When a knight-in-training sets out on a dragonquest to win the hand of a fair princess, he expects to return in time for a pavilion wedding in the fall. But after fifty years of tracking his quarry across godforsaken hinterlands, he is starting to wonder if he has the stamina to finish the job.

The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.

A BOY. A CAT. A NIGHTMARE IN TWO WORLDS! (A Wattpad FEATURED Story) * *Voted 'TOP 100 Children's Books to Read in a Lifetime' by GOODREADS.COM users!** ***Raves from The Guardian (UK), KIRKUS, Midwest Book Reviews, AMAZON, and more!!!*** In the sleepy town of Appleton, a young loner follows a stray cat onto the road and is struck by a car. A leg is shattered, a summer is ruined, and the troubled life of Billy Brahm goes from bad...to cursed. When the mysterious cat appears at his bedside, Billy is haunted by strange and prophetic dreams; the creatures within them speak of Watchers and Shadows...and the Enemy that Awakens. Does this impossible realm hold the key to healing his broken body? Is the golden-eyed cat there to help the boy, or to make the nightmares come true? Too frightened to share the truth with his strict adoptive parents, Billy realizes that the only ones he can turn to are the local vet's daughter, the town's 'crazy cat lady'... ...and a mystical tiger, beckoning from his dreams. --- AUTHOR'S NOTE This is the first volume in THE SHADOWLAND SAGA -- a powerful and personal epic, intended to make you think, and feel, and Dream.

A guide to types of reviews and especially how you may react to them. Ever wondered why you have so many reads but so little votes? Or have you ever thought about why you don't receive comments for your books and are wondering if those comments are genuine or not? Welcome, you've come to the right place! {I know. This introduction was cheesy as hell but please open the book or continue moving on;) } These are things people have talked about and things I've experienced and noticed among writers and reviewers. Some of what is here can answer your questions as to why you receive certain reviews. . . and this may be a rant book for some? Anyways, this contains some facts about reviewers and those who receive reviews (mostly bad or negative reviews)

People will tell you writing is hard. That's a load of crap. Anyone with a pencil can scrawl a line of graphite across a page and call themselves a writer. Does that mean anyone can be an author? No. Only people who are willing to sacrifice their time and energy will cross the line that transforms an adjective (writing) into a noun (author). What's so effing hard about it? Joining one word to the next in such a way that it draws the reader through your story, evokes their primal emotions, and leaves them satisfied is a process not unlike walking on freshly scattered Legos. The necessary skill takes practice, time, effort, persistence, and a set of standards that reaches beyond the scope of your average layperson. The effort shakes your ego like a dog with a chew toy. It's the curse and the glory of the writer. In the beginning, every story is bad and stupid and the first part of improving it is recognizing how far you still have to go. That's the deepest, darkest secret to nailing down this writing stuff: knowing when it sucks, and sticking with it until it doesn't. Will you find solutions within these pages? No. I am not a brilliant author who can give you a step-by-step plan to improve your skill, but if you want to learn to write with competence and you're trying to figure out how to start I can set you on the path. I know this because I'm on it too. I know it's the right one because my standards are growing faster than my skill. Step inside for a very candid, very blunt look at becoming a better writer, and I promise you, I virtually guarantee, that you will improve at least a little, and all you have to do is invest the time it takes to consider my words and intelligently apply them.

There is nothing worse for a pirate than dying on dry land. Except, maybe, swinging two feet above it. When their captain is imprisoned, facing the gallows, the men and women of the Lady Lesya's crew will try everything to break him out--even if it means fighting guards in ridiculous uniforms, bargaining with overweight monsters, and risking the life of the more or less innocent. Add vengeful local thugs, a mysterious killer with a grudge, and some unexpected ghosts to this already perilous task, and the streets of Puerto Seguro turn into a bloodbath. To get out of the town alive, the brethren of the coast will have to act not just as a crew, but as a family. ___________________ As it's a pirate story not created by Disney, expect strong language, violence, gore, and allusion to sex. But also humor, strong characters, and a touch of love. The story, three years and a half in the making, is now complete (and under revision). ____________________ Magnificent cover by @Tweeter109 Awesome headers by @FayLane

Ez pedig egy életre garantálta balszerencséjét. A parasztlány, Meya Hild számára megadatott a lehetőség, hogy egész életét hölgyként tölthesse... miközben épp egy kard szegeződött rá. Zsoldosok támadták meg. Eljegyezte egy haldokló főnemes. Megmérgezték, és mindössze egy hónapja maradt életéből. Azt a feladatot rótták rá, hogy kifosszon egy kastélyt. Egy olyan királyságban, amely épp kifogyni készült az ellátmányaiból. Meya még csak nem is sejtette, hogy trükkje országokon és tengereken vezeti majd át, egy zafírból épült hegytől egészen egy szigetig, amin felhők ezüst spiráljai ágaznak szét, álarcosbálokkal, fosztogatással, emberrablással, bérgyilkosokkal, hajótörésekkel, alkímiával, irodalomórákkal, szerelemmel és egy váratlan "bukkanóval" útja során. Kezdődhet a szenvedés. 🥇1st - Fantasy : Cosmic Rose Awards 2020 🥈2nd - Adventure : Moonstone Awards 2020 🥈2nd - Fantasy : Coalition Awards 2020 (Inkitt) Borítókép: © MaMORI (IG: @mamori.art) Eredeti mű: © Jeidafei Fordítás: Daniel di Angelo A fordítás egy ingyenes rajongói verzió, amelyről előzetesen konzultáltunk az eredeti szerzővel.
