***Amby Awards Top Pick for Young Adult 2023*** ***Featured on Stories Undiscovered for September 2023*** *** 1st place Literary Book Award from @Kiannawrites01 October 2023*** She was meant to ascend to greatness. Instead, they buried her alive. Solace Partridge was destined to become the youngest Imperial Librarian in Sanfelton's storied history-until jealous rivals framed her, stripped her title, and exiled her to a prison island. Alone, disgraced, and forgotten, she swore revenge. But fate has other plans-and so does her enemy. Xīwàng, the Tavla of Beltrit, her country's enemy, rescues her from a fate worse than death, offering her a dangerous bargain: disguise herself as a male Calashan noble and spy for him in the very empire that betrayed her. In exchange, she must play the part of his devoted fiancée and help him escape the golden cage of his godhood. To survive, Solace becomes Kaashif Rathe. To win, she must bury her heart. But the longer she plays the Tavla's Frelan, Beltrit's title for his fiancée, the harder it becomes to tell where the lies end and something real begins. Xīwàng is too kind, too clever, too... broken. And beneath her mask, Solace is no longer sure if her vengeance can survive his touch. In a world of sacred rites and political games, love is the most dangerous deception of all. #2 in genderbender on 4/7/2023

(New chapters uploaded weekly!) They live their lives following the lore and its rules bestowed from the Ancients, but with the written ominous signs coming to fruition, predicting an imminent intergalactic war between the magical worlds, the enchanted world of Ossaria gets desperate, desperate enough to even venture out for assistance from planet Earth. With the fate of the worlds (including Earth) laying on the balance of a single thread, an arrangement is made with the global leaders on Earth, to send kids from all parts of the world to Ossaria to prepare them for this upcoming, much dreaded war. But only the kids with the most special qualities will qualify. The Initiation test has been much evident of that. And the laws of magic have been put in place for a reason. Imbue an ineligible with the initiation spell will prove disastrous; Where instead of unlocking their potential magical powers, they become cursed. Kai Burner is a ten year old kid with saviour complexes, born and raised in a broken family. During the time he is emplaced into an orphanage after a string of unfortunate events, he begins to exhibit special powers. The lore however, states that there is no such thing as magic on Earth. Join Kai along with his new companions from all over the world, as they embark on this adrenaline thumping, jam packed, arduous journey, marvelling the new magical worlds, unbeknownst to them what lies ahead, as they learn how to control their newfound powers in pursuit of adventure, longing, identity and eternal, inter-worldly glory. MATURE Rating - Content with mentions of drug use, death, human trafficking, Kim Kardashian's bum. Writers input - If you, as I (someone who lives and breathes online games and their lore), love MMORPGs, Anime, or rich bonds between brethren within a Guild/Brotherhood, or simply all things Fantasy.. Then I think you'll be in for a treat.
