When you’ve been accused of kidnapping an emperor, and every enforcer in the city wants your head, it’s hard to prove yourself an honorable person and even harder to earn an imperial pardon.

That doesn’t keep Amaranthe Lokdon and her team of outlaws from trying. When athletes start disappearing from the Imperial Games, they may finally have an opportunity to show the emperor that they’re on his side. If she and her comrades can get to the bottom of such a public mystery, they’re sure to get the credit.

But plans go awry when Amaranthe’s own men start plotting against each other, the new ally she’d hoped to acquire tries to turn her in, and her best fighter—and closest friend—disappears.

Maybe getting involved wasn’t such a good idea after all…

The legendary Arcane Warriors, once thought lost to the annals of history, are whispered to be returning, bringing with them the promise of unparalleled power. Arin Valtor, a humble blacksmith from the isolated village of Hearthglen, discovers he is the key to this ancient legacy when his home is razed by the ruthless warlord, Lord Varkas.

Warriors #3: Shifting Shadows by warriorcatlover345

It has been six moons since Goldenshine has become a warrior, but as she grows, she struggles as her loyalty begins to waver, causing her to question herself, and her dedication as a warrior. Meanwhile, Lilypetal discovers that her kin seems to have secrets. She notices that Goldenshine, Thornclaw, and Mistpelt all have something that they are not telling her. She wonders if there is another secret about the Clans that she could have never discovered, or rather, a secret about herself that she wasn't aware of. ***DISCLAIMER*** This book has been SIGNIFICANTLY edited and rewritten since I first released it, so I'm sorry if you look at the comments and you are utterly confused! And also, just to respect Wattpad's guidelines, I will say, that as a Warriors book, there is the mildest of mild violence! *Cover image is official Warrior Cats art

Deathsworn Vol. II by MichaelPanter5

*** Sequel to Watty's winner 2018 *** Best read after Vol. I "Killing is the draught that must needs be drunk. Guilt is but the coin we use to pay for it." Moons have passed and wounds have healed, but the memories of Hammar are as lucid for Bard as the future is bleak. Once more the Gallowmen must venture forth armed with their wits, their weapons and their will, united in the knowledge that only through death can they purchase life. Their relationship with the Burned Priests straddles the edge of a wicked knife, and though their list may grow shorter, patience is a commodity that has run its course. Now the Gallowmen must travel as far east as one can go, to a corner of the map thats notoriety lies in it being perilously unforgiving to those who know it not. Here, death stalks the jungles, creatures of the dark hold dominion, and life is a luxury pledged only to the strong. At the edge of the world, Bard and his rogues must navigate more than mere men to get what they need. Their life is their list ... if they can survive long enough to see it through. *Deathsworn Vol II is a spin-off story from a much larger trilogy I'm currently writing for publication. Comments/reviews/feedback would be greatly appreciated wherever possible. Volume I of IV is COMPLETE ... Enjoy.
