The year is 1803. The Napoleonic Wars have just begun, and Europe is in turmoil. Britain, however, has managed to stay out of it for the most part. This all changes on the 18th of May, of that bloody year. Forced to declare war on France due to constant raiding of their trading lanes, Britain gives a call to arms to as many men as they can rally to fight back Napoleons army's. Thomas Westcott never thought it would extend to him. However, when his sister is kidnapped by French Marines in a raid on England's coast, he has no choice but to join up to try and save her. Will he manage to reach her in time, or will she be whisked away forever, lost in the sea of people that was the burgeoning French Empire?

Purple and Gold (The Many Colours of Life and Death AU)
Tired of seeing all those RusAme stories? Or those historical ones that only contain countries from WWI, and only have ships in them (not the boat kind): Well, this book doesn't have either! It has historical main characters from before the 1900s, no ships and lots of action and violence! :D Sadly, this does not contain any actual history, mainly just random countries who didn't even live at the same time fighting each other. It was mainly for fun. Credit to @AdranRavenCH for coming up with the name for the AU (and possibly the series) Imagine if Countryhumans each had a power. One power each. The ability to manipulate the mind, for example. Being able to control fire or water. Turning everyone you touch into solid Gold. Alliances created. Trust broken. Friends and allies betrayed. Lies. Blood. Death. War. Gold.Complete
The Two Roses - Book 1
England, 1450. King Henry VI has been on the throne for almost thirty years, and has failed to live up to the legacy of his father, Henry V, the victor of Agincourt. His early reign was dominated by two uncles, the Duke of Gloucester and Bishop of Winchester, who were constantly working to overrule each other. Against Gloucester's wishes, a peace was brokered with France in 1445, and King Henry was wedded to the French King's niece, Margaret. Gloucester and Winchester are now dead, replaced as chief minister by the allied Dukes of Suffolk and Somerset. The English province of Normandy has fallen to the French and Suffolk, has taken the blame. With the threat of unrest in the kingdom, Suffolk is sent into exile on the continent. But the common people are determined not to be cheated out of justice... Updates will come, but may be slow going. This book is the first in a planned three-part series about the Wars of the Roses, what I'm provisionally calling 'York and Lancaster'. To be perfectly honest, I wrote this mainly for myself, so if you do end up reading and enjoying it, let me know. I have tried to keep the narrative as neutral as possible. If multiple characters have the same name, then the one who appeared second is likely the son of the former (e.g. after Thomas Courtenay, 5th Earl of Devon, died in 1458, his son, also called Thomas, became 6th Earl of Devon). Characters with titles will be referred to by their title (e.g. 'Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter' will be referred to as 'Exeter'.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.
