Princess Lyra Beaumont lives in a kingdom where music is forbidden. A single note results in death. Those were the rules set long ago, and they have never been broken since. Even with this death sentence, she secretly plays her Viola in a room long forgotten, and Lyra's golden eyes mark her as a Symphonium. Her Viola has the power to create the worlds of the pieces she plays. When a new evil threatens to bring havoc onto her kingdom, she must journey into a new world and find a talisman that cannot be found. But the world is closing up-fast, and if she doesn't find it in time, the gates will close and she will be trapped. Cover by: solidarity_ Copyright © 2016 by Peyton Taylor All rights reserved.

Nobody knew where Jack came from. Nobody knew when he’d ever leave. From the moment he arrived at Saint Dymphna Asylum, Jack hadn’t uttered a word. He stayed voiceless and lost in his own world.

A lonely prince isolated by his own father. A ravenous king ready to kill anyone in his path. An orphaned boy trying to stay alive. And a powerful treasure hidden for centuries... found at last. In this dangerous game of love and betrayal, set in a time of kings and kingdoms, what will the final choice be? Trust or power? Freedom or dignity? Life or death?

Feared by his enemies and tolerated by his allies, Sedgewick Alverdyne, the cynical Minister of Magic, was content with living an attachment-free life whilst striking fear into the hearts of witches, sorceresses, and wizards everywhere. And after several hundred years of faithfully serving the royal family, he's become very comfortable in his position-including his indispensability. But when a mysterious curse starts wreaking havoc on his powers, his stable existence is pulled out from under him. Facing old and new enemies on one side and his own department on the other, Sedgewick finds himself stranded with little magic and less help. With time of the essence, his reputation on the line, and no one willing to help but Feyla, his meddling-yet surprisingly devoted-assistant, he's forced to confront one of the few challenges he hasn't prepared for. Because a mage without magic isn't a mage at all... A Wattpad Featured Story Published August 12th, 2016. Completed August 20th, 2017.

"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure
