As the only aeramental in Northridge and the adopted daughter of the town's Eldest, expectations weigh heavy on Lyllithe's shoulders. Everyone assumes she'll follow in her parents' footsteps, becoming a Devoted of the Light, ministering healing to those wounded in battle. But that path is bound by strict guidelines of purity and pacifism.
The heritage which separates her from the other villagers also grants access to Refocusing, the arcane art of manipulating elemental energies. But her rudimentary understanding and late start would make acceptance to the Arcanists' Hall unlikely at best.
Lyllithe quickly finds herself torn between two worlds, opposed to the strictures of both. 
Yet seasons and times pay no heed to one girl's indecision. And events in the last vestiges of the fallen empire threaten to bury everything Lyllithe and her friends know and love under a spreading shadow of bloodshed.All Rights Reserved

Crystallized by chloeisbaefrrr

Ellyssara Alexandra Zillmann has lived her entire life believing her mother was dead. Raised quietly on Earth by her father, Darius Zillmann. Far beyond the human world lies Crystalline, a hidden empire ruled by Empress Seraphina, where every soul is born with mastery over rare crystal elements - fire, water, healing, and more. Yet beneath these gifts lies their shared foundation: the power to command crystal. For most, that power is limited. For the royal bloodline... nearly endless. But what Crystalline does not know is that the Empress once broke the oldest law: she fell in love with a human, and bore a child "Ellyssara". To protect her, Seraphina erased the newborn from history and bound her powers so she could grow safely on Earth. For eighteen years, it worked. Until it didn't. On the night Ellyssara turns eighteen, the ancient binding spell shatters, and she awakens as the prophesied Summoner of the White Crystal. Wielder of a pure, limitless force unseen for millennia. With her awakening, Crystalline feels her presence... and so do its darkest enemies. Now hunted by the evil forces of her mother's world, and caught between a life she knows and a destiny she fears. Ellyssara must uncover her true heritage and learn to wield her impossible power. Otherwise, both Earth and Crystalline fall to ruin. Torn between two worlds... A power without limits... A past hidden in silence...

As she desperately seeks a way to return to the present, she must choose between opposing truths to find out what is good and what is evil. Her life and that of her family depends on it.

SWIM by WriterMolly2021

-RENEE RAPP FANFICTION- -DARK FANTASY- --- She met a monster on the bridge and let it save her. Lyla Evans didn't run away looking for a second chance. She ran to disappear. A broken home, a bruised past, and no one left to care if she made it out alive. Her plan was simple: get far enough away, and end it all quietly. Then she meets Reneé Rapp. World-famous singer. Pop darling. The kind of girl who's supposed to be on magazine covers, not leaning over a cigarette on a freezing New York bridge at 3AM. Reneé offers her a place to crash. No questions. No promises. But Lyla quickly learns that the glittering world Reneé lives in is just a mask-behind it lies guns, drugs, and blood on the floor. Because Reneé isn't just a singer. She's the queenpin of New York's most elusive cartel. Lyla swears she doesn't care. She's never even liked Reneé's music. But every time she tries to walk away, she finds herself pulled deeper-into Reneé's world, into her touch, into a twisted kind of love that looks too much like danger. She told herself she wouldn't fall. She just didn't know how to swim. ---

Aelyndor Book 1: Embers of the Starforged by PaulMayo2

In the jade highlands of Syltheria, where bamboo forests meet the silverwood spires of the Elven capital Tir'Korynth, a fragile balance is breaking. The ancient Aelyndor clans-bound by virtue, tradition, and the gods of the Celestarch-find themselves divided by a single spark: fire born of invention. Rohkaris Veyne, once a priest of the forge god Drynor, has created the first weapon to wound both flesh and faith. His Iron Ember Syndicate seeks to shatter the old order, declaring an Age of Fire to replace the rule of gods with the will of mortals. Caught between these worlds is Lyrieth D'Valion, the exiled alchemist known as the Cindershadow. Branded heretic by her clan and hunted by both zealots and revolutionaries, she walks the shadowed path between divine fate and mortal defiance. With her ember basilisk Ashwing at her side, Lyrieth must uncover the buried truths of Aelyndor's creation-truths that could either rekindle the gods... or burn the heavens themselves. A tale of fire and faith, steel and spirit-Aelyndor: Embers of the Starforged is a saga of rebellion, redemption, and the price of unchained creation.

Weavemarked: Book 4 Of The Veilshard Chronicles by DarkKingMalchi

The world is unraveling-and this time, the loom isn't in control. Mireya never asked to be a symbol. She only wanted the freedom to shape her own path. But after building a sanctuary where lost threads find their place, she's become the spark in a pattern trying desperately to hold its form. With Solin's steady presence, her parents' unshakable bond, and an echo who longs to be more than reflection, Mireya walks toward the final truth: She doesn't just defy the weave. She remakes it. Now the spiral spreads. And the world must decide- Will it repeat the past? Or shape something new?

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.

Aelyndor Book 2: Children of the Dawnfire by PaulMayo2

Fifty years have passed since the War of the Starforge. The gods have gone silent, the forges have cooled, and Aelyndor stands united beneath the Silverwood Tree-a world reborn from ash. But peace is not eternal. When the constellations begin to flicker and vanish from the night sky, the descendants of the heroes who once saved the world are drawn together by fate. Strange auroras bleed across the heavens, whispering the names of those long dead. And in the valley of crimson leaves, a young woman named Ryn D'Valion-ward of the Cindershadow-awakens an ember that has slumbered since the first dawn. As Ryn and the heirs of Aelyndor's clans uncover the truth, they learn that the Dawnfire-the primeval spark that first ignited creation-has begun to stir once more. What was once a gift of life now threatens to consume the stars themselves.
