The Balmōr Chronicles 
BOOK ONE

Luther Tremaine has been a thief for a very long time. 
Before his baby sister got sick, and even before his ma was killed.
It was how he stayed alive.
Until the Captain of the Kings Guard catches Luther making off with his purse.

Now, a thirty-two year old Luther is that same Captains right hand, and commander to an elite group of Kings Guard known as the Grieves. 

When the King suddenly falls ill, Luther and his men are sent to find a miracle cure. What they find instead is a land, and a people, very different from their own.

A people that are hiding something.

Something that the Captain wants.. and will do anything to get.

To Make a Kinder Children's Tale by cynicalchristian

Esme had one big fear in life: being captured as a thief by the city's guardsmen and being executed for her crimes, and that so heavily weighed on her mind that she increased her risks by being distracted in the middle of a heist. That's when she runs into Althalos Fourthborn: Inner Circle Guardsman, one of the many princes of the realm, an Aelif (Dark Elf, local dialect)...and her betrothed by treaty. (That was something her almost human mind could not handle.) So she calls off the heist, gets demoted into a far more risky job, learns the true bitter depth of what this treaty's bond is like, and lands safely by her prince's side....sort of. There were people who still wanted to end her life, even if she was in what most people would call a Happily Ever After. That and her prince had his own living fears that were gnawing at any chance they had. That and she might just lose her mind from everyday boredom. But the one she couldn't wrap her all-too human mind around was that she would one day grow wings and fly away from her almost Happily Ever After to live in a hive with ancestors more alien than a hottie with pointed ears and abandonment issues. ~~~~ Yes, there are adult themes in this book, and difficult subjects, but nothing is excessive, as this is probably my simplest story. So, trigger warnings: A history of assault. Occasional vulgar language. References to partial cannibaliam. Extremely mild, light, and rare sex scenes. At least one elitist mentality. ~~~~ Ages of MC/ML: Esme: Apparent age of 24, roughly 20 years lived (mostly human). Althalos: Apparent age of 30, roughly 65 years lived (Elves mature slower).

Bite Me ✔ by theGhoulBoys_

《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018

Magics: Escape (Book 2) by Fan_FictionGirl2

It's been five years since Kai's life was completely turned upside down, but he is extremely grateful for the things that have happened. The deaths not included, things have changed for the better. Kai feels that if those men and Thorn hadn't showed up at his home, Abby wouldn't be his girlfriend, Chase wouldn't be his best friend, Shintaro wouldn't be an amazing "therapist" (as Chase calls it) to Kai, Linda wouldn't be like a mother to him, Gabriel wouldn't be the funny-in-his-own-antisocial-way friend (he had his own home in the town, so he often visited), and Kai wouldn't be as close to his father has he is now. Kai is actually enjoying his new life in this strange town. The village is "ruled" by a young woman named Ruby, and everyone there adores her for being such a great leader. Kai has only met her once or twice, but she seems very nice. But there is something prickling at the back of Kai's mind, and it unsettles him greatly. Ever since Moon vanished after killing Luke, she hasn't been spotted anywhere. Kai often wonders if she is somewhere far from where they are now, planning her next attack. When a series of strange events start happening around the town, Kai is certain that Moon is back and playing her game with them. In a way, he is right. But there are many things that he is also wrong about. During the midst of it all, Shintaro gets captured, sending Kai down a path of despair and hopelessness. He feels responsible for getting Shintaro back, but he doesn't know what he's up against. Thankfully, his friends don't let him do it by himself. As always, they have his back. And soon, new friends are there behind him, too. The group finds that Moon is behind all of this, but she isn't doing it for herself. She has Shintaro for a certain reason, and the friends are soon to find out what is at stake. The lives of others, including loved ones.

The Demon King by moatzart

*word of advice, if poorly written books annoy you don't read. If you do you better not complain in my comments lol* Never steal from kings. Especially the king of demons. She hadn't expected her young brothers to steal, she hadn't thought of that scenario or what she would do. So she does what she does best, put those who she loves the most above herself. "I'm sick of this. I'm sick of you!" He bellowed in my face. I took the mask off, "I just need you out of my fucking system." He says as he stalks closer to me. Our chests press together, I look at him coldly. Tears stingy my eyes and my throat tight. "Do what you have to do, my king." He rips the necklace right off my neck.

Knight's Quest by Bowtieman

This is the tale of a noble knight, Sir Nathaniel, and the all powerful Writer, creator of all. It begins like almost every other knight story, but quickly goes down a path unheard of, as the knight tries to become the Writer of his own story. These two fight for the power, and constantly try to out whit each other by any means. Including putting each other in prison, messing with their love interests, and almost killing each other. Soon plot twists occur, and magicians, assassins, and thieves get involved. Things go from crazy to plain unheard of. Romance, action, and adventure litter the pages. This is a story you won't be able to get out of. This book is based off the story co-written by Josiah Bender (Drake Austen) and Nathan Strecker (Bowtieman). Please note that this story is still in the making. If you find any typos or have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments. Also check out Drake Austen's version from the Writer's perspective. I am also looking for editors of this book, if you are interested, just let me know.

Through Ash and Iron (On Hold) by Ivaihn

In a world divided by war, where rivalries burn hotter than the sun and the clash of swords echoes through the ages, two commanders forged an unexplainable bond in their final moments-a bond that would become legend.** When the battlefield claimed Azrion and Rhael, enemies sworn to destroy one another, their intertwined hands told a tale the world would never forget. Some called it fate, others a fleeting touch of the divine. No one knew the truth behind their final act of unity. Centuries later, their story lingers in whispers, a warning and a mystery. Kai and Jeyrick, bitter rivals in a kingdom on the brink, care little for ancient legends. Their only focus is outwitting each other in a rivalry as fierce as the storms that plague their lands. Yet, when they are thrown together on a mission that could tip the scales of war, they begin to question the roles they've always played. Is their rivalry born of hatred, or is there a deeper reason their paths always cross? As shadows loom and destiny stirs, Kai and Jeyrick must face the truth: sometimes, the enemy you fight the hardest is the one you're meant to save. A tale of war, destiny, and the bonds that transcend hatred, *The Binding of Rivals* will grip your heart and leave you questioning the power of fate and the true meaning of brotherhood. "Fated to fight, Destined to unite"
