How many times have they wished to disappear beneath the floor boards? How many times have their pleas gone unanswered? More than Valerie could ever hope to remember, that's for sure. In a home where abuse is rampant, the only place to hide is in the closet, and it is the closest thing to a sanctuary left to them. "Alona, don't make a sound," Val whispered against her sister's hair, "If we play the game well and not get found, then we may win a prize. Wouldn't that be lovely?" Her younger sister nodded animatedly. Valerie just didn't have the heart to tell her the prize was not getting found. Will they always have to hide in fear like this, or will there be an escape they can finally find beyond their father's wrath? All characters and elements of the story are my own creations and there by owned by me. This story will contain sensitive materials and mature elements. You have been warned, and thank you for reading.

Once a powerful and celebrated witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death, she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all-of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again-and if so, what price must she pay? The Exile is the first book in a slow-burn tragic romantic fantasy series. It is a quiet story about two people who were never meant to meet, finding each other in the unlikeliest of places. Warning: The world of The Stormcrow Cycle is dark and rather grim; most civilizations practice slavery and all its abuses. Please mind the "Mature Content" tag. I do not include individual trigger warnings, but you can expect everything typical of a Greco-Roman-inspired society going forward. Book I is a quiet romance with a HFN. Book II ventures into more traditional fantasy territory. Please note this series is a tragedy, not an industry romantasy or romance. Book I is currently being edited for Kindle release. The series is on hiatus, but not dead! Please note that the series will not update on Wattpad once out of hiatus! Please follow me on Royal Road or Scribble Hub for story updates!

-Ambys Favourite Paranormal Novel 2024- - Winner of the Tricolor Triennial Awards Paranormal 2023 - Keeping her true nature hidden was supposed to be simple. Go to work, pay taxes, don't eat too many humans. Easy enough. But when Celandine Doukas crosses paths with the Supernatural Council's head of mysteries, and a necromancer with godlike ambitions, secrecy goes up in smoke. As tensions escalate and suspicion grows, Celandine finds herself drawn to the secretive Druid Leofstan, who is unafraid to challenge her facade and leave her grappling with the consequences of her actions. The only hope she has of proving her innocence is to hunt the true creature lurking within the darkness, but it's about to find out Celandine's claws are a lot sharper. Luckily, she isn't afraid to leave a few more bodies along the way, as being diabolical is deliciously delightful...

A comfort meant for all those unsuspecting victims of the sickness. -------------------------------------------------- The highest rankings: #19 in infection #40 in disaster #40 in infected #67 in disease #46 in zombieoutbreak
