The Unnamed Blade (Book Two of The Horns of Elfland)
This is Book Two of The Horns of Elfland. (Book One, The Unknown Quest, is available in full here on Wattpad). The Journey has begun. Winter is coming (apologies to Game of Thrones, but it's just that time of the year!) Tragedy strikes in the Elves' first real contact with a servant of the Evil One as they cross the ford of the great river Afn on Mons Dei, leaving Farinka devastated; it takes many months for her to come back out of her shell. The Elves are "adopted" by a wild child and a wolf pup, Kaaia and Kin, who travel with them to the Western Mountains and the Hidden Valley. The Western dragons take the six senior Elves south to recover Miirshekaar's Blade, but Hlammaeth will not let Nemeth keep it until after they reach adulthood; he tells Nemeth that Tarke has a decision to make first. The time in the Hidden Valley brings to light a wholly new side to Farinka.Complete
History's Shadow I: Legends Born (Tahir Edition) #Wattys2014
England: circa 1310 A.D. Few are blessed with the burden of foresight. Few could feel the wind changing, or see the skies darkening; a storm was brewing. For centuries, those with magic and those without lived together in relative peace. Alas, all good things must eventually come to an end. Twelve sorcerers, condemned to centuries of slumber, would soon awaken. During a time of religious reign, their awakening would be the catalyst that turned man against magic forever. So would begin the witch hunt, the slaughtering of magical creatures once awed. Some would perish; most would hide. Others would build an army in retaliation and the world would be at full out war. All this, with the threat of a dark cult hellbent on resurrecting the one being that should not be resurrected ever looming. Indeed, dark times lie ahead. It has been said: “A man does not become great by having it easy; it is adversity that pushes him to greatness.” If that were true, then Tahir and his companions had enough adversity to become some of the greatest people ever to live. This is their story.Complete

The Chosen One
Women in her village are expected to clean and cook, while the men and other boys are praised for their mighty hunting skills and swordsmanship. Females are seen as uncapable, a liability, while males are seen as strong and talented. Being that only males can bestow honor among their families if chosen to become a dragon rider or magic wielder, Rose is determined to overcome the stereotypes. Vera 'Rose' Wellington has always been different. Being abandoned on the doorstep in the orphanage in Trinity Stone village, she has not had the easiest beginning. But, her appearance is what draws in others. Her aura is so powerful, it makes you want to respect her and follow her lead.

What happens when she is among the chosen?

So Lana's surprised to learn she's the bodyguard for one such wealthy heiress. Virre Averten lives up to her fearsome reputation, despite only recently inheriting her fortune at twenty-three. Harsh and cold-hearted, Virre hoards water's magic just as much as her family's trade secrets, and she throws Lana back into her employment to protect them all. Lana has no idea how she tolerated the woman, but she's certain it was for a good reason. For instance, gaining access to the most exclusive events in the city. Thanks to each extravagant gala and lavish feast, Lana dissolves not only the facade of the wealthy, but that of Virre as well. Except she's not the only one fishing for secrets. With their enemies closing in and the world's magic running dry, the women must work together to reveal the truth before they, and all the water, burn for good. 🜄 INCLUDES ✓ Sapphic bodyguard-heiress romance ✓ Magical fight scenes ✓ Environmentalism and sociopolitical commentary ✓ Secret spy stuff ONC 2025 LONGLISTER Word Count: +39k Genres: High Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Romance Written: 05 FEB 2025 - 28 FEB 2025 Narrative: Third Person Limited, Past Tense ★ This story is only available on Wattpad by @laurendoubleu.Complete
