"And the fifth Rider is . . ."

*

Princess Ashlyn Rehlia of Nightshorne wants escape.

Since the assassination of her father six years ago, she's been her mother's slave, barred from the outside world. But this year, she plans to change that by attending the Selecting, the ceremony that chooses the kingdom's newest dragon-riders-in-training. The only problem: her mother refuses to let her attend, forcing Ash to think of a creative solution.

When Ash finally escapes her mother, she is offered the chance of a lifetime, a chance she can't possibly ignore. But when secrets arise, identities are revealed, and the very nature of the world hangs in the balance, Ash finds herself right in the middle of it all, the deciding factor in an equation she doesn't fully understand.

For star's sake, she just wanted a simple life. How hard could it be?

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld. Credits for the cover go to an absolutely amazing cover artist and fellow writer Narcisse Navarre @InkSorcery. The Prophecy of Water is ONLY available on Wattpad.

Forsaken by the one person who was supposed to love her unconditionally, Red must brave the magic and monsters of the Wylds to find her true place in the world. ***** Plagued by a weak heart, Red is an outcast in the Blood Moon Pack, a tribe of savage wolf-shifters held together by two things: their fanatic worship of the Night Goddess, and the ashwood walls that keep the real monsters out. Everybody must pull their weight. Only the strong are permitted to survive... Hunter Callahan, son of the Blood Moon Alpha, is counted among the strongest. Only Red seems to sense the vulnerability lurking behind his arrogant mask. Only she can understand the compassion underlying his violence; the boy who took a beating as a child to spare a butterfly from having its wings clipped. She saw herself in that butterfly. She sees herself in him. And he can barely stand to look at her. ***** [65-70k words] Best Ranks: 13th in #Werewolf 1st in #paranormalromance, #quest, #goddess and #dragon 2nd in #magic Featured on the 2021 Wattys Shortlist.

The Harbinger by Nicole614ever
18 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where the primordial command the heavenly realm and govern over all forms of magic, dragons and orcs dominate the forests, colossal sea guardians and leviathans patrol the oceans, humanity struggles to coexist with demi-humans while harnessing the rare gift of magic. Six great continents are ruled by powerful emperors and empresses, their alliances and rivalries shaping the fate of the realm. On the continent of Azarithr, war is waged against its weaker neighbor, Eryndor. For weeks, the bloody conflict consumes lives and resources, leaving devastation in its wake. Among the noble families caught in this turmoil is House Ashwynd, tasked with supplying warriors to the royal army. At the helm of this responsibility is Duke Raymond Ashwynd, father to five children: four sons sent to command troops on the frontlines, and one daughter, Rayne. Nineteen-year-old Rayne is no ordinary noblewoman. Bright, resolute, and fiercely independent, she possesses a rare and potent affinity for magic-an ability that sets her apart in a world where such power is a rarity among humans. While her brothers initially shield her from the dangers of their world, their perspective shifts upon discovering her abilities. No longer a sister to be protected, Rayne becomes a respected force within the family, supported in her pursuit of knowledge and mastery of magic. As war rages on, Rayne must navigate a path where loyalty, power, and her own convictions will be tested. Will her gift be a beacon of hope or a harbinger of destruction? This is her story-the rise of Rayne, the whisperer of magic, and the third hero in a saga that will change the course of history.

However, when her soon-to-be husband is burned alive by a fiery creature, she realizes there's more to life than just suitors and balls. ～·～·～ As a woman, Alyria Willows is expected to cast aside her pursuit of independence to fulfil her duties as an acquiescent housewife; all for the sake of one's honour not even her own.

It's only after surviving a terrifying experience that she discovers more than blood flows through her veins.

❝ I am Smaug Titan of the skies You will fear me Cower as my wings eclipse the sun Sovereign of fire Down on your knees You must know you can't run I am Smaug ❞ - Karliene Behold, a creature of legendary stature, worthy of the epic tales of Middle-earth. Its power is so formidable that even the Dark Lord quakes in fear. It unleashes a fiery apocalypse upon the world, leaving destruction in its wake, all in pursuit of a singular goal: the treasure hidden within the mountain. The city of men means nothing to this majestic beast, for it craves only the wealth concealed within the stone halls. Its insatiable greed drives it onward. The dwarves, driven from their mountain kingdom and ancestral home by the inferno that consumed their land, flee in desperation. Yet, there exists a glimmer of hope, not in an inanimate object, but in a living being. "Search high within the mountain's shadows, where ice and darkness reign supreme, and you shall encounter her. Deep within the caverns of Gollum, she slumbers, awaiting discovery. Seek the gleaming sapphire eye, for it holds the key to salvation. Though she possesses a scaly exterior, within beats a heart of purest gold. She will defy her own kind to bring about good. She is the jewel of the beast, the savior you seek. The Night lives on," as foretold in the prophecy of the Winged Night." - 𝘈 𝘏𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 (to clarify, I'm going to give Tatsuo a second name. StarDust. I hope you like it.)

A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #3 in Fantasy |Book 1 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| When darkness arises and the world of Fantasy is in danger of being destroyed, the Dragon Riders are the first to show up. Fire and fang, sword and shaft, meet the enemy head on and the wars don't end until the enemy is disbanded. It's not a pretty business, but it must be done to secure the lives of every creature within Fantasy. There are two Rider schools - over thousands of Riders and dragons - and Smoke Green is one of them, no matter how much she dislikes the idea and the heights. Her fate has been chosen, even if she doesn't want it. With a vacant father, a mother who has too many secrets, four older sisters, an older brother, and a three minute older, annoying twin brother, Smoke isn't expected to be much more than a hometown girl of Folklore; who will get a boring desk job and never leave home. But then the Sage of the Burrows proclaims her a Dragon Rider and a Fifth Daughter and Smoke's life changes stories - literally. Moving from Folklore to Legend, Smoke is taught that fears can be conquered and villains do have a hunger for power. She also learns she might just have the power this villain is after. She makes friends: Something she didn't know she could do, she finds her dragon: Someone she didn't know even existed, and she learns her past: Something she didn't know was so complicated. But when rebellions begin to break out across the globe; the world of Fantasy is once again put in danger and the Dragon Riders might not be able to save their home this time around. Especially, when the enemy is from one of their own royal families; once thought incinerated, and his accomplice might just be Smoke's long thought dead father. In this first book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy, J.J. wants you to forget everything you think you know of mythology and open your mind to a new kind of fantasy.

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.
