For centuries, the people of Labirent have thrived behind the towering Wall-an impenetrable barrier protecting them from a predatory race known as sylvans that prowl the world beyond. The citizens live in peace, but the strict laws that bind them eventually give rise to rebels and criminals, heretics and heroes alike as resources start to dwindle.

Rhaskrea, a gifted healer, has always adhered to the laws, using her talent to mend bodies and ease suffering caused by a band of insurgents known as the Harbingers, for whom she works.

An ambush on the Harbinger's lair sends Rhaskrea and the Harbinger's leader over the Wall. As she journeys to find a way back in, Rhaskrea uncovers secrets about the Wall that might be the key to unraveling the mysteries behind Labirent's isolation-if she survives long enough to tell them. 

˚. ─────⊱ °✠° ⊰─────.˚

Attack on Titan meets Labyrinth with a dash of Prince of Thorns in this grimdark fantasy tale of courage, discovery, and the blurred line between safety and freedom.

TW: Depictions of violence, assault, gore, child labor, and amorality.

The Taste of Iron от Easterhead

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

Ellemoore Academia от rosesaregrimy

For centuries, Ellerysium thrived, guarded by ten ancient crystals, each pulsing with unimaginable power. Entrusted to Elara, immortal guardian and daughter of Ellemoore Academia's founder, peace was once a promise. But peace never lasts forever. Her sister, Seraphina, once beloved by the people, betrayed them all. She stole four crystals, Emberstone, Thunderheart Amethyst, Luminescent Opal, and the Eclipsium Prism, and vanished into the shadows. In time, she forged her own kingdom: Aetheria. With her army of loyal followers, the Hallows, Seraphina declared war. She even performed a forbidden ritual, summoning the Dark Ascendant, a monstrous force meant to tip the scales in her favor. But Elara, at great cost, defeated it. Ellerysium splintered. The world divided. Now, with the conflict on the brink of chaos, Ellemoore Academia begins preparing its next defenders. Seven students. Diana, Blake, Dave, Xylon, Lexi, Sophia, and Savanna, are chosen to join the elite Warrior Angels. What once felt like training, rivalry, and friendship soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Secrets buried in legend begin to resurface. Loyalties will be tested. And as their first mission looms... one thing becomes painfully clear: This isn't just about a kingdom. It's about the truths they were never told. The choices that will define them. And the sacrifices they'll be forced to make. Because in a world built on magic, betrayal, and destiny, some will rise... and others will fall.

Nightwalker | ONC 2025 LONGLISTER от blackrxse05

|ONC 2025 LONGLISTER & ROUND 2 AMBASSADOR'S PICK||1X FEATURED| It has been a week since the old mausoleum at the Nethermly Cemetery collapsed without warning. This week has been full of unexplained deaths and strange sightings. Like every resident of Nethermly, Reverie Ashford had locked herself safely in her house. She planned to enjoy some peace and quiet until the town returned to normal. But of course, the universe seems to hate her: The first newcomer the town has had in centuries had to come knocking at her door. Draven did not want to ask for her help. But his people had been massacred, and if the remaining few didn't act fast, the same would happen to the oblivious residents of Nethermly. He did not want to dig up his past, nor did he want to drag an unwilling girl into this. But they needed every help they could get, and they were running out of time. If they failed, Nethermly would be erased from the map. Prompt 86: Nobody new has come to your hidden town in centuries - until now. Someone appears on your doorstep, claiming they're here to find you. But how do they know your name? Prompt 103: After a catastrophic accident affects an entire town, the residents begin experiencing strange and inexplicable symptoms. ~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Gold Awards 2025: Best First Line 4th place Rose Gold Awards 2025: Paranormal 5th place

Byzantine Purple от TeodoratheScholar

"History is a survivor's tale. It knows no villains. Only failures." A decade ago, Leudora had her major enemies eliminated - the scientist known as the Dalmatian Serpent, and his followers, who sought her people's blood. A ruthless guardian of her kin and an unscrupulous politician, Leudora lived with her guilty conscience for as long as the invisible barrier that shields civilization from madness remained intact. But it is no longer so. When the Veil starts to fade, slowly poisoning the air and endangering those whom she once sought to protect, Leudora wants answers. She does not expect it when the answers confirm the Dalmatian Serpent's theories: Leudora's own people, conducting bloody experiments to protect themselves from their powerful neighbors, are causing the Veil's degradation. If this gets out, not only the guilty, but all her people will be blamed. Trying to prevent a war and stop the Veil's decay, Leudora turns to her enemy's research. The deeper she delves into the Dalmatian Serpent's secrets, the more Leudora finds herself drawn to his fascinating mind and dark science. If she follows in his footsteps, all her kin will turn against her. If Leudora stays loyal to her people, she will have to side with those who may bring them all to the verge of extinction. ------------------- Welcome to the first version of my work that I published on Wattpad. The Story of the Basilisk and the Serpent is complete. However, the great game will continue in "The Noblest Shroud", the second part of the trilogy. Trigger Warnings: questionable morals, angst, mild gore, occasional violence. That should cover it. If you don't mind these aspects, you will (most likely) enjoy reading my work. The new magnificent cover is created by @lavendareyes, a graphic designer and an author, whose creative work deserves all attention and praise.

" The Last Note She Left " от HemaMercy

Genre: Romance | Mystery | Drama ⚠ WARNING BEFORE YOU ENTER ⚠ This is not a love story. It's a story of secrets, betrayal, and the price of trust. Every smile hides a blade. Every embrace could be the last. The people you meet here are liars-even the dead ones. If you think you know the truth... you don't. Read carefully. Every chapter is a clue. Every word could save-or destroy-them. And when you finish, ask yourself only one question: Who would you trust when everyone wants you dead?

Lights of Aurelith (The Elandor Series #1) от fantasytakesreality

On the continent of Elandor, everyone is divided by kingdom. Every kingdom has its own rules, its own magic, and its own people. Yet once children reach age eighteen, they are all summoned into one Academy. There, enemies are placed in neighboring dorms and old grudges are carried into the common area. The Academy was never built on trust - it was built on fear. Fear that without it, the kingdoms would forget the fragile threads that keep war at bay. We're not supposed to trust each other, let alone care for one another. But tell me how I'm supposed to ignore the one person I can't stop looking at? To walk the Academy's corridors is to carry the weight of every border, every scar, every whispered hatred. No one arrives without suspicion. No one leaves unchanged. I would also like to add that I got a lot of inspiration from Fourth Wing, ACOTAR, and Tangled :)
