    [ᴍᴀʟᴇ!ᴍᴀʟᴇғɪᴄᴇɴᴛ ғᴀɴғɪᴄ] What has basked in brilliance must one day learn the hush of shadows. What has danced in the light must also feel the cold embrace of the night. Equinox. A balance. Equal parts of light and dark. This is the story of a girl who lived her life in the sun's radiance, only to fall in the night's gentle insistence. This is the story of a fairy who lived his life brightly, only for it to be veiled by betrayal. So let us tell an old story anew, and we will see how well you know it. For even the brightest light can falter, even the warmest heart can grow bitter. But it's the return from those dark nights that matter. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~ (DISCLAIMER: I do not own Maleficent.

    She has spent her whole life being described as something smaller than she is. Fianna is fae royalty. Beautiful, watched, managed at every hour. The official record says her power is minor. Moderate. Traces only. They lied. When her sister's betrayal cracks something open that has been sleeping inside her for three centuries, the courts feel it. The palace feels it. And a man called Ronan feels it from six hundred miles away, standing at a fortress window above a grey sea. He has been looking for the possibility of her for ten years. She doesn't know that yet. What she knows is that two strangers have arrived in her palace. One cannot be trusted. The other rode through the night without being asked, without being sent, because what woke inside her is the most significant thing he has ever felt. And he has felt it her entire life without knowing her name. The old magic has been moving toward her bloodline for three centuries. It just arrived. She was hidden from herself her whole life. Now everything they sealed is breaking open.

And if the truth ever surfaces, it won't just cost them their careers. Then there's Ben Kennedy: a soulful rockstar who falls for the girl he thinks is just an assistant not knowing she's the voice behind the songs he loves most.

    What happens when a punk big-mouthed idiot gets stuck in between fantasy-land royals and all their insane drama? Alex has been dealing with idiots her entire life. Some might even say that's heroic, until, well, you factor in the fact that the majority of that "dealing" has been with her fists. Fists, and her favorite weapon of choice, her big-ass mouth. Yeah, Alex isn't exactly a people person, or an Earth person...so, what happens when she ends up in a new world? A world of monsters and harpies and werewolves...and the same annoying ass power hungry people?! UGH. Even worse. Princesses. No good, preppy, princesses. Alex is thinking about gagging already writing this in third person. Gagging and hating princesses, that is, until she discovers a very important someone. Someone who's been underestimated her entire life in this flashy, crystalline world. Someone that might be the key to getting Alex out of this royal armpit of sparkles and princesses. Someone that, with the help of Alex, could change things for good. AUTHOR'S NOTE: So, yeah, you're going to get a lot of these. Feel free to skip them though since they hold no spoilers or significance to the story, I just want you all to know how excited I am to finally share this! I've been working on this book a little over two years, and now that I'm in the final stages of editing, I'm looking forward to posting once or twice a week: Monday and friday. ALSO IMPORTANT: This is an original series, but please don't let that deter you from trying something new! My main inspirations for this book were Keeper Of The Lost Cities, Percy Jackson (*And The Olympians specifically), Fallen Kingdoms, and many more fantasy/mystery/other books like these. I've put my blood, sweat, tears, arm, legs, eyes, social security, and dignity DEEP into this bad boy, and I truly appreciate anyone willing to come along to the ride of my first full feature book. Thank you. Happy Christmas, merry Easter. GO READ NERD---

    Prima o poi arriverà per ognuno di noi quel momento della nostra vita in cui capiamo che l'amore e il dolore sono più vicini di quanto possa sembrare. Perchè? Perchè ogni cuore ha delle ferite causate da questo maledetto amore...quell'amore che non ha confini; quell'amore che ci viene proibito vivere. Esatto...per me quel momento è già arrivato. È arrivato quando ho capito che tu saresti stato quella favola che non avrei mai potuto vivere. Quell'eco di parole mai dette. Quelle carezze mai arrivate. Tu saresti stato il mio ''per sempre'' mancato.

    ʀᴇᴅ ʀɪᴅɪɴɢ ʜᴏᴏᴅ meets ꜱʜɪᴇʟᴅ ᴏꜰ ꜱᴘᴀʀʀᴏᴡꜱ in this romantic fantasy where a war widow is bound to a hardened enemy general and thrust into a wild land of unknown monsters. ------------------ After her husband's death on the battlefield, Rosafiere DeGraaf is sent back to the gilded halls of her parents' estate. When a royal decree binds former enemies together, Rosafiere is chosen to wed a man of Kharvos--a land of ancient forests and unforgiving people. Far away from everything she has ever known, Rosafiere must navigate a society with customs that challenge her own and beliefs she thought to be fairytales. Coswald Fitzgerald is not the husband she would have chosen. Gruff, sharp-tongued, and fiercely protective, he resents the political match as much as she does. His silences weigh as heavily as his words and the savage strength he keeps tightly leashed only makes him more difficult to understand. They clash at every turn, but somewhere between wary glances, barbed remarks, and reluctant acts of kindness, something far more dangerous begins to grow. Old enemies linger in the shadows, unwilling to accept the fragile peace. Whispers of strange creatures stalking the wilds grow louder. And within the walls of her new home, resentment simmers among those who see her as nothing more than a symbol of the enemy. Bound by duty, drawn together by something deeper, Rosafiere and Coswald must learn to trust one another in a world determined to tear them apart. Because in a land shaped by war and ruled by ancient traditions, loyalty is hard won, trust is dangerous, and the smallest touch may be the greatest risk of all.

    Lenore is a sphinx shifter. Rye is a monster hunter. The last thing either of them expected was to fall in love. Lenore doesn't like violence. She doesn't eat meat, or pick fights. But she's a sphinx, which is reason enough for anyone who learns her secret to think she's a bloodthirsty killer. So Lenore keeps to herself and her woods, intent to let the world go on without her. That is until he shows up. Rye is a hunter. There's nothing he hates more than the kin, and sphinxes especially, the vile creatures that killed his mother in front of him when he was just a boy. He's dedicated his life to avenging her death. And now he has a wounded sphinx in his sights. Nothing will stop him from making the kill... Enter Tarah and Marton Hastings, the dragon/human couple on a quest to save the world, one story at a time. They have a mission for the sphinx and the monster hunter, an unlikely paring that might just be perfect to stop the rogue group of hunters terrorizing humans and kin alike across Umrahs. Lenore and Rye reluctantly agree, and even more reluctantly set out together to see what might be done to keep their people safe. The journey they go on will shake them both to the core of who they are, and change their nation forever. (This is Book 2 in the Kingdoms of the Kin series, but can be read as a standalone. It does feature brief cameos and spoilers related to Book 1.)

    Neville Longbottom wasn't exactly sure how he managed to keep doing it. His random apparations to the muggle world weren't exactly a science, like herbology, even if they did seem to get him out of one sticky situation into another. Take the first time it happened, for example. That day Gran dropped him off Blackpool Pier to prove he wasn't a squib, was also the day an oblivious muggle girl watched a whole wizard materialize out of her garden sprinkler, and accidently discovered a fascinating world of magic in him she was never meant to fall in love with.

    In a world where fairy tales are not what they seem, a girl must become the monster to protect the ones she loves. When the blood moon rises, the wolf awakens-and no lamb is safe. A promise made in blood... a legacy of courage born from tragedy. But for Hazel, once the wolf knows her scent-there's no hiding forever. ✦𖦹✦❃✦𖦹✦❃✦𖦹✦ Hazel had always been the protector, the big sister to Ollie and her adoptive family sheep at Blueberryville. But when the wolf came, her world was painted in blood and loss. An ancient curse, a poisoned heart, and a witch's vengeance cast a long shadow over the village. Driven by a dying promise and a love that would not break, Hazel's innocence turned into grim resolve. Her path became haunted, stalked by yellow eyes and the ghost of a mother's lullaby. Unexplained maulings and brutal hunts under the blood moon began again. Homes were shattered-no mercy shown, only claw marks and the echo of a beast's growl. And Hazel soon realized the wolf wasn't just hunting... it was waiting for her. She would soon discover the truth behind the legend. A truth wearing a familiar face. A man with a cursed soul... one twisted by rage and regret. To hunt. To kill. To destroy. ✦𖦹✦❃✦𖦹✦❃✦𖦹✦ ⚠ Content Warning: animal death, child endangerment, graphic violence, blood/gore, intense peril, emotional trauma, and frightening scenes ⚠

    ​"I am the unwanted daughter of an Evil Queen, the student of a pirate, and the loyal queen of a demon. I was never meant to be loved; I was meant to be a weapon." ​Cassandra Vespera Mills was born in the shadow of a throne she never wanted. To her mother, Regina, she is a rebellious mirror of a past better left forgotten. To the Enchanted Forest, she is the "Hell-spawn" of the Queen. But to herself, she is simply a girl looking for a way out. ​When an argument with her mother pushes her to the edge, Cassandra flees the palace with nothing but a stolen spellbook and a handful of gold. Her escape leads her to the decks of the Jolly Roger and into the arms of the charming, revenge-driven Captain Hook. Under Killian Jones's tutelage, the princess dies and a pirate is born. ​But in Neverland, love is a liability. ​After a betrayal that leaves her heart as cold as the morning mist, Cassandra is abandoned on the shores of Peter Pan's island. Now, years later, the Dark Curse has broken, and the walls between worlds are falling. As Cassandra is pulled back into the remnants of the Enchanted Forest alongside the Savior and the mother who discarded her, she has only one goal: ​Revenge. ​Killian took her heart. Regina took her future. Now, Cassandra is coming to take everything they have left. ​Because in the game of villains and heroes, the one who has already lost everything is the most dangerous player of all.
