*Wattys Shortlisted!* A witch. A hunter. And a curse. ~*~ Theiden Guster hadn't intended to abandon his family. But after trying to kill the witch named Lenesa Evergreen, he ends up miles from home as her captive instead. High up in the mountains, the rules of the city no longer apply, and he is forced to face off against the wild and the weird, all the while looking for a chance to strike the witch down in a moment of weakness and make his escape. But the witch needs his help. A dark and vengeful presence is growing in the forest, thirsting for the blood of those in the city, and the witch hunters are preparing to cleanse the mountains in a brutal final attack. Lenesa knows there's not much hope for her ever-worsening condition, but is willing to do whatever it takes to bring peace back to the land and stop the bloodshed. If she's lucky, she'll be able to see the dawn of a new era before succumbing to her affliction. Yet with hardly a plan and very little time, the odds do not appear in her favor, and it seems each step she takes brings about more harm than good. ~*~Cover by TheHeraEra, who has a cover/icon/banner design book/shop if you'd like to inquire for one of your own stories. Thank you Hera!~*~

Abie is a Madren man living in Ckastia whose nationality makes it difficult to find work in a city still bitter from the war seventeen years ago. To care for his family, he accepts an offer to work as a testing subject for a mad witch who lives in a creepy tower. Maeva is a witch who hears voices in her head and needs an ordinary person to test her invented spells. To complete her work and protect others from her fate, she must hide the truth of her madness with the help of her sister. Natasha is a near identical copy of her witch sister if not for her complete lack of magic. To fulfill her greatest desire, she reaches out to a figure from Abie's past who appears to have a secret even darker than his tendency for black magic. In a desperate attempt to prevent a second war, the testing subject, the witch, and the sister must test the strength of their relationships as well as their own power to save the city of Portwenn in its darkest time. But as the truth emerges, even the power of the gods may not be enough to quell the rising tensions.

Roswehn is the niece of the Master of Laketown. After the Battle of the Five Armies, her life is going to change completely. Italian FF translated in English (please forgive the eventual mistakes 🙏🏻 ) 👉🏻Update 23/03/2021 : 30K views!!! Thank you!! 👈🏻🍾🍾🍾 FF inspired by the works of Tolkien, and by the movies of Peter Jackson. "I'm not accusing you of anything, I just asked you a question, for now, to which you answered with a lie." said Elrond. "You do not admit what everyone has understood, here, and I tell you what is offensive to me: that you reject the possibility of loving a woman just because she is human ... you forget that Aerin was born from mortals. And I loved her, I have had a wonderful daughter with her. " Thranduil looked at him annoyed. Elrond's accusations hurt him. "And where is your wife now?" he asked. Elrond got up from his chair. "You know where she is, she's dead." "She's ... dead, that's right." Thranduil repeated. "Is not this the fate of ... mortals?"

** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.
