Lyra Valentine was a nobody, always keeping quiet in the back of the classroom. She was just simply different from everyone else and because of it abused by her fellow classmates. But the one question that rang everyday in Lyra's head was how was she different. I mean she wasn't really different from the others but apparently she was for if she wasn't she wouldn't suffer so much.
At home it's just the same, abused and neglected by her adoptive parents Lyra has no one. Not even a friend to call her own. But what Lyra has is her drawings, beautiful drawings of the characters from a story she writes of two twin boys with hair the color of darkness and eyes of the ocean. In her story they protect her and are her friends. Being stuck in a fantasy of imagination would suffice for Lyra and no one would tell her otherwise. But when that fantasy turns to a reality she just doesn't know what's real anymore.

THIS BOOK IS COMPLETED but it will be HEAVILY EDITED and have things added to it in the future. I wrote this book when I was much younger. I didn't expect it to reach this amount of popularity so I will devote my time to bettering it in the future. ------------------ Every year, in our village and the neighbouring villages, we encounter, on what is suppose to be the most divine and celebrated day of the year, a visit from the 'big bad wolf'. At least that's what the children call him. Adults like to call him "inhuman" or a "wild ravenous monster". However, the majority settle for "beast". No one knows why he ruins this specific day for us, the day we can celebrate our species: werewolves. Some despise him for taking this day from us and forcefully exchanging our merry and joyful laughs to screams of fear. When that specific day of the year approaches us, none of us are ever prepared for it. He always comes at night. We are told to lock our windows, draw our curtains and our doors. We are told to hide. There's one main rule that we have: don't look at him. Because if you do, no one knows what'll happen to you. Maybe that's the worse part, not knowing your fate. Not knowing the outcome of your foolish actions. If he comes roaming your streets, you have a right to be scared. Us "maidens" are always encouraged to hide ourselves the most, it's women that he supposedly wants more. However, I believe that that is a cautionary excuse. He'll take you, no matter how old or how young, no matter how innocent or how corrupt, no matter your gender, all it takes is a look. Either he looks at you, or you look at him, or you both exchange looks. Either way, his senses will pick you up, and you can't hide. It'll be too late. The amazing cover is by @-blackrogue.

REVEALED
Night has always been alone. Abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage, he learned to live with the pain of being forgotten. Though the caretakers were kind, their warmth never seemed to reach him, and school was even worse-a place where bullies thrived, and no one cared enough to help. The weight of loneliness became unbearable, pushing him to run away. But on that fateful night, just as he thought it was all over, a mysterious being saved him from the brink of death. The next morning, Night woke up, confused and shaken. Had he really survived? Or was something else at play? His world turned upside down when a new student transferred to his class-someone who looked exactly like him. Light, the new student, was the opposite of Night. Warm, kind, and strangely familiar, he seemed to know more about Night than he let on. As Light walked into his life, things began to change. The bullies who tormented Night suddenly hesitated, and for the first time, someone stood up for him. But there was something unnatural about Light-something that defied reason. As Night's past unravels and the truth behind Light's existence comes to light, he will have to confront the questions he never dared to ask. He will have to ask questions for the truth to be revealed. Who is Light? Why does he know Night so well? And why, for the first time in his life, does Night feel like he truly belongs?
Witchbound 1
In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.Complete

Eternal Winter
Waking up, alone in the cold and surrounded by snow with no memories of how she got there or who she even is, was not how Lyra would have wished to start her new life. Only by the guidance of the man who found her, the man who became her teacher in both life and magic, was she able to find comfort and meaning. But just when she begins to accept her new life, even amidst the ominous, never-ending snowfall, she is forced on the run. As she hunts down the very person who started it all--and sentenced her new beginning to death--she finds missing pieces of her past. Although, it's a past she wishes she never remembered, because, maybe then, she would have been able to live without guilt...or fear.
