Izalia Lex. A normal girl who lives a rather normal life, surrounded by normal people. Everything seems to be going... well, normally. Until, of course, one day, it doesn't go normally. In fact, it goes quite the opposite. Izalia, who once led a life filled with family and friends now finds herself in a rather troublesome predicament: She is mysteriously taken too soon from her former life and comes face to face with the one and only Death, a sarcastic, uncaring being that loves fun and games. But her life is anything but a game. She must go back in time to find out what happened and how she died. And not being able to remember anything doesn't help at all. She must retrace her steps and figure out why she died before she was supposed to. Did she have a disease? Was there an accident? Was she murdered? Sacrifices must be made as she rethinks her past and everything about her life is flipped upside down. Will she be able to recapture her death? Figure out the why's and how's? Or will she forever cease to exist? As that is the ultimate price she must pay if she fails. [stunning cover by the wonderful @terraxxa !!]

[Wattpad Featured Story: Fantasy Hidden Gems] When we were children they whispered about beasts that hid amongst the shifting dunes, dark things with sharp teeth and loud howls and an insatiable thirst. Animals that gutted their prey and left intestines rotting in the sun and bones sprawled out across dried riverbeds. We listened with rapt attention and shivered despite the searing desert heat. But I'm not a child anymore, and I know better. The sand-dusted coyotes, the sleepy vipers-they're just animals, dumb and slow. I've met the real beast of the dunes, and he's nothing like they say. He wears the skin of a man, and the silks of a noble, and spins lies with a silver tongue sharp enough to make the earth bleed... And he holds my life in his blood-stained hands.

Don't show fear. Don't attract attention. Don't forget who the monsters are. Those are seventeen-year-old Janneke's three rules to surviving in the Permafrost. Her family is dead, her village burned to the ground, and now she's a slave in a court of merciless goblins. Though her master, Soren, offers her a small sphere of protection, it comes at the cost of abandoning humanity and their ways for good. When the Goblin King is defeated in a fight, it ignites an ancient competition to become the next King. The goal is simple: kill the sacred White Stag before the other goblins kill you. Soren sees it as the perfect opportunity to shape Janneke's acceptance of the goblins' way and give in to the hatred and violence festering inside of her. Janneke's only hope for survival is to outrun, outfight, and out-kill every creature in her path, all the while dealing with Soren, whose fierce desire for her to be a goblin is shadowed by his fascination for her human heart. Hunting the Stag is Janneke's best chance at revenge over those who enslaved her, but to succeed, she'll have to watch her humanity bleed out like the creatures she's sworn to kill. **CREDIT FOR THE WONDERFUL COVER GOES TO @seventhstar *** ***COMPLETED.
