❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first Chosen One ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021

Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship.

{Original Story} Vidya Khan is an anomaly. Her powers manifest when she's seventeen -- that's unnaturally late. Things get even weirder when Celestro, the enigmatic company responsible for all things super, offers her a spot on their elite hero team. Saving the world is complicated, and Vidya is struggling to keep up. The Marvels are not the same smiling, golden heroes they are in the media, and getting along with them is actually harder than fighting the villains. And as if that isn't bad enough, supers are turning up dead, and no one knows who to suspect... Because if Vidya has learned anything, it's that anyone can be the bad guy.

The bookish Gemma Yang gets her shot at finding true love when novice faerie Jun is assigned to her case by the God of Marriage. All Jun has to do is one simple thing - tie the invisible red string of fate to the wrist of Gemma and her designated soulmate, the popular Hayden Chung, and let destiny work its magic.

To make matters worse, Ryu ends up being knocked down by a reckless driver outside the university campus minutes later - and dies.

Elzem Akay'ın sıradan ama güzel bir hayatı vardı. En iyi okullarda okumuş, en güzel oyuncaklara ve kıyafetlere sahip olmuştu. En değerli mücevherler daima onun boynunu süslemiştir. Lüks içinde yaşarken hayatta istediği her şeye kolayca sahip olmuştu. Üzerine titreyen iki abisi, onu hep güldüren kız kardeşi, iyi bir yengesi ve onu sürekli çıldırtan bir hizmetçisi varken hayat ona karşı fazlasıyla cömertti. Tüm bunları ne bozabilirdi ki? Bir gece korkunç bir ritüele kurban edildiğinde gözlerini bambaşka bir dünyada açar. Orta Çağın hiyerarşisinin içinde kalmışken eve dönmek hiç kolay değildi. Kendi dünyasında bir öğretmenken Ölümsüzlerin akademisinde bir hizmetçi olunca, sınıf farkının acımasız gerçekleriyle yüzleşir. Burası onun dünyası değildi, burası barbarların hüküm sürdüğü Araftı ve o, hayatta kalmak istiyorsa lüks alışkanlıklarından ödün vermeyi öğrenmeliydi. *** "Medeniyet yoksunu, vahşi barbar!" diye ona sesimi yükselttiğimde çatılan kaşları umurumda bile değildi. Tüm gün kuyudan su çeken o değildi. "Şu sivri dilin bir gün başına bela olacak." Sert bakışlarla beni uyardıktan sonra merdiveni işaret etti. "Kahyadan fırça yemek istemiyorsan işinin başına dön." "O kadın bir cadı." Ondan bahsederken bile tiksintiyle yüzümü buruşturdum. "Bence benden nefret ediyor." "Hayret." Kaşları alayla yukarı kalktı. "Oysaki çok sevilesi bir kadınsın." İğneleyici sesiyle ters ters ona baktım. "Sizde öyle Savcı Bey," dedim oyunbaz bir ifadeyle. "Sizi görenlerin yüzünde güller açıyor." "Bunu inanarak söylemiyorsun." "Tabii ki inanarak söylemiyorum." Gülerek bana ikinci kez merdiveni işaret etti. "İşinin başına dön aksi taktirde yarın seni sınıfıma almam. Bir hizmetçiye ders verdiğim için yeterince sorun yaşıyorum." Bu vahşiler kendi dünyamda ne kadar zengin ve asil olduğumu anlamak istemiyordu.

"Acıdan geçemeyen kadının, acısı bitemeyen adamla; kırık dökük sevdası." Kendini bilmez bir gecede, ay tamda göğün bağrında uyuklarken başladı her şey. Kader; dizleri yaralı bir kızı, dudakları kan kokulu bir adamın koynuna sardı. Yitirdiği hafızasının ardından, hiç bilmediği bir adamın elini tuttu. Geçmişi hatırlamaya çaba gösterdiği her an kendiyle ilgili bilinmezlere daldı. Adam her an köşe başındaydı, soluğundaydı ve ne parmağındaki yüzük, ne de hatırlamadığı geçmiş bu ihtirasa mani olamadı. Oysa ki şeytanın ini, adamın köşesi kıvrılmış zihniydi. Kadın adamın cehennemiydi; saf ateşin koynu, zemheri kışın soluğu.
