For Rene Sparks, it all began with some ink and a knife. Two dragons, one black, the other one white, appeared from nowhere to adorn her arms when she was only eleven. Their sudden appearance and permanent stains of "imperfection" sent her teetering mother over a cliff of madness to the point where she tried to cut the abominations off Rene's arms. They were the constants in her life, the dragon tattoos and the scars that traced them. Unable to fit in with the normals of society, years later, she was placed in a boarding school for youths with mental health issues, affectionately called the Asylum by its residents. The Asylum though was no haven for the insane and Rene struggled to cling to what shred of sanity there might be left from a failing system of experimental treatments and corrupted caretakers as the tattoos on her skin continue to grow in number. Rene's life was no fairy tale and she was certainly no princess, but perhaps even an insane girl can become a hero when they have some dragons up their sleeves.

1918, Russia. The Bolshevik revolution has succeeded in overthrowing the Romanov family as the kings of Russia. The royal family is dead, executed late in the night, securing the Bolshevik's hold on the country. With no Romanovs to challenge them, the country has gone to the Communists. Or has it? St. Petersburg, 1922. Anastasia Romanov, the last surviving Romanov, lived through the night that killed her family. And now, she's gaining her revenge: with the help of loyalist troops, she's taking over the country and restoring herself to the throne. And she sweeps Sasha Kozlov, a sharpshooter in the Red Army, right into it after taking St. Petersburg and giving him a choice: join her and betray the things he stands for, or be executed. NOTE: THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY UNDER EXTENSIVE EDITING - ONLY READ THE CHAPTERS WITH A √ NEXT TO THE NAME IF YOU'RE JUST STARTING IT TO AVOID CONFUSION

**Wattpad Featured Story** Zahra Kasmut has lived before our time. In an ancient life, she fought against Set, an Egyptian deity, who had amassed a commanding army to overthrow her country. He butchered anyone who opposed him--man or woman, child or elder--and set countless towns and villages ablaze. With her city starving from a seemingly endless siege, Zahra and her companions had only two choices: kill an Egyptian god or die trying. Somehow, Zahra survived Set's onslaught on her city, but not without an unwilling sacrifice that forced her away from her brother, uncle, and nation she had defended. Thousands of years later, she now walks among us. Unaware of her true past, she goes about her mundane days craving more to life; all while trying to understand who the distant yet familiar voices in her head belong to. One man, however, is aware of who she truly is: Akar Usi, a beloved ally of Set. Since the siege, he's been trapped under the ruins of his collapsed city, waiting to emerge and spark the civil war of Ancient Egypt once more. First, though, he'll start with Zahra--he'll start by making her suffer. --- Cover by the brilliant @MayFreighter !
