Once Upon a Time: Shadows of Belief (Book 2) by Phillip584

Six months have passed since the Shadow was defeated and Storybrooke was restored. Families are whole again, long-lost heroes have returned, and for the first time in years, hope feels possible. But beneath the surface of happy endings lies a deeper truth: belief has consequences. The magic that resurrected Robin Hood and reunited loved ones also shattered the balance of the realms. Untold stories bleed into reality, twisting familiar faces into dark reflections. And in the silence of the woods, a new Dark One rises Peter Pan, reborn with powers beyond anything Rumplestiltskin ever wielded. As Henry, Regina, Emma, and their family struggle to protect the fragile peace, the next generation Lucy, Robyn, Alice, Clara, Jin, and Leo must face a terrifying truth: every story set free creates ripples, and some tales were never meant to be told. And standing between light and darkness is Eve an alternate version of Regina, born from the balance of the stories themselves. Is she the key to saving the realms... or a reminder that some echoes of the past carry shadows of their own? With allies divided and villains returning in unexpected forms, the heroes will learn that shadows don't simply vanish when the light shines they grow deeper. And this time, the battle is not for a single town, but for the very heart of storytelling itself. Every ending is a beginning. Every belief has a price. And the darkest story is still waiting to be written.

The Hollow Woods and the Clockwork Wolves by Csalido17

In a world where magic ebbs and flows like a living tide, the mysterious Hollow Woods have long been a place of whispered legends and shadowed truths. When Lila, a young woman burdened by the weight of never quite belonging, stumbles into this otherworldly realm, she discovers a land unlike anything she has ever known-where trees whisper secrets, gears hum with forgotten songs, and the moon watches with a knowing gaze. The Hollow Woods are alive, pulsing with ancient magic both beautiful and terrifying. At its heart lies the Whispering Gears, an ancient, broken machine whose purpose is tied to the land's delicate balance. Guarded by creatures of wonder and menace-among them the eerie and majestic Clockwork Wolves-the machine's restoration is the only hope for the Hollow Woods' survival. Lila soon learns she is more than a lost wanderer. She is the child of prophecy, bound to the destiny of the Hollow Woods by threads of magic older than time. As she forges an uneasy alliance with Thorne, a cunning and enigmatic fox spirit, and navigates the complexities of a realm where the lines between ally and enemy blur, Lila discovers her latent power and the truth of her place in this forgotten world. But all is not as it seems. Beneath the forest floor lies a darkness stirring-an ancient, unleashed force that threatens to devour everything. To save the Hollow Woods, Lila must confront her deepest fears, untangle the riddles of the Whispering Gears, and unlock the secrets of the Clockwork Wolves, whose loyalty may come at a perilous price. As the Silver Moon rises and time runs short, Lila must decide: will she embrace her destiny and restore the balance, or let the Hollow Woods-and herself-be consumed by the encroaching shadow? In The Hollow Woods and the Clockwork Wolves, gothic whimsy and ethereal magic collide in a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of a heart bound to the pulse of the land.

The myth of Équili. I will find you in every life - series. by EveElena

She was never meant to awaken... and he was never meant to care. Sarina has spent her life hiding a power that shouldn't exist-one that even the ancient fairies fear. When a violent surge exposes her abilities, she is sent to train under Ariel, a cold, exiled warrior whose own past is buried in betrayal and silence. He is everything she despises: strict, unreadable, merciless in his methods. She is everything he didn't expect: stubborn, fragile... and terrifyingly powerful. Their world is fractured between elemental bloodlines, sacred myths, and a forbidden book lost to history. Kingdoms are watching. Priests are hunting. Something old is waking beneath the surface-and Sarina might be the key to saving or shattering everything. But power comes with pain. Training feels like war. And the most dangerous thing in the temple isn't the magic. It's the way he looks at her when her power flickers. It's the way her heartbeat changes when he steps closer. In a world where loyalty is deadly and emotions are a weakness, two broken souls are forced together by fate... or something far more dangerous. Magic. Tension. Slow-burn obsession. This is not a love story. This is how it begins.

ROSES AND GUNS by avy_delusions

In the world's eyes, she's a prized alliance-a porcelain heir from the infamous Sicilian Arsenic bloodline, draped in silk and silence. But Aurah Lunas Arsenic has been broken long before her wedding veil was placed. Whipped by the very man who raised her, ignored by a brother who once swore to protect her, and now-offered like a sacrificial pawn to the Roman Valezions. To Caezar Valezion, she is nothing but a walking threat. To his twin brothers and their adopted sister Sienna, she's a shadow, unwelcome and distrusted. To the world-they are a power couple. To themselves-strangers behind chained hearts. Aurah stopped believing in love long ago. And the moment she stepped into the Valezion mansion, she knew one thing: this pain would follow her anywhere. Her life, her scars, her silence-they were never hers to keep. But her soul? That was slipping. What happens when a girl too tired to fight keeps trying to fall... And the boy trained to watch her break starts catching her every time? Can Caezar save the girl he swore to never love... before she stops saving herself? --- you can choose this story blind eyed cuz I've written it much better than the last one and the plot here is amazing and mine .🤌🏻🤍💫

Left For Dead [malec fanfiction] [complete] by Kersten_Noelle

"Are you coming with me or not?" "To where? Where are we going to go, Magnus? We're in the middle of the goddamn zombie apocalypse. Everyone we know is dead. Dead or Turned." Magnus fixed his gun over his shoulder and smiled broadly. "We can go wherever we like, Alexander. There's no rules anymore. We're all just skin and bones." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The year is 2025. Five years ago, a deadly disease was released worldwide that reanimates the dead and turns them into flesh eating corpses. Once bitten, you turn into one them. First comes the fever. Then comes death. Then the reanimation. The news will tell you to stay inside. Don't listen. They will tell you to go to an evacuation center. Don't go. They will tell to stay in large groups to ensure safety. That's not always the case. No place is safe, only safer. Either you survive or you die. Or else you're left for dead. Your choice. All characters besides my own © of Cassandra Clare. They deserved so much better.

The fourteenth shift by alexwhit134

Every year on February 8th, every fourteen-year-old is taken. No one knows where they go until it's their time. The place is hidden, the training brutal, the purpose clear: prepare them for the wars of a world kept in shadow. It's not punishment. It's not exactly a rescue either. It's something in between - a shift from innocence into something far more dangerous. When Jaquetta Virellith is taken, she stands out from the start. With violet hair and powers born from nightmare, she sees things no one else can - visions of death, destruction, and suffering that leave her body frozen and her soul shaken. Her fears are as unique and frightening as her gift: a terror of losing control, of tight spaces, of food, of sickness. She keeps them hidden behind a stillness that unsettles even the instructors. By her side is Liri Thalen, fierce, funny, and full of fire, whose bright pink braids and rapid-flash movement power make her impossible to miss - or ignore. But even Liri has fears she won't admit aloud: the dark, being left behind, and not being enough when it matters. Kael Drennor, with dusk-blue hair and shields made of light, is built to protect - and yet he's crumbling inside. Haunted by a fear of deep water and the secrets he keeps buried, he doesn't expect to feel drawn to Jaquetta. But something in her silence echoes his own. And Rowen Stride, silver-haired and sharp-tongued, has powers rooted in sound and humor hiding something quieter - a fear of failure, of being forgotten, of being truly known. Liri gets under his skin in ways no one else can. Together, they will be tested. Their fears will be used against them. And some of them won't come out the same. But for him... he couldn't resist her beautiful sapphire blue eyes.

WolfKnight | Alternative (english translation) by JagodaWi

The book three of the |WolfKnight| trilogy Have you ever wondered how the history of your world would have unfolded if you had never appeared? If your beloved father had never decided to create you? No?! Well... I tried not to think about it either, until Sarkan suddenly decided to ask me that question. Besides, he did it at the worst possible moment. My entire future was hanging by a single, thin thread, for I was one step away from resolving my conflict with the Highest God, and Shadow's controllery sentence had just ended. Recurring nightmares plagued me with fears that my husband would decide to turn his back on his current family, and with the persistent fear of defeat against a divine enemy who grew more powerful day by day. And now this particular question... I received the answer rather quickly, but it didn't satisfy me at all. Why? Because I was forced to experience an alternative version of events firsthand, which, along with my royal pride, suffered a serious blow.
