"Beware that when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...For when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you."  -Nietzsche

"I now have a heart strong enough to withstand pain. And a mind strong enough to save myself. In answer to my wish, I have the heart of a monster."

HE WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING: FIGHT EVIL. BUT WHAT IF HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH SIDE TO FIGHT FOR?

Sordlen has lived in peace for two decades, until the sorceress Mara awakens. Being declared a monster, she has chosen to live up to her name. Will she be be able to rise above her villainous desires or remain the monster everyone tells her she is?

Unable to fight against Mara's enchantments, Jack finds himself betraying his own village for a cause he doesn't fully understand. He becomes torn between whose cause to fight for. The one thing that keeps him fighting to do the right thing is his fiancé Sylvie. But what is the right thing?

When Sordlen is attacked, Sylvie is forced to flee to the nearby city of Eram along with Liam, her newly appointed guardian. When Jack never rejoins them, she assumes the worst-that he had been killed. When they are finally reunited months later, she discovers his fate to be worse than imagined: he hadn't been killed; he was the reason others had been.

In the midst of a looming war, Jack must discover where his loyalties lie, before he loses the chance to be a part of either side. What had begun as an honest quest to help Mara find her heart has turned into a struggle for Jack to maintain his honor as the ultimate traitor while deciding what he believes in. As Jack begins to realize Mara may have been unfairly branded a monster, he questions he may be on the wrong side.

Monster is a tale that delves into the nature of good and evil. What decides who is the hero and who is the villain?

IRON HAND (BOOK ONE): FOR THE GREATER GOOD by LowHale
31 parts Ongoing Mature
"Iron Hand" begins in the throes of what most stories would consider the final battle. Buren, leading the "Seekers of the Artifact," utilizes the power of the Gauntlet, an ancient artifact for which he sacrificed his own arm and triumphs over the dark lord, ending the undead scourge plaguing the lands. Without a foe to unify them, the alliance of various racial, religious, and political factions begins to unravel. Reluctant negotiations result in an uneasy peace that leaves many dissatisfied, especially Buren. Now feared and distrusted for the power of the Gauntlet, Buren finds no respite. Dark visions he believes to be warnings from the Gauntlet haunt his dreams. However, his fears are dismissed as the delusions of a war-weary mind. Determined to confront this new threat, Buren follows his visions to an ancient mountain, located within the sacred grounds of the Dryads. The distrustful Dryads deny him access. Out of options, Buren infiltrates the Faith, a fanatical human supremacist religious order, becoming their enforcer, their "Iron Hand." As Buren travels, we delve into the backstories of the "Seekers of the Artifact," witnessing his navigation through a treacherous web of intrigue where trust is a luxury he cannot afford. The realm suffers under a despotic king, with whom Buren must ally on the surface, while secretly plotting his downfall. The situation is further complicated by his arranged marriage to a woman harboring her own dark secrets. Literary heroes sacrifice everything for others, but what happens when saving the world requires sacrifices from everyone? When do the ends cease to justify the means?. What if saving the world involves sacrificing innocents, betraying loved ones, and allying with despised enemies? "Iron Hand" is a story of a man who gave everything to save the world once and is now prepared to do so again, even if it means crossing lines he never thought he would. But will he still be hailed as a hero?

[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.
