Reyn has nothing but secrets. Everything she is or has ever been becomes another reason to be despised. Born of demons, pursued by justice, and haunted by regret. In the service of the Dragon Empress, Reyn hoped to find vengeance for the life she lost, but as emissaries from a distant empire arrive with an offer of friendship, Reyn is commanded not to kill the monster she's longed to destroy. Worse, she must work alongside him. Joshuan Krayson goes on the hunt. Demons and their thralls have worked in the shadows throughout history, and only a secret cabal of divine guardians has kept the Five Kingdoms from falling to ruin.

The Arcane Paradox by AdventureMagicReader

In the shadowed alleys of a hidden London, where ancient magic collides with the relentless surge of advanced technology, an age-old prophecy threatens to unravel the delicate balance of two intertwined worlds. Arin Valeria, a 150-year-old alchemist with a fraying mind despite his mastery of ancient magic, stands on the precipice of this impending conflict. His daughter, Lila Valeria, embodies the bridge between eras, merging the arcane and the modern with her innovative spirit. The Valeria family's tranquil existence shatters when Maxwell Reed, a powerful tech mogul and dabbler in dark magic, launches a ruthless campaign to dominate both realms. As Maxwell's technologically enhanced abominations spread terror, Arin and Lila must unite their unique knowledge and strengths. Their ancient family golem, imbued with the wisdom of centuries, becomes their steadfast ally in this desperate battle for survival. From the creation of sentient golems to the emergence of charmed batteries, the Valerias face escalating confrontations. A catastrophic explosion merges a will-o'-the-wisp with a golem's core, birthing a new form of sentience and heralding an unprecedented war. As technology infiltrates every aspect of life and magic's influence wanes, alliances are tested, and the lines between good and evil blur. Ethan, a brilliant coder and Lila's admirer, sacrifices everything by embedding himself into Maxwell's network to dismantle it from within. His agonizing journey reveals the dark synergy between Maxwell's malevolent magic and cutting-edge technology. In a heart-wrenching finale, Ethan's ultimate act of bravery destabilizes Maxwell's grip on both worlds, but at the cost of his life and the future he longed for with Lila.

The once-familiar struggles of their historical journey now paled in comparison to the mystifying landscape and arcane forces that defined their newfound reality. The Empire of Elysia, once shaped by the echoes of ancient conquests, now stood at the threshold of an uncharted realm, where the very fabric of existence seemed to be interwoven with the enchantment of magic.

❝ Pain was my fuel, until the fire began bleeding from my veins. ❞ The girl without a name. The black-haired fiend devoid of fear. The sharp-tongued scoundrel always ready with a trick up her sleeve. Thief and street rat Azura knows how to hustle a man better than she knows how to read. Some skills are far more important than others in the dog-eat-dog world she survives in. She knows Rupteran will only play nice when the Sharlik Empire keels over and dies, which isn't going to be anytime soon with the piss-poor job the rebellion is doing. But when a robbery that could turn her life around goes sour, Azura's sharp wit and blackened heart will be tested. One should be wary before cornering a wounded animal, and that's exactly how the rebellion finds Azura. With her bloody teeth bared and her hackles risen, Azura is ready to bite off the hand they offer her. But some deals are just too alluring to pass up. ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Complete! ➳ Amazing cover designed by @-wanderes ➳ Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Featured in @WattpadDarkFantasy's 'A Kingdom In Shadows' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadStars 'Fantasy' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadHornsandHalos 'Nephilim Stories' reading list ➳ Featured in @StoriesUndiscovered 'Explore The Stars' reading list ➳ Featured in @antiheroesgalore's 'Monstrously Fantastic' reading list ➳ Featured in @mythandlegend's 'Legendary Creatures and Hybrids' reading list ➳ 'Best Leading Character' in The 2020 Sinne Awards ➳ 'Book To TV Potential' in The 2020 Sinne Awards [[word count: 70,000 - 80,000]]

Who knew what would happen after stealing some bread from a street stall? Certainly not Nagan. Nothing out of the ordinary should have happened, considering stealing food to survive was the norm. But fate, destiny, karma, whatever you wanted to call it, had a funny way of showing mercy. Nagan didn't know what to think when a baby dragon dropped in front of him. Even stranger, it was there to deliver an invitation. Carvolier was calling to him, as was a larger-than-life destiny. Like father, like son, after all. Yet something darker seeped through the seams as his years in Carvolier went on. Only time knew what awaited him.

The Unordinary Life of the Enchantress by AK-Babar

{INITIAL DRAFT, constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged} {2018 wattys longlist} "I swear on the life of my men, that I will never fall back on my word to bring down this worker of mischief- and bring down this inhumane creature!" The new king preached. The Enchantress has lived in her manor long enough to see the settlement and depletion of many mortal towns, so she isn't surprised when another collective of civilians claim the land near her for themselves. Calling themselves the 'New Mortals', the people seem set on making the Enchantress's life an ongoing misery. She uses her knowledge of the world and its elements to keep intruders away from her home, however, when the newly-elected leader of the settlement promises her demise and a boy claiming to be a researcher makes himself her apprentice, her life deters from its usual path and becomes a constant hassle as she tries all she can to return to a peaceful existence.

Gravedancer by AlfiRizkyR

Alden Jackson believes that Calamity, Oregon, is the most boring place on Earth: so boring there that the people in town have a dreaded Halloween ritual of sending eighteen year-olds off into a local haunted house for a good night’s scare. And scare is exactly what Alden gets – with some unintended consequences. The moment he enters the haunted house, a twisted turn of events – including hungry ghosts, a vampire attack, and a Zombie Chicken rising from the dead – ends up with Alden’s enormous magic powers springing into action for the first time, transforming the whole town into a place fit for monsters. Knowing that the monsters will spread, Alden has no choice but to delve into the town’s magical secrets, catch up quickly with the magic world, and clean up the supernatural mess he made. But Alden isn’t alone in his plight. Calamity, as it turns out, has been the sanctuary for magic users for centuries, and all hands are on deck to rid the town of monsters and return Calamity’s centuries of peace.
