Thirty-Four has been awaiting his Pelt all his life. All across the wolf world of Sylvera, others wield magic of all kinds, and he longs for the ability to channel his own power. All around him, mysteries begin to unfold. With eyes watching from the shadows and secrets kept just out of reach, he feels more helpless than ever. Until, in one single night, everything changes. His Pelt arrives, but with it comes a rising darkness, one torn right from the ancient stories. And he is not as different from it as he thought. With the fate of the world thrust into his paws, Thirty-Four finds himself fighting for survival, as well as struggling to control his new power. With few allies and trust hard to come by, he can barely identify which side is the true enemy. Perhaps he would have been better off remaining Peltless. -☽༓☾- {Book One of the Wylfven Trilogy} [amazing cover by @StormRidden] - First place in fantasy category of The Dream Awards - Third place in fantasy category of The Flames Awards - Winner of the Flawed Hero category (with Thirty-Four) of the SLink Awards: Character Edition ~ COMPLETED ~ ~ rewrite ongoing offline ~

*COMPLETED!* Cover by @sandsmark Currently being EDITED. 1st Place Winner of The Chaos Awards 3: Romance 4/26/2018 "Can't you give me a break, Austin?" Angie snapped, as the graffiti covered trains roared by. "What do you see in me, anyway? I'm like any other black girl on the street!" "You really want to know what I see in you, Angela?" Austin spoke up. "I see a woman, a beautiful, smart, caring woman, with a fine sense of humor and with a good soul. That's what set you apart from all other women, not just black women that I have crossed paths with in my lifetime," he said. Tears threatened to form in Angie's eyes at his words. "I also see a woman who's been hurt so many times, that she's afraid to be close to the source," Austin continued. "Well, I'll have you know, Austin, that I am a grown woman, I'm not afraid of anything," Angie retorted with bravado. "Oh? So then why do you keep pushing me away?" Austin asked coldly. "Why can't you let me love you?" ****************************************************************************************** Set in New York City in the early 1980s, college graduate Angie Carver meets young, handsome plumbing trainee Austin Phillips on the bus. Sparks fly, and eventually they fall in love. Austin is head over heels in love with Angie. While Angie loves him too, it's hard for her to reciprocate that love, the reasons being that Austin is a little younger than she is, and most importantly, their skin color, as Austin is white and Angie is black, causing strong disapproval from her overbearing mother, a jealous ex lurking around, and an ignorant "best friend" who doesn't understand. Will Austin and Angie rise above or will their love crumble before it begins?

Magic is to be feared. It is a wild, unpredictable thing, and anywhere it goes it brings mayhem and destruction. Those that wield it are even more dangerous. At least, that's what King Soren claimed when he hunted down and killed nearly every magic-user in Eldernia. The only ones he spared were sworn into Soren's service as elite agents that have one purpose, and one purpose only--find any remaining magic-users and give them a choice. Join the Valkir . . . or die. Asher, a sixteen-year-old boy, has managed to conceal his power for years. But when his secret is revealed, there will be no more hiding. || Winner of the 2020 Sinne Awards || || Third place in the 2020 Black and Gold Flames Awards - Fantasy || The fabulous cover is from @-designdistrict !

Desperate to unlock its secrets, he accepts it as the promise of something greater. Until the day a thief snatches the book out from under him. In an effort to get it back, Tobias is thrust out into the dangerous world beyond the comfort of his home.
