In the Empire of Isles, prisoners have a chance of regaining their freedom once a year: the Challenge. There, they fight to the death in various phases on a nationally televised channel, until only one is left remaining and named victor.
An heir to the Empire is chosen during a contest known as the Praelium, where nobles and those sponsored by noble houses attempt to win over the people and prove they are honorable enough to wear the crown. Once there are only sixteen remaining, they then fight to the death in ritual combat. Only the strongest becomes the next Emperor or Empress.
When her brother is arrested and forced to partake in the year's Challenge, Rei finds herself navigating the intricacies and scandals of the courtly life in order to get close enough to save him. This year is different: the country might be facing a war, and a betrothal to a prince of another land awaits the winner. As she progresses through the Praelium, Rei quickly learns no one can be an ally and that she must do things she is not proud of once again in order to save her brother.
After all, if the only person you loved could die at any moment, what would you do to save them? What would you become?

The Trouble with Hades
With the end of the blood war looming, Evie struggles to cope, knowing that she is untrained and not ready to take on a dangerous vampire. All the while, the secrets of her world continue to accumulate. From the unexpected to the hidden who are believed to be dead, Evie knows that every day that passes is another that brings them closer to a time when they will be exposed. Her powers are growing, and there is only one who can teach her how to control them. Evie must face the one person she vowed she would never meet-her father. Things are not what they seem and her father will give Evie insight into her mother's life. Letting go of the past will not be easy for Evie, but to move forward, she has to accept that sometimes doing what is necessary is far more important. If meeting her father wasn't bad enough, the powers that rule the portal will be. They're determined to make her fall, strip Evie of her powers, and banish her to the land of the outcasts. In true Evie style, she refuses to bow down to them and highlights things that were unseen and ignored. Few are standing in Evie's corner. With help from Hades' resident demon, Evie's coven grows to those who will stand beside her in the war and those who will protect her. All she has to do is get everything right. Otherwise, the European vampires will become involved and Evie knows that if that happens, everyone in the coven could be in danger.

Killer Magic Academy
You either become brilliant, or you get killed. When Alyssa was invited to a boarding school to learn magic, she was expecting something out of a Harry Potter book. She wasn't expecting to become a master of a power and learn how to survive and fight with it. She wasn't expecting that most of the people in the school would kill the people with too much power. She wasn't expecting to be one of the most powerful students to ever walk the school. Everyone at Aptitude Academy has power within, and everyone in the school will either become brilliant, or be killed by the other students. Alyssa thought she was signing up to learn to help the world, but she has to master her power quickly, before the people who already have mastered their powers come after her. Soon, that becomes the least of her problems. There's a prophecy that everyone seems convinced that it's about her, a fight club that she accidentally signed up for, the dragon that lives in the arena, and the threat that terrifies the entire school. There's only one person who can stop the threat before it's too late - the subject of the prophecy. Unfortunately for Alyssa, no one knows how to stop the threat or what exactly it is. Despite the fact everyone seems to thing the savior is Alyssa, no one knows for sure, and one false attempt will destroy everything Aptitude Academy has ever known. You become brilliant or you get killed, or maybe both. Cover by: @Ari_forevConcluida

A Forest of Secrets
⭐ 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-theConcluida
