[WATTYS 2026 SHORTLIST | ONC 2025 SHORTLISTED | FANTASY AMBASSADOR'S PICK, JUNE 2026] An amnesiac goddess must rewrite her destiny before the evil reaper strikes out her existence. ••• 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙖 𝙙𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙩. When Ira wakes up in the corner of a dusty room with nothing but glowing rectangles around and no memory of her past, not even her name, she is convinced she has been kidnapped. But it is far from the truth. She isn't kidnapped; she is a new addition to Histoire, another lost character discarded by an author, waiting to be devoured by a vengeful reaper like countless others. Amd the same reaper of Histoire is now threatening to erase Ira forever. Rayer, the hundred-year-old caretaker of Histoire, asks her to drop it and accept her doom because nobody to date has been able to remember their story and rewrite their fates. But Ira isn't someone who would easily back out. Determined not to be forgotten, Ira must unearth the lost pieces of her story and sew them into one before the reaper devours her existence. But as she delves deeper, Ira begins to question her identity and purpose, realising she is more than just a character. WC: 52,000+ CC: Inky

Lydia never thought much of sage or spirits, until the night Jade sent her a voice memo: "Something feels wrong in the house. Heavy. Can you bring that sage stuff you always use?" What Lydia finds is far worse than bad energy. People start forgetting things. Shadows don't stay where they should. And Jade... Jade isn't always Jade anymore. As reality begins to crack and disappear, Lydia must face the unthinkable: what if the thing haunting her loved ones doesn't want to hurt them... but replace them? Look too long, and you'll lose your mind. A psychological horror about identity, grief, and the monsters that wear your face. ©AudreyAntonia; Nothing may be used elsewhere without my written permission. I own the copyright at all times.

The river is a god. The god is hungry. For fifteen years, Osogó has carried its dead. He is the ferryman---the silent man who rows bodies across the water in the dark and asks the living nothing. He walked into the river once, to drown. It refused him. He has never learned why. So when a warlord's wife steps onto his jetty with a fistful of gold and a destination she will not say, he expects only another crossing. He does not expect the girl folded into the bottom of his canoe: eleven years old, a scar on her shoulder, a mouth that will not close, and more of this war already behind her than most men live to see. She tells him his boat smells of dead fish. She asks the questions no one can answer. And against everything he has made himself into, she is impossible to ignore. In a drowning country where the water takes whole villages and the war runs on children, a man who buried his soul at the bottom of the river is about to learn what it costs to come back up.

SHORTLISTED WATTYS 2026 | No one knew Liam was leaving. Not even himself. After seeing something he can't ignore - and realising no one is going to do anything about it - Liam walks out of his boarding school in the middle of the night. He doesn't tell anyone. He doesn't have a plan. He just knows he has to get away. He disappears into the city, trying to put distance between himself and everything that happened. But distance isn't always enough. The further he goes, the harder it becomes to keep certain things buried - memories of school, of silence, and of someone he can't quite understand. And soon he begins to realise that what he's running from might not be something he can leave behind at all. Because sometimes leaving doesn't solve anything. And some things stay with you, no matter how far you go.

{FIRST BOOK IN 'THE GIRL IN THE HOODIE' SERIES} {2014-2018} A girl moved to California two years ago. No one knows what she looks like. All they know is that she wears a hoodie. *~*~*~* "HOLY SHIT, NOAH! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LET THE TROLLEY GO?! COME BACK! OH MY FUCKING LIFE, FIZZY DRINKS UP AHEAD--" BANG FIZZ POP "...am I dead?" I'm suddenly grabbed by the back of my hoodie and pulled up from the ground and out of the mess of the opened bottles of fizzy which had exploded when the trolley and I crashed into them. My hands instantly go to my hood and I sigh in relief to find that it hadn't fallen off through all of that. I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?" I smile sheepishly. *~* {HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Funny #1 in Sad And #1 in Cancer apparently }

Edmund comes to the remote village of Black Thickett to escape the life grief has carved out of him. He wants silence. Distance. A place where memories can't follow. But Black Thickett is wrong in quiet, unsettling ways. The broken road becomes perfectly smooth the moment he crosses the boundary. The cottages are too neat, too deliberate. And on a noticeboard full of dry flyers, only one poster is wet. A missing boy, smiling as if he doesn't know he's lost. The villagers won't talk about the disappearances. The forest at the edge of the village seems to breathe, and the deeper Edmund goes, the calmer he feels... dangerously calm. The forest can quiet his pain. It can ease his grief. It can make him forget. But not everything that heals you wants you to survive.

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
