A mysterious man only known as the Pied Piper haunts Aschein. Not only does he lead children away, but he robs many towns of the magic that sustains their life. Now, monsters overrun the world, and humans are being driven into a corner, unable to fend off the creatures that attack them more and more frequently. Enter sixteen year-old Klaudia, a disabled girl who was left behind because she was unable to follow the Piper. She is a living curse to the people of Hamelin, a painful reminder of their misfortune--and has no place in the town. When she receives a marriage proposal from the powerful Lord Himmel, she accepts without hesitation. Introduced into the world of magic, Klaudia finds her calling as a Magus, a powerful brand of sorcerers whose Affinities are among the most powerful in the world. But underneath the glamour and the luxury of Lord Himmel's castle lies a deadly secret. Soon, Klaudia will learn that not everything is as it seems, and freedom will always come at a dangerous price. *** EDITOR'S CHOICE OCTOBER 2020 Previously Wattpad Featured Lovely cover by @seventhstar Word count: 127K

#1 romance fantasy #1Dragonlove, #2 Paranormal Romance highest rankings. Awards: Short list of Writers Recognition Awards Dark humor, justice, and love in the streets of New Orleans. Alex trawls the streets and alleys of New Orleans for pushers, pimps, and johns to beat senseless and leave naked in alleys. It's her revenge against the rapist stalking her. Morgan told her that he rescued her from the government agency that experimented on her and that she belongs to him. He had proven painfully to her that her new powers don't work against him. She escaped and her rage now falls on the others of his kind. Her goal is simple: take down the bad guys with her fun neuro-electric powers and snarky humor until one of them finally kills her. When she interrupts a mugging, she realizes that she's rescued a humanoid dragon from his hunters. But are his hunters the same one chasing her? The ones racing against Morgan to find her? Can this dragon and his brothers save her from her course of self-destruction? Or will they be dragged down her spiral of revenge and dark humor ? Note to reader : This book is not set in modern day New Orleans. This is a mixture of the New Orleans of my childhood, the New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina, and part fantasy. After Katrina, I needed some fantasy about New Orleans as well. Insert here the usual legal warnings about copyright and that this work belongs to me, and I will prosecute for any unauthorized reproduction, theft, etc. I have a law firm on retainer: truth.

11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?

Who exactly had ordered his family, and others, killed? And why?

Lee Capren's life is perfectly ordinary, thank you very much... right up until she's spirited away by faeries and forced to serve them as a portrait artist. She escapes with the help of Nasser, a human boy whose magic has always been more of a curse than a gift. But what felt like a night in Faerie spanned years in the human world, and Lee returns only to find that her old life is gone. Now living above a shop that caters to the city's beguiling magical crowd, Lee doesn't think her life can get more complicated. Then again, she never expected clashes with Filo, her prickly new roommate and unwilling magic tutor, her growing feelings for Nasser-or the cunning faerie bent on dragging her back to the world she just escaped.
