Many don't know how she was born, some saying that she was the daughter of the blazing sun while others say that she was born from ashes during an alluring eclipse. The name they called her? Malaika Kya. Angel from the diamond sky. For eons she wandered, visiting many kingdoms and gaining many friends. She battled battles that many would have died from, protecting those she holds dear. Slowly, her family began to grow. Person by person, home by home, kingdom by kingdom. Her heart spreading the biggest of wings. But then it happened. The one she loved most was attacked, almost dying because of someone's idiocy. And so she fought. She fought for her dying family, soon gaining the powers of the internal flame buried deep inside her. Screeching her painful cry, she fought in her new form with all her might. But it wasn't enough as it's hand sprouted from her body. Tears fell from the eyes of her lover, his eyes wide as he watched her body wither in pain. Hey dark eye were gentle a she watched his physical pain disappear, his wounds sealed shut as he snatched her closer one more time. Softly she apologized, saying words she wanted so badly to say before sealing their goodbye with a kiss.

The kingdom of Verlockend has a secret. Within its emerald green hills and spanning lakes lies a deadly curse. Behind its citizens' extravagant masks exists a condition beyond compare: hideous boils that cover every face. For as long as Fawn has known, this is the way life has been under the rule of King Malin; everyone within its walls is mandated to wear a mask at all times, so as not to reveal the cause of Verlockend's mysterious solitude to its enemies. The curse that covered the miles of fruitful land long ago is not only hard to look at, but deadly as citizens continue to age. The elderly members of the community are starting to disappear more and more often, sent far away from civilization due to the violent characteristics of the curse. Their heartbroken families never see them again. Despite the horrors of this, Fawn lives a comfortable life as a baker's daughter. Having lived this sad tale all her life, she has grown used to spending her days hidden behind cloth. But even within the mundane kitchen life, a secret as big as her kingdom's always looms in the back of her mind: she is not cursed. She was born an anomaly, the one Verlockan citizen without those grotesque features the curse brings; her skin is smooth and white as milk, keeping her immune from the curse's claws. When the home she thought she knew is suddenly turned upside down, Fawn realizes that she cannot live surrounded by secrets any longer. Her chance comes upon meeting a cunning stranger named Jacinth, whose bold spirit leads them both into an unexplored land to discover the truth behind all the lies. Along with wise Kendry, confident Wrendolyn, and some companions along the way, Fawn finds herself as she discovers the story behind her kingdom's fate - and if there is a way to break the curse once and for all.
Masks of Fear and Shadow by EivorTaika
35 parts Ongoing Mature
"Between the Jaws of Fate, a spark shall ignite, born of shadow and flame, a breath against the void. Its cry will shatter the silence, a sound the gods will fear, and its steps will weave the end of all that was known. When the rivers run black and the skies open their veins, chains unseen will crumble, and what sleeps shall wake. In its veins, the threads of creation unravel, and in its shadow, the world will bow or break. Beware the herald of dusk and dawn, for its will is neither mercy nor malice, but the breaking of the wheel, and the scream of what lies beyond." Eowyn Aeloria, heir to the gods' throne in Ebonmere, has spent her life under her mother, Queen Vespera's, tyrannical rule and harsh consequences. When she has a run in with Cylas, a brooding blacksmith hiding from the shadows of his own bloodline, they discover a connection that defies the boundaries between their warring worlds- and Queen Vespera forbidding their entanglement, along with a life-changing revelation, sparks a dangerous rebellion neither of them can resist. Cylas, once a ruthless general for the Sylvaneth kingdom of Noctyra, seeks refuge from a violent past-and from his mother, Queen Elira, who has made it her life's work to eradicate Eowyn's kind from existence through any means necessary. But meeting Eowyn awakens both his heart and a power that he can no longer keep hidden. As Eowyn and Cylas battle to keep their bond secret, whispers of an ancient power and prophecy awaken, placing them in the center of a conflict that could either save their world or destroy it. Now, with the future of the people of each of their kingdoms hanging in the balance, Eowyn and Cylas must decide if they should follow the path that is already written, or to feed the Jaws of Fate. ***There may be edits and changes until the entirety of the book is completed; so I apologize in advance for that***

Long ago, the Kingdom of Alagil was cursed by a Dragon for their greed and lust for power, the Royal Family having seized the entirety of Gold Thread she made for the public, keeping it for themselves. The Dragon gave the Royals sixteen years to better themselves and teach their heir to the thone to be an honest, caring individual. If the Princess was coronated with a selfish heart everyone in the castle who had done wrong to the people would die. The top three Witches of the court decided on a plan to save the Princess and everyone else included in the curse, taking the spindle it is bound to and altering the curse so that, if it struck, they would all fall into an eternal slumber. Fifteen years later, Briar Rose is shocked to learn that the biggest threat to her daily life isn't Dragons swooping down from the sky to eat her or dying from boredom out in the middle of the woods. It's a curse that can lead to her whole countries decimation.

With one year to get the most practical experience possible in Curse Breaking, Briar Rose heads out with the map her Godmothers gave her, tracking down places of extreme curses while they head back to Skyfort, the castle where the cursed spindle resides, to protect it from those who would inadvertently worsen the curse they struggled to amend. Will she succeed at breaking the Curse and make her life her own or is the magic of Dragons to much for a Mortal to hope to overcome?

The Shattered Crown

When a powerful artifact is stolen, Elara, a young mage, must embark on a treacherous journey to retrieve it before the realm falls into chaos, all while unraveling dark secrets about her own lineage. The realm of Azalea is held together by a mystical artifact known as the Crown of Aether, a relic that grants its wearer the power to maintain balance between the forces of light and shadow. For centuries, the crown has ensured peace across the land. But when the crown is mysteriously shattered and its pieces scattered across the realm, the delicate balance falters, unleashing untold havoc upon Azalea. Elara, a gifted but untested mage, discovers that she is the key to restoring the crown. But as she sets out on her quest, she faces not only powerful enemies vying for the crown's pieces, but also the revelation that her family is deeply entangled in the crown's ancient magic. With each step, Elara must decide whom she can trust and what she's willing to sacrifice to prevent the impending war that threatens to consume everything she holds dear. Through eight gripping chapters, Elara encounters mythical creatures, powerful magic, and deceptions that challenge her resolve. But the true test comes when she learns that restoring the crown may not be the salvation the realm seeks, but rather, the key to an even greater evil.
