They said the woods would eat you alive.

Not with teeth,  but with silence.
With the kind of dread that crawls beneath your skin and whispers that you shouldn't have come... to Zenithara.

In a kingdom where ice cracks beneath their will and loyalty breaks faster still...

The Sacred Hour draws near, a moment generations dread to see. A moment that could reshape the world... or end it.

Amalia was never meant to be more than a ghost in her father's court, until the night she crossed blades with a masked stranger. The one who changed everything.

In Zenithara, truth is dangerous.
And survival costs more than blood.

Keep up.
Or fall behind.

Lovers to enemies.
Secret identities. 
One Sacred Hour to change everything.

My dearest Aurelia by RayhanaNaggay

They called you a witch. They made you disappear. But your story didn't vanish with the smoke. I never knew you. And yet, I carry your name on my tongue like a secret I was never meant to speak. The lies they told still echo in our forest, in the halls of the castle, in the eyes of those who fear the truth. But I will find it. Piece by piece. Even if it means losing myself along the way. Because if the world dared to silence you, then it's my voice they'll hear next.

The Forgotten Prophecy by AlexandraLing2000

*undergoing rapid editing, but feel free to read it* In a world where humans and elves had always lived in harmony, a prophecy was made that an evil power would arise and bring the ruin of the human kingdom. Blinded by fear, the human race turned against the elves and the animosities that followed were to transform their kingdoms. Ines is a woman living in a man's world. No one in the army knows her true identity, and she'd rather keep it that way. Unbeknownst to her, though, someone has already found out her secret and her time is running out. She will have to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and her past that are slowly rising to the surface, and hope she is not too late. . . . . . '𝖂𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊'𝖘 𝖕𝖔𝖎𝖘𝖔𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊'𝖘 𝖆 𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖊𝖉𝖞.'

The Deathly Scream - 𝟙 by LauraChelsey

I screamed, not even realising the force of it. Another loved one had died. Rosalia Martinez, princess of Ethura, never had an easy life growing up. With her mother dying at a young age and her father who doesn't seem interested in her, she lives an abandoned life in her Kingdom. Rosalia always wanted to become a warrior, but when her older sister decides to host a Selection, all her freedom is taken away. No more hunting deer, no more fighting with the soldiers. It is the moment she finds an old history book her life changes more than she could ever imagine. The unsolved mystery of a secret Kingdom and a cloaked woman haunts her. Not only in her dreams, but also in real life. As if she doesn't bring herself in enough trouble, a young man arrives at the castle, stealing her heart before she even realises. Can forbidden love overcome danger? Or does she become the warrior she dreamed to be?

Veins of Fire and Prophecy by Iria_Vell05

Before the fire, there was a name. Before the name, there was a scream. The world remembers the war as myth. The gods remember it as treason. And one cursed king cannot forget it at all. Aelira dreams of mirrors and fire, of a stranger's grief and a voice that calls her through centuries. The stars have begun to move again. The old signs bleed through the seams of the present. Far away, a beast waits beside a broken throne and a blade he dares not unsheathe. The silence he carved with blood begins to stir, and the name he buried beneath ash begins to rise. Something is waking. Something that once burned the world to its bones. And it is not finished.

Over My Rainbow by LAamber14

Amantha is not ready to be anything other than a wild, tomboy princess, but when tragedy strikes this unlikely royal is called upon to rule a kingdom. Scared to grow up, she runs away from responsibility and finds a new world in an adventure to find out who she really is inside. While Amantha is no princess in distress, she has much to learn about the world of magic and mystery and along with the help of a beautiful boy with a secret past, she uncovers the fairy tale world that lives right outside of her kingdom. "When I was little, I didn't believe that there was magic. I had been taught that no elves, witches, leprechauns, unicorns, harpies, trolls or dragons had ever existed. No one could turn into anything else and everything happened for a reason. Now that I'm older, I realize that even if a tutor told me those things, you can't believe everything people say. I happen to know that magic exists because I have seen it with my own eyes. If you believe that dreams come true, they will. And fairy tales aren't only in story books."

When Dragons Bow by RheaValentyne

Some loves are written in the stars, some in fire... and some are meant to defy fate itself. She is a maiden promised to the gods. He is a Dragon Lord in human form. Their meeting in the endless night forest was forbidden, their love impossible... yet inevitable. Prophecies whispered of destruction. The gods demanded obedience. And yet, against all warnings, against destiny itself, their hearts chose each other. Follow their journey through darkness and fire, trials and battles, forbidden desire and tender intimacy, as love rises where fate tried to forbid it. Will they survive the gods' wrath, the prophecy, and their own fears? Or will their love be burned before it can truly ignite?

Veil of Twilight by Hermetic_Phoenix

Finally, the vampire spoke again, his voice deadly serious. "So, the question remains: will you trust me and undertake this dangerous journey, or will you choose an end far less... glamorous?" I folded my arms to keep my hands from shaking. "So, if I help you, I risk everything. If I don't... I risk just as much, don't I?" My voice betrayed me, cracking on the last word. Amberfield is a city of secrets, and Masha has her share. But when her curiosity leads her into the depths of a forgotten dungeon, she awakens something far older-and far more dangerous-than she could have imagined. Bound to a reluctant alliance with a mysterious vampire, Masha is thrust into a world where shadows have teeth and trust may be deadlier than betrayal. But in a world where monsters wear many faces, will she uncover the truth before it's too late? 🏅4 in Occult Copyright ©️ 2025 by J.A Phoenix This story was originally written in 2023 and is currently undergoing revision.

A crown of Secrets and Fire by MaryRose_Author

I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1] by Chryiss_Rose

Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world.
