...Cursed... 
She has been cursed since the day she first bled.
...:....:....

        Daireann or as her family calls her 'Rea' has been cursed ever since she became a woman. Rea is cursed with what the villagers call ' Thick Flesh'.  Starting from her ankle, puckered flesh resembling scales trails up her legs and marks her as a freak. 
        With her brother Iian gone, the only one who protected her from their evil Uncle, Rea is left to face the worst punishment. A slave to the Gods... up at the Monastery on top of the cliff. 
  

....Sheltered..... 

       Through the walls of the monastery is the thick mist of deprivation. The elder priests and the servants are cold and seem to have no personality outside the crumbling walls. No person ever sent to the monastery has ever came back.  They've either wasted away or jumped to their demise to the cruel and unforgiving seas below. 

The Seas..... 

         Kai had spent his life luxuriously for the past few centuries. Wars brought down ships into his deep and dark unsought underbelly of the sea which was his domain.  Kai claiming the riches in his dark twisted fashion. He, however, felt empty.... and so, so very lost.
          He the forgotten god who's selfishness lost the entire kingdom of the sea to his younger brother Kon. 
           Through his jealousy he claimed which was his brothers right. A human girl who'm his brother had set his sights on. A girl who watched the waves as she grew into womanhood. A girl which would change him in her dying breath. 



This is the story of forgotten gods and cursed love.

Curse of the Stars Book 1 by AprilCalderwood
39 parts Complete Mature
"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?
Dirty Hands- The City Of Whisperers by krixie_vold
11 parts Ongoing
The last time Kaia saw her mother, she was nothing more than a pale shadow of the vibrant woman who had once been the heart of their kingdom. Her mother's breath came in shallow, labored gasps, the sickness claiming her slowly, piece by piece. But it was the words her mother spoke before her final breath that Kaia would carry with her forever. "The world is not as it seems, my love. Trust in yourself. Trust in the wind." Kaia didn't understand them then, but she would-soon enough. Her kingdom, once a land of magic and power, was falling apart. In the days before, the whispers had started. The sound of the earth, the wind, and the water; forces long ignored were now seen as a threat. Whisperers, beings like Kaia, who could bend the elements to their will, were hunted, sold, and killed like animals. But the true collapse of everything came after her mother's death. Her father, once a proud ruler, crumbled under the weight of his own guilt. And Kaia, filled with grief and rage, ran. She couldn't bear to stay any longer, not in the ashes of a kingdom that no longer cared for its people-or its whisperers. It was in her flight that she was taken. Abducted by the Rahibils, the hunters of the unspoken kind, who dealt in stolen souls. And in that dark, suffocating world of cages and chains, she met Reez-a stranger with eyes as sharp as the blade he wielded, and a heart hardened by the same cruel fate. They would be each other's strength in the days to come, as they plotted escape, and as Kaia learned the true meaning of freedom. But freedom, she would soon learn, came at a price higher than she could have ever imagined. The world was not as it seemed. She would find out soon enough just how deep the darkness went, and how far she was willing to go to uncover the truth. But only if she doesn't get herself killed first.
Changing Fate The Saga by Helio_Haemi
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Three childhood best friends, bound by an unbreakable bond yet shackled by a generations-old curse, find themselves racing against time and fate. Their families, once loyal members of an ancient and secretive order known as The Circle, betrayed its sacred oath, and for that treachery, a terrible curse was cast upon their bloodlines. Now, each of them faces a grim destiny-if they fall in love, they will either meet their demise upon reaching the age of twenty-five or suffer the ultimate heartbreak by being betrayed by the person they cherish most. As they step closer to their inevitable fates, the echoes of their ancestors' mistakes loom large, threatening to consume them in a cycle of pain and loss that has repeated for centuries. But unlike those who came before, they are determined to fight back. Refusing to be pawns of an ancient vengeance, they embark on a desperate quest to uncover the truth behind the curse and seek out the elusive secrets that might offer them salvation. However, breaking the curse won't be easy. With shadowy forces working to ensure history repeats itself, they must navigate treacherous betrayals, buried secrets, and their own deepening feelings for those they dare not love. As their twenty-fifth birthdays draw closer, tension rises, and the weight of their choices becomes heavier than ever. Will they defy fate and shatter the curse that has plagued their bloodlines for centuries? Or will they succumb to the same tragic end that befell their ancestors, lost to the darkness of love and betrayal? Only time will tell if they have the strength to rewrite their destinies-or if they are doomed to fall like all those before them.

24 parts Complete Mature
[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.
