In an era where new machinery has brought stability, peculiarities are a direct attack against a secure way of life. These peculiarities often come in the form of people with supernatural abilities. Terrified of ostracization, they are forced into a life of suppression and normalcy. To make matters worse, groups of mech enhanced hunters are dedicated to capturing Peculiars and ridding them from the world. 

Winnifred Graham is a Peculiar with a control over gravity. After years of being doomed to the earth, she longs for freedom. Her opportunity comes in the form of Edgar Strange, a man who is fascinated by Peculiars and seeks to rescue them from their hateful society.

Winnifred and Strange embark on a journey across the world to find other Peculiars and take them to a place of acceptance. With hunters on their trail, fearful villages, and a mysterious man hot on their heels, they can't afford to let their guard down. However, even in the midst of chaos, Winnifred and Strange's growing ragtag bunch of Peculiars make time for a few small adventures along the way.

The powers that come with a covenant are strong, intoxicating and head-turning. Like a surfer on the waves, you feel on top of the world. Until the wave comes tumbling down, crashing upon you. Such was the case of Ella Macmillior alias Aquifer, chosen of the Seven Seas to open the portal for Lord Dagon, Leviathan, Behemoth and the Queen of the Coast to invade the earth realm. She didn't ever want to be controlled. She wanted to control. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be the case. She was destined to be a mere tool to be used and dumped. A slave. There was no backing out. She was stuck deep in the mud. The heat was stifling, gradually siphoning life out of her. Until she encountered her means of escape. Until she broke free from a lifelong shackle. Or so she thought... Beware, lest your foe pounces upon you like an unsuspecting prey. Beware, lest you are led to assume that the flame of evil has been quenched. Because, as you stomp on one, squelching the flickering embers, the minions are just around the corner, gathering sticks to ignite another fire. Ella Macmillor, chosen vessel of the seven seas who has water-bending powers, meets Deborah, a vessel of the One called the Redeemer, and breaks free from the clutches of her captors-Mergirlina, her assigned mermaid demon, Leviathan, Behemoth and Queen of the Coast and the head of them all, the ancient Lord Dagon. Find out how she battles her hideous past, finds her formerly unknown siblings, finds love and becomes truly free. ~~~ Second place winner of The Seasonal Contest Awards, paranormal category. #tsc22 First place winner of The Phoenix Awards 2022, Mystery and thriller category.

"I LOVED IT" - Clumsy_weirdo_353 "So your sister likes to get drunk and beat up guys twice her size," Taylor said, her eyes closed. "Yup." A beat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." Another slice of silence. "So you really can fight," she said. "Yup." A single heartbeat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." "Cool. Cool, cool, cool." Taylor squinted at him, his outward calm mystifying. "You're taking this a lot better than I imagined," she said. He shrugged, but like a bomb, he exploded. "Holy- You can teleport!" Taylor nodded once with the inevitable. "Yeah, that was more like what I was expecting." Taylor's life has been thrown into tailspin. Since discovering she could teleport six months ago she's been trying to juggle being a high school student by day, and a vigilante by night with failing results. Unable to stay awake in classes from her late nights, her grades are dropping fast, and to top it off her exhaustion has she left friendless. When saving late night employees from a burning building puts Taylor in the path of a dangerous criminal, she ends up in an altercation that forces her to realize she needs help. Help comes from two unlikely people: Clint and Dominic who bring their own complications. As the problems keep building, Taylor is quickly learning that having an ability doesn't mean she knows how to protect the city, let alone herself. "It was amazing!!! And really realistic for a superhero book, you even found an explanation for why she has her powers. It also shows that even though she has powers she still is human" - gui_iris "OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK WITH ALL MY HEART" - _cooloreo_ "I laughed, I cried, I screamed out in frustration, but that's what makes this book so amazing, along with the amazing character growth and plot twists that still got me reeling to this day 😂" - Theaxbank "This is a delightful action packed read that'll keep you at the edge of your seat. Would recommend." Miathesmall

❖ ''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.
