After the events of Phoenix13: Reincarnation, Jason believes that Kalligan has stolen Rosetta Callista's book of dark rituals in order to open a portal to Àmandin, home of the Amaranthine Gods. In order to stop his former friend from returning the book to Deyanira and jump-starting the apocalypse, Jason sets out on a quest to find the bounty hunter Alexx Sullivan, who Rosetta insists will be able to find Kalligan. There's just one problem: Sullivan is locked up in Carceris Caeci, the most imfamous prison complex in Monterra. Meanwhile, Kalligan takes the final step in his journey of discovery and ascends the dark tower of his most distant, repressed memories. In order to uncover the secrets of his life as an Amaranthine God, he must face all the horrors of his past. But despite his desire to learn everything about himself and the man known as Phoenix13, there are some things hidden in his mind that might have been better left untouched...

***A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY*** "You knew the Thirteenth Phoenix, Zephyr. You were the one who ripped out his heart." The first book in the "Phoenix13" series follows city-boy Kalligan Caelum and rebellious outlaw Jason McKinley in their quest to defeat King Skyler Callista and regain control of the great City of Nathandra. After angering the cruel King of Nathandria, Kalligan Caelum is given a choice: Face exile to the rouge-infested wilderness around Nathandra City, or compete in a shooting competition against Skyler himself. If Kalligan wins the competition, he is promised his freedom. But if he loses, he will pay with his life. Fortunately for Kalligan, there is someone in the Kingdom of Nathandria rumored to be an even better shot than the King. Unfortunately, that person happens to be the exiled ex-Prince Jason McKinley, a dangerous outlaw known for murdering his own father, the former king. But if Kalligan wants to win the competition, then seeking out McKinley and gaining his help is the only way. And then, just when it seems that the worst is over, Kalligan's past memories resurface, revealing dangerous secrets and drawing the attention of a woman with nefarious aspirations and a complicated personal agenda...

"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

❃ AWARD-WINNING PUBLISHED NOVEL ❃ BOOK I OF THE TRANSCENDENCE SERIES ❃ Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved. But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality--her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.

Dylan Tate, a San Francisco native, was perfectly fine with living a carefree lifestyle free from any major responsibilities. One particular day life smacks her upside the head with a greater responsibility than she could have ever bargained for. Will she fail at becoming a grown up or can she rise to the occasion? Layne Bishop, on the other hand, was quite familiar and comfortable with responsibility. She was also already a grown up, something she had to achieve sooner than would usually be necessary. Layne yearned for commitment, love and family -- none of which she had in NYC. Could a trip across the country deliver better fortune? ***Note: I hope you'll give it a chance, but you may not want to read this if intimacy between those belonging to the same gender is not your cup of tea :-) If you do choose to read on, if you'd be so kind please share your thoughts with me.

Published Book - Only a Preview [Gay Romance] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first time in my life I was safe. It was a word I'd never been able to use before, and it felt heavy on my tongue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lakyn James is sixteen years old and hating every second of it. He was supposed to be done, he'd tapped out. End of story, unsubscribe here. Suicide "attempt", they said. His intentions had no "attempt" in them. Re-entering normal life after 'trying' to take his own is weird. Especially when the world keeps going like it never happened. He still has to eat breakfast, go to school, and somehow convince a cute boy that he's too damaged to date. Scott White comes with his own problems, namely a habit of drinking too much and being indecisive about rather he wants in the closet, or out of it. Lakyn can't stand him; he also can't help smiling when Scott's around. Unfortunately - or fortunately - for Lakyn, life has decided to give him a second chance. He's not happy about it, but maybe, with a lot of hard work and a good therapist, he can learn to be. And maybe he can hold Scott's hand at the same time. No promises though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is the prequel to Just Juliet, and thus can stand alone.
