Four children-Alexei, Yulian, Etta and Ziba-live in the remote, craggy village of Aronos.  An ancient collection of people who have been living in the large, impassable mountain range that rifts the continent in two, duly referred to as the Rift Mountains. They are far removed from the drama of the Eastern and Western Empires of the continent, in fact, they do not know of the two sovereigns. 

The children need not worry themselves with hypothetical places that may or may not exist. No, instead they are thrilled about finally becoming adults within their community. The preparations are being made and everything is set to go well. The ceremony goes well and they enter the forest for their pilgrimage of sorts. However, something terrible is in store for them as they travel through the forest.

Nature has a funny tendency to "rain on people's parades" and that is exactly what happens to the quartet of new adults. What happens next is something quite exotic and foreign to the group. An unfamiliar queen poses an outrageous claim and the four are tossed into a royal, structured life where everything is much different. The queen and these new changes present troubles for them.

What will the children do once they are caught in the Temptress' Web?

The Final Push by AlphaPrism

What makes your life worth living? For nineteen year old Seraphina Blackford, it's her younger brother, Caiden. Her whole world revolves around him, what is left of the world that is. It's been three thousand years since the last technology was around and the Earth is falling apart. After The Great Break governments fell and chaos took over. After years of death and destruction, all that's left behind are small groups of people that band together in clans. Seraphina or Sera as she prefers to be called, is doing her best to protect her little brother in this dangerous world but all Caiden wants to do though is go on adventures and search for the mystical Paradise. After a deadly attack on her home she is forced to go out in search of this fabled safe-haven to fulfill her brothers greatest wish: to find Paradise. During this quest she must enlist the help of Breccan Dolemo, an overconfident jerk who somehow got mixed up in a clan that kills for sport. Not only has he murdered but Breccan has made himself a sworn enemy of Sera's. Can they put aside their differences in order to find Paradise? Or will Caiden's life goal go on unfulfilled? The beautiful cover was designed by Mulan-fa.

A Dance with Darkness and Light: Re-Origination by OGCarrel

Wordcount: 88.33K A bully in school, a parasite as a grown-up. The shadow of a man. A shunned member of society. Such are the descriptions given if one asked about a certain young man, but he couldn't care less. All that mattered to him was his mission, vengeance. Nothing could stop him in his tracks until one day his parents died. Though even that lasted only until the emptiness overcame him once again. At the beginning of his mission, there were five torches lighting his path, now, even the last one ceased at the flicker of its final light. After that, in an effort to join her, he also extinguished his light. Yet fate is a fickle mistress, and you should be careful what you wish for...because the Lord of the underworld seemed determined to send him into a different world. With his protest ignored he was swiftly dropped into the body of a recently deceased prince. Plunged into the seat of a kingdom, overflowing with intrigue and schemes. In a world, as our "prince" will soon learn, vastly different from Earth. Now known as the fourth prince of Ralun, Bazuul Ylvazad, he has to adjust and learn quickly if he wishes to survive. Something he himself isn't quite sure of. The question though is, did he really have another option? Obviously death didn't work. ~~~ Ytolan map: https://imgur.com/zwmHOb8 Seven Kingdoms map: https://imgur.com/a/CIunFJd www.instagram.com/og_carrel www.patreon.com/og_carrel

The Fallen Throne by demigod-princess

Alaina wishes to be more than a mere icon for her kingdom, believing a princess should be much more than a fragile lady in a dress. The king wants no more than for her to marry in order to succeed the throne, but she has other things in mind -- such as her thirst for freedom and adventure. But when one of the neighbouring kingdoms demands that it's time for a change in the land of Asteria, her entire kingdom is shaken. To worsen the situation, the king is somehow caving in to the demands irrationally. Stubbornly refusing to resign herself to the kingdom's seemingly inevitable fate, she is forced to leave her home in search of the root of the problems. Along with people of diverse backgrounds she comes to trust and a hotheaded boy with pyrokinesis named Kai, Alaina joins an uprising rebellion against the forming empire. cover design by the lovely and talented Tris_fire (Prev.

Steady Ground | ✔ by ToriHope-

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.

When they get back to Kitty's home, the unexpected happens, and Mizu is thrust into an entirely different situation than what he thought. Now he doesn't know what to do as his life is on the line. When he finally makes a decision, he later realizes the mistakes that he now has to pay for.

On Whispered Threads by roarcus

Randomly receiving a piece of parchment with a road-map and an "X" to mark the spot, Landry has travelled for so long that even his boots gave up. His journey brought him to Pollard's Grove, a generally unknown and quiet lumber village on the outskirts of the Wyrmwood, a densely packed forest with gargantuan trees at the centre of Lake Laga. There, he meets a friend he hasn't seen in years, a black-haired elf by the name of Maliah who is uncharacteristically concerned as to why she summoned him. With magical threads of light, how far could the story lead beyond the Grove? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The story takes place within my world, called Aurum. The known world is split into two continents, the 'Twin Continents.' The West Continent is home to Cleonth, Zalafold, The Northern Kingdoms and the remnants of Larune. The East Continent is made up of Elduira, Zanokar, Adraskia, The Huinan Empire and more. (Names may change.) The sea that separates the two is known as the Meridean Sea, and none can leave the Twins and return due to the surrounding boundless oceans, known as the Vast Blue. Many thanks to my friends Imp, Zero and Morgz for their invaluable feedback :)

A whole new world (ToG/ACOTAR crossover) by evie_y

A year after Aelin awakes to find her home covered in kingsflame, she and the co have finally met up again all together in Terrasen. However, when a pulse of power radiates through her country and knocks an unsuspecting Dorian and herself out, they decided to investigate the source, and postpone the greetings. What they find out might just change their world (and perhaps another one as well) forever. This is obviously a ToG/ACOTAR crossover haha, but WARNING; just a spoiler alert, if you haven't read KoA or ACOFAS you should probably go finish those! My book takes place after them, and I honestly can't compare to the real genius behind these worlds (shout out sjmaas), so go and (sob, laugh, smile) read those two before (hopefully!) reading this. (also huuuge credit to all the amazing artists who created the pictures both on the cover of this book and in each chapter. their work is so incredible-i wish i could make art like that)

Ghost Perfume | ✔ by natalisghosts

In a world where the dead linger, one girl holds the key to helping them cross over. But Rose's quiet life is shattered when four mysterious brothers arrive with a dark secret. As tensions rise and some ghosts prove more dangerous than others, the brothers only want to keep her safe. Can she trust them, or will the secrets between them be her undoing? And will she ever be able to break through their masks? **COMPLETE** **SEQUEL IS ALSO COMPLETE** My death notebook was out. I surreptitiously slid it into my backpack. He offered me the cards. "Pick a game, Rose?" "Um." They looked at me. "How about cheat?" "Never heard of it," Alexander said, collapsing to sit on the floor with his back to my bed. Gabriel sat cross-legged. "Show us," he said. I knelt to complete the circle, taking out the cards and shuffling them. Alexander snorted and snatched the cards out of my hands to shuffle them himself. "I got it, drunk girl." "I am not," I said, tugging on the cards. My fingers tangled with his. He let them go. I distributed the cards among us, my hair swinging as I leaned forward to give them their share. I tucked it behind my ears. They watched me quietly. I could hear the party outside my room, a muffled shouting beat, but we were safe in my room.

Lady Laila by Sellyfronce

She was not born a lady, she was made one. She was not born into wealth, she was given it. Laila is a woman of the king, and she fell in love with him, the day she first met him. Whether it was the kindness he'd shown her or the charming face and body he has, the attraction was there from the start. But King Stephan is not one to reciprocate such feelings, as Laila is one of the ten women he has in his castle. If only there was a way they could grow closer...secrets, lies, pain, war...all of which tears people apart, could actually be what brings them together. *** Turning to face him, she sees his lips curling into a smile, making her heart warm and fuzzy. He slowly puts his arm around her, giving her time to refuse. When she doesn't, he pulls her against his chest. Leaning into her he whispers, "You called me by my name, back in the hallway." "I...I apologize-" "Don't...I like it." Laila feels her core clench upon hearing his words. He tilts her chin laying a kiss on her neck. Biting back her moan, she closes her eyes, feeling him suck on her skin. "Mmh!" Stephan feels her arousal placing his lips on hers, his hand traveling down pushing up her dress as he caresses her skin.* Cover by @Sachi_Stark ! ♥
