This story has been shortlisted for Wattpad India Campus Superwriters 2020 contest. Please vote on the first chapter and show some love! Now that all light has fled Leaves of the mortal tree shed We mourn the one who has left The one who for the land, bled Except the Queen laughing in her bed With dragons roaring in her head Ha ha, the King is now dead In a land sweeping from frozen lakes to sweltering deserts, All the stories are true. The fairies and the monsters. Here is a tale of enemies and lovers, traitors and bastards, soldiers and sorcerers and talking dragons.

Orchid Child was a poem I'd written in college that won my professor's approval, and was even published in the college's literary magazine. Most of the poetry is prose; however, you'll find a few other modes in some of the poems as well. During my brief spat of poetry writing, I managed to create a small collection of poems which were well received when read by others. I hope anyone who reads them enjoys them as much as I loved writing them!

The Grove is a Wattpad Featured Story. Fifteen-year-old Fuchsia speaks like an average teen navigating the usual drama, but her community of tribes called The Grove is an even more terrifying place to be than the halls of high school. The two major events in a tribe member's life are being pollinated, if you're lucky, and being picked, if you're not. Watching heads roll on a daily basis, Cord, a healer's son wise beyond his years, teaches Fuchsia how to break the rules of their limited society to support an underground movement with ancient roots. Romance and satire twist like vines as Fuchsia and Cord trade illegal secrets, sacrificing it all to save their tribes from a fate worse than death while stealing passionate moments in the meadow. Forced to choose sides in a century-old war that has ravaged the land, Fuchsia must put her fleeting life where her words are and hope the outcome will outlive the season. What a revelation! And one I definitely didn't see coming.
