A high fantasy novel.

Hundreds of years ago, a sickness rose and overshadowed the peaceful world of Ayrith, a realm that was once whole and beautiful. Finally, after years of war and struggle, the darkness was conquered. Since that era Ayrith suffered a wound. A deep, festering scar of ocean that separates the land, in a time that is now known as The Great Divide. Each have kept to their own kind and lived in silence. 
Until now.
A new war is coming, biting at the mad heels of a plague that has the power to control and twist minds and shatter spirits. The great divide will have to be forged into a strong, unbreakable army of hope and unwavering strength if either side has any chance of surviving the sickness that threatens to submerge their beloved Ayrith into darkness.

A Country Life by tristam_james

Three hundred years after the fall, the known world is beginning to regain a semblance of order, with the sword the ultimate power once more. But not everything of old was lost, and there are some that will exert deadly effort to obtain what was left behind. Orphaned, plague-marked and mistrusted by the community he lives in, a boy must come to terms with the fact that he is different from everyone else, but is soon the focus of unwelcome and deadly attention. Separated from her father, a young girl has to learn to survive in a foreign land haunted by tribes of ghosts and roving bands of piratical thralls to a sadistic King. A watcher keeps lonely vigil from within a fortress that has been under siege for hundreds of years, while a soldier dies for the twenty-third time, and dies again while wondering if he is going mad. First started in 2015, this story is at 50k+ words, but was removed when a plotting hiccup was encountered. I now intend to split it into three parts, and this is the complete Part 1. Part 2 will begin once I've finished editing another work... Please vote and comment, as your input will help shape the story. Enjoy!

The After Effects by NotTheMainCharacter

After it all happened, the Plague created what feels like a whole new world. Survivors created new lives for themselves and carried on with their lives. Me? I didn't get the chance to create a new life. Thanks to my absolutely wonderful father figure, I was forced to become an entirely different person. Thankfully I was able to escape his peachy influence and take some control of my new life. What I don't know is the Plague brought on after effects. Everything changed eleven years ago and only a few knew what actually happened after billions of people died. That all changes one-day though and I found my life completely flipped upside down. Cheers to The After Effects.

After nearly incinerating her parents at the age of six, guilt and doubt plague her at every turn. While the village's gifted healer is away, a mysterious disease sweeps through Foresthome, and people start dying. When her parents get infected and the resident herbalist has no solutions, she takes it upon herself to track the clues and locate the source of this unnatural plague. Joined by her brother and a handsome Iceling, they must unravel the mystery and face an unexpected enemy in the shadows. If they fail, the plague will engulf the world she knows, plunging it into dark times. Maybe a little fire is exactly what they need. --- Big thanks to @vexnir for illustrating this awesome cover.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

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.

Sancha: A Spirit Animals Story by StarTiger73

Sancha is a princess of Stetriol, daughter of King Irwin, niece of Gar, younger sister of Drina, and twin sister of Shane. Her life has long been dominated by the reality of the Bonding Sickness. Thus, when a mysterious stranger arrives claiming to have a cure, Sancha puts her fears aside out of hope to save the loved ones she still has. For her actions, she is rewarded only by betrayal, and in the wake of her father's death, Sancha is forced into exile by the very stranger she helped assist: Zerif. Beyond the boarders of her homeland, Sancha is ultimately found, and given the nectar from which she summons a spirit animal. Soon, she becomes a ward of the Greencloaks, cloaked in gray and troubled by the past, the present, and the future. But as Sancha is awakened to the complexities and secrets of her own family history and her spirit animal bond, and finds it in herself to trust and respect those Greencloaks surrounding her, it is clear that if Sancha wants to try to save her homeland, she must side with its sworn enemies. And perhaps, in doing so, Sancha might just save not only Stetriol, but all of Erdas. Note: I don't own Spirit Animals or any of its characters. I only own Sancha, Spesamari, and any other OCs of mine.

The Call of Crows by AlexWHill

Bjorn Stormtamer's world has been turned upside down in more ways than one. His shipmates have left him for dead on an island for quarantining victims of a disease that he now has. His partner in battle despises him, his family thinks he's dead and everyone else thinks it was good riddance. Moreover, the world is under attack by a virulent plague that kills with light and an empire from the east whose intentions are unknown but whose methods are merciless and bloodthirsty. Little does he know that the world itself is nearly on the brink of cosmic collapse. But when a bold, charismatic woman from another nation seeks him out, Bjorn discovers that the plague he has was not a plague at all, but a trial. A trial to determine who is worthy to wield the power of gods in order to give humanity a fighting chance against the winds of fate. ALSO, the whole plague thing was written about before the COVID pandemic. The plague is fake and actually magic in the story, but that has NOTHING to do with real world events. I am under NO CIRCUMSTANCE trying to make ANY kind of political statement. Please just enjoy the story and stay safe.
