My eyes have seen all the sorrows life has to give but when life gives you sour lemons, you make grapes...
Elaine Hall, a lowly maid within the esteemed walls of the duke's castle, weathers the storms of a harsh life, enduring a woeful childhood that seamlessly extends into a challenging adulthood. However, the tides of her destiny shift dramatically when betrayed by her fellow maids, cast adrift into the perilous expanse beyond the castle's protective embrace.
Refusing to languish in adversity, Elaine seizes the reins of her fate, aligning herself with the notorious band of thieves that casts a shadow over the kingdom of Foresham. Together, they embark on a audacious quest to wrest control from the ruling powers.
Yet, amidst the cloak-and-dagger world of thievery and rebellion, Elaine stumbles upon a revelation that transcends the mundane. She discovers whispers of an otherworldly lineage, hinting at a heritage beyond the ken of mere mortals. As the tapestry of her identity unfolds, Elaine grapples with newfound abilities and a destiny that seems interwoven with the historical fabric of the kingdom.

Determined not to let circumstances get her down, Susie decides her festive plans aren't unravelling, just being rewritten. Roping in a reluctant Henry for festive fun and favourite traditions, she decides to teach him the magic of Christmas and maybe even get through that gruff facade to discover the man underneath! ----- 50K Challenge Longlister - 26th December 2021 Featured on StoriesUndiscovered April 2022 #tsc22Complete

The Prophecy of Water | TheWattys2018 Shortlister ✔️
[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld. Credits for the cover go to an absolutely amazing cover artist and fellow writer Narcisse Navarre @InkSorcery. The Prophecy of Water is ONLY available on Wattpad.
