Fanfiction is a genre that delivers fictional writing for fans but will typically be founded on works of fiction that already exist. It can be based on any fictional or non-fictional topics like video games, cartoons, anime, movies, and more. Game fanfiction books will primarily be a basis for video games and fans can relate to the subject or with the characters. Below is a list of some books that we deem best in the category.<\/p>\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n\n

The Elder Scrolls – Zaneta\u2019s Chronicles: The Lost Mane<\/a>, by A.L. Zuniga<\/h2>\n

The Lost Mane<\/em> is the last book in this trilogy, and in this installment. Adrian chose to go all-in with raw emotion and extraordinary artwork.

Like the other books, The Lost Mane<\/em> follows the story of Zaneta. She is an exceptional Khajiit who lives in Vvardenfell. Everything changes when her family is attacked. Her husband is killed, and she cannot find her children. She courageously decides to go looking for them herself. She will traverse a country filled with political turmoil and on the verge of an unknown epidemic.<\/p>\n

However, she is set on discovering where her loved ones were taken. As she focuses on remaining true to herself, her powers and character are pushed to the extreme. No consequences matter if that is what it means to find her children.<\/p>\n
