You are a brief candle in a long night. You pass through, and we are grateful, but the blackness will take you.
Yet another village full of complaints. Daine listened, delivered all the justice she had power to give, and prepared to move on.
All in a day's work for a Knight of the Road.
Of course, some disliked her intrusion into their schemes, but they were of little concern. They had tried to stop her before and would doubtless try again.
Things change when Daine is charged with the protection of a simple stable boy. Shadows gather around those like Daine who seek to bring light, and their eyes are fixed on the boy.
Can Lady Darkhelm stand in their way? The realm needs heroes, and Daine Darkhelm may not be enough.
BardLyre's Darkhelm is a grim and gritty epic fantasy adventure that thousands have already come to love through Royal Road. Dive in today, and brace yourself for a tale you'll never forget.
Can you trust me, Lady Darkhelm?
The West has fallen, and Daine and her allies are in full retreat. Following her disastrous confrontation with the Trellecs, the Knight of the Road finds herself trapped behind the walls of Swinford—with no chance of escape. The King’s Army is at their door, and betrayal waits around every corner. With Eliud and Kirsten waylaid elsewhere on their quest to recover Genoes from the Dark God, Lady Darkhelm stands alone.
As all seems lost, a familiar face from Daine’s past emerges. But whose side is the Stonehand on? Time will tell, though it may be too late already.
Realm Online: Oathbreaker
Steve’s just an accountant with a serious MMO addiction.
In the game, the people of Tamernil live under the harsh rule of a vile bureaucrat, and Bokta—an outcast blood witch practicing forbidden magic—has a bold plan to save them all. She’ll need to summon a powerful demon, one she’s been watching through a scrying mirror for years.
There’s just one hitch: the mighty demon she’s been watching isn’t he real. He’s a character in Realm of Crafted War, and the man behind the keyboard is a far cry from a savior.
Violently dragged into the world of Realm Online, Steve will have to learn how the hell he's going to survive, all while masquerading as Maxkrannar, the demon Oathbreaker he's supposed to be.

Forsaken Talents 1: A Dark Path
The Seven Portals to Wonder changed the world. The most advanced AI ever created powered the worlds, bringing infinite possibilities and endless adventure to everyone across the globe. War on Earth practically ceased as most of the planet's population became addicted to the game.
Ben Hales was no different. He spent a few years saving enough money to buy lifetime passes for himself and his daughter, Ingrid. Now he has the cash, and Ingrid just turned 16, the minimum age required to play.
Not everything—or everyone—in Wonder is quite as it seems. Evil lurks both inside and outside the game, and that evil finds Ben all too soon.
Ravaged by loss and consumed by hatred, Ben awakens an ancient necromancer and a host of long-forgotten classes. Now he's building his citadel of darkness and raising an army of the dead with a singular goal: revenge.
If it means the death of everyone inside Wonder... so be it.
