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

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 by Larryn_Wave

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤: He wants to live in a story, Really? He should have asked himself before leaving, lying. So, the wind asked, "Really, a story?" He nodded to himself, "yeah, life's just so..." "Unfair, cruel, painful, unforgivable." It whispered. He sat thinking, "always." As he runs away from his problems, his 'unforgivable' life. He finds a library, finally. Solace. Books, the one thing he cold understand without second guesses, without having to worry about lies, hurt, betrayal. He takes out a book, pure white. He opens it, it's all blank not a dot of ink in sight. He flips to the back. An encryption, he traces. Dot-to-dot. Then it flies. The centre of the old library. As he walks towards it, he sees a portal fade into existence. He walks through, There. There it was. A fantasy, a real-life story. A world Koris hopes is true every minute he lives in it, pleading each day it won't disappear or be taken away from him. He takes on a duty, he lies, he uses magic to make right wrong, justifying his actions. Words change people. The Isles, they say, are to be forever peaceful, forever united in words, but what if the words backstab, instead of describing a beautiful scene, you rewrite it to inflict pain, woe, sadness, anger. The Isle, they say, Will never change, maybe not now. Maybe not now, but someday, sometime it will...

Feral Regality by hopeful_soul

A common soldier. A monstrous being. What all could occur if the two were to cross paths? Csilla. A just adulting soldier forced into fighting a war whose result is already predetermined. A war her side was fated to lose. An enemy she was assigned to kill. A creature her race was taught to fear. The rage of war spiked in the air, she marched into battle with a mission forced in her mind- destroy the head of the enemy. What happens if she fails? **Note that this book contains torture scenes, brutality, mature scenes, violence, harsh language and a lot of fiction. Kindly use your imagination and refrain reading if you are faint hearted.**

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.
