Teenage Vampyrs, Enchanteds, and Shapeshifters join the Otherworlder Academy to train to fight off a demon horde and save the Otherworlder realm. Welcome to the rewrite of The Otherworlders! (This is v2 version, which explains the odd read to vote ratio, btw) :-) Anyway! If you're new, just a little info: ★ MY READERS LOVE ★ - Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Miraculous Ladybug, KOTLC, Teen Wolf, and Warrior Cats. If you love those stories, you'll love "The Otherworlders" too! ****** THE STORY: Forced to call a truce to the Shadow Wars and set their prejudice aside, Vampyrs, Enchanteds, and Shapeshifters create the Otherworlder Integrated Academy. Nine students are chosen, three from each race, to train under Headmaster Pierce and his staff. But this is no ordinary school. No. These students are training to fight an encroaching demon horde while hunting down a magical tablet that could save the Otherworlder realm from destruction. "The Otherworlders" is filled with supernatural threats, magical powers, complex and layered storylines, and adorable yet complicated characters readers absolutely love! ****** [[Wattys Winner]] [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

Nothing is impossible for the Fae, but with her thieving boyfriend, insane mother, and peasant status, Ruby's happily ever after seems to be. When the Giants, a vicious and corrupt race, accuse Ruby's boyfriend of murdering their crown prince, Ruby volunteers for Regeneration to save him from a death sentence and her people from a terrible war. The rules of Regeneration are simple--clone yourself and lead the clone through three lives on Earth. One catch: the clone must not fall in love. Ember, Ruby's clone, can only hope for a happy ending. But even being forced to live three loveless lives during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, the Second World War, and in the polluted wasteland of 3125 A.D. China has its perks, for when Ember meets the same young man in all three of her lives, she knows he's the key to her happily ever after and vows to find him--no matter what. It seems as though Ruby's happy ending must come at the cost of Ember's, and Ember's at the cost of Ruby's. But soon a much bigger problem faces the two: the legendary Scepter of Argentum, which wields power over every mortal, is awakening. And the evil Queen of the Giants intends to seize it. As dark secrets about her heritage and past arise, Ruby allies with the most unlikely of beings, including an icy Giant princess, a mysterious Giant prince, and a three-legged dragon, to find the three pieces of the Scepter before the Queen does. But first she must make peace with the most daunting individual of them all--her other half. Can Ruby and Ember stop the Giant Queen and find their happy endings? Yes, they can...for the price of unbearable sacrifice, unimaginable selflessness, and undying bravery. . . . Amazing cover art by the talented @Homely8 . . .

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.

Pearl is a fast-paced thriller with a dash of mystery that will develop into an action sci-fi/fantasy novel as it progresses. It contains scenes of gore, body horror, and some violence.

Once upon a time, Leander decided to kidnap a sorceress. It didn't go to plan. [Wattpad Picks: Editors' Choice] Leander just wanted to forget the army now he'd left it behind him, but war had dogged the country for the past thirty years and forgetting was nigh impossible, especially when it looked unlikely to finish any time soon. Pretty, clever and vivacious, Miss Harper was surely the perfect distraction. If only she would give him the time of day... Unfortunately Miss Harper only had eyes for her big promotion (in whatever that job of hers was) and Leander didn't feature in her plans. All she was interested in was magic, something nobody took seriously, and the fate of the nation. Drunk and desperate, he made one final, wild attempt to be noticed by her. Magic, it transpired, was a little more serious than Leander had bargained for. If he thought he'd escaped the war, he was sorely mistaken: it was exactly where Lissy Harper was heading, and now she was taking him with her. Nothing was more dangerous than a sorceress when you'd got on her bad side. --- This is a complete (admittedly rough around the edges) story, updated on request/whim.
