CHINESE ARYA STARK meets THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. *A Wattpad Featured story* When everyone wears a mask, who do you trust? In the unforgiving empire of Erden where the Imperials reign supreme, Sarna is a slave. After escaping the brothel where a man burned half her face, she is determined to lead a new life by joining Zichuan Theater as a performer. When an assassination attempt on the crown prince casts suspicion on Zichuan Theater, the fragile foundations of that new life begin to crumble. Incarcerated with a death sentence in line, she is offered a dangerous deal: the crown prince's head in exchange for Zichuan Theater's freedom. To save her theater, Sarna journeys to learn the dark art of Facechanging from a forgotten god, hides herself behind borrowed beauty, and uses her new identity to infiltrate the Jade Palace. But no godly transaction comes without a price. Not only does she find herself trapped not only in a web of court intrigue, but in a battle for control of her body and her life. As time ticks down for her theater, she must decide between her heart and her freedom, or risk losing everything she has ever loved and worked for - including her identity.

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️

"I closed my eyes listening again. To my left, I heard another several crunches, and without hesitation sprinted through the trees, keeping several paces away from the deer route. In this state of being I knew full well that right this moment I resembled the same deer. Wild and dirty, running for my life away from the danger, holding my wooden weapon tight in my hand." When ordinary Stacy Jenkins started working for Animus Inc. she had no idea what she had gotten herself into. Her new boss Tyr Palus, was no ordinary boss. He was actually far from being a human. He dragged her into the world of mystery, dark secrets, and constant danger. Now she needs to do everything possible to run away and survive. However, the circumstances get her further than she had planned. Much, much further... WARNING!!! This story is copyrighted! This is original story born from my bizarre imagination and wild fantasy. I'm not going to claim myself be the genius of dark writing, but what I wrote I didn't steal from anybody. It's all plot of my imagination and my imagination only. I know it's hard to be original nowadays, but I try at least to create something that doesn't go by the original scenario or be a rewritten story of one of my fellow writers. I find it shameful and simply disrespectful to gain profit by using someone else's ideas. I've been hearing lots of stories lately about the plagiarism. The ideas of some of the writers in the community had been stolen and used. I warn you now, if you're here to steal, stay the f away from my book. I don't invest myself into empty heads of leeches. I write cause I enjoy it and want people to enjoy reading my stories. If I find any traces of my ideas in some books around here, I'll report you. Otherwise, have a great day and sleep well :) Lina :)

"Appearances can be deceiving- especially if you're not looking hard enough." This is a story about superheroes. Also, it isn't. I should know. I'm trapped in it. *** Meet Jack. A stereotypical protagonist with a tragic backstory who discovers he has powers and uses them to save The City aided by his trusted friends- except he isn't. What's the hushed-up secret the Government is keeping about The City- and why is it against a hero? What's up with Jack's history teacher? What exactly is his University hiding? Why is there the occasional unnecessary reference? How sinister are the skeletons lurking in his so-called friends' cupboards? And which one of them is a cold-blooded murderer? Secrets, secrets, everywhere- but the more he unravels, the closer he thinks he is to being free, the more Jack finds himself linked to forces outside his control and events he barely remembers, stuck in a fictional universe where, it would seem, everyone is against him. ___ Highest ranks that I have no idea how this thing received- #2 thriller #3 mystery #4 fourthwall #5 breakstereotypes #8 masks #16 projectsuper #143 humour ...among others. Thanks a lot, guys! :D
