Once upon a time, Leander decided to kidnap a sorceress. It didn't go to plan.
[Wattpad Picks: Editors' Choice]
Leander just wanted to forget the army now he'd left it behind him, but war had dogged the country for the past thirty years and forgetting was nigh impossible, especially when it looked unlikely to finish any time soon. Pretty, clever and vivacious, Miss Harper was surely the perfect distraction. If only she would give him the time of day...
Unfortunately Miss Harper only had eyes for her big promotion (in whatever that job of hers was) and Leander didn't feature in her plans. All she was interested in was magic, something nobody took seriously, and the fate of the nation. Drunk and desperate, he made one final, wild attempt to be noticed by her.
Magic, it transpired, was a little more serious than Leander had bargained for. If he thought he'd escaped the war, he was sorely mistaken: it was exactly where Lissy Harper was heading, and now she was taking him with her.
Nothing was more dangerous than a sorceress when you'd got on her bad side.

Tempris
[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.Complete

❝𝙊𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙨❞
...𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺, 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦... In a land far away from the one we know lies a mighty empire, fallen in ruins. Elves ruled those lands once, governing all with peace and goodwill, striving to create a world of harmony as they united three mighty kindreds into one. Yet never would such beauty last for long. From the far south, a sorcerer lies in wait. He had once stirred up the arrogant so that they would betray their king, shattering the bonds of fellowship and brotherhood that had once held them together. And thus, with his evil cunning and malice, that sorcerer had destroyed the once glorious empire, throwing it down into the ashes and the smoke. Such great matters, it would seem, does not concern those of the world we think we live in, yet as three teenagers, with their own little differences, would see, maybe all the worlds of fantasy do also concern us, and fate would bring them to do great things, in a land that never even knew them...
