As young Kyron stands before his father, he learns the truth of his origins-a revelation that would forever change his understanding of who he is and what he is destined to become. In that underground chamber, surrounded by his family and the artifacts of their hidden past, Kyron hears a tale that stretches back across the ages-a tale of monarchs, betrayal, and survival.

His father speaks of the distant past, 4,015 years ago, in a world of monarchs and powerful clans. It is a story of how kingdoms rose and fell, of the five great powers that ruled Gaia, and of the conflicts that shattered the balance between them. At the center of this history lies Cassandra Westbook, Kyron's grandmother-the last of the Shepherds, a clan whose power was feared and coveted by many.

This is the story of Cassandra Westbook, a woman who fought to protect her people and her legacy as the world around her descended into chaos. It is the story of her courage, her sacrifice, and her determination to see her people's light endure, even in the darkest of times. As the last Shepherd, she faced insurmountable odds, battling forces determined to extinguish her clan's power forever.

But this is not just Cassandra's story-it is also Kyron's. The revelations of his origins are more than just a history lesson; they are a call to action. With the Day of Red Metal looming on the horizon, Kyron must decide how he will carry forward the legacy of the Shepherds. The world once again stands on the edge of ruin, and the question remains-will Kyron rise to the challenge and reclaim his people's place in the world, or will the Shepherds fade into legend forever?

In the face of ancient rivalries and the looming threat of chaos, Kyron must draw strength from the story of his ancestors, harnessing the power within him. For in his veins runs the blood of the last Shepherd-a power that could be the key to saving not only his family but the entire world of Gaia.

Masks of Fear and Shadow by EivorTaika
35 parts Ongoing Mature
"Between the Jaws of Fate, a spark shall ignite, born of shadow and flame, a breath against the void. Its cry will shatter the silence, a sound the gods will fear, and its steps will weave the end of all that was known. When the rivers run black and the skies open their veins, chains unseen will crumble, and what sleeps shall wake. In its veins, the threads of creation unravel, and in its shadow, the world will bow or break. Beware the herald of dusk and dawn, for its will is neither mercy nor malice, but the breaking of the wheel, and the scream of what lies beyond." Eowyn Aeloria, heir to the gods' throne in Ebonmere, has spent her life under her mother, Queen Vespera's, tyrannical rule and harsh consequences. When she has a run in with Cylas, a brooding blacksmith hiding from the shadows of his own bloodline, they discover a connection that defies the boundaries between their warring worlds- and Queen Vespera forbidding their entanglement, along with a life-changing revelation, sparks a dangerous rebellion neither of them can resist. Cylas, once a ruthless general for the Sylvaneth kingdom of Noctyra, seeks refuge from a violent past-and from his mother, Queen Elira, who has made it her life's work to eradicate Eowyn's kind from existence through any means necessary. But meeting Eowyn awakens both his heart and a power that he can no longer keep hidden. As Eowyn and Cylas battle to keep their bond secret, whispers of an ancient power and prophecy awaken, placing them in the center of a conflict that could either save their world or destroy it. Now, with the future of the people of each of their kingdoms hanging in the balance, Eowyn and Cylas must decide if they should follow the path that is already written, or to feed the Jaws of Fate. ***There may be edits and changes until the entirety of the book is completed; so I apologize in advance for that***

The fall by Aileenloves
54 parts Complete
For generations, the Dorothea family has borne what they call a "curse," though others whisper of it as a dark inheritance-a twisted irony for a name that means "Gift of God." This so-called gift was anything but divine. It was said that when the mother of a firstborn child perished, the curse passed to the child, marking them as its next vessel. On the night of the crimson moon, that child would be driven by forces beyond their control, becoming an unrelenting harbinger of death for those steeped in sin. The curse claimed Penelope Dorothea as an infant, sealing her fate before she even had a chance to live. To save her, she was spirited away to the neighboring country of Valort and taken in by the revered General of Sylvan, a man known for his unshakable honor and strength. But Penelope grew up with no memory of the family that had forsaken her, nor of the dark legacy that coursed through her veins. In Sylvan, she carved a life of her own, rising through the ranks to become the respected Captain of District 8. Along the way, she fell deeply in love with Blake Laurens, the General's son-a man who seemed to embody everything noble and good. But love is never simple, especially for one burdened with shadows. As Penelope's past begins to unravel, she discovers a truth far more chilling than the curse she thought she had escaped. Blake is not the man he seemed, and the ties that bind them may be far more dangerous than she could ever imagine. With each crimson moon, the curse stirs, and Penelope is forced to confront a dark prophecy that could either consume her...or reveal who she was always meant to be.

A Fate Forged in Legends and Bones by wvgirl123
31 parts Ongoing Mature
Evangeline Blake believes in facts, not fairy tales. As a history student in the modern world, she stumbles upon an obscure book detailing the legend of the Velcorian Empire and its infamous warlord, Kastiel Drovac. The myth interests her, but that's all it ever is-a story. Until she finds an antique necklace that won't come off and wakes up in the very empire she read about. Kastiel, the man whose name filled the book's pages, is real-and far more terrifying in person. Scarred by war and betrayal, he has no patience for a woman who shouldn't exist in his world. Evangeline is just as desperate to escape him as he is to be rid of her. But when the necklace awakens a power long thought lost-the ability to control life and death-Kastiel realizes he can't let her go. Hatred simmers between them. He is violent, unyielding, and sees her as a burden. She fears him, refuses to trust him, and clings to the hope of returning home. But war forces strange alliances, and when betrayal from Kastiel's inner circle delivers Evangeline into the hands of the emperor, both of them must confront an unsettling truth-they may be each other's only salvation. The emperor offers Evangeline a choice: fight for him against the rebellion or be forced into marriage, ensuring his heirs inherit her power. Desperate to escape, she uncovers a secret that ties her fate to Kastiel's more than either of them realized-his mother, a woman who once wore the same necklace, may have walked between their worlds before her. As the upcoming war reaches its breaking point, Kastiel and Evangeline must face an impossible choice-fight for a love that was never meant to last or let history take its course. But some stories refuse to fade, and as legends are rewritten, Evangeline will come to learn that myths are not just born from the past-they are shaped by those who live them.

40 parts Complete Mature

Book One of the Rjg Trilogy Hidden threads run deep within the savage Danna blood, giving rise to mysterious powers in people who share their ancestry. Some call these threads fate, some call them relics of an ancient technology and the remnants of the progenitor's last will. Whatever the truth is, his blood had caused slave miner Yaren nothing but trouble, yet also provided him with solutions beyond those he could fully comprehend. Once broken free from his captivity, with the help of friends and newly found family Yaren sets out to learn more about the strange power he possesses and the people he had inherited his dangerous legacy from, aiming to reshape the world according to his brutal vision. Will he be able to carry the proud name of a Rjg, a being to lead the way for others to follow to a brighter future, or is this new future more than a former slave will be able to handle? ************************************************************************************* For those curious how to pronounce the word: Rjg reads with a short i, the palatal approximant /j/ like the pronunciation of ⟨y⟩ in toy, and g is the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨g⟩ in go.
