Book 1 in the Grandmasters series
Lara is a princess. She lives in a society where a single Test determines your future. Her whole life, she has grown up having everything handed to her. She expects to be given a long life as queen. How wrong is she?
Atalanta is a craftswoman with an impossible wish. She wants to be a warrior in a society where women are taught to let the men fight. Atalanta wants, no, needs this to change. What lengths will she reach to discover how impossible her wish really is?
James is an orphan with a gift. He has felt out of place his whole life, hated by every official he has seen. When his gift shows itself, he is given one thing he never has been given before: respect. But, when his future is in the hands of someone he can't trust or control, how much will it take for him to take back the future he deserves?
A lone harpy has one job: to protect. This has been her life and, despite every request, she faces it alone. No sister, no parents, maybe even no true friends. Can she soar higher than the destiny planned for her since birth?
There is a society in a world not so far away. Here, your future could be changed by Test scores, which is what everyone tells you, or, truly, by how much the Grandmaster loathes you.
One question is on everyone's mind as the stakes rise:
How long will it take for me to crumble?

The Alpha's mate || #wattys2017
-- COMPLETED -- *** "You're the first ever future human Luna, love. I don't know whether my pack will accept you." *** Radiance Collins was not a believer of love. Her so called "parents" never exposed her to the love everyone deserves. One day, her "parents" were mysteriously murdered, and the case was eventually closed as an unsolved case.

Long story short, she moved in with Sarah, the woman who claims to be her biological aunt, after the death of her "parents" and goes into a entirely different town. But little does she know how close she was going to meet her destiny. Bentley Cole is a soon-to-be alpha of the Black Cole pack. Three years after his fifteenth birthday, he had yet to find his mate. Despite that, he never stopped looking for her, but you know, typical Alpha's and their needs. And then everything changes when they literally bump into each other. What happens when fate, or more specifically, Moon Goddess, pairs up these two? Secrets will start to unravel, Radiance would later on find out more about herself, and why she didn't react like a normal human being would, after she has been physically and mentally abused by her "parents". *** MAJOR WARNING : THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS ARE PRETTY SHITTY BUT IT GETS BETTER, I PROMISE!

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path
(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3Complete
A Whole Different Life (Book I)
"What would you rather? Floating in eternal darkness or...serving me? As my champion?" "Honestly? Neither, why in the world would I choose to be a servant in my next life?!" "Hm, then I suppose-" "Wait, I wasn't finished." She let out a sigh, trepidation heavy in my mind. She's spent her entire life in a world that was 50/50 for her...school was rough but she had companions. Her home life was great but it had its ups and downs. She was beautiful! But...she didn't feel that way. Perhaps another life could give her that? A sense of renewal, a chance to be someone better and greater than the person she originally was. "But! I'll take the latter, I could use a change. A chance to be a different me is always appreciated. After all, it's not like I'm going to be a world-renowned hero right?" ___________ What happens when you die? Do you go to a religious after-life? Do you simply float in black nothingness or do you wake up in the body of another person? Well...for 17-year old Eos Theodoric, a girl who died in a tragic car accident, she knows the answer. Waking up in the body of an animal in service to an Animal Guardian who lives in a different world known as Balerion! Get ready for this one, a fantasy life isn't what it seems! Warning(s): This book may contain descriptions of torture of a slightly graphic nature, sexual innuendos, mentions of rape in a chapter and possibly some graphic death scenes!Complete
Gang Royalty
The first book in the Gang Royalty series. ****** "Alyssa Salvatore caught in the act." I stop in my tracks. They were faster than I expected. Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! I mumble in my head but I keep my composure. I spin around on one heel and face the devil . There standing not even two feet from me was Zane Hunter. Better known as alpha. Just perfect. I flash my teeth in the best fake smile I can muster. "Zane!! How nice to see you? Long time no see? You've been scarce." He glares at me. "You better watch your back Lyssa before you get into trouble." At my expression he smiles. Hard lines appear on his face as that sick smile spreads even further. "You know what this means don't you?" I sigh and shake my head. "It means that I'll just have to fight myself out of here." I grab my two automatic pistols already loaded and ready to fire. I point one straight at his chest and rest the tip of the other on my left temple. "If you're planning on killing me I'll just drag you down with me." ********* Two of the most feared and well known gangs in America have an old rivalry. The Wolverines vs the Wolves. Girl gang vs Boy gang. What could go wrong? Well the list goes on forever in this thrilling new gang story. No real happy ending is coming their way cause the biggest game has started.

Her Only Chance
THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT I HAVE BEGUN AN OFFICIAL EDITTED VERSION BEING PUBLISHED ON MY PROFILE UNDER THE OTHER HER ONLY CHANCE!!!!!! HOWEVER I STILL RECOMMEND READING THIS VERSION. (I began this story when I was like 13/14. So the first maybe 10ish chapters is definitely a bit more juvenile (still bearable) which is something I need to edit through. However, once you pass the beginning of the story (when I was definitely a lot older) I promise it gets a whole lot better. ____________________________________________________ Where trust is the one thing you cannot rely on, who can you trust? ____________________________________________________ What I went through . . . I couldn't wish that upon anyone. It wasn't just horrific, it was everything. I walked through death, walked through heartbreak, I walked through betrayal, I walked through a city of ruins, I walked through unimaginable tests. I survived against things you wouldn't even want to know. Things you couldn't even conjure up with your imagination. But I still did. But you want to know the worst of it all? I only had one chance. ____________________________________________________ Where nations are now out of control with the sudden rise of population and the demand of essential items and access to shelter, the government needed to take back control of society. So all the major powers of the world joined together and after a long ten decades of suffering, came to a conclusion; Resdue. Which was basically an acronym of saying 'death test'. Two students from each individual high school in either grade eleven or twelve would be chosen by the principle and teaching committee to be sent to the Resdue Test. You were supposed to rely on your partner and was forced to as if one partner were to die, you would join them in death. But when Bryce Henson is chosen from her school, she can only hope she can survive the first test.Complete
