Lord Dryk and all his followers were defeated centuries ago. Or so the white mages believed until the reincarnation of his very own mistress, Ramona and her campaign to resurrect the dark lord. Yet darkness could return without the promise of a savior. Wayne a mage born without the gift was shipped off to stay with his uncle Alard and his daughter Calley, another abomination to the line of magic, while his father goes off with the other mages to find the savior and bring an end to the campaign of Ramona. But in the rarest of times, when no one expected, Wayne’s gift awakened, not in the manner which everyone thought it would be, and no one sensed it except Alard, yet that wasn’t all, Calley also awakened the gift like every other mage in history attracting the eyes of both good and evil, forging the prophecy to take a form no one saw coming and with it, the beginning of a long-avoided war. *** “I am tired of waiting for saviors, Fifteen years they have searched and found nothing. My father risks his life on a prophecy that may be empty. And we sit here like sheep, praying some child will appear to save us.” “In the old tales, it was not only mages who broke Dyrk’s host at the Battle of Broken Chains. It was the swords of men, thousands of them held the line while the archmages sang their spells. Common steel bought the world its freedom when magic faltered. If this Ramona comes again, let her face more than spells. Let her face men who will not wait for miracles.” Alard studied him for a long moment, something unreadable moving behind his eyes. “And what would you have, nephew?” “Train me,” Wayne said.

In a world where magic is everything and bloodline is destiny, one boy was born with nothing. Aethoria is a continent fractured by war five rival kingdoms each anchored to a unique form of elemental magic drawn from the Aeths, crystallized veins of life force buried deep in the earth. For a thousand years, the kingdoms coexisted in uneasy balance. Then the Solmere Empire began to burn. Karl Dun is seventeen years old when his village is set alight. He is a commoner, an orphan, and worst of all in Aethoria Aethless: tested twice and found hollow, incapable of bonding with any elemental magic. In a society where your Aeth-bond determines your value, your rank, and your right to dream, Karl has been told since childhood that he is nothing. But when a Solmere fire-officer seizes his wrist during the burning of Durnholt, something impossible happens. Karl absorbs the man's fire-Aeth. Not copies it. Not borrows it. Takes it and the fire burns in his veins as though it has always been there. Forced to flee into the cursed Grey wood forest, Karl encounters Sera ..a disgraced Deaven shadow mage wanted in four kingdoms who recognizes what he is before he does. She calls his ability Mirroring: the rarest, most feared power in Aethoria's history, last recorded three hundred years ago in the mage who ended the First Kingdom War. The empire hunts Mirrors above all else because a Mirror cannot be defeated by magic. A Mirror becomes magic. As the Solmere Arbiters close in and the other kingdoms begin to mobilize, Karl must learn to control a power he does not understand, survive an alliance with a woman whose loyalties are her own, and decide whether the prophecy that named him the Hollow King, the Aethless

In a world governed by the Beast Pact, your worth is determined by the glow of a testing sphere. For Kaelen, the sphere remained dim, marking him as an E-rank "scumbag." While others bonded with majestic dragons, Kaelen was chosen by a "defective" shadow-beast that the world deemed a death sentence. Mocked by his family and betrayed by his fiancé, Kaelen is left to rot in a sabotaged dungeon. But deep in the darkness, the "defect" speaks. It isn't a beast—it is the Void Sovereign, and it doesn't want to fight beside Kaelen; it wants to become him. After years of agonizing training in the world’s most hellish dungeons, Kaelen returns. He is no longer the weakling they trampled. He is tattered, scarred, and hiding a power that could devour the world. When the elite try to kneel him again, they will realize they aren't facing a mage—they are facing the end of their era.

"I want to retire." One of the elites in the army, Luke, complained silently as he wanted to take a break from his job. Duty bound as a soldier and genius as a mage from a famous magic academy, Luke had achieved the rank of corporal in his younger age. One day on a mission, there's storm going on inside his country as conspiracies brewing in secret. 'Who cares about the country, go to hell!' thought Luke, as he avoided a barrage of bullets and ran away for his life before his body would be shred to pieces. In the last second before the explosion hit him, time stopped and some unknown force pulled him from the fabric of reality, placing him in a place far away from home. The mystic land of dragons, inner energy, and demons. "What the--"

In a world where magic is king, being a regular human is dangerous. So dangerous that there are very few non-magical humans left, and they only survive with the protection of mages. Mages feel a mixture of pity and revulsion for these un-evolved humans, and call them Zombies, for, without magic, they are lifeless. Most zombies are resigned to their fate, happy to live and work in the shadows of the great mage cities and living simple lives. They keep to themselves to avoid the cruelty and prejudice of some mages, and count themselves lucky to be left alone. The world is filled with powerful magic, dark spirits, terrifying monsters and mages of great power. Zombies should be happy they get to live at all. This is the story of one Zombie who had enough, and, through a twist of fate, finds the means to become stronger.
