The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance
39 parts Complete
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

The Dreadfang

18 parts Complete Mature

Allow me the grand honor of introducing you to Sam the Dreadfang. A dauntless warlord, an inimitable mentor, and the venerated father of ten-thousand-and-one. Yet the man wasn't always the greatness he stands today. Once, he was no more than a nameless boy - an orphan torn from his mother's breast and left to rot among the sworn enemies of his kin. Like so many of us, with the weight of the world slowly breaking his back, he should've succumbed to the cruel Mistress of Fate. But then, on one fortuitous day of murder and mayhem, came Dale - the Warbear - Abberford, and the boy saw himself elevated from the chains of poverty to a life of perilous adventure; a journey amid ancient Dwarven dynasties, Goblin kingpins, and crazed revolutionaries. They always said Dale had a scary eye for talent. They had no idea. When the mad wizard - Edgar Thaine - threatens to unveil the world below, a world long forgotten by mankind, the ancient order known as the Highgard sends their most treasured asset, the Warbear, to end the wizard's violent defiance and maintain the old world's privacy. Alongside his new master, Sam is forged to the likes of a young warrior, and taught the ways of a world he'd thought to know before finding himself shackled to the ultimate test: survive and breathe eternal glory, or perish and tumble down the abyss of the nameless.
