While making one of the angriest journal entries she's ever written in her entire life, Yvonne accidentally summons ... something. A boy? It looks like a boy. She doesn't really know. Yvonne only knows two things: 1) She's fresh off a recent heartbreak, thanks to her ex, Cassie, and 2) This boy (whatever he is) is more than happy to help her get revenge. *** Entry in the What in the Wattpad writing contest.

Fra is shaped by self-awareness, trauma, contradicting thoughts and feelings, and by being a failed nihilist all at once. He sees the world with unforgiving clarity and retells his experiences with a disgustingly honest, almost too-confessional voice; shameful thoughts, taboo urges, the parts that make us "bad" friends, and the desires we can't shake off. Therapy was supposed to fix him, yet all it ever did was make him more painfully aware of everything wrong. He knew the causes, the patterns, the diagnoses-none of it helped. He walked into every session already knowing the answers and walked out with nothing to do with them. A mind that understands itself too well and still can't heal is its own kind of hell. Despite wanting to be numb, he isn't numb enough to stop caring-yet not hopeful enough to start living the way he, or society, insists he should. Knowing exactly what's wrong yet having no idea what to do with that knowledge is only one of the many tortures his emotional intelligence has handed him. [This story is a 1st person view based one, Fra and the author are not the same person characters Like Ivan or other ones may be based on real experiences but aren't real people and made up]

One Crown. Two Claims. A War That Cannot Be Won. The death of King Adame Leafvale shattered the realm, and his daughter, Aalina, fled the court-crushed by grief, hunted by guilt, and swallowed by the shadows of her own fears. Now, she returns, scarred but resolute, to claim the throne that was always meant to be hers. But the court she once knew is no longer a place of loyalty or honor. It is a battlefield of deceit, where every smile hides a blade, and every step is a dance of betrayal. In the darkened halls of power, only the strongest will survive. To the south, Britius, bound by a sacred oath and a haunted past, struggles to unite the Etheri-an ancient people torn between honor and survival. His quest to claim the crown is a perilous gamble, one that tests not only his strength but his very soul. And though he walks the path of kings, it is one stained in blood and shadow. But beyond the realms of men, in the forgotten corners of the world, an ancient enemy stirs. His vengeance is as old as the kingdom itself, and his claim to the Thorn Crown is not one of mere ambition-it is a thirst for retribution, a desire to see the kingdom burn. His return will mark the beginning of a new, darker age. In a realm where loyalty is fleeting, and alliances are fragile as glass, every truth is twisted, every promise broken. The fires of war are kindled, and the ashes of a shattered kingdom will leave no man or woman untouched. Only one question remains: Who will emerge from the storm to claim the crown-and what will they have lost in the end? [BOOK ONE OF THE THORN CROWN SERIES] ©Cover rights belong to: Pennywithaney
