Religion rules Constantine's world...and she has been condemned as the Spawn of the Devil. She is a Champion, a human being blessed with superhuman abilities by the deities of her world. However, her patron happens to be the Lord of War and Strategy - and women were never supposed to be Champions of War. In order to survive in a world that would rip her apart, she disguises as a boy, training to fulfil her supposed destiny. But fate has other things in store for her. An ancient evil is rising - and only Constantine may have the power needed to fight it. Along with a brash warrior and a too-perceptive scholar, Constantine begins to unravel secrets of a prophecy foretelling the end of the world. Now, she must learn how to fight evil with nothing but a magical knife as well as powers she knows next-to-nothing of. The real problem though? She may have been the one to call the great evil in the first place. ************ Now a Wattpad Featured story!

For years, the faceless terror known as the Hand of Fate has been secretly manipulating the port city of Reyza for her shadowy ends. Those she favors rise in status while those who betray her are never heard from again. When the opportunity to eliminate a powerful dynasty presents itself, the Hand of Fate conspires with a sadistic diplomat who shares the king's bed. Together, they hatch a plan to assassinate their rivals. The plan is flawless-every variable calculated-except for one. On the night the Hand of Fate's hired assassin makes his move, a notorious thief is also making his. Jarle Jadien has had it with the gray-haired harpy whom he serves and succumbs to the greatest temptation of all: The Ensther estate is home to the king's betrothed and a fortune in jewels. When the risky heist takes a disastrous turn, Jarle finds himself in possession of a treasure he has no intention of keeping. Avaren Ensther is beauty and intrigue in one, and a keeper of secrets that reach far beyond Jarle's world of whiskey and disrepute. Reyza's infamous thief has had his heart stolen from under his nose, but time will tell if his sirenic temptress proves worthy. Within the city walls, a retired war-hero investigates the conspiracy and attempts to uphold justice, but his efforts may not suffice to prevent an all-out war. Too many vengeful plots have festered; too much blood spilled. As the moons reach a cataclysmic alignment, unleashing the terrible force of the tides, neither hero, criminal, nor all-powerful monarch; can escape the tendrils of fate.

'A war is coming. And it's going to bite.' What if there were two species of human, and sharing blood was the only way to survive? AI VAN ROSENDAL comes from a long line of powerful EVes. Despite her high blood potential, Ai prefers life beyond the Wall. When her sister goes missing Ai has no choice but to return to the society that destroyed her family, enlisting the help of the one viper she never wanted to lay eyes on, or fall for, ever again. FELIX DE ANGELIS is next-in-line for the throne. With great power comes an unbreakable bond to his entire viper species, day in day out. His only respite is hanging around hybrids - who have no emotions whatsoever and drinking illegally sourced, spirit-laced, blood. And to protect those he loves whatever the cost. COVE LANCE is doing what he does best; surviving. When a girl with odd-coloured eyes destroys the key to his fight for freedom, Cove is caught between coming to her rescue or just saving himself, again. ~ In a dystopian world, two species of human - sapiens and vipers - have evolved to co-exist since the beginning. Divided into those who feed and those who are food; both have advanced to form symbiotic bonds, sharing energy and abilities within blood. Together they form a perfect union, Geminae. But life is not in balance. In a world where duality is everything, three is a crowd: VIPERS - revered as gods and royalty, adapted long ago to harvest blood energy through psychic connection - are slowly dying out. Few SAPIENS have the evolved blood type (EVes), enabling them to share energy with vipers. The demand for high blood potential (hBP) has sky-rocketed, allowing illegal blood hunters to prosper and flourish. HYBRIDS - sterile progeny of both, forced to live outside the technologically advanced cities - continue to threaten blood ties and blood trade between nations. As HELL breaks loose and WAR threatens to erupt, Dark SECRETS and wounded HEARTS collide in a brutal fight for LOVE and SURVIVAL.

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.
