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.

GENRES: *fantasy,* slice of life, mystery

"One year. That's all it'll take. In this marriage, I'll make your life a living hell. You'll hate every second of it, and by the end, you'll regret even knowing my name." "My life's already a mess, Charlotte. Not sure what more you can do to top it. But go on, give it your best shot. Just try not to fall in love with me while you're at it, yeah?" "And now, you may kiss the bride." the officiant declared, sealing the deal. __________________________________________ June Hayes is just another corporate worker-long hours at the office, late-night drinks with friends, and stumbling through her twenties with a mix of chaos and charm. But beneath her confident exterior lies a secret she's fought to keep hidden-a mountain of debt and a past she'd do anything to forget. When her carefully guarded world crumbles, June is faced with an impossible choice: agree to a marriage contract with Charlotte Rutherford, a cold, calculating heiress she's never met, or risk losing everything. The terms are clear-stay married for one year, or until her crushing loans are paid off. ---- Charlotte Rutherford, the CEO of a powerful magazine empire, had her life meticulously planned, right down to her upcoming marriage to Sophie Harper. But her father's ultimatum shattered those plans, forcing her into an arranged marriage with a woman she knows nothing about. As her world unravels, Charlotte must now face a future she never chose. What started as a simple transaction soon becomes something far more complicated. With power, pride, and unanticipated emotions at play, the line between obligation and something deeper begins to blur. The forced marriage they both dreaded might just change them in ways they never imagined. One contract. One year. One question: what if one year isn't enough?

~Alpha Awards 2023 Winner~ Wattpad official Werewolf page Visena Sage knows two things for sure. Her name, and that she's part Faery. After waking in an unfamiliar realm with no memories (or clothes), Visena is dragged by the scruff to the Earth realm by two insulting and unusual strangers. They seem eager to take her to their leader, an unidentified enemy with unknown motives. However, in a potentially wonderful twist of fate, she is immediately rescued by a small group who use gibberish words to address one another. Alpha? Beta? Mates? The apparent damsel searches for answers while familiarising herself with the group's deliciously scented, cautious leader: Gideon Steel. Gideon seems intrigued by her blunt, confident approach and keeps a watchful eye on her as she navigates his strange world. Both seek answers to the same questions while feeling an unnatural pull to each other. Who is she? (Who is he?) What happened to her family? And is she really the damsel in this story?
