Shortlisted in Muse Awards. "He thought he was the hunter. He didn't know she had nothing left to lose." Trapped within the dark, looming walls of Vaelhorst Palace, Aethelgard is a captive surrounded by enemies. Her survival depends entirely on the mercy of Malakor-a ruthless, hyper-vigilant Dark Lord whose very name strikes terror across the kingdoms. Separated from everything she knows by the treacherous, ink-black waters of The Mourning Tides, escape seems completely impossible. But Malakor underestimates the girl in his shadows. Before sending her to the Dark Lord, the sinister witch known as Pale Marrow ripped away Aethelgard's emotions, leaving her completely hollow. Malakor expects a terrified prisoner, but instead, he faces a mind completely untethered by fear, panic, or mercy. As a dangerous, slow-burn game of wit and proximity unfolds between captive and captor, the lines between hatred and curiosity begin to blur. Aethelgard must use her cold, emotionless clarity to dismantle Malakor's court from the inside-before the magic fades and her feelings come rushing back. A dark fantasy romance filled with royal intrigue, psychological tension, and a toxic power dynamic that will burn down an empire.

Grace Keller built her life on control; it was the only thing keeping everything from falling apart. That is, until Julie Monroe crashed into it like she had no intention of leaving. Loud, impulsive and stubbornly kind, Julie takes no hints and doesn't know when to stop - the kind of person who leaves notes for strangers and brings home things no one else wants. Grace hates everything about her - the way she blasts music in public, the way she inserts herself where she doesn't belong and somehow makes it feel like she does, the way she tells the truth when she really shouldn't. The way her chaos makes Grace's carefully tailored mask crumble and expose the parts of her no one was meant to see. Most of all, she hates how quickly she started needing her. But some secrets aren't meant to be shared. Someone is watching. Someone who knows exactly how far Grace will go to survive - and won't hesitate to push her further. For the first time, though, surviving doesn't feel like enough. Now she's forced to choose: she can keep her secrets; or she can keep Julie. She doesn't get both. ~ Estimated word count: 80k Reached The Original Muse Awards Shortlist

(Updates Twice a Week) When a famous Wattpad creator known as Brent Travis mysteriously goes missing, three teenagers must bound together to uncover the hidden truth--until they realize that sometimes the truth is meant to be unknown. * * * Many different messages from different accounts swarmed from his message board, and in return, no response.

Hermione Granger never knew her parents - but she always knew who she was: a Muggle-born witch, a loyal friend, and a fighter for what's right. But when Voldemort returns and the war begins to stir, long-buried truths come to light - and Hermione learns that she's not who the world thought she was. Thrust into a life of secrecy and lies, Hermione learns to navigate a new world as a double agent with Severus Snape as her reluctant mentor.
