400 students in a ship 30,000 feet in the air. They train to become the saviors of the leftover world and the closing act on the Everwar-each and every one has superhuman abilities.
The city of Mundare and the undergroud Resistance are teetering on a most delicate balance, but a balance is not what the Mundare wants, they want to win the Everwar and take over the Resistance. In the attempt to find victory, they create the Magpie Project-a two year course in which they will fabricate soldiers with extraordinary power and train them to hone it.
However, their power is too dangerous for the Mundare to keep in the confines of their city, they are committed to the Novemspes, a goliath ship flying over the plains on the dangerous Outlands. So, in a series of events the Magpies flock together and take to the skies for very different reasons. Some to learn, some to serve and others to kill.
This is the story of the Magpie Project.

Grimlore - The Shattered Continent
A land torn by gods, ruled by monsters... and on the brink of war once more. A hundred years ago, two demi-gods clashed in a battle so fierce it shattered the continent. Both perished, leaving behind their creations - heroes, horrors, and rulers who carved Grimlore into five warring regions. Now, in the Age of Ruin, queens, kings, beasts, and warlords fight for survival and dominion. From the radiant halls of Veyra to the shadowed citadel of Neyros, alliances crumble, betrayals fester, and ancient artifacts resurface, relics with the power to change the fate of the world. But in Grimlore, one truth remains eternal, power is never given. It is taken.
Eros
Eros, a world forsaken by its gods, left to be governed by kings and Magi, gifted with control over various elements. *** Some say the gods are dead. That Godswar left no victor standing. That perhaps they never wore flesh at all, and old tales are mere tales. Others say they have left this land to their creations, or merely left their bodies, and are now the living spirit of their own element, gifting and empowering their chosens. There's, however, a whisper of madness, or perhaps a jest, that the gods are alive, never ceasing to weave fate to their whims. That they will be seen once again, in time to finish Godswar. Whether it is the gods' will, or not, as the ambitions of kings and outlaws tangle with ploys of betrayal, personal vendettas, fury and passion, a war is sure to come.

The Unveiling - Modern Magic: Book 1
My name is Zane Thomas. This isn't an account of a normal student's last year in college. I'm here to tell you a secret: something that has been kept from the vast majority of the world for a very long time. Magic is real. Magic is the ability of specific people to affect multiple levels of reality. We call ourselves Magi. I'm worried that recent patterns are leading to an event that will change our world, and the Magi forever. That's why I'm writing this now. Because maybe later I won't have the chance. "The Unveiling" is the first book in the Modern Magic Trilogy.Complete
Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
Fall From Divinity
Sixty thousand years ago, the Gods waged war upon humanity-and won. From the corpses of the fallen Titans, five empires rose, carved from divine ruin: the Empire of the Rising Sun, the Dragon Empire, the Roman Dominion, Afri Terra, and the cursed land of Erevalon. Humanity was left shattered, bound by divine fear. Yet from their ashes, a new power emerged-Aura Cultivation, the art of defying heaven itself. Now, centuries later, peace is only an illusion. When a young hero-in-training, Jin, wakes to another day of exhausting drills and impossible destiny, he never expects that his next mission will lead him into the Akamizu Woods-the very ground where gods once fell. A mission that begins as a simple hunt... will soon unravel secrets that were buried since the fall of divinity itself. Because some legends were never meant to die. And some heroes... were never meant to rise. Will the gods rise again? Will the wielder of the Seed of Destiny break the chains of fate-or be consumed by it? When divinity falls... who will rise from the ashes?
