Every year for the last decade Ashether, the Kingdom of Ashes, celebrated the memory of those who died for its freedom. Every year for the last decade the Festival of the Dead brought together the four Kingdoms of the Royal Lands to remember the souls that sacrificed themselves for freedom. Every year for the last decade everything went according to plan. Until the 10th year.
What happens when you put a group of low rank thieves with a leader way too cocky for his own good together with a smart-like-a-fox woman who dreams big as they all try to steal their way to riches and luxury?
But said heist is not the curtain call of the night. For there are some who side-eye Ashether's freedom and its Queen. And they have been looking forward for the Festival of the Dead for reasons that differ from those you would imagine.
So what do you believe will happen when that very group of thieves find themselves tangled in a political matter that has nothing to do with their original cause?

Winter's Dance (#1 Ruthen Quartet)
(Completed) Two assassins were set to kill a girl. No questions asked. Just kill her and claim their prize. That was their mission. Except one of them was not supposed to visit Volney, the land of the dead and the other fall in love with a girl and totally forget about his mission to kill. For an heir who had dedicated her entire life for her kingdom, fate was not kind. Her sister should have returned home after her visit to her aunt's place. Her kingdom must have been safe, both terrestrial and by sea. But does anything ever goes planned? As a general, she must now decide. Kingdom or family? Suffice to say, slavery was the safest option for a bride. Hated by the king's daughter, she wonders what she had ever done in her life to deserve her hate. With her friend of fifteen years gone to join the rebellion, and without realising what it would cost her, she makes new friends. But would they keep her alive? Or would they sell her for their life? Friendships will be tested. Foes will become allies. Hunted will become the Hunter. And lover will become the betrayer. Not edited! Cover made by @ShadowsleekAbgeschlossene Geschichte
Highness
Twenty years ago, the world was flipped on its head by the emergence of Lycans. They existed only in legends and myths... until they didn't. Easily overtaken by the beings who possessed far superior strength and sharpened primordial instincts, the human race fell inferior, poverty-stricken, and was forced to watch as civilization gave way to a higher order. Those who weren't killed in the Emergence gathered in remote towns. This is where Aurora Dyer was raised, with only the faintest memories of life before the Lycans. However, even these isolated settlements could not outrun the Decree issued that fateful winter's eve: His Highness seeks a Bride. The search begins for a suitable mate, whatever the cost. Along with hundreds of other women, Aurora finds herself herded into a world clouded with unimaginable wealth, mystery and depth. As the selection for Her Highness begins, Aurora must not only confront the monster responsible for overtaking her life, but also prevent him from destroying what remains of it. // ONGOING | To be completed by Summer 2026 Written by MaybeManhattan

Brie and Claire
"You have secrets." "I do not." "Yes you do, and I'm going to find out what they are." Claire finds herself joining Brie on an unexpected journey, one that she had never imagined to be a part of, when all she was expecting was a boring roommate. Her mundane life from working at a thrift store changes dramatically, when her path collides with Brie's. The two hadn't met since freshman year of high school, and hadn't realised how different they each were from their teenage selves. How their ambitions, passions, and stories had changed, and what life had in hold for the two. Claire, an exceptionally gifted artist, was always eager to put her skills to use. The question is, would she still want to, if she was to rob a gallery. And as for Brie, her story couldn't possibly be put into a single sentence. Are they fearless enough to face the malice of the world? Are they desperate enough to pull off a heist? Are they insatiable enough to fall in love? Ranks: #17 in heist Note: Not just all the characters, but most places like the museum and town in which the story takes place, the painting and artist are all fictional. Note 2: This is a slowburn, do not read if you don't have the patience for it Note 3: WAY too many descriptions of the sky but that's what you get from an author obsessed with sunsets Themes of sexuality, homophobia, mental health/disorders, eating disorders and addiction Credits to @LoonyGlitch for the book coverAbgeschlossene Geschichte
Cursed: The Legend of Sleeping Beauty
Long ago, the Kingdom of Alagil was cursed by a Dragon for their greed and lust for power, the Royal Family having seized the entirety of Gold Thread she made for the public, keeping it for themselves. The Dragon gave the Royals sixteen years to better themselves and teach their heir to the thone to be an honest, caring individual. If the Princess was coronated with a selfish heart everyone in the castle who had done wrong to the people would die. The top three Witches of the court decided on a plan to save the Princess and everyone else included in the curse, taking the spindle it is bound to and altering the curse so that, if it struck, they would all fall into an eternal slumber. Fifteen years later, Briar Rose is shocked to learn that the biggest threat to her daily life isn't Dragons swooping down from the sky to eat her or dying from boredom out in the middle of the woods. It's a curse that can lead to her whole countries decimation. Having been born with the Gift for Magic, she was trained to be a Curse Breaker by proclamation of High King Henric himself and now knows that her Godmothers have been preparing her to fight the Curse the Dragon bestowed at that ill-fasted Ball all those years ago. With one year to get the most practical experience possible in Curse Breaking, Briar Rose heads out with the map her Godmothers gave her, tracking down places of extreme curses while they head back to Skyfort, the castle where the cursed spindle resides, to protect it from those who would inadvertently worsen the curse they struggled to amend. Will she succeed at breaking the Curse and make her life her own or is the magic of Dragons to much for a Mortal to hope to overcome?Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Uncle Charn of Chai
Author : Aiden N Viviane aka Aiden Black Translator : Andr33a87C This book is non-profit. Please don't sell it. "If you want money, get your chubby ass over here and sit on my lap, then beg nicely, like a dog begging for a bone. Can you do that, old man?" Genre: Crazy Pet Boy X Muscular Daddy-Type A Love Story for 18+ Synopsis: Charn decides to resign from his position as a driver for the wealthy Warakorn family to start a business and build a family. However, he is scammed and abandoned by his wife without a second thought. He's forced to sell all his assets to pay off his debts. The middle-aged man in his forties is forced to shamely return to his former employer to beg for help. But a pressing situation arises, forcing Charn to decide to sneak into the storage room to steal a Burmese jade statue, unaware that the room has been converted into the bedroom of "Chanint Warakorn," or Khun Chai, the rebellious heir of the family. He has just returned from England after being kicked out by his father to a reform school for a decade. Of course, this young master is the problem child of the family. Blond hair, tattoos all over his body, and he doesn't work. He also has a criminal record as long as a kite's tail.... "If my father knew his son was being taken advantage of by his former driver, he'd be furious." "But I don't want to mess with Dad. I want to see what your face looks like when you're getting fucked, old man." It seems that karma will catch up with Charn within an hour.... Disclaimer: Please use discretion when reading. Characters have an age gap of 20+ years, but they start their relationship when both are adults. There is no grooming or sexual exploitation while the other is underage. Warning: The male lead in this story is dangerously red-flagged (very problematic). He alternates between being possessed and normal. There are displays of possessiveness and sub-dom play.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Of Blood and Duty
Wattpad Exclusive! Nearly beaten to death, a man wakes up in a place he does not know. Neither can he remember how he even ended up there. Waking up in the middle of a road he discovers a world of pain only to drift off into unconsciousness again. His body having been crushed and broken beyond his wildest dreams. Falling out of consciousness from the pain, he later wakes up in a bed. A new place he does not know, but being looked after by someone. A woman. Why was he in the care of this beautiful but strange person? How had he ended up in her care? Why had she taken him in and why was she and everyone else so guarded around him? Determined to make his way back home, wherever that may be, the man soon realizes that things are not as easy as he first had thought. Learning to fit in with the people who took him in at the brink of death, he learns that a war is raging between two kingdoms, and which one he belongs to, he cannot remember... if he belongs with to any of them. All he has to remind him of his life before is a sword with a crest of two lions on its pommel... and a woman named Jade who screams for him in his sleep. This is a spin off of The Prince's Choice and Hunted Queen. I recommend reading those two before this one to get the best experience possible!Abgeschlossene Geschichte
From the Ashes (A School for Good and Evil Fanfic)
A letter. A secret. And a boy named Ash. This was supposed to be their happily ever after, but Hester isn't so sure. Maybe it has something to do with the letter from an old acquaintance, one that makes her doubt every memory. Maybe it's the secrets from her past that keep coming back to haunt her. Or maybe it's the feelings for her best friend that she can't seem to ignore. Everything turns upside down when a little boy named Ash enters town, a boy who looks eerily similar to the witches' former enemy. There's something ancient, something haunted in Ash's eyes, and with the mysterious Society of Mount Ingerthorn as well as the wicked warlock Zephyr Killoran on the boy's tail, it certainly won't be long until the Coven figures out what, whether they want to or not... This story is a fanfiction portraying the events subsequent to the closing of "The One True King" by Soman Chanani, as well as following the unknown backstory of one of our favorite witches, Hester of Ravenswood. I also did a piece on Anadil's backstory as a part of my previous story, Chaos Rising. A new chapter of this story will be posted every Saturday (or Sunday, but I try for Saturday) WARNING: There is a bit of violence in this story, about the same as the original SGE series. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except for Ash, Lilith, Zephyr, and the Society of Mount IngerthornAbgeschlossene Geschichte
