Crown of Shadow and Glory

The Crown of Shadow and Glory is an ancient relic crafted from obsidian black metal intertwined with golden veins that shimmer like sunlight piercing through the darkest night. Crimson gemstones encrust its jagged points, symbolizing the blood of those who sought power through its allure.

This artifact bestows immense power upon its wearer, granting them unmatched strength, command over armies, and an aura of fear and reverence. Yet, such glory comes at a steep price. For every victory achieved, the crown whispers temptations of betrayal and despair, its shadowy influence consuming the wearer's soul.

Legends speak of a forgotten king who ruled with the crown, achieving greatness but falling to madness, his kingdom crumbling under the weight of his greed. It is said the crown now lies in a cursed ruin, shrouded in eternal darkness, awaiting a new master to challenge its power and face the ultimate question: can one claim glory without surrendering to shadow?

The Envoy of Darkness by maxanonymity

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next.

The Forgotten Crown by JordanHaviland

After ten years of rebellion, pillage, and death, the civil war between humans and fae finally ended. Peace and prosperity came with the birth of the mortal country, Ellesmere. The humans were free from their fae masters. Two decades later, Morana Stavenger has made a reputation in the overpopulated city of Molwreeth. She is the only female halfling in the city, perhaps the entire country. With her snow-white hair and amber eyes, her fae blood strikes fear into all who see her. That fear is what makes her career as a thief and mercenary so easy. After being orphaned at only thirteen, Morana had no other choice but to turn to crime to survive. With the aid of her caregiver and employer, The Madame Wyvern, Lydia Stavenger, her life is now comfortable and full of coin. Until the night a mysterious man burns her life as she knows it to ash. Follow Morana through a world filled with monsters, magic, and secrecy as she's forced into a new identity in order to repay a debt to the arrogant and cruel, Jovah Windsinger. Amid her journey, she uncovers darker secrets than she could ever imagine-secrets that will make her question everything. Will Morana survive long enough to escape back to her homeland, or will the evil lurking in the shadows devour her?

the rise of the void by prsolsona

After their victory at the Temple of Elarion, the guardians are celebrated as heroes, but they know the threat of the Void is far from over. The dark leader's ominous words echo in their minds, spurring them to uncover more about this looming menace. As they study the tome and consult with scholars and sages, they learn that the Void is an ancient, primordial force of chaos and entropy, intent on unbalancing the world and consuming its light. The guardians' quest takes them across diverse and dangerous lands. They seek out hidden archives, long-forgotten temples, and wise hermits, each revealing pieces of a larger puzzle. They learn that the Void can be temporarily repelled but never fully destroyed, as it is a natural counterpart to the light. However, there are ways to maintain the balance, ensuring that neither side gains dominance. Their journey is fraught with peril as the Void's influence begins to manifest more visibly, corrupting nature, warping creatures, and drawing in those who seek power. The guardians must face off against these corrupted beings, all while dealing with their internal struggles and the growing pressure of their mission. In a climactic revelation, they discover that the convergence mentioned in the tome-the alignment of stars that amplifies the Star of Elion's power-also has a counterpart: a celestial event that strengthens the Void's influence. This event is rapidly approaching, and the guardians realize they must act quickly to prepare. The story culminates in a desperate bid to gather allies and fortify a sacred site believed to be a focal point of the Void's influence. As the celestial event looms, the guardians face their greatest challenge yet, battling not just physical manifestations of the Void but also the lure of despair and doubt within themselves.

The Shattered Crown by SushiiSushi

When a powerful artifact is stolen, Elara, a young mage, must embark on a treacherous journey to retrieve it before the realm falls into chaos, all while unraveling dark secrets about her own lineage. The realm of Azalea is held together by a mystical artifact known as the Crown of Aether, a relic that grants its wearer the power to maintain balance between the forces of light and shadow. For centuries, the crown has ensured peace across the land. But when the crown is mysteriously shattered and its pieces scattered across the realm, the delicate balance falters, unleashing untold havoc upon Azalea. Elara, a gifted but untested mage, discovers that she is the key to restoring the crown. But as she sets out on her quest, she faces not only powerful enemies vying for the crown's pieces, but also the revelation that her family is deeply entangled in the crown's ancient magic. With each step, Elara must decide whom she can trust and what she's willing to sacrifice to prevent the impending war that threatens to consume everything she holds dear. Through eight gripping chapters, Elara encounters mythical creatures, powerful magic, and deceptions that challenge her resolve. But the true test comes when she learns that restoring the crown may not be the salvation the realm seeks, but rather, the key to an even greater evil.

Threads of Fate by LeeraIvy

The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics.
