Weaver's Knight ~ A Modern Fantasy Web Serial
Even after artist Alex Deleon found himself fighting an immortal for a woman he'd just met, he had no idea of the world – and life – that they were about to face together. Imbued with powers he'd only dreamed of and faced with nightmare conspiracies that surpass a fringe theorist's most paranoid delusions, Alex must learn how to confront what he's become and the reality he's faced with. He'd better do it fast, because those same conspiracies are after Sara Taylor – drifter, hero, witch, Weaver. Psychically wounded in a fight with a man even monsters fear, Sara retains an unparalleled power to conduct the forces of destiny, but little else. Together, they must find the strength to change her fate, and possibly, the world's. Because if they don't, a travesty among men waits in the shadows to make fate his own... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You can sign up for email alerts (http://peter-flanagan.com/majestic/list/), follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/PeterFlanagan9), Like my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/PeterFlanaganWriter), or follow Lorena on Tumblr (http://writerswife.tumblr.com/).

Y/N was known as one of the laziest neighbors in the neighborhood, often neglecting their responsibilities and preferring to lounge around all day. However, their mundane existence was turned upside down when their eyes snapped back to reality, and they realized that they didn't belong to this colorful world or have any role within their neighborhood. The sudden realization hit them hard, making them question their very existence. They felt like an outsider, lost in a world that was not their own. Confusion and curiosity overwhelmed them as they sought to unravel the mystery of their true origins.

Resurgence
WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24
Hiding From Light: A Beauty and the Beast Genderbend
14 in fairytaleretelling 10/23/22 Princess Luna of Yaquir angered the wrong person. Now she's doomed to be a beast, as ugly on the outside as she is within, unless she can find someone to love her. At first, with her curse, she thought of only one thing. Ashton. The one thing she wanted, but never got. It made her bitter. And now, she's paying the price. /// Brandon has never been like "the others." They turn to the latest forms of technology and entertainment, determined to make the most of every game and fad to come into their hands. All he really wants is a safe haven to turn the pages of a book, and the ability to lose himself in a world of fiction and others' problems. So when he finds out that libraries all over Yaquir are closing down due to decreased usage and an overabundance of E-books, and that his might be next, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He never dreamed he'd actually end up at a castle instead. Just as he never dreamed he'd become hopelessly stuck there either. This is a Beauty and the Beast genderbend, and the third book in the Light series. As with all of my books, it can be read as a standalone. It's rated PG-13 for language and violence. Updates will be every Saturday starting July 9Lengkap
