When Victoria can't stop dreaming about the night her mother died, she blames it on her never having met her. But then she realises she's been sharing dreams with her mother's killer, not seeing any ordinary nightmare but glimpses of what really happened that night. What she doesn't know is that he's the most powerful man in the world, the Master of the Sorters who have documented and filed dreams for centuries. And she soon finds herself at the grand house he is Master of, not knowing they've been watching her dreams since they first came to her. Now a part of the sorters, she must work desperately to uncover what actually happened to her mother that night without giving away that she has learnt more about her own dreams than they have. The challenge to stay a step ahead of them always is one she can only win by making strong alliances and devoting herself to her secrets. But it's only a matter of time until she starts to discover things she can no longer hide.

W.E.L.F.S: The Snake's Eye (COMPLETED), écrit par Naumaan333

"I saw you and you were just standing there. I started walking towards you and you-just-just stood there." Stuttered Stiles. "I tapped on your shoulder and you turned around. You didn't answer me. You didn't even notice I was there. You just stared at something, something that wasn't visible and y-you-" Paused Stiles, whose legs were vibrating and he started to breathe heavily. "And I what?" I asked trying to get the words out. "You died." He stated. "What?" Asked I, like he had just said the most craziest thing ever. It was slightly humorous. He had to be joking, I thought to myself. "You- just died." Murmured Stiles, who had stopped shaking and had stood up. -------------- The world consists of many parallel multiverses. Each separate and unique. We all know Earth 1, yet not many people are familiar to the lost planet, Earth 1000. The planet was Imperium; Declared the most powerful, biggest rogue planet of the multiverse- many people sought out to rule it. Therefore a war was sparked. Some people say, that the planet birthed death because of the deadly war. However, something else was birthed, an heir. Her name was Milia. She possessed true power and ultimately ended the war. Milia ruled the world and her children became the inevitable successors. Although they lacked Milia's gift, the future generation, though it was thousand's of years later contained Milia's powers. The children were named the true heir, therefore they were hunted. No hunter was more well known than the bitch, the baddest; Methaya. Being half human, half snake, her luminescent eyes turned the living into the inanimate. To save her children, the Queen of the planet rifted her children into Earth, where they lived for 500 years, unaware of their cursed destiny. After a prophecy declaring that the oldest would die, the truth started unravelling and they learnt things- that would change things forever.

Hidden, écrit par cia715

The shy girl wanted to prove she could be useful to the CEO's plan-seducing a dangerous man. Trembling, she carefully straddled Diana's lap, heart pounding, desperate to show she wasn't as helpless as she seemed. Diana's cold voice challenged her: "Is that all you can do? You think this is helping? Sitting on me, trembling like that?" But inside, watching Anna like this, she felt something she refused to admit-losing control. Anna ran away to start over. At nineteen, she left behind a strict father, a forced engagement, and a life that never felt like hers. Now she's tucked away in a quiet corner of Thailand, working at a small café and trying to find pieces of herself again. Then Diana (33) walked in. Cold, composed, and impossibly intimidating, Diana is the kind of woman who commands a room without saying a word. A powerful CEO with a mysterious edge and eyes that never miss a thing. She claims she's just there for coffee... but she lingers. Watches. Smiles, when no one's looking. When a spilled drink and an innocent apology turn into a moment neither of them expected, Anna finds herself pulled into a game she doesn't understand, one filled with secrets, tension, and a closeness that feels too dangerous to want. But Diana isn't just a customer. And Anna isn't just a girl working behind the counter. One is hiding a mission. The other is trying not to lose herself. And neither of them is ready for what's coming next.

Inside the Beast's Castle, écrit par no_kidding

"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

Knight x Princess In a kingdom ruled by fear and tradition, lies a knight and a princess. A knight, cloaked in armor and rumor, wearing a mask that hides a soul weighed down by sorrow and hatred. A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice.

Together, they may either save a kingdom...or burn it to ash. When sword meets silence, when fear meets fury... what will be born of it?

In the Shadows of the Night, écrit par StephanieGower

In the darkness of the night, he lurks; Standing in darkened areas beside the house where the bushes and trees separate the house from the privacy fence. He watches a window, waiting until the house grows dark for everyone to be asleep, before stepping out from behind his fortress of trees. He stands there only for a split second before returning into the solitude and safety of his hiding place. He does this every night and has done this every night for quite some time. He watches and waits for the moment to strike and deep-down hopes that it will never come. Meanwhile inside the house is a family that knows nothing of the stranger standing only a matter of feet on the other side of their walls. They slip off into their dream world every night knowing that they are safe, fearing nothing but the sound of the alarm clock in the morning. For them, time slips away while their eyes are closed tightly, and their dreams come swiftly into their heads, but for the man in the shadows the night goes by slowly as he waits. He was trained not to move, and when he did move not to make a sound, so he could slip through any structure without them being aware of his existence. He knows the house very well and has been in it at least once a day, even when the family was awake. The grounds around the house are his only weaknesses he cannot be at more than one place at a time, so he must walk the perimeter at all times watching and waiting.....
