      Parts 2
    Long ago, before the world had a name, a single wish was whispered into the darkness. No one remembers who made it. No one remembers what was wished for. Only that something answered. In a cold and sorrowful place, a young girl named Eloise Wren spends her days working among soot and ash, dreaming of a life beyond the walls that confine her. When she stumbles upon a strange and impossible secret, she is drawn into a world of forgotten things-lost dreams, sleeping stars, and ancient stories buried beneath the roots of creation itself. But some wishes are never truly gone. And something has been waiting a very long time to be remembered. A dark fairytale of wonder, mystery, and the hidden power of hope, The Mothmother and the Forgotten Wish is the first tale set in the world of Velherne, where every story begins with a wish... and every wish comes with a price.

    Everyone knows the Queen wanted Snow White dead. Few ask when she decided it-or how many choices it took to become that woman. Once, the Queen loved Snow. Then the mirror told her the truth. Snow White had surpassed her. The mirror gives no command. It offers no temptation and makes no threat. It simply answers the question it was asked. What happens next belongs entirely to the Queen. One decision becomes another. A Huntsman is sent into the forest. When that fails, delegation gives way to disguise. When one method fails, she studies why. Each survival teaches her something. Each failure makes the next attempt more deliberate. And somewhere beyond the Queen's sight, the girl she meant to destroy keeps surviving. The True Story of Snow White retells the familiar fairy tale entirely through the Queen's eyes-not as the story of a woman suddenly transformed into a monster, but of someone who repeatedly encounters the chance to stop and repeatedly chooses to continue. A fairy-tale retelling about envy, obsession, choice, and the terrifying difference between becoming more capable and becoming more right.

But now she thinks 'I'm following the plot, but the plot is veering off' (Even though she didn't read the novel... how could she know the plot? lol)

    "The people often joked the the next nobility of golden glen and frosted spires were too self aware to be called pigs ... they were more in line with smiling cattle this is often met with a rough sketch of a bovine holding back laughter while wearing a crown in documents over import statistics...the youth clearly thought that description was far too accurate and appreciated being compared to something that could pull a cart instead of something that is only good for meat production" One document even read "I've seen actual pigs at galas the people sadly have a better set of heads on their shoulders than who we bribe away" Charlemagne the royal sister that was assigned ahead of the history books of goldenglen wrote this herself in the margins along with another cow doodle of a dairy cow glancing down in a muddy pigglet that looked like it wanted to pick a fight with it in the barnyard this is why the peasantry like the princesses here... they assume the people beneath them are a *practical smart* *yes I am %100 throwing shade at the fat princess games with humility makes for tolerable nobility ....

      Parts 3
    Born of sea and steel, Mariana Beatrice Hook was never meant to belong to just one world. The daughter of Captain James Hook and a mermaid of the Neverland Lagoon, Mariana grows up caught between tides-raised among mermaids, pirates, and Lost Boys alike. But when a battle between Peter Pan and Captain Hook shatters the lagoon and steals her mother from her life, everything changes. Torn from the sea and taken aboard the Jolly Roger, Mariana's fate becomes entwined with the very war she never chose. Years later, when she leaves Neverland behind to claim a life of her own beyond its cruel rules, Mariana becomes something legend-worthy: a pirate in her own right, feared on the open seas and crowned by love on the mainland. Yet Neverland never truly lets go. When tragedy drives her back to the island of eternal youth, old wounds resurface-and a new one is carved deeper when her daughter vanishes without a trace. In a land where memory fades, childhood never ends, and consequences echo across generations, Pirate Princess is a story of legacy, loss, and a woman determined to defy the rules of Neverland itself.

Now, a dead fae keeps writing from a forest that seems to know more about her than she does. The moss knows her name. Her memories don't line up. And every page she fills brings her closer to the person she believes murdered her. There's only one problem. She remembers the ending wrong.

    [DE GERMAN WATTYS GRAND PRIZE WINNER & TOP 25 HISTORICAL AWARD 2023] *The perfect first mission for two inexperienced seekers: a small village in the middle of dark forests. Gruesome deaths and mysterious events. Kyle is a self-proclaimed Master of the Arcane Arts and his partner, Dr. Archer has a well-loaded revolver. So what could go wrong?* "Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. The world wants to be deceived; so let it be deceived!" Credo of the Order of Seekers London 1898. Where the summoning of spirits has become as normal as cricket and tennis, the boundaries between fantasy and reality are blurred. In high society, Occultism and membership in 'secret' lodges are the most fashionable thing in the world. A very exclusive group of this kind is the Order of the Seekers, which is dedicated to researching, concealing, and disguising the occurrences of the mysterious. Kyle Crowford and Dr. Benjamin Archer are newcomers to the Order, recent graduates of the initiation rite, and eager to embark on their first mission... until they find out that it will take them to the remote backlands in the middle of Dartmoor. In a world beyond the obvious, where magic can bend reality and nightmares can become true, the agents must face the mysteries surrounding the gruesome deaths in Dartmoor - ideally without becoming the next victims themselves. Because, alongside their secrets, there are unexpectedly dark abysses lurking in St. George. *** READING SAMPLE/EXCERPT - German Version is being published soon by VALMIS VERLAG *** GERMAN WATTYS 2022 GRAND PRIZE WINNER EDITORS PICK DE APRIL 2023 TOP 23 WATTPAD HISTORICAL AWARDS 18 x FEATURED ON OFFICIAL WATTPAD PROFILES**

    Two kingdoms, separated only by the Glass River. Concealed from each other by fog and myth, rumors and deceit, until a boy with no past meets a girl with no future. Addalynne Troyer has never seen the hellions or the magic that are rumored to exist just beyond the Glass River. Her life is confined to the kingdom of Silveria, where normalcy is valued and the fear of the unknown is shadowed by warnings and restrictions. Determined to see the truth, Addalynne secretly takes watch, staring into the ever present fog that lingers along the southern bank of the river; a thin veil between Silveria and the forbidden kingdom of Incarnadine. Just as Addalynne is beginning to fear she will never learn the truth, a boy steps through the fog, his hands coated in blood. Drake brings with him a mystery enshroud in darkness, his past forgotten and seemingly lost. And though Addalynne knows he crossed the river from Incarnadine, she holds that truth inside her, afraid that if it comes out, she could lose him forever. As the years pass, Addalynne and Drake find themselves tangled in a love that is unrelenting. But they must battle against a fate that seems determined to keep them apart. With the impending war between the kingdoms brewing, Addalynne and Drake will soon discover they are much more than mere pawns in the game of power. They try to find hope, to find a way out of the chaos that is unfolding around them, but what do you do when saving the person you love means destroying them?

    A Disjointed Parade of Peculiar Mishaps and Mildly Concerning Happenings This is not a book for people seeking wisdom, closure, or anything remotely useful. Inside, you'll find stories that go nowhere fast, characters who make questionable choices with great confidence, and endings that trip over themselves and land face-first in a puddle of ambiguity. A boy befriends a teacup that may be sentient (but mostly just screams). A princess trades her crown for a moderately sized sandwich. A quest is abandoned halfway through because someone forgot to pack snacks. These tales are short-mercifully so. They're odd. They're inconvenient. They're barely stories at all. But they are, for better or worse, here. So if you've ever wanted to read the literary equivalent of a crooked painting falling off the wall in slow motion-this is your moment.
