Eko is trapped in hybrid form, half-human half-butterfly. She lives in the imperial garden of the Zemor Empire with the crown prince as her only friend. But as she dreams of a life outside of the imperial grounds, her faith in her life-long friend begins to dwindle. During a 15-day banquet, Eko meets Ardor, a mysterious being in dark armor who only visits her in the dead of night. His company, his touch, his blunt but honest words drive Eko to leave behind the life she knows. She follows Ardor in search of the truth behind her hybrid form. But for every secret that Eko holds, Ardor has one hundred more. He is not the intimidating but kind man that Eko instantly fell for. He is not a man at all. cover by @lunaishi

Now she's trapped in a parallel universe of draconian rules and warped versions of everyone. As she spins down a rabbit hole of mind-boggling quantum physics, can she find her way home through the murk of the unknown?

When Freya Inuhakka, a burn survivor, receives a pear enchanted to give her either beauty, wisdom, or power, she chooses her fate by throwing it away. But the Greek Gods refuse to leave her until she makes her choice. ♫~~~♫ Freakish and weird are words describing Freya Inuhakka. This label isn't for her flaming red hair, nor green eyes, countless freckles, or biracial heritage. It's the burnt part of her face that sets her apart. The endless taunts from bullies have hardened her heart. However, her life turns upside-down when she receives the Golden Pear. All she needs to do is to give it to one of three handsome guys to receive a great bargain in return - endless knowledge, everlasting beauty, or unmatched strength. Any of those at her fingertips. But not every gift brings happiness. ♫~~~♫ Cover by: roguehopes Featured at: Young Adult (YA) Wattpad account - Clueless Promoted by: @Thestardustcommunity Review by: 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 & Hradaya ♫~~~~~~~~~~~~~♫ ---WARNING-- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad.com, you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

**AMBYS 2024 WINNER** The Alliance's top galactic terraformer, Pelin Demir, uses state-of-the-art biotech to transform barren rocky planets into lush habitable ecosystems. Seeking escape from a dying Earth and a tragic past, Pelin has devoted a decade to serving the Alliance in the seemingly endless galactic turf war between post-Earth humans and powerful warrior lifeforms, the Karinja. Pelin's life of quiet order is thrown into chaos when her Alliance leaders inexplicably force her to train Midori, a surly rookie navigator. When a terraforming mission spirals into a catastrophic Karinja ambush, Pelin discovers the dazzling secret that Midori, and the generals of the Alliance, are desperate to keep hidden. Forced to navigate deep space, draconian Alliance protocols, and her own turbulent past, Pelin charts a galactic course to protect Midori at all costs from the Karinja assassins hunting her, and from the sinister Alliance generals aiming to use her as a weapon of war. Yet Pelin can't seem to protect herself from her growing feelings towards her abrasive protégé. As the conflict for galactic control reaches a climax, Pelin struggles to keep Midori, and her own heart, safe. 🥇AMBYS 2024 WINNER - SCIENCE FICTION 🥇First Place, Katana Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Lovely Valentine Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Gloria Regali Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Jamboard Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Hearts Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥈 Second Place, Aster Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Star Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Misfit Awards 2022, Science Fiction Cover designed by @laylagriffin_

**AMBYS 2024 WINNER** Get out of jail, get yet another crappy criminal henchman job, get his hotshot lawyer ex-girlfriend back. Oh yeah -- and get a murderous demon exorcised from his head. Jason Torres has his route back from rock-bottom perfectly planned out, right? That is, until he gets catapulted head-first into a police investigation into his ex-employers, the mysterious and deadly Saudi criminal organization, Alcor. The police think they've hit the jackpot by exploiting criminal trash like Jason to take down Alcor, except Jason has conveniently forgotten to mention a few details: his innate ability to attract chaos, his unfortunate possession by a bloodthirsty demon, and the fact that he's falling in love with his handsome new police partner, Dante Russo. And of course, there's Jason's biggest deadliest omission. His relationship with Alcor's sadistic boss is more than strictly professional, and she doesn't like sharing. 🥇 AMBYS 2024 WINNER - ACTION 🥇 First Place Winner, Katana Awards 2023, Action 🥇First Place Winner, Valentine Awards 2023, Action 🥇First Place Winner, Clouded Ink Awards 2022, Action 🥈 Second Place Winner, Aster Awards 2022, Action 🥇 First Place Winner, Hearts Awards 2022, Action

When magic begins fading from the world of Aetheria, Aureus, an ordinary archivist, is forced to become a fugitive when he's wrongfully accused of stealing it. For Éadaoin, the loss of all magic means facing past sins when a friend she cursed comes back for revenge. For Kairos, it means using his natural ability to slow time for a last minute reflection. For Ashe, the failure of magical technology becomes a chance to survive grief and start again. But something terrible looms on the horizon for everyone in Aetheria... The Deathless, immortal creatures only vulnerable to magic and bent on ending all life, are coming. Without magic and the fae courts to fight the Deathless, humanity will not survive unless Aureus can escape his former home and journey into a dying world to discover the secrets of his past. Aetheria Falling is the first of three short story collections in The Aetherian Cycle that explore just how personal the end of the world can be. 🏅Amby Award Winner 2024 Fantasy Novella Top Pick
