„Născut într-un oraș în care puterea și criminalitatea sunt la ordinea zilei, iar frica definește întreaga comunitate, un tânăr decide să lupte pentru libertate. Cu o sete aprigă pentru dreptate, acesta veghează peste cetățeni, gata oricând să-i pedepsească pe cei ce pretind să facă legea. Însă o noapte ce părea să decurgă ca oricare alta avea să declanșeze un lung șir de evenimente menite să readucă umbrele trecutului și să scoată la iveală secretele celor ce conduc orașul. În căutarea sa pentru dreptate, el întâlnește un grup de tineri talentați la fel de dornici să elibereze comunitatea. Cine este el? Nimeni nu știe. Toți îl cunosc drept „Justițiarul". Poți fi tu sau poate fi prietenul tău cel mai bun. Vor reuși ei să câștige acest război? Nimeni nu știe. Dar un lucru este sigur, nu vor renunța!"

❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first season Chosen One awards ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021

∞ A Wattpad Featured Story on 17 January 2018 ∞ "There are two sides of the same coin." In a dystopian society where people are discriminated by their social status, Adrastea Bones is merely a healer with a knack for inventing antidotes for fatal poisons. When the leader of the rebellion, Rhydderch Thomas, finds out about Adrastea's skill, he persuades her to his cause, despite her originally wanting to stay out of the fray. It doesn't help that Rhydderch is her soulmate due to the words on their skin. Never had she entertained the thought of finding hers, let alone the fact that he didn't seem to mind her being his that much. Journey with Adrastea as she comes to see that it always isn't good and bad and that as ruthless and manipulative Rhydderch can be, perhaps, there was more to him than she originally thought. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Just be careful of Rhydderch," he warned. Adrastea looked up at that. "Why?" she paused warily, "Is there a reason why I should be wary of my own soulmate?"

,, - Nu mă mai răni! şopti ea cu o voce tremurândă, privindu-l în continuare în ochii adăugați superb la fața perfect construită, albă şi curată fără nicio impuritate. Zâmbetul îi dispăru şi fu înlocuit cu o figură serioasă şi răutăcioasă care o îngheță mai tare. Pufni răutăcios şi zise în şoaptă: - Nu te rănesc... Te ucid! " Simte cum timpul arde! Vezi cum flacăra se ridică până la vârful acului de ceas, acoperind cu totul cifrele aurii ale vieții noastre. Într-adevăr, doare când se vede ceasul făcându-se scrum puțin câte puțin, dar un simplu argument: NU STINGE FLACĂRA... E A TIMPULUI! ,,Timpul e o fiară care are nesfârşita răbdare de a înghiți totul". Fiecare minut, fiecare secundă, fiecare moment poate deveni o provocare după ani întregi de parcurgere a unui drum spre o formare normală a vieții. A unui drum al inițierii. Exact aşa a decurs viața adolescentei Elizabeth Smith, fata cu părul din naştere precum un foc neastâmpărat şi cu aspirații normale de elev până la un anumit punct. Aici intervine demonstrația schimbării în etapa ei de adolescentă când un vis o urmăreşte în fiecare noapte. Când încearcă să găsească răspunsul acestui vis, timpul devine inamicul ei şi totodată calea ei spre fericire totală. Folosindu-l greşit, poate să distrugă tot ce iubeşte sau să îşi îndeplinească cele mai arzătoare dorinţe. Doar că atunci când reuşeşte să dobândească prețioasa armă a timpului, totul scapă de sub control şi ea devine pur şi simplu o țintă în ochii tuturor care vor să dețină puterea absolută pentru propriile interese. Decizii grele şi răsturnări de situații îşi fac apariția. Odată cu acestea apare şi înțelepciunea. Încetul cu încetul nu va mai fi doar o simplă liceană... va fi mult mai mult: INVINCIBILĂ!

#WATTYS2017 Winner - HIGHEST RANKING # 5 - DOWNTON ABBEY meets Libba Bray's THE DIVINERS in this YA Historical Fantasy set in 1922 England. Unlike all the Debutantes she knows, eighteen-year-old Vita couldn't care less about her coming out ball. Trapped in her gloomy country estate, all she wants is to spend the summer dancing to jazzy numbers in East End clubs with her best friend Izzy. Freshly returned from a year abroad, Izzy is ready for the thrill of the London Season, with its endless whirl of balls, shopping sprees and horse races. Most importantly, she's counting on Vita to help her find the rich and handsome husband every high society girl deserves. But when Vita is kidnapped and found barely alive in an East London alleyway, the carefree summer the girls had planned turns into something much stranger than they could ever have imagined. With flappers turning up dead all over the city, and Vita terrified of hybrid monsters she swears she can see lurking in Mayfair's marbled houses, Izzy can't help noticing that darkness is seeping into their lives. As Vita starts to believe she's turning into a monster herself, Izzy suspects her friend's sanity is slipping away. Both girls have to find out what's happening before they lose their friendship and status, and their crowd of Bright Young Things becomes a thing of the past. *** A Wattpad Featured Story from 16/02/17 to 25/07/17 HIGHEST RANKING: # 5 on the Wattpad Historical Hot List *** THE BRIGHT AND THE LOST Pinterest Board: http://uk.pinterest.com/emcastellan/the-bright-and-the-lost/ *** Cover designer: Amalia Chitulescu *** Copyright © 2016.
