Charlotte, Beckett, Swanmere lives as her father's untrimmed hedge.

Merlot Rainbaum searches for a miracle cure to heal her mother, who is none other than the Queen of the Mermaids.

Railey Ferntoss, renown across the Western Sector as the Dragon Master, can't finish off the illegal trades of dragon hunters without new networks popping up in the black market like a festering fungus.

One fate-altering event allows Beckett's illustrious father a way to finally be rid of his elvaniac daughter: the murder of his dragon vet sister. 

Under the guise of settling her aunt's estate, located all the way out in the Western Sector, Beckett finds herself disowned, alone, and lost on the fringes of the world she's always known.

Child messengers from the Goddess, predatory Dark Elf villagers, and the furry, winged surprise of a lifetime settle Beckett into a tumultuous new life. And she hasn't even met the other main characters yet!

You are invited into the murky black market of the Goddess's Femur, a land of elves and other fae folk. Humorous and philosophical, pet owners may connect with the plight of a vet and her dragon. Don't expect laughter the entire time, though, for at its core, A Failure of a High Elf forces us to accept our most regrettable mistakes and fight through our self-imposed powerlessness to try and find the clear skies on the other side.

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

The Fallen Fire (Royals of the Realm Series #1) by AstridGreene

In the Immortal Realm, power overruns blood. So when Fyrrah Vulcan hadn't shown any sign of manipulating fire the day she turned sixteen, her father, King Victor of the Fire Kingdom disowned her to protect the reputation of the royal family. The thing is, she is so pure and good-natured that bearing grudge is never an option for her. But everything changed one night. Now, she can see their world is filled with shadows and evil lurks everywhere, making her doubt anyone who comes her way. That even the person you consider a family would throw you into the lion's den in just a blink of an eye. Upon accidentally starting a riot in the Werewolf King's territory, things got a little complicated. Alpha King Romanov blames her of starting the forest fire but dismissed the idea of punishing her, and he'a always around her with the habit of rubbing off his scent on her every time a male looks her way. *** Royals of the Realm Series [English] •The Fallen Fire (Completed) •The Lethal Air (Completed) •The Tainted Earth (Completed) •The Tidal Waters (Draft) •The Avenging Spirit (Draft)

Mage Slayer: Book Four of the Empress Saga by drahcirwolf

Reyn has nothing but secrets. Everything she is or has ever been becomes another reason to be despised. Born of demons, pursued by justice, and haunted by regret. In the service of the Dragon Empress, Reyn hoped to find vengeance for the life she lost, but as emissaries from a distant empire arrive with an offer of friendship, Reyn is commanded not to kill the monster she's longed to destroy. Worse, she must work alongside him. Joshuan Krayson goes on the hunt. Demons and their thralls have worked in the shadows throughout history, and only a secret cabal of divine guardians has kept the Five Kingdoms from falling to ruin. Krayson follows the voice of an imprisoned god to its source, hoping to uncover the true purpose the old masters have for the world. All that stands in his way is the Teulite Horde led by his father, the Tiger King. Ban Karst leads the Arcane Knights into Melcia. In the homeland of the spirit callers, Shan Alee and a tumultuous alliance of fey races are met by the true power of House Akazewi. Ban is forced to decide which of the oaths he has given is most precious to him. His bond, his homeland, his fealty, or his heart. Enfri the Yora is hailed and feared as the Dragon Empress. Overwhelmed by the path fate has taken her, Enfri goes back to the beginning. In a simple cottage on the desert's edge, the sky woman of Sandharbor returns home. There she finds the strength to at last deliver the final enclave of her people to safety. Except, a traitor in her midst threatens to undo all that she's worked to build. In the deep sands, secrets best left forgotten return.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Chasing Fairies by TheArdentPen

[complete] "A human, a wulver, and a fairy walk into a witch's hut." It was like the start of a bad joke. Fleeing from her home in the States after the death of her only family member, Atrium McKenna comes to Gargunnock, Scotland to mourn the death of her uncle. She meets up with a group of merry men led by the charming Callum who takes a downtrodden Atrium under his wing. Their unlikely friendship forges the way into a world that until now, she only thought existed in fairy-tales. An apparition of a beautifully androgynous woman leaves her with more questions than answers on the legitimacy of her sanity and the security of her heart. While her uncle leaves behind secrets that make her ask one question: who was she? With a target on her head, Atrium struggles to protect herself and come to terms with the new world they have thrust her into. There's no turning back and dark magic is laying siege to those she cares about. Would she have time to understand and come to terms with it before it's too late? **This is the unedited first copy of Chasing Fairies.

My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: Cyra is pulled into a foreign world where humans are rarities while vampires, elves, werewolves, witches, and more strange creatures are the norm. That's the least of her worries though. Now the bride of one of the most powerful vampires in all of the kingdom, she is faced with two choices. One: give in and accept her doomed future with a husband who detests humans, or two: successfully kill him before he is crowned King of Bestias.

Smother The Fire by karla00rosa

They see me as a burden. A spoiled, selfish girl unworthy of love or trust. I knew the day would come when my family would finally decide to get rid of me for good, but I never expected them to marry me of to a king who sees me as nothing more then a tool. Cassius is cold and angry, burdened by the weight of his people's suffering. But in rare moments, I catch glimpses of the man behind the mask - a man whose duty has forced him to close his heart to the beauty of the world around him. His advisor Maxwell is quick to cut me down if I falter. Behind his sharp gaze and scarred body is a warm heart, that shows me compassion in my darkest moments. And Theo, who seems just as tortured as the flames he wields, seems determined to remind me of every flaw I carry, but his pain mirrors mine and all I can see is a friend who I need to save from himself. I've tried to make myself irreplaceable in their hearts, but no matter what I do, it's never enough. The magic they have traded me for, the magic that runs in my families blood, the magic that they think will safe their people, is not the one I command. They think I'm weak. They think I'm worthless. But I've endured too much to give up on my second chance. Even if my secrets threaten to destroy everything I am hoping for, I'll find a way to rise. For myself. For this kingdom. For a chance at something real. ----- Mature themes (18+) Mmmf Multiple POV (only prologue in 3rd person) Updates every Friday 45 chapters already planned This book is rather detailed for Wattpad and the pacing is medium :)
