Carbo is different. Both in looks and who she is. She prances around the Forges with her dark skin, copper hair and golden eyes striving to become one of the legendary Creators, the mechanics that build the Creations that protect their city. Those Creations are mindless war-machines that obay orders through a giant control panel that anyone could pilot. What lies beyond the city walls? Monsters, say some, but Carbo isn't exactly convinced. She wants to find out. When she stumbles across an old legend, that dream could become a reality.

Dragons of Marak: Book 1, Wings & Sword
[Revised as of 10/01/2020] Ana Perez comes from wealth and power. But her father, a business tycoon in the land of Marak, hates dragons. That makes things a little complicated when she runs into a water cobra dragon named Cee, and bonds with him. Still, she would not give him up for anything. Marak is a land where the dragons exist in all shapes and sizes. Cee is blue, snake-like, and wet. Others are stony, with turtle shells and dragonfly wings. A few have crimson scales, fur, and long limbs. Some are as large as a carriage, others twice that size, and others as small as a gartner snake. Cee is overconfident, dogged, and charismatic. Ana is smart, good-hearted, and stylish. They form an unbreakable bond. Partners for life. The dragons of Marak can equip to their partners as weapons. But Cee is more than just an object to Ana. He's a friend. As she spends time with him, she grows. But there are secrets in Marak. Not everyone sees dragons as friends. Ana's naive. The wealth and power among her country's industrialists is a front for small hearts and stubborn men. Ana can't stay blind forever. [ NOTE: Story is complete!!

Raising a Hero
She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of their unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car crash. But this isn't the end of her story. Her spirit is picked up by her brother, a beginner god who needs help raising the hero of his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her an opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a semi-ageless body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else. DISCLAIMER!!! This is the first 77 chapters of a 241 chapter book! You can get it for cheapity cheap on Amazon (ebook and hardcopy) or pay by the chapter on other sites. It's called 'Google it.' I advise the Amazon route, because we poor folk need to stick together.Completa
Echoes Of The Machine
Eighteen years have passed since Lord Crainus, the metallic leader, reshaped the city. Now christened Vaporwarn, the once-polluted metropolis gleams with sterile efficiency. Towering wind turbines hum, powering the city with clean energy, while sleek, emotionless sentinels patrol the streets, enforcing Lord Crainus' ironclad rule. Yet, beneath the surface of progress, a simmering unease persists. The citizens, stripped of their individuality, move with a practiced stoicism. In this rigidly controlled environment thrives Anabelle, once known as Anya, Lord Crainus's daughter. Anabelle is no ordinary young woman. Inheriting her father's brilliance for invention, she secretly builds intricate mechanical devices, her crowning achievement being a sophisticated gauntlet pulsating with unknown energy. But unlike her father, Anabelle's heart is filled with love for her family and a burning desire to restore balance to Vaporwarn. A gnawing secret fuels her actions. The bargain her father struck with a demon to save the city transformed him into a cold, metallic being. Now, driven by a fierce love for her father and a yearning for the man he once was, Anabelle delves into forbidden knowledge. Her quest: to find a way to imprison the demon and release her father from its grasp. Armed with a battered notebook filled with cryptic symbols and fueled by her unwavering determination, Anabelle navigates the hidden underbelly of Vaporwarn, seeking out those who possess knowledge of the forgotten arts - the very tools needed to confront a darkness that threatens to consume them all. This is just the beginning of Anabelle's journey. Will she succeed in freeing her father and restoring hope to Vaporwarn? Or will the city succumb to the iron grip of Lord Crainus and the lurking shadows of the demon's bargain?Completa

DREAMWIELDER Book 1 of The Dreamwielder Chronicles
In a world shrouded by soot and smoke, young Makarria has literally been forbidden to dream... Legend has foretold the demise of Emperor Thedric Guderian at the hands of a sorceress with royal blood, and the Emperor has made it his legacy to stamp out all magic from the Sargothian Empire in favor of primitive coal fired smelters and steam powered machines. When Guderian's minions discover a Dreamwielder on a seaside farmstead, a chain of events forces Guderian's new threat-the young Makarria-to flee from her home and embark upon an epic journey where her path intertwines with that of Princess Taera, her headstrong brother, Prince Caile, and the northman Siegbjorn, who captains a night-flying airship. Dogging their every step is the part-wolf, part-raven sorcerer, Wulfram, and Emperor Guderian, himself, a man who has the ability to stint magic and a vision to create a world where the laws of nature are beholden to men and machines. Only by learning to control the power she wields can Makarria save her newfound companions and stop the Emperor from irreversibly exterminating both the magic in humans and their bond with nature.Completa
Waltz of Steam and Magic
In a world where steam and magic intertwine, ancient treaties collapse under the pressure of a new order, and two drastically different civilizations collide, shaking the entire continent. On one side, an advanced industrial civilization fueled by the power of steam and machinery; on the other, an ancient kingdom built upon the magical elements and arcane forces of old. As these forces clash, the entire continent is thrown into unprecedented chaos, signaling a transformative era that no one is prepared for. At the heart of this upheaval is a war without smoke, a battle between technology and magic. With the rise of the Steam Revolution, mechanical technology and strange magic intertwine, showcasing endless possibilities. From the blazing heat of bullets to the cold shield of ice, from the precise firing of mechanical arms to the stunning force of magical chants, every moment of battle crackles with tension and energy. This is not just a clash of steel and elements; it is a struggle of intelligence and willpower, where the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Amid this turmoil, a young prince emerges from his homeland's palace, stepping onto a path destined to change the course of history. He is a brave and determined youth, burdened with the weight of his father's legacy and the responsibility to restore his kingdom, which faces both external invasion and internal strife. With his sword in hand and his father's expectations on his shoulders, he embarks on a quest to find answers and uncover the mysteries that lie ahead. However, the war in this world is far more complicated than it appears. The line between magic and machinery, between magic-wielders and engineers, between flying ships and steam-powered trains, is increasingly blurred. In the borderlands far from his kingdom, peaceful villages are destroyed by mechanical beasts, and ancient forests are disturbed by mysterious magical surges.

Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️
| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49!
