In a world held together by ancient magic, one girl's forbidden power could be the key to everything-or the catalyst for its destruction. Fourteen-year-old Thea Presten has never left her secluded ranch, let alone practiced Alchemy. But beneath Bergen, Norway, in the hidden halls of Blackthorn and Burtree, she's about to discover a gift that defies the very codes of magic. As war looms between the Keeper's Animarum and the Shadow Alchemists, Thea must learn to harness her dangerous abilities in secret. Thrust into a world of Conversion Circles and Alchemical beasts, Thea realizes she's been unknowingly breaking the laws of Alchemy her entire life. As she struggles to keep her powers hidden, she finds unexpected friendship with two fellow Spectrum Scholars. But with the Code Keeper and Code Breaker both potentially interested in her abilities, Thea must decide who-if anyone-she can trust. The Code Keeper has manipulated every aspect of Thea's life, pushing her towards a destiny she never chose. As global battles rage and the Earth itself seems to rebel, Thea's decisions could tip the balance of power. The Shadow Faction's leader would stop at nothing to possess her gift, while the Keeper sees her as the key to saving the world-but at what cost? Will Thea's reckless quest for control over her own life unleash a power that could mend their fractured world-or shatter it beyond repair? ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ This book is a preview of the Amazon exclusive.

One exhausted college student, and one ruined protection spell. What's the worst that could happen? This is my entry for the What in the Wattpad Contest! I might have gotten a bit too into the spirit of the contest, but this was fun! I used the talking pet and demon boyfriend tropes!

Bree Walters, a freelance writer, wakes up in bed with a handsome stranger, only to discover he is the demon prince, Lucxivar, from her half-finished novel. What's even crazier is that this demon keeps calling her by a different name, Lena, the main character in her book. Did she somehow manage to transport herself into her own story? Or did she summon the demon into reality through her vivid imagination? Or is there something more to Lucxivar and the name by which he calls her, with such reverence and devotion? Written for "What in the Wattpad" Writing Contest #WITWContest Prompts used: - Accidentally summoned a demon boyfriend - Woke up in my own story - One bed... and its haunted. Word count: 1,443

Erza wished for a saviour and so shall she get. But in the dark, twists await. Sweet ones.

All Holiday Warren wanted was a rendezvous point untainted by hell. When a tropical storm floods her city of choice, she and her Handler are forced to meet in an ungodly domain-an abandoned mansion near the edge of town with one too many plights. There's only one bed. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆ The mass collection of souls wasn't any easy task. Holiday's former ruler had seen to that. She'd spent the last century purging the world of his wicked presence, reclaiming a small portion of balance where paranormal contests were once staged. So when a routine collection turns into a haunted trap with her Handler, Demetri Vega, the tension could bend a knife. Soaked to the bone and riding the coattails of an ancient argument, they must take up shelter in an abandoned mansion with only one place to rest their heads. A bed that insists one of them won't be leaving alive. Death still had a sick sense of humor. || Contest Entry for What in the Wattpad || || Prompt: One bed... And it's Haunted... ||

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - 2023 Top Pick in Romance.🥇 ♥︎ Ren: I have to admit it... I never got over Giovanni. I thought I had moved on, even married another man. But just when I had my life all neatly put together, it all broke apart. Now, I'm nearly thirty, freshly single, and living back home with my mom in California. Then, as if by fate, Gio walks back into my life, his gaze licking up my body like fire, and Zap! All it takes is one look to feel the intense connection surging between us again... and I know he feels it, too, but whenever my heart leaps forward, he immediately takes two steps back. I give anything to be with him again, but will a man stay with a woman if she can't give him a family? ♥︎ Gio: At seventeen, Lauren captured my heart and soul. I naively believed we were soulmates until she shattered that dream and left New York, detonating a bomb of past trauma and heartbreak that turned my world upside down. My life spiraled into chaos, but since my recent diagnosis, starting therapy, and the right medication, I've finally regained my balance. Then she drops back into my life out of nowhere, primed to fuck all that stability up, and I'm supposed to jump back in where we left off? I don't think so. I'd be foolish to risk it, right? I'm so scared for her to discover what I already know-she wouldn't want the man I am now.
