The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

Lost in the pain of his past, Leif is about to face the biggest challenge yet, can he save her from herself and can he save the world from her.

She's more lethal than she seems. An intoxicating beauty that entrances her seducers with the sweetest soprano's note, so sweet like honey. Honey that traps its prey. Though she's no angel she wishes for love a love too far away too far from reach . . . ~My poetry starts off angelic and sweet, but then turns bitter and dark.~ Side note: the darker poems are better 🖤 __________________________ {Highest Rankings: } #76 in poems 2018-12-7 #5 in sirens 2018-31-7 #33 in sea 2018-3-9 #1 in thesiren 2020-15-11 #1 in oceans 2021-21-5 #17 in sadpoems 2021-21-5 #39 in poetry 2021-21-5 Author: @Midnight_Phantom18 ©copyright 2020 Cover art by: @cool_reader_ ____________________________ What readers are saying: @taya_0 - im literally getting butterflies, your writing is that amazing !!! @August_Parker - I'm having difficulty in choosing which one is my favourite in this book CAUSE ALL THE POEMS ARE AWESOME @Szanuka - I have read it all so fast with such feelings...

They are based on a theme and you follow it perfectly. The use of literary devices in your poems never fails to astound me. Those metaphors, those repetitions, those whispers. I feel like your poems whisper and giggle in my ear, which is amazing because it is not very often that I like a poem.

real raw emotions from my younger years. Please leave a comment on your thoughts good or bad, just starting to put my writings out there would love opinions.

For shop girl Evin, alchemy is an understood part of life. She learned how to brew superior potions at a young age and can't imagine her life without the use of Alertness, For General Pain, and Menstrual Cramp Cure. Though already apprenticed to a local master alchemist, she can't help feeling that there might be more for her to achieve. In a different part of the continent, Master Bricot teaches alchemy at the University of Craestor and is working feverishly at his residency project--translating the sacred document The Facerum--when a student of his approaches him seeking help on an unprecedented issue. And south of Craestor in Daitak Capital, the Seat of the World, Emperor Regent Bryn Beynon can't stand potions or those who make and sell them, believing their use, especially martially, to be barbaric and cruel. His first act when coming of age will be to begin imposing legal strictures on the use and sale of such items. Out in the Wilds of Tief, Craix, who travels alone, has never been safe. Not since she was born. Forever trying to evade her pursuers, she travels across the country, constantly intercepting important messages. And over all people in the realm of Heladrith, a pantheon of powerful gods sits in judgement and benevolence, silent for centuries--but not for much longer. Potent is an original, third-person omniscient, past-tense, low fantasy tale with an ensemble cast of approximately eight characters of different genders, orientations, colors, and classes. --Seeking beta readers for this manuscript!
