“Of course combining elfsong and The Word is a bad idea. Which is why we should be the ones to try it first.”

A novel approach to magic might be just the thing to help Third-Order Wizard Nicodemus Ordwell surpass Corbello, the most famous warding wizard in Word history. But for his reluctant apprentice, disgraced elven Prince Elorhyn Tanrys, it’s a life-or-death situation.

In order to convince the no-nonsense Order of the Word to allow them to experiment, they must promise to use their uniquely qualified skills to resolve occasional magical mishaps. Botched rituals, escaped creatures, stolen artifacts, malfunctioning wards, and sabotage are only a few of the obstacles that distract them from their experiments.

Fantasy X-Files Meets Better Call Saul

When you just want to live a normal life, being Goddess Touched can have its drawbacks.

Lone elf Hirgon Merritt has no memories of his past, but when his search for answers leads him to the goddess Ayraven, her reaction to him has him second guessing how badly he wants to know.

Elven Prince Elorhyn Tanrys is ready and willing to fight goddesses as he searches for a solution to save his mother's life - and the lives of his own people.

Someone in every other generation in Hali's family is born a seer, but after goddess Dahna's disembodiment, those visions are growing increasingly fractured. Being expected to provide hope and guidance in a world that is falling apart is challenging. When you unexpectedly find yourself serving two goddesses, it feels impossible.

Blessed from birth by the goddess Este, Healer Andrew Norwood’s life isn't his own. Raised by a traveling apothecarist rather than in a formal Temple, Andrew always knew he was different, but his ability to heal any living soul, regardless of species, turns out to be unprecedented. It is a gift that makes him invaluable - and a target. With no guidelines and disastrous consequences for failure, Andrew finds himself reluctantly drawn in to celestial chaos.

A Classic Fantasy Series

They were the first generation of elves born after The Destruction of Lyramir, and grew up in a dual world of human influence and elven grief. When the Tanrys Court returns to their ancestral home world, their poignant homecoming is both exciting and bewildering, and their differences become impossible to ignore as they come of age in a world that is strange only to them.

Follow along as ten young elves seek love and purpose in a community both strange and familiar.

“You’re just a hot mess, aren’t you?”
“I thought I was, until I met you.”

Loud, awkward elf Aggi Wycliffe always struggled to meet high expectations at home in Lyramir, but she found the freedom to be herself in the high-tech, human-made world of Antares.

Bodyguard Rowan Alpinia has always lived in the shadow of the elven prince of the Tanrys Court, but after a personal tragedy, he set out on an unusual mission to prove he still has some worth.

When Rowan arrives on Aggi's doorstep, she finds herself drawn back toward her old life, and forward into an unexpected world of drama and danger.

Like it or not, they’re now stuck with each other. He’s lost his memory, and she’s lost her magic, but they're both determined to prove that they're not lost causes.

Places

Antares:

Antares is not very loosely based on the online virtual world of Second Life, where the users can create the content, from the tips of your toes to the tops of the mountains. It is owned and operated by Linden Labs. I have no association with Second Life or Linden Labs other than being a long time 'resident' of the game. Anything you can possibly imagine can be created within the game, but for the most part, users just make a home away from home. These stories are technically LitRPG. The characters do not think they live in a virtual world. They see it as a place with extremely advanced technology, operated through the viewers they receive when they register. I envision it as a tablet. Users will hopefully recognize I'm refering to the applications we open to access the game on our devices.

Lyramir and The Shattered Worlds:

Imagine the aftermath of the collision of two planets, the pieces suspended in space, still connected to each other by tenuous threads of magic that you can conveniently travel through. Yes, there was an incident, involving gods and their ongoing feuds. Fortunately, these planetary chunks have since been made habitable again, and are populated by various peoples, both magical and non, created by the children of the god Balath.

Lyramir is one of those worlds, tended to by Lyra, and inhabited by the elves and other fae creatures she created.

Panati is another such world, tended to by Belath, inhabited by the humans he created. This one has the most magical connections, or entrances, to all of the other worlds.

There are dozens of these little interconnected worlds, so those who inhabit them think traveling to other worlds is perfectly normal. However, no one from here has ever done it through the Void.

Until recently.
