This is my entry for TEGSA 2025. --- Melissa is the only one who knows her dad didn't kill her mom. She knows a monster did it. She saw it herself when she was nine years old. Or so she thinks. Now, being twenty-three and fresh out of college, she knows there is no such thing as monsters. There weren't any voices to hide from under her blanket, there weren't any shadows chasing her in the halls, those were all fantasies of a kid with too much imagination. Yet, she is still determined to find out what really happened to her parents, and most of all, why. Because the one thing she does know, is that people have lied to her. All of them. All the time. --- 🥇First place in the Hollowed Verse Awards (min 1k reads category) 🥉 Third place in the Moonlight Trove | Astania Awards 2025 (Mystery) 🏅Honorable mention in The Ink Games (Most mindblowing concept)

No one ever returns from Shi Zi Tou. They say the island is cursed. That the heroes who venture there in search of the lost Princess Mooncake never come back. And now, for reasons completely out of her control, Honey Sesame has to be the next fool to try. She never asked to be here. She's no warrior, no noble hero, and definitely not the kind of person who rescues princesses. But when Hong Shao, the arrogant prince of Sichuan, drags her into his grand mission, she has no choice but to set foot on Shi Zi Tou, an island that doesn't just swallow heroes whole, but plays with them. With danger lurking behind every shadow, secrets waiting to be unraveled, and a prince who's more trouble than he's worth, Honey Sesame must do what no one before her could: survive. 🥇 First place winner of the Chinese Food Menu Story Writing Activity 🥇 First place in the Dream Glow Awards: best character (Honey) 🥇 First place in the Inspire Legends Awards: action-adventure 🏅Round 3 Qualifier in the Amby Awards 2025: Fantasy Cover design by the amazing @Hells07Dealer !

After losing everything and everyone, Sari is forced to start over and make sense of a new world. Again. And while the evil in Spitta keeps growing, this time, she has to fight her inner demons as well. Blaming her for their Alpha's death, Sari's back to living in a pack that doesn't accept her and doesn't trust anything she says. With the new Alpha's open disapproval, life in Rahas has become that much more straining for Sari. An even more surprising encounter changes the turn of fate, once again with Sari unwillingly right in the middle of it. As a new force awakens in the very center of the Death Moon pack, can Sari find another way to save it all--and prevent the impending doom from succeeding?

Herera, captain of the Purple Pearl, and her crew continue their adventures around the world. On their magical ship, they chase adventure, meddle with injustice and search for ways to become stronger in order to save as many as possible who have lost their way. To protect their strongest crew member, Herera and part of her crew are secretly studying the effects of Dead Magic, a strong form of magic that their enemies keep using to get stronger and more threatening.

'Show them the way' has always been The Purple Pearl's motto. A ship that is truly alive, with plants and trees not just growing on the deck, but being part of it. Since Herera has become captain, she has been trying to uphold the reputation of the magical, living ship. A task she had never asked for, but one she carried out with pride. Now, Captain Hachi has stolen The Purple Pearl and is holding half of Herera's crew hostage. Along with the remaining part of her crew, she tries to make new and old allies, plan and scheme, and fight her way through her enemy's forces to get her friends, crew, and home back.
