*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.

[BOOK ONE OF THE RIVALRY SERIES] ✨ • • • The kingdom of Asten is hosting the event of the century: IMPRESS, a deadly competition where six girls vie to captivate the dark and bloodthirsty prince. The prize? The crown of Asten and rule over its five regions-Agriassi, Iclia, Miriadan, Weimos, and the glittering capital, Aeralin. But failure isn't an option-because for the losers, death awaits. For Natalya Andrea Ascelyn, life has already been cruel. After living in poverty and losing her parents in a devastating village fire, she's forced to endure the torment of her spiteful Aunt Roslin. A glimmer of hope appears when her brother, a trusted guard of the prince, invites her to the royal castle. But Natalya's new life takes a treacherous turn when she's thrust into the IMPRESS event. While others compete for the prince's favour, Natalya's true mission is revenge. Determined to uncover who destroyed her family, she navigates a cutthroat world of dazzling banquets and shadowy conspiracies. Each trial pushes her to grow stronger, more cunning, and dangerously alluring. But the competition is more than she bargained for, filled with war, forbidden desires, blood-soaked betrayals, and the awakening of her mysterious abilities. She also learns that her enemies might be closer than she imagined. As alliances crumble and secrets surface, Natalya must decide how far she's willing to go for vengeance, and only one question remains: Will she survive the prince's deadly game long enough to find the perpetrator? One crown. Six girls. Only one will win-but will Natalya's thirst for revenge cost her everything? This story includes twisted violence, strong language and sexual content.

The bell to my grandfathers old shop rang and I looked up from my magazine, "Welcome to Sugar Suga- whoa what happened to your face?" A dark haired man in worn black jeans spat on my perfectly polished cotton candy floor. "shut up and let me use the back room." I shrugged, staring at the light purple tile he spat on, "Kay but was there really a need to spit on my floor? this is a candy shop you know. Cant have bloody spit in the chocolate." If looks could kill I would be melted into a rainbow puddle. He jumped behind the counter and stormed into the back room, "tell anyone here and I'll fucking kill you." I snorted, "what are you going to do gag me with your lolly pop?" He froze in the doorway for a moment before slamming the door behind him. What a fun guy. I looked up at the bell ringing again, "Hello! welcome to Sugar-Sugar my names Lola and I'll be happy to make any non sexual sweet dreams come true!" I love when there are no kids in the store and I can ad-lib the greeting A group of crude looking men stared at me for a long moment, "have you seen a beaten up pretty boy around here?" I pointed out the door, "pretty sure I saw him pass by, why?"

FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?
