Íse is a seer, who sees death before ot strikes. She foresees the execution of Silken Thomas Fitzgerald, along with five other men, one of whom she feels her heart would shatter if he were to die the death she has foreseen. But prophecies can be prevented and there is nothing she would not do to save the man in her visions from this brutal end. When the young chieftain Dermod Ó Sullivan Beare arrives in Cairbre, he proves a welcome distraction from her awful nightly visions of foresight and yet she feels she must resist him out of loyalty to a man she has never met... Íse begins to choose a different path, perhaps a different man but then she is captured. She finds herself a prisoner of James Fitzgerald, her father's greatest enemy. Prophecy and the man from her visions await, and while Walter Fitzgerald becomes her rescuer, it is only she who can save him from the death she has foreseen. A sweeping historical romance with fantasy elements set in 1533 in Tudor Ireland during the Silken Thomas Rebellion.

☕︎ Welcome to Coffee & Chapters Contests A cozy little café built for hidden gems, growing writers, emotionally damaging stories, and chapters written at 2 AM instead of sleeping like a normal human bean. Wattpad's algorithm can be cruel sometimes, and many beautiful stories never get the attention they deserve. This book exists to create a small space where writers can share their work, discover new stories, support one another, and maybe find readers who stay till the end. From blurbs, opening lines, aesthetics, and dialogue to plots, characters, and drafts still hiding in your notes app, different themed contests will be hosted here from time to time, each with its own little spotlight. ──── ୨୧ ──── ☕︎ Current Contest Contest #1: The First Sip Best Blurb • Best Opening Line • Best Chapter One Status: Submissions CLOSED.

We follow our hero who has had enough of the villains. But he'll have to free one area at a time. (Know that I'm doing the whole irl locations thing to the best of my ability.

Malaina Chastain has her life perfectly planned. Pre-vet track, 4.0 GPA, complete STEM requirements. And absolutely, positively, no distractions-especially not football players. But when she's assigned to tutor running back Choi Seo Joon in organic chemistry, her carefully controlled world starts to unravel. He's patient where others are pushy. Thoughtful where others are thoughtless. And he looks at her like she's more than just the perfect student everyone expects her to be. There's just one problem: she's supposed to be getting back together with her ex, Cooper - the safe choice, the expected choice, the one her family and friends have already planned her future around. Between debutante ball practices with the wrong guy, stolen moments with the right one, and a viral video that exposes feelings she's been trying to deny, Malaina has to decide: keep being perfect, or start being happy.

It's falling for the right one. ✨ A clean slow-burn college romance about finding yourself, defying expectations, and discovering that home isn't a place-it's a person. ✨ Updates paused until Friday 7/30/2026, thanks for your patience while I deal with a personal matter.
