In the shadowed valleys of the Seasteun Mountains, the cyclopes once lived in peace-primitive, brutal, but their own. That peace shattered when horned beasts of war descended upon their home, driving the one-eyed giants into chaos and ruin. Among the carnage, survivors were few. Among them, Orestus-a cyclops woman hardened by loss-dragged her people's bitter enemy into exile.

The acts of violence that follow bind Orestus and the minotaur Horgrhm in a web of vengeance, survival, and shame. From the desolate mire to the unforgiving peaks, the echoes of their choices carve paths of destruction. In their wake, something new stirs-something monstrous, something destined.

When the dust settles, will anything remain of their world? Or will their sins give rise to a force that no one can control?All Rights Reserved

Champions of Light: Gaëtano's Sword [Book One] by Natbug4545

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.

Queendom: The Crest, the Crown, and the Heart by authorangiereigns

The Kingdom of Kinatra stands on the brink of collapse. Famine and disease ravage the land, and the brutal Leiis-Münchten war has left it vulnerable. To secure its future, King Gendrada strikes a deal with the powerful Chryaros Kingdom-his only daughter, Princess Olympia, must marry Prince Ascwin, the war's most feared soldier. But for the hot-headed princess this engagement is a betrayal. Why should she need a foreign husband to lead? Why should a white war hero-a man whose ancestors once grew fat on the oppression of hers-have any claim to her people, her land, or her throne? Kinatra was never meant to be ruled by its former oppressors, and the people will never accept a foreign prince as their king. One thing is certain-Olympia will not surrender quietly. She will not bow to some foreign prince. While Olympia doesn't trust Ascwin, a far greater danger lurks in the shadows. Whispers of rebellion grow louder in Kinatra, and the delicate balance of power is on the verge of shattering. Tensions rise, and the future becomes even more uncertain as Ascwin finds himself caught in the crosshairs of an event he could've never imagined. In a kingdom built on freedom, will love become its greatest battle?

The Minotaur's Prey: Dirty Monster Mates Book 1 by Iris2032

Maggie: For as long as I can remember, monsters roamed the Earth. What they were here for, I did not know. One thing I did know though, was to avoid them at all costs or it could cost you your life.

Xorn: Roaming the Earth for hundreds of years as one of the only shapeshifting Minotaur hybrids, I had done many evil deeds. I've lied, cheated, stole, and killed.

What I wanted to do with her, I wasn't able to decide, but I knew one thing: She was mine.

The Holochronicles (Rewritten 2025 Edition) by YeahImAWeirdo

A rewrite of my original Holochronicles story from 2023. The original will remain, but I strongly recommend not reading it , as this will be the superior and in a way "ultimate" edition of the story. (Rated mature for coarse language and violence throughout) Holo City, the place where all the members of Hololive reside. Here they live peaceful lives and enjoy the many places in and around the city, but when five ancient Gods are released upon the world it descends into a land of chaos and destruction! Can HoloMyth put the Gods back to rest before they destroy the world as they know it?

Vengeance Of The Lost.. by my_curious_mind

Earlier the genre was Teen Fiction, but I realized it did not fit, so I shifted it to the action genre. When it was in teen fiction it was ranked #154 as if on 25-05-2017. E-Awards Winner 2017 in Action genre! A big thanks to @leaving_forever for the amazing cover!!!
