On the shores of western Ireland, in a drab town - a young, day-dreaming waitress hides her scars. Chained to a life of caring for an alcoholic and abusive father, twenty-year-old Clara paints herself pretty lies of days when things might just get better. But, they don't...they get exponentially worse. Death. Her death. After a run in with a senile old man who foreshadows her death, Clara is faced with her greatest reality check yet. The Faerie are real. The monsters that drove her father to drink are real. Tír na nÔg is no bedtime story, it's her purgatory. Alive and lost in the unveiled and dangerous Fae world, Clara comes face-to-face with the Spirit of the Wild - Naisi, a crownless King broken by a shadow that's corrupting the Seelie reality. With the balance of nature upturned it's not only the Fae who are at risk. As above so below. And Clara must fight every prejudice to save a life, and in doing so she might just find her reason for living. ***************** Inspired by my fanfiction series of the same title. This is a re-telling based on the origins of 'To Live Again' and my love of fairytales - especially Beauty & the Beast and Irish folklore. For original fans of my fan work I can assure that there will be both familiar faces but entirely uncharted worlds. It's definitely not the same story but the characters are a little flicker of their origins. ***Beautiful Cover Design by the lovely @Stars_Alight*** Copyright 2020

Vampires. Fey. Love. War. Sometimes you find your soulmate at exactly the wrong time... The Council of Swords, the Comhairle-Chlaidheamhan had protected supernatural kind for generations, fighting humans who would kill through fear, as well other, darker creatures who would oppress those weaker than themselves. However, the Council's enemies were growing stronger and the numbers of warriors left to protect the ordinary people were thinning. As the list of fallen warriors grew, times were becoming desperate for the Council's soldiers and those they protect. The supernatural community were in desperate need of more warriors, more ghaisgich, but only the strongest pass the trials to claim such an important position. Tor had only ever wanted to be a warrior, to defend his people from those who would destroy them through fear or malice. Becoming a ghaisgeach of the Comhairle-Chlaidheamhan was not an easy task though. It meant going against the wishes of his family. It meant being willing to sacrifice himself because it was his duty to do so. It meant putting his trust in strangers, and none were stranger than the woman that Tancred, the ghaisgeach Chief, wanted to partner him with... Deothas didn't need a partner. She didn't need to follow the rules and she certainly wasn't about to put her faith in anyone else. Why should she, when her 'brothers' and 'sisters' of the Comhairle-Chlaidheamhan didn't have faith in her? She was a loner, by choice and because she was the last of her people in the mortal realm. She was the fey-born, the only non-bhampair warrior in the Council of Swords. She was a mistake. They didn't want her and she'd taken all she needed from them already. Why would she want to babysit a new recruit? The council needs it's warriors to work together... even those who stole their positions. Unfortunately for some, both trust and love are far more terrifying prospects than war.

I, Gianna August, have been abducted by Alien's. Not sure if its a good or bad thing yet. All I know is that I have to marry a stranger and have his kids. This stupid law set up by the government is that as soon as we are of age, we have to do a sacred ceremony. We only have to do it because all of the supernatural creatures needed to find their mates. Apparently it is now common for a supernatural being to mate with a human so we all have to do the blood testing ceremony. I am the forth human to be selected by an Alien. The first one was a woman named Clarissa. She killed herself shortly after the ceremony. The second was a man named James that no one ever heard from again. The second woman May, same thing with James. I don't know how it will be for me. I just hope it's not bad.

"They call her the Queen in the North. And They say she's as wild as a she wolf, with vengeance on her lips" Elonar Stark the third born child of Lord Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully, was just that wild, vengeful and beautiful. After the death of her father she flees Kingslanding in search of her mother and brother Robb, only to find them dead at the twins. Naive and alone El finds herself in a whirlwind of men seemingly desperate to help restore the Stark dynasty to its former grandeur. Her naivety and honour blinds her to the reality of power grabbing notions of men with more experience than El could ever dream of. El finds who is truly loyal to her but still needs a marriage to ensure her power, but can she trust the man she is beginning to love? Or can she live the man she's always trusted? Power, love, lust and a rather gripping storyline. Set amongst the game of thrones we all know and love. Rated very highly, and I promise the story improves at it goes on. I started this fanfiction more than 3 years ago so it's a word in progress and it evolves as my writing does. *not my characters events or places. All copyright goes to George R R Martin and HBO © * no copyright intended. Aside from El and Axel really, they're entirely mine.
