I highly recommend it" -Mia Meade "Keeper of the Flame has to be one of my all time favorites! I mean, a relatable sarcastic girl meets a crew of absolute weirdos. A guy with personal space issues, a snarky elf, a shy fairy, and a sweet dwarf. What more could you want?! Action you say? Got that too! Honestly I recommend this book to everyone and it will forever have a special place in my heart." -GirlThat_Reads "I can't get enough of this story. It's so good. It's enthralling, funny, and beautiful. I am glad I made time because if I didn't I would've missed one of the best stories on Wattpad. If I had to make a list of my favorite Wattpad stories this would be on it. It's a work of art." -Ana_2610

Being ill & impoverished is nothing new to Skye Palmner- the upsurge in a radioactive wasteland made sure of that. Seventeen Years Ago, more than half of Tier Three's Newborn population were killed by a volatile radioactive wasteland. Those who survived were affected severely. Their cellular make-ups rapidly changed and warped into a strange form of cancerous cells. Scientists called them the X-cells. Previous studies illustrated how rapidly the cells were morphing, making them extremely combustible- easily killing the victim. Being the poorest society of the three Tiers in the European Union, the kids weren't given any special aids, leaving most of them to suffer and die out. That is until the Director General of the European Union decides to step in. His Lab Techs have been engineering possible cures for the X-cell, and have been taking these kids to experiment on. Skye Palmner isn't exactly enthusiastic, she's more so dubious, as she holds no trust for the Government. When they take her and her mates away from their Children's Home and to the Research Facility, Skye's doubts are augmented. She senses that something sinister is boiling beyond the surface, and what exactly is happening to those who get "treated"? She won't ever know until it's her turn.

Highest ranking: #1 in Teen Fiction -- "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. *different summary inside* "Perfect amount of tragedy, humor, and romance!" -Sparkles530 "I feel like I learned a lot from your story, thank you." - 980Sarah "This book is beautifully written.

Not everyone wants to be a princess. Princess Carolina Ysabelle-Aurora Radieux Jenkins or as everyone knows as simply Princess Laura Jenkins would do everything to live an ordinary life even for just a few moments. All she wanted is to experience being free of everything that came along with being a princess, even if it means she has to be someone else. Everything was perfect, she became Vanessa Carter, got to New York safely, and even landed herself a job (thanks to her friend), without a hitch. That was until she realized she had to work for Nathaniel Westwood. Notorious for his arrogance, playboy personality, and ruthlessness to his rivalries, Nathaniel Westwood is the owner and founder of the Westwood Land Development Corporation. He is living the life of a bachelor, until he crossed paths with the green-eyed brunette, Vanessa Carter. Will there be a spark between the two? What would happen if Nathaniel finds out about the truth?

[COMPLETE] "There's no love in coercion." --- Crystal was an omega born of beta blood. A werewolf without a wolf. A burden on the pack and unworthy of love. Tiberius was a rogue on a rampage. A lycan trapped in his beast form. A curse bound to destroy him. Soulmates. But the curse rendered Tiberius incapable of speaking and Crystal unable to feel the effects of the matebond. With time running out, they must turn to each other, overcome their inner demons, and free themselves of the curse before the next lunar eclipse. But who could love a beast when his own mate did not love herself? --- "God, I love this man. I love this story! No overbearing, aggressive alphas manipulating their mates. This is just pure love and trying to understand and respect [each other] and it's beautiful." -- ajae_jackson "Hands down the best book I've read this year.

PREVIOUSLY TITLED 'BLOOD THRONE' { Wattys 2018 'The Originals' winner } Shadows trail Rhaessa wherever she goes. Whether that's her magic or past, she can't seem to escape them. Wrestled into a corner with only one way out, she embarks on a journey to uncover the truths of her vicious kingdom. Varyn walks a very fine line in the royal courts, finding herself at the mercy of the King's whims, where one wrong move can have terrible consequences. When a string of murders is committed inside the castle walls, the time is ticking for her to put a stop to it before chaos erupts. Two women are forced to uncover the blood, bones, and treachery that built their kingdom and line the throne. The stakes could be their lives or worse. Much, much worse. War? That doesn't quite cover it. TW: violence, implied SA, and mentions of suicide/depression. This story is heavy and has some dark themes. *** Disclaimer: although I made the cover myself, I do not claim to have made any of the beautiful art used on it.
