Lore has built up over the ages about creatures that live in the ocean, creatures of startling beauty, with the upper body of women, and the tails of fish. But what if these creatures were different from what we thought they were? What would happen when one of them needs help? Seeking out the aid of a teenage boy, who is more involved in their world than he knows. When Alex wakes up in the hospital, ranting about a girl and water, he is assured that his hallucinations were a side effect to almost drowning, and he was unconscious for nearly two days. He is released from the hospital, and life seems like it should return to normal...but he's still haunted by his "hallucinations" He still knows what he saw was real. He saw a shadow at the water's edge.

There was a time when the king of the human world raged war between humans and dragonkind, forcing their rulers to seal the portal between both worlds and leave the one thing they loved above all else behind. Now, in a land full of turmoil, one huntress learns of her bloodline and how she alone has the ability to harness her dragon's power and save both lands. Will she be able to free the human citizens from their tyrant leader and save her own people from extinction?

Will be awhile* -3/14/23 *Cover is made by Christina aka Surehuinel from deviantart.com, her work is amazing please check it out http://surehuinel.deviantart.com/

**I tumbled backwards but I felt a pair of arms wrap around my shoulders and pull me up straighter. I turned to the person who caught me. “Tha—,” I started, but when my eyes caught the person’s blue-violet ones, I stopped. “You’re staring, that’s rude,” he leaned forward and smirked, showing two dimples on either side of his cheeks. I blushed and looked away, anywhere but his face. “It’s okay, I mean, be as rude as you want, I’m totally fine with you ogling my face like you were,” he said smoothly. “I wasn’t ogling your face,” I snapped. He raised his eyebrows, “Is that so?” I nodded. “Okay, gorgeous, if that’s what you think." Then he looked to the ground bent down to pick something up. “Well, whadda ya know. Looks, like you should watch your step from now on,” he told me and held up the object the I tripped over. A purple crayon. **Ryder McKinley has been in love with her sister’s boyfriend since she first met him two years ago. And after one amazing, drunken night, Ryder thinks that they’ll finally be together. But he doesn’t. David rejects her saying that he loves her sister and always will. Heartbroken, Ryder doesn’t know what to do. That is, until Bax Carson, David’s friend, comes into the picture. Ryder gets the revenge spark and accepts Bax's offer to help her. She knows he’ll want something in return, so they make a deal; Ryder gets to get revenge on David, and Bax . . . well, Bax gets her Ferrari. They start a fake relationship, to make David jealous, of course. But when she learns more about her ‘boyfriend’, she stops the faking around him and lets down her guard. Ryder McKinley never meant to fall for Bax Carson, but she also didn’t mean to trip over the purple crayon that sent her falling into Bax’s arms for the first time either.

Annabella Jackson was just looking for a fun day at Disneyland with her friend. What she did not expect was finding a magical mirror. She did not expect this mirror to take her to an equally magical world. And she certainly did not expect to get stuck there. How will she find her way back home? That is a very good question. (cover found online, not sure who did that picture, but it was not me. just an fyi. and ignore the wings)

My name is Molly, and I am a walking apocalypse. Death on two legs. Life on the streets of Cheshire makes you hard, but it never prepared me for this. It all started when I stole something, nothing more than a pretty trinket that caught my eye (I didn't say I was honest). Later I find out it's a carrier of black magic. A deadly spell that will end life as we know it. I have days to get it across the world and into the right hands. And only minutes before the men chasing me finally catch up.

Samantha wishes she were someone else. Anastasia, to be exact. Anastasia doesn't sit in the corner and read because she's too shy to talk to anyone. She doesn't keep trying and failing. Anastasia slays dragons. Of course, Anastasia is only a character in Samantha's story. That's what Sam does, she writes. She writes to keep the monsters at bay. She creates new worlds to escape into. And she writes to block out the cranky ramblings of her jilted father, who refuses to acknowledge the woman that ran out on them years ago. But Samantha finds herself thrown into a not so magical adventure when she discovers her long lost mother has been in town all along. She has questions that need answering, and a few arrow- accusations... she'd like to sling. But there are obstacles to storming the castle, her father for one. Either Samantha makes this her happily ever after, or it all ends in tears... Either way, the story is about to change.
