Festival Of The Gods [OLD VERSION]
What would you do if, after getting drunk in a party and passing out somewhere you don't remember, you woke up in a cart that is pulled by a horse with two people speaking weird language and wearing white sheets over their bodies? You panic, obviously. Era never believed in Gods and magic. Why? Because it wasn't explained by scientists. She doesn't even change her view when she is thrown down the time hole and back to the ancient Greece -time when people believed in everything, especially Gods of the Olympus. But her talk of "Gods don't exist" lands her into a festival of the Gods - a festival where people marked by one of the Gods of the Olympus fight for their life by performing something sociated with the god that they represent. And she is supposed to survive when she is marked by the God of the Underworld himself. He goes by the name of Hades. 2# in Festival 2018/05/20 123# in Gods 2018/05/26 2# in Ancient Greece 2018/05/31 Cover by PhoenixOfStorysComplete
Sympathy for the Devil
*Trigger Warning* This book depicts suicide and mental illness. Some girls inherit their mother's eyes. Ellie Lucas inherited her demons. Seventeen-year-old Ellie has spent her whole life trying to understand the mother she lost - and trying even harder not to become her. After her mother's death, Ellie starts seeing things she can't explain. Grief, she tells herself. Then stress. Then something worse. Because the more she recognizes her mother's patterns inside her own mind, the more certain she becomes that whatever destroyed her mother is already waiting inside her, too. Then the impossible starts becoming real. A boy from her past reappears outside her therapist's building in Manhattan - knowing things he shouldn't, understanding her far too well, with something dark and hungry moving behind his eyes. Ellie wants answers. But answers are a dangerous thing. Curiosity killed the cat, after all. On the night of her eighteenth birthday, the car crash meant to end her life does something far worse instead - it wakes a curse that falls on every child born of a god. The Celtic gods let their bloodline come back from the dead. Not as a gift. As a debt. Girls return as banshees, boys as banhee, all of them bound in service to Ankou, the god of death himself. Ellie inherited a legacy of death. And death has rules. Rules she was never supposed to know - let alone break. But something is already moving beneath the veil. A god named Arawn is building an uprising in the dark. The Sluagh are hunting souls, the Book of Fates is being rewritten, and the boundary between the living and the dead is thinning by the hour. And every single death leads straight back to Ellie Lucas. Killian and Bennett will teach her what she has become. Neither of them can prepare her for what it will cost -or for the truth about the blood in her veins. Because the dead aren't always monsters. And the monsters aren't always evil. Sometimes the Devil is simply the one who understands you.Complete

The Dark Elf: The Return Of The Queen

Amidst a tale of love, magic and dragons, will Alexa find the answers she has been searching for, or is it already too late? Can she only pass her lifelong quest to her sons and in turn tie them to the same fate?Complete

Hades |Lesbian Version|
| A Wattpad Featured Story | Hades was well-cast to rule over the land of the dead. But what if Hades, the fearsome monarch of the Underworld was, in fact, a goddess? Everyone called her, 'Lord of the Dead' out of mockery since she prefers the company of women. She was considered an isolated and violent immortal, who loathed change and was easily given to a slow black rage like no others. But then everything changed when the dark goddess met the daughter of Demeter, Persephone. Now the tale of Hades and Persephone will be retold with a sprinkle of twists and turns. |LGBT content.
