Book 1 of the Best-Selling Dystopian Fantasy Series translated in 9 languages and with a TV series in development! And it all started right here on Wattpad! In a world where everyone wears masks, the color you belong to determines your life... And your death. Except for strange creatures called Harlequins... THE RED HARLEQUIN is set in a medieval-style fantasy world, shrouded in superstition, and divided into seven divergent territories. Centuries of conflict forced these territories apart. And this is how they remain. Segregated. For the good of the people... Or so those in charge tell us. There is one rule however, that all nations agree upon. Handed down by the Gods. A rule that, if broken, is punishable by imprisonment, banishment, even death... Everyone must wear a MASK. Not a metaphorical one. A literal mask. Every single day of your life. This mask bears a color. The color of your nation. Your color DEFINES you as a person. It chooses where you call home... who your friends and enemies are... Even who you can love. And then there are those who do not belong to any single color. Outcasts. The ones they call... THE HARLEQUINS. Harlequins are not human. Truth is no-one really knows what they are. Legendary, frightful creatures lurking in the shadows, waiting for their moment to attack... Each nation tells stories of these blood-thirsty demons - who kill for pleasure. Creepy tales told throughout the lands to scare children... "If you misbehave, the Harlequins will find you..." But it isn't just the young who fear these soulless boogeymen. The mere mention of a Harlequin can strike fear into even the most hardened warrior's heart. Just pray you never meet one...

He doesn’t believe in the curse the key allegedly bears and puts it away with the intention of forgetting about its message. Until he meets Adrienne, a girl he’s compelled to for more reasons than her beauty. He’s not the only one who notices her.

Haunted by the mythical Red Man, all are connected to the ancient curse. Can they overcome their misgivings about one another and prevent the dark prophecy looming over them? Or will they be lured away from each other by evil’s siren song?

The Kingdom of Dracarr is scarred. Over three decades ago, hordes of magickal beasts known as Magus invaded the land. All was thought lost until a powerful wizard appeared. He created Rhokin: living dolls with powerful magick but also emotions. Though the Rhokin triumphed against the Magus, the creatures' threats have not abated. Now, the Rhokin are a permanent addition to the Dracarr Guard, but Guard member Sianna Rayoss places no trust in these soulless dolls. However, when her promotion partners her with one, she accepts him and her transfer to the Citadel in quiet anger. Her new routine is soon broken, though, when she stumbles into the savior wizard's mysterious quarters. He appoints Sianna on a journey to retrieve an item that will hopefully destroy the Magus threat in its entirety. She doesn't understand why she is given this task but accepts it. Accompanied by unlikely but familiar faces--and more Rhokin than she'd care for--Sianna enters the world of Ayodite, the birthplace of raw magick, powerful beasts, and dragon gods. ▶Scenes involving gore, sexual content, and strong language will be present in this story.◀ Cover by @Annany

“We are all at war with ourselves - that is what it means to be human." Jesse Ventura finds her world turned on its head when an accident leaves her personality fractured into five individual versions of herself all reflecting one of her dominant character traits. There's Con (whose brash and forward mannerisms get Jesse into trouble quickly), Meth, (the kind of person bullied into doing other people's homework), Temp, (who's volatile at best), Charity (who keeps giving away Jesse's things) and Wart (who's concerned about issues Jesse didn't know existed) But there are bigger problems to deal with. The company Jesse works for has more sinister designs for the Fracture technology, and instead of finding a solution to her problem, Jesse finds herself embroiled in the drama and presented with a difficult choice: join DexCorp and their ruthless CEO, or surrender herself and her fractures to an army of Merciless - fractures devoid of morals or pity, extracted to remove anyone that crossed DexCorp's path as painfully as possible... Hiding until the time is right to strike is her best option, but her fractures aren't making it easy. If she wants to survive, Jesse's going to have to learn to live with herself.

Hey, Wattpad! I"M GIVING AWAY 10 DAYS OF TRUE BORN! Since you are the reason True Born has gone from a tiny novella to a full-length novel in a trilogy, it seems only fitting that I give back to you with a special sneak peak! True Born is hitting stores May 3rd, but I wanted to give you all a chance to see how the material has evolved during the publication process. (The first chapter in particular is a bit different - and there is at least one important scene in the novel that has changed - you'll just have to keep reading to see what!) And so: without further ado! Every day (April 21 - April 30, 2016) for the next 10 days I will be posting a new chapter of True Born. That's right - you heard me - 10 chapters over 10 days! And if you'd like to read a little more about the reasons I'm doing this, feel free to check out my #LovelettertoWattpad on my website: www.le-sterling.com. With special thanks to my publishers, Entangled Teen, who are letting me do this crazy thing! L. E. Sterling ---- After the great Plague descended, the world population was decimated...and their genetics damaged beyond repair. The Lasters wait hopelessly for their genes to self-destruct. The Splicers pay for expensive treatments that might prolong their life. The plague-resistant True Borns are as mysterious as they are feared... And then there's Lucy Fox and her identical twin sister, Margot. After endless tests, no one wants to reveal what they are. When Margot disappears, a desperate Lucy has no choice but to put her faith in the True Borns, led by the charismatic Nolan Storm and the beautiful but deadly Jared Price. As Lucy and the True Borns set out to rescue her sister, they stumble upon a vast conspiracy stretching from Dominion's street preachers to shady Russian tycoons. But why target the Fox sisters? As they say in Dominion, it's in the blood.
