Fire and Ice by saaya_2

In the pages that follow, a tale unfolds, revealing a love veiled in sacrifice. The story explores the lives of individuals cursed to unite and perish together, bound by an uncontrollable force. Who are these cursed souls, and what led to their intertwined destinies? What words have the power to sever their cherished bonds? As the narrative unravels, the weight of sacrifice becomes apparent, questioning whether the rewards of love outweigh the losses. The enigmatic Moira, embodiment of destiny, will shape their path. Will they sacrifice their loved ones to salvage what remains? Can they bear the burden of these choices? Will The Throne, symbolizing power, yield to the force of human emotions? This is no ordinary love story, but a tale of death, destruction, and sacrifices made for the greater good. It challenges our understanding of love, urging us to question our devotion and the lengths we would go to protect those we hold dear. Enter this world, where love is entwined with darkness, and prepare for a journey that tests our notions of love and the sacrifices it demands. Within these words lie the answers to our deepest questions about love and the sacrifices we are willing to make.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.

Kingdom's Fall by mygoditsraining

Updating Fridays and Sundays, Kingdom's Fall is a fantasy adventure set in a world where heroes find themselves pitted against an ancient and powerful magic. Kara has lived her whole life trapped under the roof of her father's inn. She longs for adventure, but there is little to be found in a backwater village: at least until Aiden Baird arrives. Noble, rogue, and spy - Aiden Baird is the most notorious man in the Kingdom. Or he would be, if he could remember who he is... Cuan has lived his entire life as the garrison brat, surrounded by soldiers. Unwanted and ignored, he travels north in the service of the one man he looks up to: Gray, the garrison captain. But Captain Gray has concerns of his own. It has been fifteen years since he last saw the King, and they did not part on good terms. Something dark is growing in the Kingdom. Trade from the south has choked to a standstill, and the air over the marshes hangs heavy with the threat of war. In the north the sea-wall, the ancient defence that protects the coastline, is crumbling. The people look to their lords for guidance, and the lords look to their King. King Varion has little time for their concerns. His daughter has been kidnapped by a priest-cult who intend to sacrifice her and summon an ancient power into the world. Faced with an enemy beyond human understanding, there is only one conclusion. In order to save their people, the Kingdom must fall.

Tempting Darkness [17+] ✔ by Daydream1011

A monster with the body of a man, jet black eyes of a soulless demon, and even darker feather wings cascading from its back.

Forced asleep by a council who believed in the greater good, many revered the monster. Yet the town's eternal population was torn in two. Half awaited the day for the foretold cursed soul to come and resurrect their lord and the other half feared it just as much. And guess who got to be that lucky bitch. *No love triangle* -&- **WARNING** This book WILL have mature, adult content! Please be aware of this before reading.
