magic mirror treasurehunt youngadult

A hunt for a magical treasure that could pay a dowry - or win a war.

Raltarn and his uncle are entrepreneurs, struggling to make an honest living - or failing that, any sort of living - as Raltarn scrapes together a dowry for his fiancée Shanu. Shanu's father, tired of waiting, gives Raltarn an ultimatum - double your fortune in three months or the wedding is off. 

While clearing junk from a dead man's house, Raltarn finds a magic mirror that can communicate instantaneously with an identical mirror over great distances. The pair could provide him with a dowry - and might give his country the edge it needs in the long war with its neighbour. When the other mirror proves to be thousands of miles away, across dangerous seas and unexplored lands, Raltarn and his uncle decide the risks are worth it, but they soon discover they are not the only ones who see the opportunity for power and profit...

Please note: I won't be uploading the whole book to Wattpad, at least not for the foreseeable future. I'll be going as far as chapter 10, which is about a fifth of the way through. If you like the story enough to want to read the rest of it, it's available as an ebook and in print from Amazon, and as an ebook from Smashwords.

Court Of Tethers and Ruin *A dark fae fantasy- romance* by laurenHPierce

"My mother warned me the fae are closer to gods than men. She never warned me what happens when gods wake up." The night the moon shattered it rained glittering shards upon the world. Fragments of divine power, each capable of increasing one's power and rendering the immortal Fae truly deathless. For the Fae King Kairos, they are not only his hope to save his crumbling Night Court from oblivion. They are a necessity to securing his rule and destroying those who oppose him. For Aylara Al'thaire, they bring only ruin. Aylara sees what others cannot: the golden threads of fate binding every soul to the connections they make in life. This gift has protected her human village for generations. But when Kairos's army storms her home, slaughtering all in their hunt for the fallen shards, her sight offers no escape. Only a bargain. To save her people, Aylara pledges herself to the Night King. In return for their lives, she will enter his treacherous court as his pawn-posed as his concubine, forced to use her unraveling gift to root out the traitor threatening his throne amidst the trials. As courts clash and ancient powers stir, Aylara walks a razor's edge: one misstep means her village burns and her fragile alliance with Kairos shatters, or the terrifying power of the shards consumes them all. Survival demands trust. But in the courts of fae, trust is the deadliest trial of all. ***************************** Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (18+) Themes: - Enemies to lovers - Strong female main character - Protective / obsessive male main character - Fated mates - Prisoner-ally relationship - Court politics - Trails And so much more!

Rags to Riches. Really? (1st book of Really? Series) by RissaleWriter

Being a princess was not something that Mira Lamont wanted to hear. And being in line for a country that she had never heard of was slightly unnerving to the girl that has to take care of her family with little to no money. So, being rich over night was something that Mira had never dreamed about. It didn't matter that she had to raise five siblings by herself. She knew that she would do anything to protect them. So as a deal has been set between this mysterious grandmother of hers and Mira, the Lamont children leave their drunken mother behind and move to the palace that was bound to be hers. Can she handle the responsibility that she has been given? Or will she break under the pressure of having so little for a long time and getting more than she could ever imagine? And so, Mira changes her combat boots for dainty heels to prove to herself and to the kingdom that a rag can become rich. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

The Mirror Seas [UNCOMPLETED] by SpongeGoesHard

The Mirror Seas are an otherworldly expanse that stretch far beyond the horizon, appearing at first glance like calm waters but, in truth, made of enchanted glass. Their surface shimmers and reflects the sky and everything around it with eerie clarity, as if reality itself is duplicated upon them. Beneath the glass lies the Mirror Realm, a dark and distorted version of the surface world where reflections take on lives of their own-sometimes twisted, dangerous, and independent. The seas are not static; they shift subtly, their glassy surface rippling like liquid in moments of high magic or danger. Sailing across them is perilous, as sailors often report glimpses of their reflections behaving differently from their true selves, or seeing visions of things that haven't happened yet-or perhaps, things that never will. These glimpses lure many to madness or worse. Navigating the Mirror Seas requires great skill and a strong will, as the deeper one sails, the thinner the veil between the two worlds becomes, and the more reality itself warps. Ships can get trapped in pockets where the mirrored world pulls them down beneath the glass, never to return. Only the bravest-or the most desperate-dare to cross these treacherous waters, seeking power, knowledge, or something lost. At their heart lies the mysterious source of the Mirror Seas' power-an ancient artifact tied to the lost race of **mirror-walkers**, beings who once ruled both realms. Few have ventured there and lived to tell the tale, and fewer still have returned unchanged. (This novel is heavily inspired by One Piece yk the Anime... or something like that)
