Leah is a Radiant, a dying race that is able to crystallise Light. 

Plagued for centuries by a parasite able to turn them into mindless monsters known as Lightless, the Radiant's homeland has been long since lost. Leah's seen what the parasite has done to her people's morale, and she's determined to be the one who finds the cure. 

Only the League of Light still challenge the expansion of the Lightless, but new recruits are growing scarcer, their Radiant blood thinner as the League struggle to maintain numbers.

When Leah arrives with her Radiant features and the full ability to manipulate Light, not all of them see her as a blessing. There's a divide between the pure Radiants and the humans who can claim their blood, and with shadows in the League, Leah's going to have to wade through it all if she wants to find her cure.

Who will Arise? by MashBap

Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.

Chronicles of Alora: Stargazer by ElysiaNoir123

Beneath a sky stitched with constellations and secrets, three girls were born on the same winter night-a princess cloaked in shadow, a conqueror wrapped in flame, and a light-bearer destined to scatter the darkness. Each carries a thread of an ancient prophecy, their fates bound to the future of the kingdom and the balance of a world teetering on the edge of ruin. Eve knows nothing of this prophecy. Growing up in the quiet mountain village of Starling Hollow, her life has been shaped by whispered tales of the Fae, restless dreams, and a gnawing sense of not quite belonging. But when glowing lights begin to call her into the ancient Aurorian Forest, Eve discovers the truth: she is not who she thinks she is. Stolen as a child and stripped of her memories, Eve is Alora-the light-bearer of prophecy. And the Fae, long thought to be extinct, are waiting for her return. Guided by visions and whispers of the past, Eve must navigate a fractured kingdom, unravel the mystery of her stolen identity, and reclaim the power hidden within. But not all lights shine for good, and not all who seek her mean her well. The path to the Vale of the Fairies is treacherous, and the choices she makes will determine not only her fate, but the fate of the entire kingdom. In a world where stars hold secrets, forests whisper names, and magic is both a gift and a curse, Eve must decide: will she follow the light, or be consumed by the shadows?

Threads of the Midnight Forge by Fuerton

In the shattered world of Cynosura, where the threads of reality unravel and twist into chaos, the remnants of civilization cling to fragile zones of stability. The legendary Midnight Forge-once a beacon of unity and balance-has been destroyed, its collapse birthing a fractured land teeming with dangerous anomalies, broken alliances, and whispers of rebellion. Caelum Veyra, a haunted wanderer with no memory of his role in the Forge's fall, struggles to piece together fragments of his past while navigating a world that teeters on the edge of collapse. Drawn to his name is a destiny he neither understands nor desires, and the ghostly threads of a forgotten connection to the enigmatic Lyric Corren pull him toward an uncertain fate. As he journeys through Cynosura's volatile landscapes, Caelum discovers he is not only pursued by the shadow of his past but by powerful factions vying to control the fractured Tension. Among these forces is Sable Velar, the magnetic leader of the Threadbound Choir, whose vision of restoring the Forge threatens to erase the beauty of chaos and individuality. Her unrelenting mission brings her into conflict with Auren Thalor, a disciplined monk who believes balance lies in coexistence, not control. Caught in the crossfire, Caelum must decide whether to embrace the truth of his connection to the Forge or let the world's fragile threads unravel entirely. With its intricate tapestry of magic, philosophy, and human frailty, Threads of the Midnight Forge weaves a tale of redemption, identity, and the high cost of power. As alliances form and fracture, and the Tension continues to break, the choices of a few will shape the destiny of all. Will the shattered threads of Cynosura find harmony, or will the weave of reality come undone forever?

Bittersweet Umbra by jnasheb

These are strange and perilous times. The Orange Moon looms over the earth, all hidden things emboldened by its numinous glow. Zee, a woman hardened by the harsh realities of such a world, and her daughter, Tully, bright-eyed and yet to lose hope, make their way across the treacherous land, searching for a place to rest - no more running, no more hiding. Their journey brings them to Hope Town, a place of colourful buildings and cobblestone streets. Encountering a kind sheriff who offers them a place to rest, Zee and Tully begin to wonder if this is all too good to be true. For as the wind blows through the empty streets, questions begin to rise of why so few people populate the large town. Where is everyone? What happened to this place? The wind continues to blow, the eerily quiet streets screaming their warning: Run.

Echoes of Balance and Flame by er782568

Amara Valestra's life is anything but simple. Trapped in the heart of Malrathis, her powers suppressed by dark, painful restraints, she finds herself caught between two worlds-one she was born into and one she cannot escape. The fire that once burned so brightly within her now smolders, contained by chains of power she can barely comprehend. When a haunting dream reveals the deep, ancient forces that control her fate-forces of fire, healing, and a delicate balance between light and shadow - Amara is left with more questions than answers.. The marks she woke up with, etched into her skin, pulse with power, as though calling to something deeper inside her. The dream is a warning, a glimpse into the dangerous path she must walk to prevent the breaking of the world. With Kaelith's obsession growing, Amara must fight against more than just her captor's manipulations. Her own inner turmoil threatens to consume her, and the choice between love, freedom, and power becomes an impossible one. As her fire begins to burn once more, so too does the knowledge of the devastating consequences it could unleash-both for her and for the fragile balance of the realms. But her past isn't easy to leave behind. Calder, the one she chose to save over herself, lingers in her mind. Though she can't shake the memories of him-his touch, his kindness, the bond they share-he is far from her reach. As her inner fire begins to ignite again, their reunion may be the catalyst for something far greater than either of them could anticipate. As the balance between light and dark shifts, Amara must make a choice that will affect not only her fate but the fate of all realms. The flames inside her burn brighter than ever-but the question is, will they destroy everything, or will they save the world from the shadows that threaten to consume it?
