Hall of Games [ REWRITE ] | The Varya Chronicles #1 by seventhstar

MISTBORN x GAME OF THRONES *Wattpad YA profile Featured story* If Cadence had said no to a blood spirit, the noble family she worked for would still be alive. Her brother wouldn't be conscripted into the Hall of Games. She wouldn't have to follow him and be a soldier for the rest of her life. Her Papa would still have his head. A close brush with death awakens her necromancy abilities, and she becomes hell-bent on resurrecting her father. However, necromancy is forbidden, and if her secret is exposed, the Hall of Games will execute her. As her new powers demand more than her body can ever give, it will ultimately push her humanity to its limits-if saving her father doesn't destroy her first.

the rise of the void by prsolsona

After their victory at the Temple of Elarion, the guardians are celebrated as heroes, but they know the threat of the Void is far from over. The dark leader's ominous words echo in their minds, spurring them to uncover more about this looming menace. As they study the tome and consult with scholars and sages, they learn that the Void is an ancient, primordial force of chaos and entropy, intent on unbalancing the world and consuming its light. The guardians' quest takes them across diverse and dangerous lands. They seek out hidden archives, long-forgotten temples, and wise hermits, each revealing pieces of a larger puzzle. They learn that the Void can be temporarily repelled but never fully destroyed, as it is a natural counterpart to the light. However, there are ways to maintain the balance, ensuring that neither side gains dominance. Their journey is fraught with peril as the Void's influence begins to manifest more visibly, corrupting nature, warping creatures, and drawing in those who seek power. The guardians must face off against these corrupted beings, all while dealing with their internal struggles and the growing pressure of their mission. In a climactic revelation, they discover that the convergence mentioned in the tome-the alignment of stars that amplifies the Star of Elion's power-also has a counterpart: a celestial event that strengthens the Void's influence. This event is rapidly approaching, and the guardians realize they must act quickly to prepare. The story culminates in a desperate bid to gather allies and fortify a sacred site believed to be a focal point of the Void's influence. As the celestial event looms, the guardians face their greatest challenge yet, battling not just physical manifestations of the Void but also the lure of despair and doubt within themselves.

Paragon - Book I by azimodo

*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.
