Poisoned with one month to live. Tasked to loot a castle. In a kingdom running out of resources. Little did Meya know this shenanigan would lead her across land and over sea, from a mountain made of sapphire to an island shrouded in spiral clouds, with masquerades, heists, kidnappings, shipwrecks, alchemy, romance, and an unexpected 'bump' along the way.

When the sun goes down, the gravestone statues in Willow Hills Cemetery come to life--including Gretta. As a granite guardian of the dead, it's her job to make sure her charge--the snarky, hot-headed, lesbian spirit Quinn Rivera--crosses over and finds spiritual peace. But that's a little hard to do when Quinn's twin brother Jason blames himself for her premature death. And for Quinn to agree to cross over, he must learn the truth of her accidental passing and the bipolar episodes that led her to shut him out beforehand. But reaching out to the living is against the rules, and to break them would mean facing the most power-hungry and terrifying spirit of all: Death. *** Inspired by 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘰 (but not a retelling), Willow Hills is a southern gothic story with paranormal/horror elements. 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲'𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 (𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥) C/W: Gore, some violence, and light to moderate swearing. Neurodiverse and LGBT #ownvoice rep.

Luminous was just a less than perfect Lady In Waiting and friend to the prince of the red kingdom, and secret girlfriend (secret from him) to the knight in training Chasm. But the night before the ball, before Luminous could tell Chasm her feelings for him these dark creatures called the corrupt attack. From that night forward she became the next welder of the Dawn of Fate. A sassy know-it-all sword with powers to stop these creatures as well as the Crow King, the mastermind who controls them. But she's going to need a little extra help from a powerful wizard named Vainglorious, who doesn't seem too eager to do it unless there is something in it for him. Will Vainglorious the cold-hearted wizard help Luminous on her quest? Will she be able to defeat the Crow King along with other enemies she meets along the way? Will Luminous save her prince/childhood friend as well as the stoic knight in training/ crush Chasm along with the rest of her kingdom? Without it ending in tragedy? Now available on Webnovel, Tappa, and YouTube. (Posting every Thursday/Friday unless school gets in the way)
