With Kellan and Jaxon battling for her attention, their crazy love triangle draws Wren into a hidden world she never dreamed possible. Unlocking the mystery of her lost memories, mystical tattoos and unusual abilities are only the beginning of her being able to unravel her past to find out who she really is.

SUMMARY Within moments of stepping in the front door of her new school, Wren stumbles into Kellan one of the hottest guys she's ever seen, only to meet his fiery rival Jaxon later the same morning. It's obvious that both guys seem to hate each other for no apparent reason and have somehow decided to pull Wren into their little war against each other. Since the accident three years ago, her memories have been lost and her nights plagued with the same recurring dream of having to flee leaving everyone she loves behind. She can't help but wonder if there's more to who she is with her repeating dreams, mystical tattoos and unusual abilities. The reality is--time has run out, and her past has finally caught up with her. She needs to piece together her missing memories now if she wants the right to claim a future with love. *** Copyright © 2015-2016 by @The3Dreamers All rights reserved.

❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first season Chosen One awards ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021

"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites.

He was also the youngest alpha in the states after taking down his ruthless dictator of a father. He was rude, cold, thoughtless, smart, and her mate. Korali just floated by, she would let her destiny find her rather than going to search for it, like most people her age.

And the one he did trust definitely wasn't her. This is the story of when two worlds collide in an unwilling fashion. Sparks or flames, either way it would end in fire. Cover by: @anaesthetics-
