For satyr Thepa Warbol, the world of Sainta has been at war for as long as she can remember. Savage beasts ravage the land, and the once-strong alliance of the five nations is crumbling under the growing horde's onslaught. As resources dwindle and conscription claims every able body, Thepa-daughter of the Matriarch-is no exception.

But Thepa refuses to fade into the ranks. Defying her mother's expectations, she shatters the chains of the Matriarchy and becomes the first-ever female Captain of the Goldale Guard. Battling self-doubt and a mysterious, untapped power, she's forced to confront the path laid out before her. As a new threat emerges and a forgotten past comes to light, Thepa faces an impossible choice: embrace her newfound freedom, or surrender to a fateful birthright.

Inside the Beast's Castle by no_kidding

"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

Rina, a young Denese woman leaves her home in Eurora's northern outpost, Amadore, and travels to the capital, Nebia, determined to find a way to convince Mai and the Magisterium to free her people before they rise up.

Kraals and Magic by Ensii99

It's thousand of years after the pact war. A war that changed the balance of the world. Such that, in one part of the world magic reigns supreme, and the other part lacks; thousands of kingdoms and a plain where a man can run forever. Woka Firg, chieftain of Masakar, a village in the south of the unending plain is frustrated by his gods. Who demands cruel sacrifices and seldom gives fortune; who watches with folded arms as the floods take their homes. Woka is further unsettled as a wizard tells him his kraal will not survive the season___ as the flood from the north is unstoppable. Woka and his family must find ways to survive. At war or in foreign land.... a plain man is never out of his depth. Ike an ageless assassin wants to save himself; wants a god that will grant him mercy for what he did in the past. Ifeoma and her grandson, Tooka, embarks on a journey to stop a world from falling and prevent history from repeating itself. Your votes and comments will be appreciated.

Discordant Note | TBATE by TMKnightDev

(Part 1/3 of Discordant Note) (Part 2: https://www.wattpad.com/story/369154315-discordant-note-crescendo-tbate) Toren Daen was weak; crushed under the oppressive boot of the Vritra's strength-based society. But after the desperate last gamble of a failing deity imbues him with more knowledge than he ever dreamed of, he is forced to enter a proxy war between asuran clans that has lasted for untold generations. Armed with knowledge of the future and the potential to change it, Toren will have to face highbloods, corrupt churches, dangerous beasts, and power-hungry asura to get what he needs. If he wishes to survive, he will have to alter the future in a way that will keep him and those he cares for safe from the approaching tide of war and death, all while hiding a burning secret in his core from the very leaders of the continent he lives on. For Alacrya--and by extension, Toren himself--is a mere piece in a larger game between the gods. And when deities play chess with the lives of mortals as pawns, only bloodshed follows.

Red's Wolves by druidrose

Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023
