When Jonathan's wife dies in childbirth to his only child and daughter, he fears its the end of the line for his family business, as no girl has ever done farriery on island before. As a desperate attempt to save Windmill's, he trains his daughter to shoe by his side.
But as his daughter grows, Jonathan finds it harder to protect his family business from the opposing views of the Island and his family.
Follow Sparrow on her quest to become the first female farrier of her island, and to fight those who dont believe in her.

Robyn and the Hoodettes #JustWriteIt #FreshStart
The legend got it wrong, this is the real story: Robyn wasn't a boy, he was a feisty she, and she was brilliant. Marion was the blacksmith, and a mighty fine lad he was. (Did you know Marion used to be a very popular boy's name until about the 1920s? It meant 'son of Mary'). The gang's all here - Joan from Littleton, Ellen A'Dale, Will (who turns bright red around horses, because he's allergic), Madge Miller, and Robyn's Mum, who is always saying 'tie your frock, come on tuck, tuck.' This is a complete novel, work based on the legend. Enjoy!Complete

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest.

The chapter introduces Princess Annabeth Agreste, who struggles with her royal duties and expectations. Meanwhile, Lord Hermes, a trusted ally of the King, returns with his nephew, Prince Perseus, from the tribe of Iceni, seeking the King's counsel on urgent matters.

She is approached by her advisor, Alya, about a group of travelers being attacked by bandits near their settlement *Viewer discretion is advised* this is a fanfiction and as such it will be AU, and characters may appear out of character to fit the vision that I have. I only own the OC'S.
