[Book 1 and 2 COMPLETE] Straight-A student Jane Huang cares only about acing her classes and graduating college... until a terrifying encounter with an otherworldly monster plunges her into the mysterious world of Mir. To return to the home she loves, Jane must become an 'avtorka' -- one with the gods-given power to write in Mir's Book of Truths and change reality. A brutal series of tests awaits her, each designed by the gods to target her weaknesses and shatter her resolve. Helping her train for her godstests is Nikolay, a ruthless battlemage whose Oath to protect his dying ruler is slowly killing him. Nikolay needs Jane to break his Oath -- or so Jane thinks -- and despite their mutual enmity, she agrees to help him. But as Jane endures her godstests, she is drawn into a web of magic, mystery, and deceit that forces her to question Nikolay's motives, the godstests, and the very nature of reality itself. ***Earnesty Writing Award Fantasy Winner!*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdMY61yxdPg **First Place in the Punk Rock Awards, 2022, Action/Adventure** **First Place in the Dream Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Golden Awards, Adventure** **First Place in the Mono Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Shimmer Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Sunshine Awards 2020, Adventure** **Second Place in the Paper Awards 2020, Adventure** **Second Place in the First Impressions Award (SUAW) 2020** **Third Place in the Golden Awards 2020, Fantasy** **Third Place in the Noble Awards 2020, Action/Adventure** **Third Place in the Imperial Awards 2020, Adventure**

For months Summer is trapped in a cellar with the man who took her - and three other girls: Rose, Poppy, and Violet. His perfect, pure flowers. His family. But flowers can't survive long cut off from the sun, and time is running out...

Elusia Vale is the most fabulous adventurer, swordswoman, thief, and lover to ever grace Ishara, and she is always the first to say so. Her life has been filled with excitement and reckless abandon, but how long can she outrun the tempests she leaves in her wake? Just a girl when her father was sealed away in an untouchable realm, Lulu has devoted her life to finding a way to bring him back. Her obsession has taken her across the stars, journeying to every known world of Ishara with her best friend, Idelle, at her side. Never ones to pass up the opportunity for trouble, they have made a life out of journeying across the realms, using their skills to help those in need or, in Lulu's case, using stories of their adventures to woo beautiful women. Her quest has seen countless failures, but a new lead, an ancient relic known as the Compass of Nine, promises to reignite her hope. Yet, it is at that very moment when she is drawn into a conflict by her hated cousin, Orianna, a woman called Savior by The Path of Light. The upstart religion has gained a strong foothold within the world of Andavaran, an endlessly painful thorn in Lulu's side. When Orianna asks for her help to stop a sorceress of unfathomable power, Lulu must set aside her hatred to aid both her cousin and a city on the verge of religious civil war, all the while working with The Path, the very people she blames for her father's fate. Together with Idelle, Orianna, and a host of friends, Lulu must face her past and learn, sometimes, the Path you walk isn't always the one you choose. Enter the worlds of Ishara in Book One of The Broken Song Series. Updates will be every Friday at 6:00 pm EST. Thank you for reading, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!!!

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.

[MOVED TO PATREON] It's not supposed to snow in the South Forest, but the weather in the second-emptiest corner of Shelha is not the only thing behaving strangely. When an ex-tyrant started acting up again, Sethral had hoped it meant the end of lazy days and monotonous, lengthening winters. She is starting to regret what she wished for. Winter the Mountainair has settled in the south, forfeiting her migratory habits and taking a renewed interest in a lifestyle she dropped years ago. Just why is a mystery, but then again, most things about her are. It takes a handful of new friends for Sethral to realize there are still creatures who know who Winter used to be. It takes Winter's reaction to their friendship to realize the tyrant would rather those creatures disappear. Now the peace of the forest may rest on finding those who can help reassemble the world's past and Winter's... before Winter finds them herself. ❖❖❖ Book I of the Stories of Shelha series, a work only split into books because nobody picks up an epic on Wattpad ;) Comments and critiques are welcome.
