His world was split in two by the hands of darkness and he will stop at nothing to return his family home. Fabien dwells in the security of the Upper World, never comforted in the absence of those he lost to the Underneath, where each victim was pulled under with a promise of no return.A world below the surface impenetrable to residents of the Upper world. Locked to everyone. Everyone but Fabien. Ensnared in a world of misfortune and grasped ever tighter by the rising king and governement, Fabien is running out of time to save the ones he loves.That's until he is stolen away into the withered Underneath and into the clutches of a tenebrous queen and her shadows. A bargain becomes the only hope to find his family- a bargain that cannot be broken. Fabien must navigate a world of nightmares alongside a witty bandit, an un-trusting general and the source of darkness itself- Doreah Damaris the queen of the Underneath.

NOTE
My first story on wattpad, would love any advice people could offer! Far from completed and changes may be in order later down the line.

WATTYS SHORT LIST! When sixteen-year-old Sasha Nikolayeva opens her eyes on a horrifying tableau of dead and dying bodies, she can only hope to wake up. But the nightmare, if that's what it is, doesn't end. Instead, Sasha finds herself rendered mute and enslaved by a society which doesn't recognize her as a human being. To the citizens of Kingsgarden, "thralls" like Sasha are automatons brought into being by mages, incapable of speech or independent thought. Hidden behind a carefully crafted mask of soulless neutrality, Sasha silently endures starvation, degradation, and physical abuse at the hands of her captors as she watches and waits for an opportunity to escape into the glittering, majestic capital city of Kingsgarden. Despite visions of her old life which strongly suggest that she is suffering from some sickness of the mind--a neurological disorder, or perhaps simple insanity--Sasha is determined to take matters into her own hands and find her way home, whether she is imprisoned truly in a foreign land or only in her own mind. But as time goes by, Sasha finds herself drawn to the beauty and vitality of the City...and to the handsome Beastspeaker who only wants to give her his heart. Sasha knows she has no choice but to leave it all behind in order to go home, but she can't help but begin to wonder if "home" is where she thought it was and if the line between reality and madness is as fixed as it seems. This is a very early version of my novel "A Garden of Light and Shadows" which is currently under agent consideration. Cross your fingers for me!
