fights you, you don't defend your honor. You defend your life." But power comes at a price. As Louis transforms from soft student to hardened warrior, he must navigate deadly politics, nomadic horse archers, and the brutal training that forges Fiercœurois soldiers into living weapons. "I decide which sheep live and die. As long as I have a flock to lead." The Cœurvaillant Dynasty is outnumbered. Their enemies are closing in. And their supposed savior has learned that in Fiercœur, mercy is earned through strength, not given through weakness. "Violence works. When it works, it's extremely potent." Some called him hero. Others called him monster. He calls himself Fiercœurois. "I am proud of what I've become. I don't care if you hate me for it." From brilliant student to merciless commander, witness the transformation of a man who found his true nature in a world that celebrates becoming strong. Welcome to Fiercœur. Where proud hearts forge empires in blood. Cover made by @yeeetrt

Suicidal
This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering".
