Volume One of The Fury Triad England, 1811. As fashionable Society streams toward London for the start of a new social season, they are unaware of a hidden magical England existing alongside. The Magi cathedrals are temples to the old gods. Reigning on their throne is not poor mad George, but the ailing King Pellinore of the House of Pendragon. But their wars are no less deadly. The Furys are known for their extraordinary music, their powerful magic, and their historic role as kingmakers. But the Furys have their secrets as well, none so dangerous as the daughter whose Shadow magic spills from her, unchecked. Unless her powers are concealed, she's not only ruined in Society, but marked as a target for those who would use and abuse her magic. Persephone Fury is the Dark daughter, the one they hide. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and a good marriage for this frightening daughter is desperately needed. On the night of her debut, her world comes crumbling down around her when she is abducted from the man she loves by the man she most loathes. Evil powers circle, calling her to the destiny foretold at the moment of her birth, drawing her to the source of her power, to the one place she can finally be free. By embracing the Shadows. Persephone is ruthless, devious, and clever, but when confronted with the truth, she must make horrifying choices. Can she defy destiny and seize her own fate?

The tale of Persephone is well known throughout Greek Mythology, however, the real tale hidden beneath the myth of a Goddess stolen away from her mother is that of Alena Cali - the Cursed Siren. Forever cursed to lure sailors to their deaths with their beautiful voices, Alena is banished to live out her days on Cape Pelorum in servitude to the gods for the unpayable debt she earned in losing Demeter's daughter. Now powerless to the curse that causes her to drag innocent men to their watery graves, Alena sees no escape from her doomed existence. However, when the opportunity to save Persephone arises, she only has one option left: gain the help of a lone sailor to right her wrongs, or lose her friend to the clutches of the Underworld once and for all. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ **Cover made by @ShadowedRain** **Featured by the official Retold Wattpad page, on their "Rethology" reading list" **Winner of the "Ultimate Undiscovered" in the FCRA's 2016 ** **Highest Ranking #250 in Fantasy**

Two young orphans, who are best friends, discover something that will change their lives. First, they must discover what it even is that they have to do; then everything will change.

SAMPLE OF PUBLISHED BOOK THAT WAS FIRST WRITTEN ON WATTPAD. Fletcher was nothing more than a humble blacksmith's apprentice, when a chance encounter leads to the discovery that he has the ability to summon demons from another world. Chased from his village for a crime he did not commit, he must travel with his demon to the Vocans Academy, where the gifted are trained in the art of summoning. The academy will put Fletcher through a gauntlet of gruelling lessons, training him as a battlemage to fight in the Hominum Empire's war against the savage orcs. Rubbing shoulders with the children of the most powerful nobles in the land, Fletcher must tread carefully. The power hungry Forsyth twins lurk in the shadows, plotting to further their family's interests. Then there is Sylva, an elf who will do anything she can to forge an alliance between her people and Hominum, even if it means betraying her friends. Othello is the first ever dwarf at the academy, and his people have long been oppressed by Hominum's rulers, which provokes tension amongst those he studies alongside. Fletcher will find himself caught in the middle of powerful forces, with nothing but his demon Ignatius to help him. As the pieces on the board manoeuvre for supremacy, Fletcher must decide where his loyalties lie. The fate of an empire is in his hands ...

#OnceUponNow #JustWriteIt Challenge - May 2016 --- Matthew is a high school graduate with a girlfriend and a secret. When he moves to Tucson to begin his four-year journey for his degree at the University of Arizona, it turns out he may not be the only one with a secret, let alone the same secret. --- Hello fellow readers! I entered the challenge stated above and hope you all will join me as I attempt completion of this challenge! ALSO, this short story is complete, unless I get a lot of people (50 comments or more) saying they want me to add to it or make it better!! --- (By the way, I'm using the University of Arizona because it's a real place, not because of some sport rivalry or anything! If you really hate UA for some reason, there's nothing I can do, but I hope you don't let that color your view of this story!)

Lachlan makes her living writing about paranormal investigations. When she hears of a mysterious crystal found in Alaska, she figures it will be a great addition to her portfolio. She doesn't expect the story to be quite so weird, or the investigation so dangerous, or that it will involve a former girlfriend holding a grudge.

So I don't think I'm ever going to get to rewriting this even though I hate how it currently is. I started writing it when I was such a terrible writer, but theres nothing I can do. I'm going to leave it up, but don't judge the story because, trust me, I hate it too. Bi and thanks for understanding -avery

It is well known that death exists in the world, though no one really ever believes the personified version. Old lore tells of one known as the Grim Reaper; and those that do believe take him to be a malevolent spirit or demon. Neither of which is true, of course. But the existence of Death is very much real, just not as many would expect or could possibly even imagine. The one who goes by several names: The Grim Reaper, the Fourth Horseman, Death; is, to put simply, the Ruler. Under him there are several other reapers in existence and their numbers lie in the thousands. They travel around the world, guiding wandering spirits to the other side, and granting them passage in order to prevent them from becoming vengeful spirits. And unlike the lore, they aren't as otherworldly as they appear to be. Some, even manage to live among the living without any suspicion. They can venture back and forth between the World of the Living and the Realm of the Dead. But despite popular belief reapers aren't just born... they are casted. Reapers are often humans that have made a deal with Death; the deal being an act of selflessness. But the more they live as reapers, the more they forget about their time as a human. But they aren't unsympathetic. Some may come off as cruel or insensitive, but others still try to preserve their humanity. Kass, a relatively new reaper, is an example of this. Having been a reaper for only twenty years, and despite having no recollection of how she came to be a reaper, Kass still longs to cling on to the little humanity she has left and on occasion finds herself traveling through the World of the Living, hoping to regain the pieces of her mysteriously fleeting memories. Upon doing so, she finds herself an unexpected admirer who unbeknownst to her, has been watching her for several months as she frequents her favorite spot on a lonely bench overlooking a river in a small town that seems much too familiar.
