Thistle in the Sky | #NONC2022 | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest.

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019 by Kehanni

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixie

Septerra Inframagus: Claim Of the Invictus. [REWRITING] by lilgirlalgaea

Ischel wakes up with a hole in her heart every morning, knowing she can't leave the house. Most days she wouldn't risk it, and on that summer trip she wished she hadn't. Ischel loses her mother during the trip, and all she spared was a waterproof notebook which is the only thing that connects her to her family, and a half complete word. Overcome with grief, Ischel was sure that someone had staged a well planned kidnap of her mother, and embarked on a journey of finding her. When a hiding stranger completes the word, Ischel is compelled to listen to him and under his guidance sets out to find her real home, Inframagus, hidden under the seas of the real world, her mother's past, and uncover the truth about herself. But when Ischel returns she isn't the only one who's back home. Will the people of her land accept her? Or would she have to prove to them that she belongs, by claiming the chaos into her own hands. (If you're looking for cliffhangers, brother-sister fights, tragedy, affection, friendship, love, action and of course magic, I'm glad to say it's all in here.) This book is completed.

Where the Stars Fall by AnaSimons

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home. This edition has been fully revised with added and edited content.

Nova da Silva moved from Dothan Alabama to Los Angeles to escape her abusive ex, Dean. She is rebuilding her life in a strange city, where she finds a new friend in her roommate Hannah and takes on a job at a nightclub to make ends meet. Due to her past, she has built high walls around her heart and has sworn to never lose herself in a man again. Is it that easy, though? Will she be able to resist temptation when she finds herself drawn to not only the handsome actor Matthew but also her colleague, the supposedly bad boy Dallas? Will one of them be able to tear down her walls? And if they succeed, will she overcome her insecurities in time or shall fate decide otherwise, sending both men into the arms of another?
