Veil: Tale of a 16 Moons [FANTASY EPIC] [MAGICAL COMING OF AGE + ROMANCE] by abhi_k8

Lutra. Where a once-thriving kingdom now teeters on the brink of collapse. Lutra. Where behind the facade of order, sinister forces gather momentum, orchestrating brutal acts disguised as justice. Lutra. Where magic realms bounded by promises converge, ushering in an era of sorcery that reshapes the world's very fabric. Yet, hope lingers in the hands of three unlikely champions, who each embody the essence of their fractured land and wield inexplicable powers, even if they cannot fathom it yet. The Prince, scarred by the slaughter of the royal family, harbors an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Enduring years of torment, he unlocks an inner strength that not only transforms him but also alters the kingdom's destiny. The Sorceress, daughter of the Land's Arbiter, grapples with her lack of magical abilities. Her self-imposed exile leads her on a quest for purpose, finding a way back to who she was and would be. The Seer, caught in the King's oppressive regime, endures persecution by the once-noble protectors, the Riders, turned executioners. Betrayals and tragedy shape his path, bestowing upon him both a curse and a blessing, seeing the very future that hides illusively behind closed doors. In the gripping tale, 'Veil,' the trio's destinies intertwine as they strive to salvage a realm torn by darkness and treachery. I promise that you won't be able to put it down!

Call of Fate by Arraak

Pain. I hadn't felt it in a long time. Now, finally, it came back. The all too familiar sensation wrenched out the subconscious of mind and gave it conscience. Allowed it to spring to life. By lightning reflex, a dagger appeared within my hands. The drowsiness of sleep was blasted aside and gave way to a surging storm of energy. I had been found. The enemy in front blinded me with bright light emitted from the palm of her right hand. A sorceress. I had been careless. My left cheek pulsated in warning. I had been attacked. Had she struck me with a curse? Poison? It may be timely to die. But not like this. I took aim and launched the dagger. // Cynthe is a sorceress from the magic city of Melintha. Her life is normal(ish). Until the gods mysteriously send her away to an unknown world to heed her call of fate. To find a secretive warrior and explore new wonders as she embarks on the biggest adventure of the aeon. Or not. She could also just mind her own business and herd goats or something. Turn the virtual page already to find to find out what happens in this ancient and awe-inspiring (goat-filled??) world!

In a world where myths come alive and ancient prophecies shape the fate of entire realms, dragons reign supreme as creatures of both wonder and fear. Their scales shimmer like molten metal, their wings carry them across continents, and their breath can incinerate cities. Yet, the age of dragons is in peril, not only from the greed of mortals but from forces far darker than anyone could imagine. The Rise of the Dragon Realms is set in a high-fantasy world, where the Dragon Realms-ancient territories ruled and protected by the dragons-are under threat from a malevolent force that seeks to enslave all life. This force is led by the Dark One, a sorcerer of unimaginable power who has harnessed forbidden magic from the Netherworld. His ambition is not just to rule the world but to twist the natural order, making dragons his slaves and turning the world into a wasteland of his creation.

A Prince's Errand [PREVIEW] ✔️ | Book One of TALES OF THE AMULET by Robert_Zangari

Several millennia ago a war raged between the factions of dragonkind. With their world ravaged, the Kaldean Alliance forged the Amulet of Draconic Control and the Tethering Stone, and banished their foes to other realms, saving Kalda from utter destruction. Fearing the power of the Amulet, the survivors secreted it away. But now knowledge of the Amulet has resurfaced-and in the wrong hands, war could erupt anew. Long ago, men harnessed the Channels of Power, creating tevisrals-devices capable of manifesting magic. But men weren't the only ones to accomplish such feats. Dragons crafted the most sophisticated tevisrals. These shaped the world, defining civilization of man and elf alike. Over the centuries, the people of Kalda have fallen into a dark age, where elves are estranged from men and dragons have retreated into legend. Tevisrals are scarce and men are willing to trade everything for them. But there are some who wish to bury the past, and in their lands, possessing tevisrals is tantamount to treason. Still, daring men scour the world in search of Kalda's past. One such man, the scholar Krindal, seeks an ancient order known as the Keepers of Truth and Might. He yearns for their knowledge, long feared lost. Prince Kaescis Midivar also searches for these Keepers. The assassination of his uncle, the emperor of Mindolarn, killed his hopes of peace with his empire's enemies. His empire's survival hinges upon unearthing the Keepers' secrets. An aging warrior, Cornar Dol'shir, longs to be home with his wife. But his retirement must wait, as his band of adventurers is recruited to help find the Keepers' hidden temple on the Isle of Klindala. Haunted by his tragic past, Iltar, the Son of Adrin, does not join in the search for the Keepers. Instead, he seeks to unravel the mysteries held within a volume of prophecy foretelling the advent of the Unspoken One and the return of the Crimson Eye.
