𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗔𝗩𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗘 · 23x FEATURED · A gothic fairytale based on the Black Prince from Sri Lankan folklore | SAMPLE CHAPTERS ONLY ATM. BECAUSE QUERYING. A teen ghosthunter must defeat the alluring demon Black Prince in order to save her haunted city. *** The Great Haunting was just a historical plague. The alluring demon Black Prince wasn't real. It was the disease that drove the unfortunate maidens to insanity--a tragedy compounded by natural disasters that claimed many lives. Cityfolk with sense know that. Binara knows better. For those acquainted with her, Binara is just a teen spending school break in her ancestral estate with a strict governess, a workaholic mother and an ailing great uncle. Only her missing sister knew of her ability to detect ghost essence and the mysterious dark matter the city is using as a power source. Armed with science, Binara is confident that she's a better ghosthunter than the city's shadowy ghostbusting agency. When history repeats itself with increasing incidents of missing girls and hauntings, Binara blames the demon prince for the disappearance of her sister. It's time to fight back before darkness takes over her home. What better way than to set a trap for none other than the Black Prince? © 2022 Su Vida | Exclusively on Wattpad *** FEATURED @Fantasy @Mystery + 22 more BOOK 1 of the Black Avatare series Genres: Dark Sci-Fi Fantasy (Gothpunk) x Paranormal Romance x Supernatural Horror x Mystery This is a ghost story set in a tropical gothpunk city.

Woodpecker says the end of the world is coming, there's a dead body on a bed, an empty field in Somerset is somehow connected to a secret government project, and Samantha Brock is the only one that can discover the truth of what is happening and stop it, but then that isn't really the point. In the days following the death of her mother, Samantha (Sam) Brock goes walking in the woods. She is visited by a woodpecker who, speaking in her mother's voice, prophesises the end of the world. She tells Sam that she must discover the truth behind what is happening and prevent it. The impending "death of everything" acts as a backdrop to the personal grief experienced by the central character, and the three minor characters of the novel. Each is mourning in their own way, and each is unknowingly important to unlocking the secret of what is causing the sky to turn green and snow to fall in June. Ben Erwin is Sam's recently ex-husband and a journalist chasing a story about a mysterious government project, Stuart Levitsky is a prime number obsessed mathematics prodigy, and DCI John Geering is a detective investigating the discovery of a dead body in a forensically clean flat in London. With the help of Woodpecker, who appears several times to deliver important information to Sam, their stories cross and finally collide. As the emerald-coloured apocalypse approaches they are catapulted towards a dramatic ending with equally dramatic conclusions. I hope you like the story and find time to vote and comment - love hearing your thoughts.

[PREVIEW ONLY] If killing a superhero were easy, everyone would do it. But for Julian Godfrey, defeating Storm Warning was far from the hardest part. What began as victory over the city's biggest hero quickly unravels into a mess, once he learns that the mysterious source of Storm Warning's power has found a new host. Charlotte Hathaway has no idea how to use her new abilities, but she won't stop trying until she destroys Julian's alter ego, Citadel. Julian should have taken her new powers from her when he had the chance, but he let her go in favor of a new plan: training her for a real fight. It's the only way to prove he didn't get lucky when he killed Storm Warning, and show the city--and the other villains--that he's a force to be reckoned with. Getting close to Charlotte comes with far more than Julian bargained for. She's the perfect hero. Determined, confident, and selfless above all else. She's even nice to him, of all people. But if Julian doesn't follow through with his plan despite his growing feelings for her, he has another force to reckon with: Blazar, the villain who raised him and taught him to use his powers. It seems that no matter what choice Julian makes, he's going to lose. And it's not just his life in danger. With its biggest hero gone, the fate of the city of New Atlas hangs in the balance. *ANTIHEROES GALORE Badass Author Feature*
