Once upon a time, she found a god in the garden, humming to the roses as if they were alive. "What do you want?" he asked, tipping his hat full of stars. "A little happiness," she said, and offered her hand. He took it gently, like you would a butterfly, and tucked her heartbeat into his pocket. "Don't worry," he whispered, and the roses shivered. "I'll keep it safe forever."

Maygest, an old thief, who has been conning people for the last decade, finds his way of life extinguished when the tyrannical Lords of Osskrip join forces and destroy all the fugitive enclaves, the only places people are allowed to be people. With no place to go and fearing that death may be near, Maygest sets off in search of a mythical harp that is said will bring peace to the land in a last-ditch effort to redeem himself before he dies. The problem is, the harp only seems to exist in his mind. Testimonials: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Maygest's Tale is a groundbreaking subversion of the classic hero's cycle. It explores the life and past of the wise mentor in an emotional and beautiful way, while simultaneously giving the reader a thrilling plot full of twists and turns. Well done!" - MorganaLester ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This book was outstanding! All the quirky characters and places melded seamlessly with the deep emotional pulls of the story, in such a way to keep you deeply interested in following until the end. I was more than once left gasping, crying, and laughing. Maygest is a kind of hero that we don't see enough of, and that goes for the rest of the cast, as well. The characters feel diverse, alive and they are all so entertaining. In my mind, it was and is an evolution of fantasy that the genre needs, containing the perfect mix of all the things I love about the genre, and new ideas executed with perfection. It's a satisfying, humorous, gripping, and emotional read from start to finish. ❤️❤️" - Fardariesmai97 #1 in Harp (lol) 8th -- 12th Oct 2020

Acting normal is not the same as being normal. No one knows that truth better than Suthe Montikwe. Born with the unlucky genes of a distant druith ancestor, she's had to hide her talents in order not to be outcast by society. Her strategy is to smile, keep quiet, and work hard. While that method may keep her safe, it's also alienated her from her neighbors and friends, and the worry that she may be discovered is never far from her thoughts. When her country sends out a warrant to capture anyone who practices magic, Suthe is forced to seek refuge elsewhere, all the while wondering at the sudden proclamation. Why has the government taken an interest in her, and when will she be able to return home? Unsatisfied with her lack of answers, Suthe decides to investigate. But the more she looks, the deeper she gets herself into trouble, and she comes to realize that this mystery does not involve her country alone. The threat of war looms on the horizon, and Suthe will need to put her trust in the strangers she meets, including a dangerous spy wanted for the betrayal of his own country. But most importantly, Suthe will need to trust herself, and her abilities, if she ever wants to see home again. ~*~Current cover by Amanda-Mae ~*~ ~*~Previous cover by italychick~*~

Her presence was accentuated by the sharpness of her elongated nails and the elegance of her pointed chin, which contributed to her exquisitely defined jawline. With every step she took, her ears twitched as if attuned to the secrets whispered by the surrounding wilderness, while her nimble fingers gracefully brushed aside any obstructing vegetation that dared to cross her path. And as she fluttered her enchanting eyelashes, Calvin couldn't help but be drawn to the mesmerizing juxtaposition before him-a single eye possessed a clarity of light blue, while its counterpart exuded an enigmatic mist of ethereal purple, a sight that held a spellbinding mystery all its own. The pixies' delicate movements came to a sudden halt, their bodies dropping gracefully to the forest floor. Heads bowed, they paid homage to the figure that had captured their attention. The music that had filled the air moments ago ceased, leaving only the soft sound of liquid dripping from the glistening foliage. It was the pixie queen who had arrived.

Charlie Hill was a perfectly normal sixteen year old boy - if you consider being in the closet and dealing with crippling social anxiety 'normal' - until he managed to stop a bullet with his bare hands. Confused and afraid, Charlie struggles to gain control of his newfound abilities and, as a result, he is sent to Merlinian Preparatory School - the leading institution for the tuition of young sorcerers. Now, instead of learning Math and English, Charlie has to learn to control his unruly magic, all the while dealing with students who think he doesn't belong there and trying to hide his unwanted feelings for a particularly attractive fellow sorcerer that threaten to make him even more of an outcast than he already is. Magic, as it turns out, isn't as much fun as it seems. ----- Wattpad Featured Book: 'Something Wicked' - October 2019 1st Place in The Blue Rose Awards: Teen Fiction - July 2019 2nd Place in The Creative Minds Awards 2018: Teen Fiction

What happens when you experience something that brings into question all you know about the world in which you live? Something that eats away at the already-frayed notions many of us have about what is true and what is not true? About what is possible and what is impossible? For Alice Caitlyn (Kate Johnson what was), the past year already had delivered a healthy dose of body blows. One would have thought a chance encounter with a handsome schoolmate from years gone by would have augured well for things to come. But when was Fate ever so easy or so generous? This is a story about the world in which we live and how we come to know it and to understand it. It's a story about chance and circumstance, one that might even be a little funny. (But let's not get too carried away on that note.) Most important, it's a story about friendship and love, those two states the absence of which make life and its vagaries scarce worth pondering.
