This is a sample of the new fantasy novel, "Tahr - The Days of Ash and Fury Volume One," available free on Kindle Unlimited.

The racist, gluttonous king of Mor mismanages the kingdom of Men, destroying trade between neighboring peoples.  An ambitious and amoral sorcerer plots to usurp the throne by enslaving a starving and overworked population with a powerful, addictive potion.  The disparate nations of Elves and Dwarves brace to withstand an imminent threat to the very world of Tahr as fiery pits and strange omens begin to emerge throughout the lands.  Rumors and visions of an ageless evil begin to haunt humanity as a once tranquil world faces chaos and cataclysm.

Four extraordinary young men and women from the races and reaches of Tahr are drawn together by providence and divination, their roles to play in the looming horrors unclear.  Lucan Thorne, a roguish young tavern hustler. Aria Evanti, the beautiful and demure Elven Princess of Thornwood. Prince J'arn Silverstone, stoic Firstson of the Dwarf King of Belgorne. Shyla Greykin, an insatiably curious and adorably irreverent Gnomish girl.  These are but a few of the varied and layered characters you will discover as you wander the dark and enchanted land of "Tahr." 

Welcome to the first installment of the new character-driven debut fantasy series, "The Days of Ash and Fury."

[COMPLETED] I was cursed at such a young age, abandoned by my own wolf and the Moon Goddess for something that wasn't in my control. I don't even think having a mate is in the cards for me... ✨🌘✨ I jumped when the final horn sounded, circling the garden before everyone became silent. They all returned to their seats, my father rising from his chair as I stood from my seat along with the other pups. I struggled to breath as we took our position, standing in the centre away from everyone else. My father offered me a reassuring glance though it did nothing to ease my anxiety, all I had to do now was wait. My eyes widened when the moons blue light shined down on me, illuminating my skin as I stared up at the sky in awe. "We thank the moon goddess for the power of her light..." I dropped my gaze back down, my fathers words surrounding us, "...Shall it bathe you and grant you strength, agility, speed like the wolf..." The pups around me began to moan in pain, capturing my attention as I furrowed my brows. Their features were all contorted by an invisible pain that inflicted them but I felt absolutely nothing. My heart raced when their groans of pain became screams but I- I suddenly drop to the ground, a painful throbbing in my head forcing me to the ground. I grip the sides of my head, screaming. I don't know how to explain it but it felt as though my brain was tearing in two, like my head was cracking open. When the pain stopped, I found myself surrounded by wolves, the shifted pups. Looking down at myself, I only see my body, no paws and no fur. I hadn't shifted... ✨🌕✨ Book 2* 'The Wolven King' is the first book and must be read in order to understand this one. ⚠️ WARNING!! This book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+. There are depictions of violence, mature language, sexual behaviour and sexual abuse.

The Belorian Chronicles by ProabisHD
3 parts Ongoing Mature
The Land of Beloria A land brimming with magic and natural beauty, Belloria is home to humans, dwarves, elves, beastmen, and countless mythical creatures. Yet beneath its enchantment, the realm is fractured-its people divided. The elves rule the western lands, their mastery of magic unmatched. Separated from the rest of Beloria by the massive Vyrath Divide, a river so wide and powerful it acts as a natural barrier, the elves have grown distant-and arrogant. Humans, once thriving across Beloria, have been hunted nearly to extinction. Now, they survive in the frozen, inhospitable North, in a small nation called Frosthelm. The brutal climate forces them to rely on ingenuity and sheer will. Though scorned by the other races, humanity remains resourceful-and dreams still stir of reclaiming their place in the world. To the East, dwarves and beastmen have forged a formidable alliance. The dwarves, masters of craftsmanship, labor in vast underground forges, building advanced technology and weaponry. The beastmen, fierce and physically dominant, lend raw strength to their cause. Together, they pose a rising challenge to the elven rule-but tensions within their alliance threaten to tear it apart. The southern lands are shrouded in unnatural darkness, feared by all. Magic there is dying-drained from the land itself-leaving behind dead forests, cracked earth, and cursed wastelands. The air carries an ancient evil, its corruption spreading like a sickness across Beloria. Whispers of this growing darkness haunt the edges of every border, foretelling a coming doom.
A Knights Realm: Forsaken Rise by HollowFire
23 parts Complete
The history of Tiseria is littered with ferocious battles. Battles, between the many different races, which threatened to engulf the entire realm. Races and creatures have become extinct, or very close to it, but, no war had been as terrible as the Dark Wars. Over a thousand years ago the Cultists of Volkin tried to bring forth their underworld god into the living realm. They almost succeeded. The cult had been defeated by the allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, and by the Covenant of the Magi. Tiseria prospered and there was general peace in the wake of the Dark Wars. Peace which had gone, relatively, unbroken, until now. The armies of darkness are rising once more. After more than a millennia the Cult of Volkin has returned, returned to finish what they had started. The cult is more devastating than ever, equipped with powers bestowed upon them by Volkin himself. They intend to wreck havoc, spread corruption, fear and distraught, through the kingdoms, and raise their Dark God once again. Releasing a corruption upon the physical realm, and causing the various races to become hosts for evil spirits, the Cult of Volkin is demonstrating their power to all. The descendants of the Covenant of the Magi and Knights Order, combined to create the Order of Light, must once again brave the horrors brought forth by Volkin's minions. Two knights have been chosen to undertake the suicidal mission of reuniting the races of Tiseria and retying the bonds of allegiance between them. The fallen, and dishonoured, Knight-Captain, Ryan Quinn, and the proud, and noble, Michael Crow, must traverse the three remaining kingdoms in hopes of uniting the Human, Dwarven and Elven races once more against the terror that is Volkin. With dungeons, dragons, magic and goblins set to cross their paths, can these two knights survive and what else will they encounter?
