- WATTYS LONGLISTED 2018 -

"As a child I was never scared of the dark or of the monsters that lurked under my bed. From a young age I have known exactly what wanders the streets at night; what preys on the ignorant. I know of the evil that plagues this world; wishing to destroy it. But there are also people who fight against that evil in an effort to protect human lives against the darkness.  

I know because I am one of them."

Zivena Kovač is a Guardian of Life: a powerful being hidden in modern society to protect humankind. But her life has been planned out for her by fate and by a power she never knew existed. She must understand Death to master Life but Zivena has more than destiny to struggle with. She must battle with who she is and who she is told to be but how can she do that when a monster is loose in New York City?

When Zivena meets Mictain Demir it's as if the world has finally begun to breathe again after eighteen years. Will they be able to set aside their vast differences to stop a killer? And will she be able to meet the expectations set by those around her or will Zivena watch her city and family burn?

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina
9 parts Ongoing Mature
FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--where death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains Mature Contents: gore, violence, and subtle depictions of abuse, substance use, and suicide.

Forsaken by the one person who was supposed to love her unconditionally, Red must brave the magic and monsters of the Wylds to find her true place in the world. ***** Plagued by a weak heart, Red is an outcast in the Blood Moon Pack, a tribe of savage wolf-shifters held together by two things: their fanatic worship of the Night Goddess, and the ashwood walls that keep the real monsters out. Everybody must pull their weight. Only the strong are permitted to survive... Hunter Callahan, son of the Blood Moon Alpha, is counted among the strongest. Only Red seems to sense the vulnerability lurking behind his arrogant mask. Only she can understand the compassion underlying his violence; the boy who took a beating as a child to spare a butterfly from having its wings clipped. She saw herself in that butterfly. She sees herself in him. And he can barely stand to look at her. ***** [65-70k words] Best Ranks: 13th in #Werewolf 1st in #paranormalromance, #quest, #goddess and #dragon 2nd in #magic Featured on the 2021 Wattys Shortlist.

[Watty's 2022 Shortlist!] In the City of Eternity, Nika's life is one of decadence and indulgence-especially in the Eastern Zone's Ruby District, where alcohol flows freely, desires are fulfilled, and the immortal roam without fear. For years, Nika has thrived in this world, avoiding the city's brewing unrest. But when hunger grips the supernatural factions due to failing vending machines, a revolution sparks, threatening to tear the city apart. The City of Eternity is divided into zones-vampires rule the East, werewolves claim the West, while humans are confined to the Northern and Southern districts. At its centre, a corrupt government maintains fragile control, but their hold is slipping as the city edges toward chaos. Nika wants no part in the rebellion. He has seen it all before-he fought in the first revolution that destroyed Barewood and shaped the city into what it is today. But this time, he cannot escape his fate. Bound by an ancient prophecy known only to a select few, Nika's role in the coming storm is crucial. Despite his desire to remain in the shadows, Nika is drawn into the heart of the conflict, where old alliances crumble and dangerous enemies emerge. As tensions between vampires, werewolves, and humans rise, Nika must decide: will he embrace his dark destiny and fight for the survival of the city he calls home?

⭐ FEATURED ⭐ 02/16/2018 Longlisted, Wattys 2018 ✅ COMPLETE Jocasta's nineteen years of peaceful existence in a little village of the Kingdom of Ontur blew up in pieces without much warning: Grandmother had a secret, an old pact with a mysterious man-a pact that, apparently, Jo and her new tagalongs - a flamboyant mage, a goofball knight pledge and a young alchemist-now had to take care of, thanks to the untimely death of the King of Ontur. A quest to find an ancient place, concealing an artifact of unmeasurable power and rumored to be deadly. And posthaste, before it falls into the wrong hands. That's something all grandmothers ask of their granddaughters sometime in their lifetime, right? And all that was at stake was the stability of the kingdom: no pressure. Set in a world where magic is vital, where mages are as equally feared and shunned as they're needed. A temporarily Kingless kingdom where vultures wait for the perfect time to take a plunge. A world where secrets and lies are as abundant, dangerous and necessary as magic. But something else brews in the Kingdom of Ontur: something bigger than Jocasta and her Grandmother's secrets. ⭐ 1st place in Fantasy, The Crystal Crown Awards 2017 || Highest ranking : #46 in Fantasy 03/04/2018 #writteninaction you can read a review here: https://www.wattpad.com/471550430-island-of-lost-toys-reviews-great-reads-for-the
