Tutelar Idris Menhyr is a brutal and enigmatic man, waging a campaign to eliminate the other warlords of Tirgodh.  Tradition demands he stoke the fires of war, but he is driven by deeper motivations.

Ahn, trained as a chronicler from birth in Ashiir, and assigned by divine decree, has the delightful task of recording every last word the man mutters, every step he takes.

The Council of Kings sits apart from the blood shed in their name,  ever vigilant of their kingdoms as they teeter between stability and stagnation. When a piece becomes too successful, too aggressive,  sacred rites are invoked to manipulate the arena back into order.

When Idris receives demands from the Council of Kings, he foists the task upon his chronicler and puts the tedious matter to the back of his mind. Ahn forges ahead, lost in a duty she has little knowledge of, and Tutelar Menhyr discovers that even a burr, if left to fester, can prove toxic.All Rights Reserved

Coven Cozenage by Vyaska

Part III of the Poisonous Fangs series; I highly recommend reading the first two books before this one. Three years have passed since King Hadrian had ended his war with the Necromancers, taken full reign as the Vampire King that united the three major clans after leading the creature races to their new home en masse through the exodus that took them there, and had later exiled Albus and the Order of the Phoenix from his lands while maintaining a tenuous peace with the Ministry of Magic; even across worlds. All seemed well for the Vampire King and his lands; but a Vampire King is only as strong as the mate who stands beside them, and the people he surrounds himself with. Ever since completing his first trial for Lord Death; Hadrian had come to feel the flow of mana more acutely...knew when major change was about to erupt. And the intensity of mana that loomed on the horizon; it spoke of another war to come...

It is wrong to try to be a good NAZI in a Dungeon? by Poorya_Rafsanjani

I was a soldier, for the country I was born and raised in. I was a soldier, for my countrymen who bravely fought alongside a powerful regime that was going to take over the world. An empire that would be ours. Well, everything went wrong; soldiers who died for no reason. People who were murdered, whether by the enemy or by their own government. A punishment that no one should have deserved. A leader who abandoned us and betrayed his people. And I was just a soldier. A small soldier who, amidst the flames of these ruins, was going to fall into this dark fate like the rest. But in this new world, I am an adventurer, a person who really helps people. Someone who really likes to use their knowledge to fight monsters that are literally monsters. Yes, I was a soldier, but now I am an adventurer.

Auris of the Thousand Names: A Weaver's Chronicle by NicoAkira

They wouldn't let her save the world. Unable to keep patience with the figureheads and red tape of the city-state governments, Auris turned her attention smaller, to a new settlement, and to a bare handful of its inhabitants caught in one of the worst injustices she's ever known. A personal drama rife with political intrigue, Auris' story explores themes of honor, morality, love, and abuse, and what it means to hold and face each. Content Warning: war, moderate descriptions of violence, PTSD, emotional abuse (regular updates delayed until further notice) Cover art by Grace Zhu, design by NicoAkira

Dusk by despiteous

**MATURE CONTENT & COMPLETED** A smart-mouthed 25 year old girl looks normal, yet is anything but that. She's a highly skilled hunter who trained day and night to live up to her legacy. Her parents were open in revealing her destiny of being born into a long line of vampire hunters. Except she doesn't follow all of the Hunter traditions as she wants to pave her own way. Finally, when she is of age to go on assignments alone, she takes her first big assignment. It has the ability to change every aspect of her life and even makes her question her beliefs: one of which being that love does not exist. Not only does this assignment make her re-evaluate everything she's ever known, the vampires her family has taught her to avoid at all costs somehow manage to become her biggest threat. Their only two purposes are to find the right time to strike and kill the very thing that threatens their way of life: her. All the while battling real-life demons... she struggles with her own.

Eryndor: Crown of Frost and Flame by xmelisakc

Three kingdoms. One crown. A battle of frost, flame, and destiny. Eryndor, the icy kingdom of eternal twilight, guards its secrets beneath glaciers and ethyrium-fueled cities. Princess Arven Thalvyr, heir to the Frostbound Throne, is bound by her kingdom's mystical ties to the ice-and by whispers of a power she barely understands. In the golden deserts of Arridion, Ethan Caladryn, the reserved and enigmatic heir to his own world, navigates the treacherous politics of his family while uncovering a connection to Arven's fate that neither of them can escape. But in Vorlath's volcanic wastelands, Prince Kaldir schemes. Ruthless and cruel, he seeks to claim the icy power of Eryndor-and Arven herself-for his own twisted ambitions. As glaciers crack, ancient forces awaken, and alliances shift, Arven and Ethan must confront their destinies to prevent the world from falling into chaos. The question remains: when frost and flame collide, who will rise-and who will fall?

The city of Tutaishi 4 The kingdom by GethroBataille

The city of Tutaishi is attacked, but this time, it isn't by mindless bloodthirsty beast. Unlike the monkouts, this war is against men, and these men will not be satisfied with just killing the people. The destruction of the whole city and enslavement of its people is what they are after and Gabriel and Joshua and the men that were brave enough to fight against the monkouts will now have to defend the people against the invasion that threatens the livelihood of the people of Tutaishi. Everyone looks for their captain and their genius engineer to come up with a plan to beat the much superior army. Gabriel has seen this type of warfare before in his world, but he knows that Tutaishi does not have the technology and weaponry for such a war. The city's brilliant engineer and tech guru Joshua now has the pressure of the whole city on his back as he tries to come up with a solution, but he faces many challenges. The technology that he had seen in the Marine kingdom could be used to defeat the brutal army but trying to remember and figure out how to create itbin his world will not be as easy as he had hoped. Joshua will find help from an unlikely source, but the price that they ask him for goes against who he is as a man, a friend, and a husband. Lisa finds herself still fighting for Gabriel's love. Even after Maxine is brought to the Marine kingdom by Kenny, Lisa knows that the relationship that Maxine and Gabriel have is far from over. Lisa also searches for a solution, and it could cause her to have to betray a close friend and even risk losing the man she is fighting to make her only hers. Gabriel now has two children on the way by two women that he loves. He wants to do the right thing, but he will find it very difficult to completely rid himself of Maxine. Forced to makena choice, choosing Lisa seemed like the best choice, but it is only easy now that Maxine is no longer in Tutaishi, but what will happen if she finds her way back to him.

Divided (Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses Crossover) by softballchick27

For decades, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius and Rowan Whitethorn have ruled the Kingdom of Doranelle, passing the governance of Terrasen to her cousin, Aedion, and his descendants. Since her defeat of Queen Maeve more than 100 years ago, Aelin has lived in relative peace, until nightmare-like prophecies of an unknown threat begin to plague her dreams. Feyre and Rhysand defeated the King of Hybern several years ago. Prythian has thrived under the semi-cooperative leadership of the seven High Lords (and one High Lady), but a dark force has been gathering to the West, and as events transpire, it becomes more and more clear that a long lost prophecy must be fulfilled before Prythian can finally be at peace once more. Aidan Meara Ashryver Havilliard has been groomed since childhood to inherit the throne of Adarlan, but at the age of sixteen, she is both sickly and frail, wasting away from an illness that no healer in Erilea has been able to diagnose. When an aunt, long thought dead, resurfaces with information that offers an answer to the disease as well as information about threats to the South, Aidan must make a decision that could affect not only Adarlan or even Erilea but two entirely different worlds.

Manufactured for sin (Blood of the Gods) by GizzyGreggarious

A Love triangle of ancient alien origins, this "pair" of 3 retired demigods (not a typo) take a romantic vacation to rekindle their potentially polygamous marriage. They embark to have a relaxing time, casual fun and couples nights at a fancy resort set in ancient times. None of that shit works out. This tale of warfare, murder, a struggle to survive and the meaning of love, sends these battered demigods into a world of bigger, badder, more vicious gods and monsters that will stop at noting for blood and vengeance, world domination and chaos. Through Egyptian, Greeco-Roman, Norse, Dane mythology and more, this trifecta of confused lovers must divide and conquer, kill and unite to get back home in what can only be described as the worst vacation that could possibly happen to them. Join them in faraway lands, ancient kingdoms and even actual hell, as they gear up for war and show what they are made of...mostly radioactive metals and blue goop, but also courage and love. WARNING: This version contains sex scenes. If you don't want that, but still want the love story and the violence, then check out Adrian Ozryth, for the cleaner version. Same story, no direct sex, and even the first book's cleaner version. Don't get left out, humans!
