♕ WATTPAD FEATURED STORY 12/4/17 ♕ 🌟 Highest Rank #308 in the Fantasy category 1/2/18 🌟 🏆 #1 fantasy in the Chaos Awards 2018 🏆 To avoid war from spreading and the world from breaking, a young woman has to reclaim her stolen throne and expose the Truth before it's too late. ♕ The lands of Etheria have long since been plagued by war. A new age started when one king conquered the kingdoms around him and would not stop until all the lands yielded before him. Now, Magic is dying, a rebellion is rising, and the King is marching towards the last remaining free lands. Elora Atherton wants nothing to do with war. The dreams that haunt her at night show her enough of it to know its festering darkness, but she soon finds she is not as far away from its center as she thought. When the Black Guard comes for her on the night of Valmai, she finds out she is not only the lost heir to the Albion throne, but the last Truthseer as well. After Elora barely escapes with her life, the weight of a whole kingdom now rests on her shoulders. If she ever wants her throne back, she has to unite the once Loyal Houses of Albion, rally them against the Crown--against the man that has taken everything from her--and unravel the web of Lies the King has spun. But will the lands and people she barely remembers be worth the sacrifices that await her? ♕ A Crown of Lies is the first novel in the Keepers of Truth series set in a world full of magic, love, and betrayal. The story will be updated every two weeks. "There's beautiful language and imagery; it gives a very vivid picture of what is happening. The story also moves very fluidly." --lisastree "This is so well written and beautifully crafted. I feel like it's going to be an epic adventure." --StokeyTheCat ♕

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?

"Welcome," Mr Tuma indicates the seat in front of his big oak desk and smiles at you affably. "Please sit," he intones in his usual melodic voice. You sit nervously, after your experience with the council last night; you don't know what to expect. So you sit on the edge of your seat to give yourself a greater chance to escape, should things go sideways. The Principal chuckles looking like the same old inviting principal you knew yesterday, but now you know he's not."Thanks for coming in this morning. I thought we could spend a couple of minutes getting reacquainted. " You sit silently and fidget nervously with your book bag. He just smiles at you reassuringly and says," I see, not in the mood for a chat. Okay just know my door is always open.." You nod your head stiffly -- anything to get out of the office and on with your new life. "I promise this will only take a moment. As Haven High's newest Enlightened student there are few things I think you should know." Firstly, this world is not for the feint of heart. We'll expect you to study hard and train even harder. Secondly, I know everyone is exceedingly attractive but looks can be deceiving, it would behoove you to remember that. Thirdly, magic will be the most invigorating and exhilarating experience you've ever had , but never underestimate it , because it's also deadly. "Do you have any questions?" You stare at him wide eyed and tight lipped until he leans forward behind his desk to say. "I know you'll do just fine here. Run along now." he dismisses you with a wave of his hand. And you rush to leave the room, he calls out before you can shut the door, "Oh and don't forget, our world is not to be shared with anyone who was not previously aware of it. Understood?" You gulp at the serious as a heart attack look on his face and say in a rush:,"I would never," but you wonder as you leave can you really keep that promise.

(All nine stories contained in this one book) Enlightened: Zachary's an ordinary teen going to a regular high school. At least, he thinks so, until he finds out he's not. Now he's going to have to live in a world he doesn't understand, he doesn't think is safe, and he knows is discriminatory. He doesn't know any of the rules, but he knows breaking them can come at a cost that few are willing to pay. At least he doesn't have to navigate this mysterious world alone. He has his best friend Lauren, a halfblood fae, to help him learn the ropes. Now, he just has to decide if he can live a secret life-- One that includes: black market magic, underground criminal creatures, deadly weapons, and finally conscription to a corrupt magic council--all because he and the other members of his school were unfortunate enough to be born... Halfbloods Addicted: Cameron the halfblood Selkie and Megan the halfblood Mermaid had more reasons to fear the sea than the dangerous magical world they live in. Both thought they had found a love that nothing could tear apart, but neither had banked on the long perilous year they were about to embark on. A year froth with ancient curses and blood feuds, unbreakable death pacts and magical subterfuge, unstoppable enemies and finally, an addiction born of desperation. In the end, will their love survive the call of the Sea? UPDATED! Daily © 2017 These stories and works ARE COPYRIGHTED.
