Two brothers, a forgotten ship, and the depths of fantastical seas... Fifteen year old Kai Higgins and his elder brother, Dune, have never dreamed their father was more than a Scottish fisherman. But when he is lost to the deep, leaving behind a mysterious star chart, they set sail across the Moray Firth, following the stars to the unknown.
In this journey through the legends of the sea, Kai and Dune uncover their late father's hidden life-a world of trial, ensnaring enchantment, and daring mythological beasts. Will Kai raise a sword with the Clan of Each-Uisge and his newfound love? Will his brother stand by his side no matter what briny fiend comes their way? A quest of courage, the Higgins' legacy rests in their wake.

At eighteen, they are Matched in a sacred bond, their fates entwined to protect the world from the monstrous Revenants that spill through the Rifts. Cai Athren was supposed to be the perfect heir-born into a dynasty of elite Guides, destined to pair with an equally powerful Esper. But there's a problem. His hypersensitive senses reject every candidate, their presence unbearable. The Academy whispers about his unmatched status, and his family is losing patience. If he doesn't choose a partner, the Athren name will be tarnished forever. Then Thalassa Riven walks in. An orphan. A stray. A wildcard. The first Esper whose presence doesn't revolt him-but instead draws him in like a tidal pull. She is S-Rank, unnaturally powerful, and undeniably dangerous. The Academy doesn't trust her. The Vanguard watches her too closely. And Cai's family refuses to accept an Esper with no lineage. But the moment their Synchronization begins, it's unlike anything the world has seen before. Their bond is too strong, too intense, too raw. And as whispers of the Riftborn King echo through Thalassa's mind, she begins to wonder-was she Matched with Cai by fate? Or is she something else entirely? Because in a world where power is inherited, not chosen... their bond might just break everything.

Chattan Bride
READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR AWARD WINNER - As the daughter of a strong English baron, Isabel is compelled by peace negotiations to become the child-bride of the enemy, the powerful, handsome and fierce Scottish Laird of the Chattan clan, Alysandir. Her youth and his distaste for a marriage alliance with his enemy render her strenuous efforts to win the approval of her husband almost futile. Even though she failed him in a hopelessly complex situation, why would he allow his former fiancé to get away at an attempt to kill her? When her dying father calls her home to England, she is forced to be braver than her years as her exiled, murderous half-brother, Gilbert, attempts to wrest control of Bamborough Castle, their family home, from her father, who was determined to never allow Gilbert the inheritance. Could Alysandir, her wizened warrior husband soften her battle-hardened heart, protect her from her treacherous half-brother and win back her love? Growing up amid the border wars taught Isabel to be strong, cautious and adaptable. Fighting in those wars made Alysandir inflexible, distrustful but patient and brave. Could he secure his lands and keep his new bride safe from those who wished to harm her, or even protect her from herself? After breaking her, could he gather her back to himself and teach her to trust him before her half-brother and brother-in-law kill her over a piece of borderland?Complete![Awakening of the Shadows [COMPLETE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/154388937-256-k706496.jpg)
