Shaye Vedras  trespasses into faerie lands to find a cure for her dying twin sister, Mira. She's searching for the famed and possibly mythical Orrin plant and it's cure-all berries. When she succeeds on her mission, she thinks she's outwitted the fae and escaped their grasp, but is interrupted in her reunion with her family to find a powerful fae, Lilith Blackmar, accusing her of theft. For the six berries she stole, she will spend six months of each year as a prisoner in the fae realms. But Lilith is more than she seems, and Shaye finds herself increasingly drawn into the politics of fae life and her relationship with the mysterious Lilith.

Chasing Fairies by TheArdentPen
30 parts Complete Mature
[complete] "A human, a wulver, and a fairy walk into a witch's hut." It was like the start of a bad joke. Fleeing from her home in the States after the death of her only family member, Atrium McKenna comes to Gargunnock, Scotland to mourn the death of her uncle. She meets up with a group of merry men led by the charming Callum who takes a downtrodden Atrium under his wing. Their unlikely friendship forges the way into a world that until now, she only thought existed in fairy-tales. An apparition of a beautifully androgynous woman leaves her with more questions than answers on the legitimacy of her sanity and the security of her heart. While her uncle leaves behind secrets that make her ask one question: who was she? With a target on her head, Atrium struggles to protect herself and come to terms with the new world they have thrust her into. There's no turning back and dark magic is laying siege to those she cares about. Would she have time to understand and come to terms with it before it's too late? **This is the unedited first copy of Chasing Fairies.

Queen of Chaos and The Forgotten Witch by AuthorZelia
50 parts Complete Mature
A warrior's place is not in hiding yet that is exactly where Mira finds herself; hoping that the creatures had forgotten her name, forgotten what she had done. Until her previous Commander appears, bringing the very news she never thought she would hear- that the only creature with the knowledge to break the curse is finally in their possession and willing to work with her. For years, this curse has prevented all of the creatures from accessing their powers. Without their power, they stand no chance of surviving against their greatest enemy, the fae, whose attacks seem to be growing more frequent and devastating. With Deimos, the only creature unaffected by the curse, in her possession, Mira finds herself negotiating the terms of a deal that are not nearly as harsh as they should be and spending her every waking moment catering to the most feared monster. Mira knows better than to believe it was all a mere coincidence; to not assume the fae have something far bigger planned. Deimos too. Despite it all, the biggest challenge she faces is how to conceal her own ulterior motives and lies from her new team. A few quick notes... ~The story is the first in a series and depending on interest, I will write and publish the following books in the series, AS WELL AS other spinoff stories in the same world. ~I have completed writing and editing the entire book so I will be uploading a few chapters each day until the entire book is posted. ~Happy reading! I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing it! and please feel to leave comments as you read. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts, theories, etc... ~I do not own the book cover photo. All credit is due to the creator and I will be changing it once I have my own made. ~I own all rights to this story, the characters, and the world created within.
Book 1: Cursed [Being Rewritten] by Blossem21
26 parts Complete
Being rewritten [Book 1 of The Demoness's Chronicles] Alice was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage as a baby during a cold winter night. She got abused by the children and ignored by the caretakers except for a hand few in the orphanage. The reason was that she was at the bottom of the food chain as she had the least amount of mana. She wouldn't be able to cast a single spell even if she had a secondary [Uncommon] element as her element as she would have insufficient mana to power it up. Her two best friends, Mika and Yuu, who are also her big brothers in all but blood, have the most amount of mana that they could be acknowledged as a blessed OR gifted child. They were there to help, protect and comfort her when she was in pain, felt lonely or needed them. Until one day, her life started to change and her wheel of fate started moving. She had gained a new family with Mika and Yuu but found out that there was a huge conspiracy going on that caused her abandonment and was linked to her family's legacy. Join Alice as she journey to show the world her strength and take revenge on her enemies that had harmed her and her loved ones! These are all I can tell you guys if you want to find out more, please read and enjoy! •~•~•~•~• "Good-bye, my little Alice" •~•~•~•~• "Would you like me to take you away from here?" •~•~•~•~• "Wha...Mom?" •~•~•~•~• [My summary is quite bad since it's my first story.

51 parts Complete
The land of Aleron can be a treacherous place to live. None knows this better than the leïfae, a race of half-breed elves. When four leïfaen youths' entire livelihood is destroyed, they have no choice but to try and survive the cruelties of the world. Taëlenna finds herself in the home of Prince Antalos after tragedy strikes. As she adjusts to her new surroundings, she begins to discover secrets hidden behind the false truths she has somehow found herself in. What are these secrets? What kind of threat do they present? Serena and Kay are taken away from their village after a vicious attack. The other leïfaen prisoners are being used for something, but for what? Nothing good could possibly come from what their captors have in mind for them. Renefaire is rescued and taken care of by the navine; a tribe of nomadic humans who are practiced in the arts of medicine. With no home to return to, she begins to learn the ways of the navine's medicinal practices so she can help others the same way the navine have helped her. But still, she longs to return to her home, to find if any more of her people survived the attack on their home. Their stories took different turns, yet their paths have been destined to cross once again in the future for something much bigger than they ever could have imagined. ~*~*~*~ This is a really old draft. I'm currently working on the new draft and the story is basically nothing like it used to be. But I still hope that you enjoy it. I loved writing this version so much.
