The Flickering Flames is a society of fire magic dwellers in the land of Sheam. They have been there as long as anyone can remember. Legend has it that long ago there were water magic dwellers in Sheam as well but they had all been wiped out when the newly appointed leader of the fire mages deemed them unfit to remain. Sarzan believed that the fire mages were superior to all other people and ruled the land with an iron fist. He appointed himself as ruler of Sheam and has been for hundreds of years. 

No one quite knows how he has managed to stay alive for so long. Some say he is just that powerful and his magic keeps him young. Others say he makes a special potion from the blood of the Zyn creatures that roam the forest of Menth. No one dares to cross him and those that have were executed publicly. 

The people live in fear with no way of gaining freedom from Sarzan's tyrannical ways. It seemed as though there was no hope. A teenage girl could be the savior that Sheam needs. Fasia was gathering some water from the river when she got frustrated and accidentally used water magic. Hope could be restored but is Fasia's water magic strong enough to quench the fire inside of Sheam?

Fasia must act quickly before Sarzan discovers her.

A Song of Faithless Shadows by yourlocalsag
93 parts Complete Mature
Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

Once upon a time, Xadia was a unified land, filled with wonder and magic. At the dawn of time, there were six primary sources of magic, the sun, moon, stars, earth, sky and ocean. But a thousand years ago, a magician from a human tribe discovered a new power, the seventh source, black magic. It uses the essence of all magical creatures to awaken the forces of evil. Terrified by this sight, dragons and elves decided to put an end to the madness. Human mages, however, did not want to give up, and stood up to fight against the elves and dragons. The human mages using unimaginable black magic began to win. But then on the side of the elves and dragons stood the Flenimu, born from the union of human and elf. With their help, they managed to drive the humans westward. Then the continent was divided into two parts, Xadia or the eastern magical land and the western kingdoms of humans. For centuries the border was guarded by the dragon king himself. the people called him Thunder, because his voice made the earth and sky tremble. But before the day of the last coming of winter, people exterminated Grom, and then without a shadow of mercy destroyed his only egg, his successor, the dragon prince. The world then stood on the brink of an all-out war. English is not my language so I apologize for any mistakes :) I own the copyright only to what I have come up with myself. I am writing this after the premiere of season 3 but before the premiere of season 4.
