🐈 When his human family brings home an attention-stealing baby from the hospital, Akhi the housecat runs away from his best friend and the only home he's ever known. Upon entering the sewers, he discovers the world of the ferals, where animals rule and danger lurks just beneath the pavement. In order to survive, Akhi joins a group of bandits and finds that the freedom of being a feral has its perks - provided he can overcome the guilt of stealing from the humans that cared for him. 

🦴 Meanwhile, Misha, the family's loyal retriever and Akhi's best friend, finds herself forbidden from searching for her missing family member by the mysterious Circle of the Paw. Torn between obeying orders and finding her friend, Misha must overcome mercenaries with sordid pasts, noblebeasts in charge of underground fiefdoms, and divided loyalty in an effort to reunite her family.

The Return of the Gods (Children of the Sun Book 1) by dragonthusiast

[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 4 times in Wattpad Picks lists] Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. But that's all about to change. An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought. Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words] • Book 1 - The Return of the Gods • Book 2 - The Return to Irithara • Book 3 - The Return of the Lifebringer • Book 4 - The Aperios [Featured in Wattpad Picks lists: 'Extraordinary Realms ✨' in December 2023, 'Reading Radar' in January 2024, 'Celebrating Wattpad Hits' in February 2024, and Valiant Heroes 🏰✨🏔 in June 2024, and also on the @fantasy profile]

❝ Pain was my fuel, until the fire began bleeding from my veins. ❞ The girl without a name. The black-haired fiend devoid of fear. The sharp-tongued scoundrel always ready with a trick up her sleeve. Thief and street rat Azura knows how to hustle a man better than she knows how to read. Some skills are far more important than others in the dog-eat-dog world she survives in. She knows Rupteran will only play nice when the Sharlik Empire keels over and dies, which isn't going to be anytime soon with the piss-poor job the rebellion is doing. But when a robbery that could turn her life around goes sour, Azura's sharp wit and blackened heart will be tested. One should be wary before cornering a wounded animal, and that's exactly how the rebellion finds Azura. With her bloody teeth bared and her hackles risen, Azura is ready to bite off the hand they offer her. But some deals are just too alluring to pass up. ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Complete! ➳ Amazing cover designed by @-wanderes ➳ Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Featured in @WattpadDarkFantasy's 'A Kingdom In Shadows' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadStars 'Fantasy' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadHornsandHalos 'Nephilim Stories' reading list ➳ Featured in @StoriesUndiscovered 'Explore The Stars' reading list ➳ Featured in @antiheroesgalore's 'Monstrously Fantastic' reading list ➳ Featured in @mythandlegend's 'Legendary Creatures and Hybrids' reading list ➳ 'Best Leading Character' in The 2020 Sinne Awards ➳ 'Book To TV Potential' in The 2020 Sinne Awards [[word count: 70,000 - 80,000]]

Damnation Of Devotion ✔ by LadyInLostYearn

"I would've prayed for Them to go easy on you too." He moves and his eyes are on me, eyes where they are brimming with tears, but his soft smile confuses me. Gently caressing my temple, he gazes at me as if I'm the most delicate treasure. His lips kiss my fingers. "They did. A few years late but They did. Their mercy on me is you." ______________ While World War II is absorbed in its own devastation, a runaway slave stumbles upon a meadow. He is saved by a curious, lonely spirit and builds an affinity with her; but will he be her only salvation or eternal damnation? Either way, she can't let him go. And neither can he... as they're more similar than they thought. With unexpected gifts and losses coming their way, the starry-eyed lovers go on a journey for a sense of peace through a strange reality, a stark contrast to her own. The human world.
