Belief is a powerful magic. Valerie Diaz has a power that she can't contain, and it's killing her. Bounced between foster homes and the streets, she only has time to concentrate on staying alive. But a visit from the imaginary friend of her childhood opens a world of possibilities, including a new life half a universe away on a planet that is bursting with magic. The Society of Imaginary Friends follows Valerie on a journey that straddles two worlds. In order to survive, she must travel many light years away to a realm where anything is possible. On the Globe, imaginary friends come to life, the last of the unicorns rules the realm, and magic seeps from the pores of all the Conjurors who live there. But choosing to embrace her potential will set Valerie on a treacherous course - one filled with true love, adventure and perilous danger.

❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first Chosen One ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021

Mit der leidenschaftlichen Liebe ist es wie mit Gespenstern: Alle reden davon, aber keiner hat sie gesehen. (François VI. Herzog de La Rochefoucauld Zitat) ___________________________________________ Einen „Neuanfang" haben sie es genannt, doch woran sie nicht dachten war , dass es alte Narben aufreißen würde. Narben mit denen ich nie gerechnet hätte und die gerade begonnen hatten zu heilen. Doch wie sollte man sich verhalten, wenn man zurück an einen Ort geschickt wurde, den man am liebsten für immer vergessen hätte? Zurück an einen Ort der am besten garnicht mehr existieren sollte. ----*---- Welches 17-jährige Mädchen steckt nicht in einer Krise, die aus Freundschaft, Liebe, Frust und Verzweiflung besteht? Zu all den Katastrophen muss Smilla zusätzlich mit dem schlimmsten aller Gefühle klar kommen: Trauer. Nach vier Jahren kehrt sie zurück in ihren Heimatort The Lizard, einer malerischen Halbinsel im Südwesten Cornwalls um bei Ihrer Grams neu anfangen zu können. Sehnsüchtig freut sie sich auf das Wiedersehen ihres besten Freundes aus Kindheitstagen, doch nicht nur Smilla hatte sich im Laufe der Jahre verändert, auch ihr Freund Caleb scheint nicht mehr der zu sein, der er einst war. Kann sie ihm noch trauen? Oder hatten die beiden sich bereits verloren?

. Three years. It had been three years since he'd been taken, experimented on, had his DNA altered and became a freak of nature. He knew because he'd managed to peek at the computer when they dragged him into that dreaded room; the one they used to prod, poke and inject him with god-knows-what. He was considered their only success - meaning their illegal tests hadn't killed him or rendered him paralysed, or worse; brain dead. He was subject 254. And he was the only survivor. At least until she - subject 391 - moved into the cell next door. - - 18th June 2018 - Rank 1 #sciencefiction 17th May 2019 - Rank 4 #romance 22nd Feb 2019 - Rank 1 #superpowers -- ** NOW COMPLETED**
