In the far reaches of the borderlands, where fog swallows the land and old legends linger, a long-abandoned fortress looms over the crumbling village of Fiour. Mercenary captain Tate "Grim" Holst takes a job that promises quick coin but leads him deep into a place where stone walls whisper, paths shift, and every shadow seems to watch. Alongside a ragtag band of unlikely allies, Tate must navigate a labyrinth that defies reason, a place where courage and cunning are tested at every turn.

Dark, tense, and steeped in mystery, Them Bones is a fantasy tale of survival, shifting loyalties, and the haunting pull of secrets best left undisturbed.All Rights Reserved

Bound by Worth Hollow by TheInkedVoid

🌲 Bound by Wroth Hollow 🌲 Some towns vanish from maps. This one vanishes from memory. Detective Daniel Mercer arrives in Wroth Hollow seeking quiet answers. Instead, he finds a town wrapped in mist, where shadows linger longer than they should, and silence feels... rehearsed. The streets are too still. The woods, too watchful. And the deeper he digs, the more the town begins to dig back. Pulled by echoes he can't explain and names no one speaks aloud, Daniel finds himself caught between what is seen and what is felt-between truth and something far older. 🌲 Where memories rot beneath the roots, and time forgets to move forward.

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

In These Days of War by Troublesome_Wench

The elven kingdom of Tírnéth, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector? The book cover was painted by me. :) Content warning: violence, gore, explicit sexual content, mentions and depictions of death, grief, emotional manipulation/abuse, suicidal ideation, and indoctrination.
