The Western Isles is home to the wild, mythological creatures that are fawnlings: Deer and horse hybrids, resembling that of unicorns. Far away from all human contact, the isles keep numerous animals safe - as safe as the mythological world can be. The isles are fraught with magical beings, vicious manifestations, and lovely sorts of nature; all at exposure of the five kingdoms: The proud Glenmore, the cunning Blackwood, the hardy Windborne, the logical Silverthorne, and the secretive Oakfern.

Deep within Glenmore, Leila was born. Her parents were both loving and nurturing. She grew aside her little sister and older brother. Life was good until Leila's sister turned her back on her, swearing off all connection to her big sister for she claimed to have outgrown "sisterly affiliations." Leila left her family in search of that familiar feeling of being safe, sound, and loved. As a teenager, Leila imagines a perfect life ahead of her: A tall prince charming, loyal friends, wrongful enemies, and beautiful foals. However, Leila is about to embark on something much more terrifying. She will soon find that life is not as imagination mends it to be... Leila will discover betrayal, experience abandonment, and for the first time in her young life, grasp the concept of life and death.

Unicorns. Ah, yes such beautiful creatures indeed. Mystical creatures that dwell unseen in the depths of forests, unheard from for centuries.

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor. I scramble backwards as he approaches me, his cheeks scarlet with rage, his pupils the size of needle points. In fourteen years, I've never seen him this mad. I've really done it this time. -------------------- (COMPLETED) Life is hard when nowhere feels like home. For Layla Dodds, there is only one goal: survival.

Welcome to Willow Tree Stables, home to the famous "horse whisperer" Mary Lane. At age 15, turning 16, Mary had worked with abused horses her whole life, with the help of her mother and her friends. They helped them get to trust in humans again and make the unrideable horses rideable. However, like most people, there are secrets that she kept from people and people kept from her. The biggest one is about her father being the famous, yet mythical, Santa Clause. Sure, she knew that he was her father. However, as time went on, Mary had forgotten about her father and just thought that her mother was the only one that had lived in her life. Another secret is how she became known as the "horse whisperer". She could speak to animals in her mind, but is she the only one or are there others like her, who can talk to animals with her mind? What happens when a boy comes into her life, and all she thinks about is how aggravating he is? Sure, he knows the secret about who Mary is, but she doesn't like him one bit, even though her best friend likes him from the start. Will she figure out who she is before it's too late? Or will she perish at the hand of something or someone that doesn't want her alive? _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

Southern Charm by anj6232

Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

A Song of Faithless Shadows by yourlocalsag
93 parts Complete Mature
Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

Hopeful Hooves: A Unicorn Friendship Tale

15 parts Ongoing

The word "unicorn" comes from the Latin word meaning one horn, so did you know that not every unicorn with one horn is a horse? It can be a donkey, an antelope, a deer, a goat, or even a rhinoceros? So some have existed in the past, some still exist today, and some will only exist in our heads. A dark pall has taken over the land of the Equinicorns-the horse-like ones. The land is fruitless; the flowers have not bloomed, smiles have almost disappeared from every herd, and worst of all-nobody cares for each other. Since the Great War, the land has been split into four sections, and the horses without horns have abandoned the horses with them, and no one can meet one who is not like them. When Charity, a crippled alicorn princess struck with bitterness, receives a mysterious note from her grandfather, she embarks on a quest to find several qualities to heal their land. Along the way, she meets a lot of new friends, including a happy, lively Persian Onager unicorn, a shy but courageous hybrid of a zebra and a unicorn, a temperamental two-horned Abada (okay, not a unicorn, but some Abadas can have one horn, so that counts?), and a tiny but strong goat!
