The entire realm is on the brink of war, when two sides both equally concerned with the discovery of crystals and it's mysterious abilities dispute its obtainability. The side of the Paladins argue it's power should be given equal to all- the Magistrate attest that such power is dangerous and should not be distributed to just anybody. Everyone seems to have picked a side, but what about Maeve?
  
 Growing up on the cold streets of Hailstead, she knows almost everything that is about crystals. How so? She steals them. 
  
  Maeve is adopted into a clan of thieves who are keen on helping her. But when something goes deeply wrong, one night, she is kicked back onto the streets. 
  
 Word spreads quickly of her ancestry, as Maeve is thrust into hiding, seething and looking for revenge. The reality of her situation settles in fast- she is truly alone and she must survive on her own, by any means necessary. 
  
 So when word of a new Magistrate weapons emerges, crystal powered, and potentially game changing, Maeve sets a new goal for herself.

MAEVE [Arc 1] by WakeBurns

"Sometimes I wonder what my mother would say if I ever told her where I was or what I was doing. I was never proud of it. Stealing things was never something I ever wanted to do, but I'm forced to. She always told me I was like the rain: quiet and silent, yet lovely and inviting. I never really understood what my mother meant by that. It wasn't until recently that it dawned on me. The rain doesn't particularly bother me. It never has. I find it more soothing than annoying, but perhaps that's because just like me, you only remember it exists when it's there." -Maeve (This story is best experienced blind.

Tempris by StephieFisher

[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.

Paladin by SallySlater

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.
