Once upon a time, an advanced civilization resided in the Polaris system. Its people were immortal and capable of crossing dimensions. But pride goes before a fall; they revolted against their divine creator and were massacred. The sole survivor, known to the humans as the Wayfarer, was banished from its homeworld. To be forgiven and allowed to return, it must drift through the universe and commit twelve acts of penitence.

This story chronicles the Wayfarer's road to penitence, as well as its intertwining with the rise and fall of human empires.

Ensemble [Book 1: SEKTOR V Trilogy] by SEKTORV

Meet Stanley Dial, an average shmoe, who also happens to be the world's best and most unlikely time traveler in the year 2044. Saddled deep in debt, and sweating the details of an all-or-nothing bet that could seal his family's fate, Stanley finds himself caught up in an epic battle between two secretive organizations striving to control Earth's future. On one side, the government-run Ministry aggressively employs its "Big Brother" Sweeper program to routinely scan the near future for society-altering anomalies. Armed with this information, agents return to the present and covertly neutralize any undesirable outcomes that would adversely disrupt the status quo. Meanwhile, the much smaller and resource-challenged Underground use their own time travel technology and advanced scientific simulators to thwart Ministry efforts to manipulate the natural order of societal free will. Amid the chaos, Stanley becomes a pawn in their deadly game of cat and mouse. Will his hidden skill be enough to save Mankind from a decidedly dark and desperate future?

A Fallen HomeKin by ToWolfKin

|| 2024 AMBY FANTASY FAVOURITE | ×5 FEATURED || When the ever-skittish, homesick, twelve-year old Fralith accidentally-on-purpose stops a kidnapping, no one knows what to think--especially Fralith. Newly stranded on a planet not his own through a misdirected HomeKin portal, where MetalEaters roar and people stand around staring at rectangles, Fralith struggles to puzzle out rules of the world before he gets eaten. But not all things in this new world are out to get him, and some are even trying to save him. When a flame--haired man begins to teach him the ways of the new world, Fralith starts to realize that there might be hope, healing, and home on this planet. A Fallen HomeKin is a heart-warming, hunger-inducing, adorable story about grief, home, and encountering an entirely alien world. ❗NOW A PUBLISHED BOOK❗ | | 2024 Ambys Fantasy Top Pick 20/1/2025 | | Featured on Fantasy, Middle Grade and Children's Fantasy 8/4/2023 | | Featured on StoriesUndiscovered, Tales of Adventure 5/2/2023 | | Featured on Fantasy, Magical Realism 24/6/2024 | | Featured on Fantasy, Fantasy Spotlight 25/3/2025 | | Featured on Wattpad Ambassadors, Speculative Fiction 30/5/2025 | #1 in the Maddy's awards | #1 in Fantasy in Gloria Regali | #2 in contemporary/teen in Lunar Paragons | And many more! ***This draft is exclusively published on W A T T P A D.
