Set in the late 1870's and early 1880's. John Tunstall and the Regulators come across an injured young woman, unknowing of her reputation. John takes her under his wing, helping nurse her back to health. When John gets murdered, she joins Billy H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid, and the Regulators to get justice. But it soon becomes their own form of justice. However, the young woman's fiery personality often clashes with some of the Regulators, as they try to apprehend those who murdered Tunstall. Some of the Regulators don't trust her, others find her intriguing, though they all find her old occupation rather concerning. All that is, except for a chaotic blond who can't help but enjoy getting on her last nerve. Despite, the young fiery woman's attitude and temper, as well as the fact she could be quite dangerous and deadly at times, she continues to have their backs time and again... even if they do not have hers. A retelling of Young Guns. A historical fiction based in the old Wild West, complete with shootouts, gunfights, and saloons. Rated Mature for swearing and mild sexual themes and innuendos, blood, violence, and some mentions of abuse. Possible trigger warnings in later chapters.

| A WATTPAD FEATURED FANTASY NOVEL | "Just because you were ordinary there doesn't mean you have to be anything less than extraordinary here." That's the advice orphan Amira DeLante was given when she found herself caught accidentally in an alternate realm. Still unable to swallow her new reality, she found herself beginning to question her past, present, and future. *** From a geeky childhood to a lonely adulthood, all the 18 year old teenager knew was to keep her head down and complete her education, come what may. After accidentally teleporting herself into the Imperium Realm which was unlike any other fictional world she had read about, she was suddenly expected to keep the origin of her arrival a secret and fit into a crowd she thought she would never get along with. Everything seemed like happiness and sunshine on the outside, but she never expected that buried underneath all that goodwill were rotten secrets which would cause a catastrophe. And when past betrayals come to seek revenge on the injustice done to them, it's the younger generation who has to pay. If it seemed like being in a different realm wasn't a problem enough, Amira finds herself knee deep in a web of lies, unexplainable disasters, actual friends, and more magic than she can handle. It's safe to say that her life was never going to be the same. (Full synopsis inside in "Preface")

In a realm where nobody knows who to trust, the one constant in Lyrani Esch's life is her job as an agent for the Elven Council of Irylen Secret Intelligence (ECISI). It's easy enough to ignore the rumours about the villainy of the elf king Nash. People call it "The Curse of the Crown", but it's all hearsay. At least until Lyrani is assigned a mission to confront it. Her objectives are simple - get into Vlitavia Palace, gather intelligence on King Nash's operations, kill him and get out. But assignments are never as easy as they sound, and the stars are against Lyrani from the start. The deeper Lyrani delves into Nash's present, the more she learns of her past. With her startling discoveries comes the realisation that she must free Nash from a vicious trap or forfeit the realm and both their lives in the name of the curse. Because destinies entwined are never easily separated. Season 1 of A Sprinkle of Stardust WARNING: This story contains strong language and depictions of sexual assault that may be upsetting for some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
