[A WATTPAD FEATURED FANTASY STORY]

Sascha Cavlacanti was alone. She had lost everything, and she never thought that her life would ever have meaning again. 

Until one night, she learns of the fabled Last Beacon, a highly sought-after power source. She is then thrown into a completely new world of adventure, danger, and discovery. 
On top of that, she is dropped into the middle of a feud between her companion Laurenz, and Decius, the man who she is told not to trust. 

In a dance of fates and secrets, Sascha must not only face her own fears, but the obstacles that await her in the world that she never thought she'd have the chance to explore.  




"You're so stupid," he hissed, glaring at her, "I wasn't going to let him kill you. I was going to let you go. But now, I might just have to kill you myself."





WARNING: This book contains mild/moderate violence and infrequent mentions of sexual harassment. Reader discretion is advised.

Sun's Shadow (Dusk Series - Book 3.5 Standalone - MxM) by AmeliaCrossGE
41 parts Complete Mature
Obsession is the height of passion, but what does one do when they find themselves enthralled with their enemy. Talamayas Sol loses his mother when he stumbles upon a mage in the deserts of his territory, and he is plunged into a despair he's never known. Stricken with grief, he imprisons the murderer and wipes out every last mage of the Song-a human supremacist mage family that had murdered his kind for nothing more than the joy of their extinction. Through his pain, Talamayas finds himself leaning on the man in his dungeons, be it only to torture him for the relief it grants. It was anger at first, but as he learns more about the circumstances of his mother's death and the terrors that fill Wren Song's nightmares, he is inescapably tethered to the man in his dungeons. Why can't he just kill Wren Song and move on with his life? What keeps him close to the mage and anxious when he leaves his side? Is there more to it than obsession and a need to crush the enemy of his past? If there is, what does that mean for him and his people? Take a step back to the start and follow Talamayas Sol and Wren song through their struggle in the deserts of the east. Learn just where their animosity began and how working together changes and shapes the hearts and minds of men grown in a time when violence was the only way forward. (This book is Standalone, but does reference events of the Dusk Trilogy) (Starts at the beginning of Dusk Trilogy, and Ends after it's completion)
A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira
77 parts Ongoing
[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

20 parts Complete Mature
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.

Book 1 & 2 | Sunday Updates "The world will return to the nothingness that it was birthed from if the truth is not unveiled." Guardian powers have been passed down for centuries, until they disappeared after a devastating war. Now, 50 years later the powers reappear in six unsuspecting youths who have their lives turned upside down in an instant. Faced with their newfound powers and the responsibilities that come with them, they learn that their world may very well be destroyed if they cannot stop the enemy who wishes to destroy it. Punished by the gods and locked away for centuries, a mysterious wizard escapes his confinement and plots to unleash hordes of demons on the mortal world. But it could all just be an elaborate ruse to cover up something more sinister brewing beneath the surface... See the worlds through the eyes of the young guardians as they embark on an epic, world-spanning journey to discover themselves, their powers and, above all, if they will be the ones to save their world or destroy it. But in a world where all is not as it seems, the guardians must tread carefully, or all hope may be lost... forever. "I enjoyed this book.
