Welcome to Mysten: a continent where the Five Kingdoms used to live in peace. Racial discrimination between Humans, Elves and Dwarves was abolished, and all was well...
Until the Dwergi started a war.
Now coined the War of Mages, the Dwergi believe magic should be abolished, and all races should be segregated and enslaved.
Jax, a human from a small town wants to make his father abd brother proud by joining the army, but unseen forces are at work here. Is he really a murdered, or is there something more to the so-called accident?
Ubi had always wanted to escape her sheltered life at the University of Magic. Learning to be a scholar wasn't all it cracked up to be, and she longed to pick up a staff and use her magic ability to fight! yet, her wishes are granted when the University is infiltrated and she is forced to use what little training she has to escape with her life! Can she rely upon her knowledge alone?
Between the cracks, however, something more sinister is going on. Calos doesn't with to be part of the Dwergi army- the race used to hold principles upon peace and religion, but now things have turned violent! and now the priests may have awoken something even more sinister.
The three, unsuspecting souls have been thrown into a war they are starting to realize is bigger than they think. Can they survive?
Or will they suffer the same fate as centuries of generations before them?
And so I come to the last soldier to find their way to me: Tori. She battles with two halves of herself, especially when it comes to the last night of her life, when she realises that her aunt and uncle have kept secrets all these years, when she finds that she can...do things...
People she knew start to die, connecting these to her flippant comments Tori realises she has the potential to take back all that Boundary have taken from her.
Yet, when she finds herself at the mercy of men from Boundary, she finds a renewed strength that awakens something within her.
One corpse can lead to another...
Does she have it in her to choose between revenge or doing what is right?
WARNING: CONTAINS THEMES OF RAPE AND SEX.
The second warrior to be drawn to the impending war is Sam- an outside even in a ring of outsiders. He is the lowest of the low, in a town that doesn't matter to the world, who are you when you don't matter to the town? His death went unnoticed, his flat raided and his existence forgotten.
Until he receives a gift from a Goddess...
Now Sam faces his own sanity (or lack of) in his journey to find out what he is fighting for. Why was he chosen? Who is Ana?
He is determined not to let Tyrell turn it's back on him forever...
Even if it means contributing o the revolution he didn't believe in, not so long ago.
This I bring you, is the third story that led to the Black Parade. The story of 5 mindless soldiers who try to break form their puppet master and take control of their own lives. Nate, part of the Wyvern Project was created for the 'betterment of Human society'. Although, that is what he is led to believe. When he witnesses the secret that lies beneath himself and catches a glimpse of what he can become, he wants to know just what they did to him. But secrets are kept secret for a reason, and it is up to Nate and the 4 other Wyverns to find out what happened to them, who Corey is and stop what disastrous consequences could come of the deadly research.
And what the hell is all this stuff about Souls...??
The time has come. The people are ready to rise.
They crawl form the very foundations of the city, ready to reclaim what was once theirs.
But is it war, or genocide? A sacred revenge that has been twisted and confused?
Nevertheless, they march, and the more cries of war I hear, the more I start to realize that this goes far beyond our city. Everywhere, people with uncanny abilities keep popping up.
And what of my parents? How were they involved with all the impossible things people are performing?
Why did my parents have to die? What magic did my ancestors use on my home?
Just what is happening?
I am Cynthia, And the Black Parade has finally come.
Tyrell, a city divided. This is the first tale of many that led to the shattering of bones and tasting of blood: it starts with a love story. Gus had everything he wanted, but his only crime was falling in love with the wrong person. He was the first piece of the puzzle, the first warrior drawn by the scent of war. With this I impart the stories of the Black Parade.
Ever heard of a Light so bright, so tangible it's almost solid?
Ever heard of a Darkness so deep and so smooth it's almost as if there's something looking back at you?
Welcome to a world where the Shadows are alive with eyes and ears that watch your everymove; a world where everything bright and sparkling is as corrupt as those they comdemn!
Luna is not a leader, but she finds herself in charge of a colony that are reckless, demanding and threaten to expose the Shadow community and start a war with the Lights.
Jesse, banished from the Light community for predicting an event that people beleive never came true, is stunned to receive more visions. And Jesse is never wrong.
Two lost souls, thrown together, must take on the responsibility of preventing a war by those who have been deprived of life and try and uncover what dark secrets lurk behind the Light Elders, those who claim they are innocent and just!
