Sometimes you just might have to die to live again. ***** When art historian Reine Baldwin meets Gabe Moran, a charming journalist, she has no idea their blossoming love will shatter her comfortable life. But a series of clues lead Reine to discover that she's not alone in knowing that she was born centuries ago and-worse yet-there are many things she apparently doesn't even remember. Reine has to face a forgotten past and a forgotten ex-husband (the handsome billionaire Max Baldovini), who-like her-is immortal and cannot truly die. Should she trade her ordinary life with Gabe for the love of Max, a man who's worshipped her for half a millennium? The choice should be easy, until Reine starts to remember things that Max is desperate to make her forget. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

In a world where vampires feed from other vampires and males dominate females... there is but one precious thing left in their world which every vampire craves... A Mihr. Dohmenic is the Dralan - the King - of all vampires, and survives purely on clean blood; The blood of a Mihr, a virgin. Without a Dralaq, a Queen, he has to feed from Mihrs to ensure the continuation of his pure blood and the claim to the throne. But the times are dire; Mihrs are becoming rarer and rarer each day, and so the Dralan is slowly fading from bloodthirst. He desperately needs a Mihr to feed. Leyla is a Mihr. She is one of the few that is left in the world ruled by hungry, savage male vampires and she intends to stay that way. In hiding from the frenzied males, she ends up in the one place that should have been her only safe haven in the world; The Dralan's castle. Disguising herself as a Kischmir (a servant), she pretends she is but a mere commoner whose blood is not the purest kind in the kingdom. But when the Dralan nearly dies from cruel thirst, her blood is all that can save him. To be a Mihr means you can't be bedded by a male, otherwise your blood will be tainted. But as things grow heated between the Dralan and Leyla, will Dohmenic be able to keep his hands off her? After all, we always want what we can't have...

Centuries ago, two races inhabited the continent of Escor. One, called the Demadi, possessed extraordinary abilities that ranged from simple parlor tricks to destructive elemental magic. The other race, a simple people known as Mankind, grew weary of the Demadi's power. The leaders of Mankind decided the Demadi must be taken care of before they turned their power against them. Their attack surprised the naturally peaceful Demadi. After their defeat, the Demadi were forced to escape across the dangerous Mountains of Borac. As the years passed, the Demadi became little more than the characters of bed-time stories told to scare the children of Mankind into obedience. However, against all odds, the Demadi survived and have been planning their path of vengeance against Mankind. When the Demadi forces invade, will Mankind be ready to face them once again? This story follows two characters living in very different parts of the world, and their perspectives of history vary drastically. Theas Al'moor is a young boy seeking his own path of glory in a world filled with senseless conflict and blood-shed. Lyra Ilaren is a Demadi girl who comes to a realization that puts her in the middle of a dangerous conflict she could not possibly face alone. This story draws inspiration from several fantasy novels such as The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, The Stormlight Archives, and The Inheritance Cycle. I have always had a love for fantasy, and hope to bring this great genre back to the forefront of the enjoyment of literature for all ages. Read the dramatic conclusion to "The Son of Kazmor" once it is released in full.

**Preview Only** When a wounded dragon falls from the sky, Claire Evans runs into a cornfield to rescue it. This isn't just any dragon, he's a shifter, one of six royal protectors, and helping him has consequences. Claire finds herself traipsing--or rather, flying--across the kingdom of Dragonwall. She must face Dragonwall's king. King Talon is not like those before him. Troubled and temperamental, he is scarred by more than the events that shaped him. Worst of all, he is mateless. With no queen and no heir, his subjects are demanding he abandon tradition and marry into nobility. There is a rising threat at his borders, whispers of a sorcerer. Soon, he will have greater problems than that of finding a wife. Modern meets medieval in this seven-book series filled with magical creatures and adventure. This epic fantasy is a slow burn romance that follows multiple POVs, woven together around Claire, a small town Indiana gal. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to get sucked into a fantastical world beyond our own, look no further! **Read Exclusively On Wattpad**
