Nocturne lies in the cracks, the fault lines and the fissures. It's in the shadows of every corner of the land, the ricochets left behind crumbling empires, and the last remnants of magic that still dare to grace a world that attempts to destroy it.
Few discover the clandestine fortress, once a palace, the home of the ashes of alchemy, and even fewer will ever meet the last that have true sorcery running through their blood.
The arcane arts can be taught, they can be learned-although such knowledge is punishable by death-but to some they are intrinsic. True sorcerers with a power to kill for. Only a few remain, all male, and their abilities are dwindling. Nocturne, once the beating heart of the arcane, has become the place it will surely die.
Now, a girl has been born.
Fascienne Ayers is the first girl born to Nocturne in centuries. Her birth will cause a rupture in the very fabric of what is known, believed, and manipulated into being.
Some will follow her, others will oppose her, and then there are those who will attempt to kill her.
The stage is set for a war of sorcery, of power, of blood and betrayal.

Dawn of Shadows
For decades, war has ravaged the lands of Arladore, a world divided between the Fae, humans, and witches-each vying for dominance, each unwilling to surrender. But prophecy speaks of an end, of a girl cursed with death itself, fated to bring the final reckoning. Amara Whitethrone never asked to be the war's solution. Branded by a power she cannot control and feared by all who know what she is, she is forged into a weapon, trained to be the key to victory. With her friends and the lieutenant who vowed to fight beside her, she is told that this is her destiny-to bring peace through destruction, to wield her curse as a blade against their enemies. But as the weight of expectation grows heavier, so does the whisper of doubt. Why does it feel like everyone else is deciding her fate? And if she truly is meant to end the war... does that mean she must lose herself in the process? With forces conspiring in the shadows and secrets buried deeper than the battlefield itself, Amara must unravel the truth behind her curse before she becomes the very thing she fears-a harbinger of death with no will of her own.

Lila Morgan didn't expect to wake up after she jumped. And she definitely didn't expect to wake up in the world of Fourth Wing-the book that once kept her going through the darkest nights. But this isn't a dream. It's not fiction. And survival here demands more than knowledge of what's "supposed" to happen. Now living under the name Liora Emberveil, she tells herself this is a second chance. A chance to become someone stronger. Better. Someone worth something. She throws herself into the role of a fictional heroine; confident, brave, untouchable. But no matter how fast she runs, she can't outrun herself. Because the truth is: Lila didn't come here healed. She came here broken. She's anxious, self-destructive, and still carrying the weight of a life she didn't want to live. And the more she tries to control the story, the more it spirals. Every decision rewrites the future she thought she knew. Every connection threatens the mask she's carefully built. And when she catches the attention of Xaden Riorson-a man who sees too much-her carefully drawn lines begin to blur. βοΈβ If you enjoy this story on Wattpad but want options, it's also available on AO3!

The Secrets We Hide from the Dark
Kathleen didn't want to become a dragon rider, but she had no choice. To support her family she has to go and try to make it through all three years of the famous Riders Quadrant. She makes new friends, discovers feelings she's never felt before, and tries to keep a secret that if known to everyone, or rather, one specific person... would mean her death. Can she keep her secret? Will she live? This story is written in first person and present tense. A fanfiction based on Rebecca Yarros's novel and series Fourth Wing from the Empyrean series. Most characters and the world are by Rebecca Yarros, but a couple of characters are created by me. It is recommended that you read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame before reading this, but this may also be read without reading those books. This fanfiction was written before Onyx Storm came out, so some theories might be incorrect. Nevertheless, enjoy! Also available on AO3(Archive of Our Own)Complete
