---𝐊𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 is three things: A lover, a psychopath and a liar. Trapped between her own two perfect visions of hell, Kiara wants to free herself from the service of others, yet her only way out of this trap puts her into servitude of a greater power; a life she despises even more. When opportunity presents itself to Kiara, things change. She finds her unique skills might just offer her the key to escape her cage. ------ "If it's dangerous, we'll find another way." She couldn't risk losing him, not yet. "It's not dangerous, and that's what worries me." "What is going on, Kor? Talk to me." Kor pulled Kiara in close to him, not romantically but to make sure nobody could hear his words. "You mentioned two nights ago, stealing from the palace. I can do it." "What?" Kiara gasped. Her plan was a joke, a ploy to keep him in her bedroom longer. "The palace army is marching out of Coldmore as we speak, with most of the city guard. Only a few of us will remain. I can take a few jewels and we can leave. It will take days before they realise they're gone. We'll find a buyer far from here and escape. Then we can do whatever you need to follow the fire inside you." Kiara was feeling emotions she'd never felt before. She wasn't prone to happiness or elation quite like this. The closest she came to joy was her evening sunset, and even then that was more about letting go of the day than anything else. Before she let herself be swept up in the moment, she remembered that the man before her was worried about something. She had to remember she was supposed to care as to why. -- 1st on Romance Category on The Lily Awards 05/18/22 3rd on Fantasy Category on April Awards 07/07/22 1st on Best plot twist on Pawesome Awards 09/24/22 2nd on Best Cover on The Brine Awards 09/18/22

For in there, she's likely to get killed by shape shifting wolves- hunters. Determined to go to the woods, Red meets her first hunter, a huge white wolf with eyes as blue as the midnight sky.

𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥 · 28x FEATURED · An Asian sci-fi retelling of The Little Mermaid that steers the tale you know in a whole new funky direction | An ambitious teen mermaid must venture beyond her guarded underwater city and brave the polluted, climate-ravaged wilds of the Indian Ocean, in order to find her human soulmate and forge a better future for her people. *** The city of Calliathron is the epitome of modern sea life--contained within a glorious coral atoll in the Indian Ocean. Yet, the ripples of the changing world beyond seep in with increasing force, bleaching color and darkening minds--but not Dea Rhodoreef's mind. That day, all Dea could think about was swimming her sea cow to the seagrass meadows. Who said life's easy for a high school teen? Even more so when one is a pastel goth gamer mermaid trying to scrape by in a modest mobile home with a grumpy grandmother, who's always complaining about the "human infestation". Maybe the troubled city-state will embrace a new dawn when merpeople and humans co-exist--a future that Dea is determined to work hard for. Noble causes aside, just getting to see a notorious human is number one on her bucket list. Now, as if school, a part-time job and a looming political career aren't enough, a chonky sea cow has been following her for days. It's time to return him to the wild--not like she'd run into a human. Right? © 2022 Su Vida | Exclusively on Wattpad *** FEATURED @Anime @ScienceFiction + 26 more WC: 105,000 Genres: Sci-Fi (Oceanpunk) x Cli-Fi x Adventure x Romance x Retelling This tale comes with mammalian mermaids who breathe air.

Instead, he has all the skill of some second-rate, street-corner trickster.

For them, spells, princes, and kingdoms are nothing but children's stories. Reality is the relentless plague unleashing death and darkness in the city.
