Second book of the "A Forest of Secrets" series (https://www.wattpad.com/story/101969186-a-forest-of-secrets)

 The Fog Ocean is vast, deep and full of dangers: will you take a leap? Are you trusting enough? 

Alaric's long-lost sister is not the only secret those treacherous waters hide. All evidence points to Grandmother knowing all about it, yet again manipulating her granddaughter to be in the right place, meet the right people and uncover all the lies she was told, but to what end? The Fog Ocean holds answers to questions deep inside Jo's heart, its salt will burn her unhealed wounds and set the world aflame.

Meanwhile, in Ontur, Laurentius is playing a dangerous game. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer was never his motto, but he's too curious and way into deep to let it go. With Wyn's help he'll get in more trouble than he bargained for, but trying to fix a kingdom at the verge of a civil war is terribly fascinating. He can't stay away from that kind of fun, and maybe someone's counting on it- again.


Both paths lead to dangerous destinations. Both paths have more in common than they think. Welcome to An Ocean of Lies. Try not to drown.

Jewels of the Crown by heliotropegirl

Adellia has grown up surrounded by rules and regulations. She's been prepped from birth to eventually reside in the throne that has been in her family for what feels like forever. Unfortunately, her destiny is quickly approaching. Her father is dead, and her mother has only a couple of months to live according to doctors. All eyes in the castle, and kingdom, turn to Adellia expecting her to step into her mother's shoes. However, both women aren't ready to give up their lives just yet. Wanting to learn more about her kingdom, and the people of it, before she is forced into an arranged marriage and the throne for the rest of her life, Adellia ventures out into the kingdom to do just that. While there, Adellia meets a young blacksmith by the name of Faron and gets sucked into a plot that goes against her, and her mother's wishes. Will she be able to venture into the unknown, and survive out of the watchful eye of the palace? This book has sexual reference and mentions of things that could possibly be triggering to some - e.g. young motherhood and loss of a parent. This work is usually split into two parts, but I have decided to take down the second part, and consider the first part, one book for now, so I can work on the second. When the second part/book has been finished, I'll decide whether I like it as one book or to reincorporate the rest of the book to make it one. Entered in the Wattys(2020)!

A Forest of Secrets by LRamirezN

⭐ FEATURED ⭐ 02/16/2018 Longlisted, Wattys 2018 ✅ COMPLETE Jocasta's nineteen years of peaceful existence in a little village of the Kingdom of Ontur blew up in pieces without much warning: Grandmother had a secret, an old pact with a mysterious man-a pact that, apparently, Jo and her new tagalongs - a flamboyant mage, a goofball knight pledge and a young alchemist-now had to take care of, thanks to the untimely death of the King of Ontur. A quest to find an ancient place, concealing an artifact of unmeasurable power and rumored to be deadly. And posthaste, before it falls into the wrong hands. That's something all grandmothers ask of their granddaughters sometime in their lifetime, right? And all that was at stake was the stability of the kingdom: no pressure. Set in a world where magic is vital, where mages are as equally feared and shunned as they're needed. A temporarily Kingless kingdom where vultures wait for the perfect time to take a plunge. A world where secrets and lies are as abundant, dangerous and necessary as magic. But something else brews in the Kingdom of Ontur: something bigger than Jocasta and her Grandmother's secrets. ⭐ 1st place in Fantasy, The Crystal Crown Awards 2017 || Highest ranking : #46 in Fantasy 03/04/2018 #writteninaction you can read a review here: https://www.wattpad.com/471550430-island-of-lost-toys-reviews-great-reads-for-the
