The Atrophy of Clementine Darlington
(FREE STORY + exclusive chapters) With only six months to live, Clementine sets out to avenge his sister's murder, a quest that leads him to Aldergrove Academy, where a hundred students must fight to the death for a coveted chance to escape to the New World. *** Clementine is running out of time. With his body wasting away from a terminal illness, he has only one goal before he dies--track down the Ravenblood, the ones responsible for his sister's murder. His search leads him to Aldergrove Academy, where a hundred students must kill or be killed for a chance to escape to the New World. To survive, he realizes that he must form fragile alliances with other outcasts--Mathew, a quiet berserker; Mavis, a timid fae; and Elliot, his enigmatic roommate. But trust is dangerous in a school full of killers, and the deeper Clementine digs, the more he realizes that the Ravenblood aren't the only ones keeping secrets. And then there's him. A golden-eyed demon stalks Clementine through the halls, watching and taunting, his intentions unclear: does he want to kill Clementine, break him...or claim him? But as bodies pile up and horrors unravel, he has to wonder--what's more terrifying? The students desperate enough to kill, the monsters lurking in the dark, or the demon who refuses to leave his side?

Daegelus | Volume One: Subject 0333
• Book 1 • While hunting for his missing friend, Elijah stumbles upon a fiery journalist, who so happens to be looking for the same people as him: the doctors who experimented on him when he was a child. But when the two are forced to go on the run together, Elijah's healing wounds are opened, and he realizes that Lyca Corp. took more than his childhood. ⊳⊱ ♕ ⊰⊲ The moment Elijah escaped from the lab where he unwillingly spent the past thirteen years of his life, he planned to live up to his promise: he'd find Haru, the only thing that kept him sane growing up. But with no idea where Lyca Corp. transferred him, Elijah hunts down the former doctors who made his life hell in search of answers. After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture. But as he continues his search, Elijah struggles with the scars Lyca Corp. burned into him. He has no idea who or what he is; he doesn't understand the power raging inside his bodyーthe power Lyca Corp. desperately tried to pry from him. Why does he have an insatiable bloodlust? What does the whispering voice inside his head want? And why does he feel as though a huge part of him has been torn away? ❅ LGBTQ characters ❅ Dystopian Urban Fantasy ❅ Supernatural World Conspiracy ❅ Word Count: 137,000 ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ Numenverse year: 1335 **April 2024 Editor's Pick **#3 in Werewolf 5/4/2024 **#1 in GayRomance 5/4/2024 **#12 in Werewolf 31/5/2025 2023-2025 © Tate Csernis | | Series is exclusive to WattpadLengkap
The Return of the Gods ⚔️ (Children of the Sun Book 1)
[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 5 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] [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, Rabbit Hole Reads 👀 in April 2026, and also on the @fantasy profile]Lengkap
