CHINESE ARYA STARK meets THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. *A Wattpad Featured story* When everyone wears a mask, who do you trust? In the unforgiving empire of Erden where the Imperials reign supreme, Sarna is a slave. After escaping the brothel where a man burned half her face, she is determined to lead a new life by joining Zichuan Theater as a performer. When an assassination attempt on the crown prince casts suspicion on Zichuan Theater, the fragile foundations of that new life begin to crumble. Incarcerated with a death sentence in line, she is offered a dangerous deal: the crown prince's head in exchange for Zichuan Theater's freedom. To save her theater, Sarna journeys to learn the dark art of Facechanging from a forgotten god, hides herself behind borrowed beauty, and uses her new identity to infiltrate the Jade Palace. But no godly transaction comes without a price. Not only does she find herself trapped not only in a web of court intrigue, but in a battle for control of her body and her life. As time ticks down for her theater, she must decide between her heart and her freedom, or risk losing everything she has ever loved and worked for - including her identity.

[Soon by WATTPAD BOOKS] In the prestigious race of stars, Sozo must hide the truth of who she is or pay with her life, but her blossoming relationship with the most talented competitor threatens everything she's worked for. ***** Every ten years, the lucky chosen bond with stars and race to win a wish. Any wish. Sozo is one of the lucky chosen, but she has a secret: as an Omen -- cursed beings that can transform into monsters -- she's forbidden from competing. Discovery would mean her death. Can she hope to keep her identity a secret, let alone win the race, especially as the talented and sunny Naqi enters the picture? When Sozo is given an ultimatum, she has to choose: betray her Omen people, or betray the people who are slowly, surely, becoming like a family to her. --- WATTYS AWARD 2020 "Bar none, this was [Senior Editorial Specialist] Amanda's absolute favourite read from the Wattys this year. It makes you cry, just from pure, uncontainable joy, and the ending kept us reading until nearly 6am. Everything about this story is beautiful. We were astounded that anyone could create something so magnificent and moving and magical. This level of storytelling mastery will never not blow us away." [Word Count: 70,500]

Everyone feels it. The demons, humans, and elementals. . . whether they notice or not, they feel a war brewing, and so does Two. The Demon Days are approaching as the thousand-year seal begins to crumble, and when chaos arises from untimely deaths, Two, an assassin, is thrust into a journey with seven princes. The common goal is to prevent the war by obliterating its source: Daetunos, the king of the demons. But that is easier said than done. Seven princes from different kingdoms, different backgrounds must embark on this quest with her, and the task becomes more difficult when webs of deception and threads of intertwined fate begin to unfurl as she and the princes venture deeper into the past and the reason why they were chosen by destiny to complete this daunting journey. As mingled history, distorted truths, and fabricated masks unveil, Two and the seven princes must carry the future of Kartas on their shoulders as the pendulum of time swings and makeshift alliances begin to collapse. Will the power of teamwork and companionship defeat the upcoming evils, or will tension, deception, and betrayal doom Kartas and them all? *** Date Started: June 8, 2019 Part One Started: June 8, 2019 Part One Ended: July 30, 2020 Part Two Started: August 1, 2020 Arc One Ended: May 5, 2021 Arc Two Ended: July 14, 2021 Arc Three Ended: August 1, 2022 Arc Four Ended: TBA Arc Five Ended: TBA Arc Six Ended: TBA Part Two Ended: TBA *** Story By: BTSXPRESS
