The Zero Hour | #Wattys2016 by xtoverus

The world as we know it is controlled by Nobles - powerful wizards that have power over everything. It is the age of ice; a time of ages past, lost in our historical records and unbeknownst to the world today. The commoners who don't wield magic live under their thrall as slaves, doing everything humanly possible to avoid earning their wrath. A single misstep could spell torture or death. One morning, a commoner accidentally takes matters into his own hands by standing up against a prominent Noble's son. The ensuing altercation enrages the boy's father Malevolent Drake, who delivers an ultimatum: A hundred commoners are to die in three days to restore his house's honor, or the elimination of the entire commoner camp. Faced with that reality, the leader of the camp hatches a plot to bring in outside help to combat the Noble army. With time running short, nobody really knows if the plan will even work - given the fact that the Nobles themselves have a few tricks up their sleeves as well. Tricks that could spell doom for everyone involved... * Highest ranked #63 in Adventure (Apr'16) & #708 in Fantasy (May'16). Updates every Tuesday & Friday :)

Echo of Solace by TheresaMMISB

In a dystopian future where Earth's resources have been depleted, the world's last city is protected by a magical barrier known as Solace, which also prevents people from aging. Life inside the city is perfect, but the barrier is deteriorating, and soon everything outside it will seep in. The inhabitants live in blissful ignorance of the outside world, but one young woman, Elyse, begins hearing whispers-echoes of memories from a world long lost. She starts uncovering secrets of the city's past, including a hidden love story between two scientists who created the barrier, and a plan to save the world that was abandoned years ago. As Elyse digs deeper, she uncovers more than she ever bargained for. The echoes she hears aren't just memories-they're the voices of people who lived before the barrier was erected. Some of them want to help her, while others want to stop her from discovering the truth.

But the one thing Rhenyan could never prepare himself for is falling in love. Xena lives in a small town with her mother and 3 younger siblings.

After she goes a step too far, Xena's quiet life is turned upside down as she becomes a rogue, wanted Soul mage. Rhenyan and Auroya receive an interesting job offer that eternally-curious Auroya can't refuse.

But some revelations along the way promise a new normal, and an even more uncertain future for all involved.

Partisan - Book II by azimodo

*COMPLETE* "People don't believe in us anymore. They don't believe that in the end we will do what is right. We can't let them down. We can't let Ben win." Decisions made on top of the lonely, wind-swept cliff of Lethinor reverberate around the five kingdoms as war begins in earnest. This is a sequel to Paragon, it's my very, very, very strong recommendation you read it first, otherwise you will be totally lost. I am not joking. If your interest is piqued, here's a quick blurb for Paragon: _____________________ There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. _____________________ You can read Paragon here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/95374969-paragon Highest ranking: #86 in Fantasy 2/10/2018 WIP Cover art and written work by Azi. Please note: violence, sexual themes, and coarse language will appear in Partisan.
