The Misfits and the Devourer by CURSEDCAJUN

In a world teetering on the edge of ruin, a Tiefling who has escaped the shadows of the Underdark seeks redemption-and the chance to prove himself worthy of the title "hero." But in a land where prejudice runs deep and darkness stirs, the path to heroism is far from simple. Joined by a band of unlikely companions-a hulking Minotaur with more strength than sense, a hapless human wizard, a druid plagued by a phobia of animals, and a Goliath bard who prefers ballads to brawls-he is thrust into a perilous quest. Their mission? Recover an ancient staff forged by the gods before a sinister secret society can unleash a primordial force known only as the Devourer, a being older than existence itself. Their journey will take them through treacherous ruins, oppressive towns under imperial control, and cosmic battlegrounds where reality bends. Along the way, they'll face fierce battles, puzzling challenges, and eccentric foes, from flamboyant pirate captains to pompous noble adventurers. As the stakes rise and bonds are forged, this ragtag group of misfits may be the world's last hope-if they can survive long enough to become the heroes they were never meant to be.

A Pet for the Dragons by annablazer

❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book.

You Don't Want the Crown by kullman

Betrayal. Revenge. Murder. True Love. Knights. Princesses. Druids. Pirates. Madness. Gays. Magic. Intrigue. What more could you want from this darkly funny take on faerie tales? The old king is murdered. The crown prince is missing. Who in this diverse cast of characters is to blame? Is it the king's reluctant but dutiful wife? Is it the spiteful old queen? Is it the king's illegitimate son? What about the king's suspiciously loyal man-at-arms? Read and find out. Plenty of swashbuckling, magic, sarcasm, and plot twists await in the mythical land of Ulster. Trigger/Content warning: Violence, but primarily fantasy violence. Profanity throughout. Some brief crude humor. Some conversations and circumstances may be emotionally upsetting, primarily to do with parental abuse, as well as dysphoria. A character is stated to be suicidal, suicide is discussed. A character describes post-partum depression.

A Sea of Ruin by Ririzzaly

"Dead men tell no tales." A crackerjack pirate hunter Achlys Nezzera sets her sights on the infamous Hades Riyas and the massive bounty on his head. When they clash, Hades is one step away from tossing the spanky lady-hunter overboard. She's a distraction on his desperate quest for immortality, that he needs before the creature to immortality goes to sleep for another 500 years, not to mention she stirs his stone heart to life. But when the dark truth about Achlys' brother-formerly a hunter, now a fellow pirate captain to Hades-comes out, it turns out Achlys needs the same treasure as Hades to break the curse. Forced into an uneasy truth, Achlys must decide if she should stay true to her creed, or join Hades on his dangerous journey to save her brother. Wouldn't it be so much better if she at least was sure her brother was worth saving and if the godawful pirate didn't make her weak at the knees! cover made by @-DeeIsDead- all banners also made by @-DeeIsDead-
