Heather Carlton believes she is a remarkable lady. She had been trained in etiquette since she turned twelve, managed to convince her parents to let her live as she wanted to and she always has a trick up her sleeve. Despite being one of Keydon's two heirs, she was invisible. Always careful to stay out of the public's eye.

Astor Hemingway knows what it is to be a gentleman. He knows what is or isn't proper. And he knows his life's work isn't deemed decent enough as one of the first in line to the throne. But he had worked too hard to throw it all away for the sake of a title.

The Carltons and The Hemingways have spent decades at each other's throats, building a relationship on distrust, paranoia and conspiracy. For generations they had fought and lied, but always with a thin line of respect. A line that was crossed at the sight of a mutilated corpse.

In the chaos of feuds, heirs and the king's sudden death, the kingdom is faced with the news of a dignitary who simply disappeared. Seeking help from her rival, Heather takes it as a chance to escape and search for her missing cousin.

A choice she would regret to make.

Echoes of The Forgotten by _farasha_
13 parts Ongoing
In a quiet coastal town, a mysterious journal is found, tucked between the pages of a random book. It belongs to an explorer who vanished a century ago while searching for a mythical island believed to grant immortality. The journal, filled with cryptic symbols and half-finished maps, falls into the hands of Seraphina, a curious librarian who has always felt drawn to the ocean but never understood why. As Seraphina decodes the journal, she uncovers long-buried secrets about her town and her own lineage. She discovers that her ancestors were part of the last expedition to the island, but none of them ever returned. Driven by a desire to uncover the truth and finally understand the connection, she assembles a small group of misfits, including a curious cartographer, a daring treasure hunter, and a historian who knows to pay attention to detail. Together, they embark on a life-threatening journey across treacherous waters, facing mystical sea creatures, ancient traps, and a rival crew chasing the same prize. Along the way, they confront the possibility that the island's immortality might come at a terrible cost. The deeper they go, the more Seraphina realizes that some mysteries are better left buried.

❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first Chosen One ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021
