Talon Fury grew up believing he was just another orphaned boy training to be a knight. He pushed himself harder than anyone, rising through the ranks with a discipline that impressed even King Onwards, a wise ruler who saw greatness in him from the start. But Talon's true heritage was a secret buried in fire and blood.

Ten years ago, Talon's father died defending the realm from the Ashveil-the dark world where nightmares are born. What Talon never knew was that his father was one of the Dragonborne, an ancient lineage blessed with fire in their veins and sworn to protect the mortal world from the darkness beyond.

Now, at twenty-five, Talon stands on the edge of destiny.

The Gate of Ashveil is opening once more. Shadows spill across the land. Creatures of smoke and hunger claw their way into the world. As chaos spreads, Talon discovers a power within himself-one he never asked for, one he barely understands, and one that could either save the realm... or burn it to ash.

Haunted by the legacy of a father he never truly knew, Talon must journey across kingdoms, uncover ancient truths, and embrace the fire that has always been inside him. For only a Dragonborne can stand against the rising darkness.

And Talon Fury may be the last.

Before she was the hunted, she was the heir. Aria was born with a crown on her head and a cage around her ribs. As the daughter of the Serpent House, her life was a blueprint of bloodlines and duty: Secure Nexus mates from within the House. Awaken the Gift buried in her bones. Preserve the legacy at any cost. But Aria was never made to follow. And fate doesn't care for tradition. Her heart already belonged to the one man she was forbidden to love - her brother's best friend. And when her Gift finally stirred, it wasn't the weapon her family had waited for. It was quiet. Unexpected. A power they barely acknowledged - and one she was never meant to wield. Torn between the life she was born into and the power awakening inside her, Aria makes a single, irreversible choice. One that fractures her family, shatters her destiny, and lights a fuse beneath everything she thought she understood. Rebellion is no longer a rumor. Enemies wear familiar faces. And the most dangerous secrets are the ones written in her own blood. This is not a love story. It's the story of what love ruins - and what rises from the wreckage. _______ What to Expect: Unbound - The Awakening is a why-choose prequel: Aria's heart won't be claimed by just one. 🔥 Smut? Yes - but not right away. This one burns slow and deep. 🖤 Expect tension, heartbreak, soft touches, sharp edges, and impossible choices. ⚠️ Not all of her Nexus mates appear in this book. But the storm begins here.
Chronicles of Eldoria by Mistyhxrizo
25 parts Complete
In the mystical land of Eldoria, five ancient kingdoms-Aurora, Terranova, Drakenfell, Lunaris, and Sylvanwood-are thrust into chaos when a malevolent force known as the Shadowveil awakens. The kingdoms have long been protected by powerful artifacts, each guarded by one of the royal families. However, when the Shadowveil corrupts Sylvanwood's artifact, the balance of power crumbles, threatening to plunge the entire world into darkness. Lyra, a young healer from Sylvanwood, discovers she possesses a mysterious connection to the ancient artifacts. Realizing that she might be the only one capable of purifying them, Lyra embarks on a perilous quest to unite the five artifacts and restore balance to Eldoria. Along the way, she is joined by a group of unlikely allies: Kael, a vengeful warrior from Drakenfell; Arianna, a prophetic princess from Aurora; Zane, a rogue mage from Lunaris; and Thorne, a noble knight from Terranova. As they journey through treacherous lands, facing ancient curses, and powerful enemies, the group's trust in one another is tested by hidden secrets and dark revelations. Kael is revealed to have a cursed connection to the Shadowveil, casting doubt on his loyalty. Arianna's true motive for joining the quest is unveiled-she seeks to change a prophecy that foretells her as the catalyst for the world's destruction, even if it means betraying her friends. Zane's ambition leads him to strike a deal with the Shadowveil, betraying the group for power before he realizes his mistake. The biggest twist comes when the group learns that the artifacts are not simply protective relics but pieces of a divine entity that once created the Shadowveil. The entity demands that one of them must sacrifice their humanity to contain the Shadowveil forever. Lyra, discovering her destiny as the reincarnation of the hero who first defeated the Shadowveil, makes the ultimate choice to merge with the entity, sealing the Shadowveil away but losing herself in the process.
