Book 1 of the Best-Selling Dystopian Fantasy Series translated in 9 languages and with a TV series in development! And it all started right here on Wattpad! In a world where everyone wears masks, the color you belong to determines your life... And your death. Except for strange creatures called Harlequins... THE RED HARLEQUIN is set in a medieval-style fantasy world, shrouded in superstition, and divided into seven divergent territories. Centuries of conflict forced these territories apart. And this is how they remain. Segregated. For the good of the people... Or so those in charge tell us. There is one rule however, that all nations agree upon. Handed down by the Gods. A rule that, if broken, is punishable by imprisonment, banishment, even death... Everyone must wear a MASK. Not a metaphorical one. A literal mask. Every single day of your life. This mask bears a color. The color of your nation. Your color DEFINES you as a person. It chooses where you call home... who your friends and enemies are... Even who you can love. And then there are those who do not belong to any single color. Outcasts. The ones they call... THE HARLEQUINS. Harlequins are not human. Truth is no-one really knows what they are. Legendary, frightful creatures lurking in the shadows, waiting for their moment to attack... Each nation tells stories of these blood-thirsty demons - who kill for pleasure. Creepy tales told throughout the lands to scare children... "If you misbehave, the Harlequins will find you..." But it isn't just the young who fear these soulless boogeymen. The mere mention of a Harlequin can strike fear into even the most hardened warrior's heart. Just pray you never meet one...

The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time. *** Run. Don't look back. When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go. The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food. When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead. Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.

In order to embark on a mission to discover alien life on the icy moon of Jupiter Maria must leave her life on Earth behind, including her father and her seven-year-old son Diego. She thought the hardest part of the mission would be saying goodbye, but little does she know what awaits her and her crew on Europa, an environment that has never been explored from the surface until this mission. Perhaps alien life was never meant to be explored by humans... Will she fulfill her promise to her father and son to make it home alive, or will she fail to make good on that promise like her mother did when she was a little girl? Note: This story was written during a challenge to write an entire book in one week! I vlogged the whole process on my YouTube channel (Patrick Procrastinates Writing), my Instagram (@memesforwriters), and my TikTok (@memes4writers). Be sure to check those out if you want a behind the scenes on my writing process behind this project! I will continue to work on Europa, but I will not update this version as it shows what I was able to accomplish in the seven days of the challenge. Please let me know what you think (don't be afraid to be mean).
