May Khanavan's life was the very essence of ordinary, consumed only by the typical concerns of a high school senior-final exams, prom, and graduation. However, a twist of fate changes everything when, on her eighteenth birthday, she encounters a man boldly claiming to be the infamous Pharaoh Akhenatem of Egypt.
In the annals of history, Pharaoh Akhenatem was renowned for his heart of stone and iron fisted rule. Until, that is, an ill-fated confrontation with a powerful and vengeful sorcerer leads to a curse that would cast him into the mists of time, hurtling him thousands of years into the future, straight into the life of May.
Cryptic visions and the wisdom of departed loved ones set into motion a chain of events that, alongside May's compassion and patience, unveil an unexpected love as the two souls discover the intricacies of the concept of evil and that everyone has their own story.

The Solar Princess
Kingship, the ultimate power in the ancient world. To the Egyptians, it was a power passed through the female line. Only the husband of the Solar Princess could be king. A recently discovered tomb in 1883 opens a glimpse into the depths of political ambisions and power plays from centuries before. When the gods dabble, the horrors of the past have a way of coming back to haunt the world once again. ********** This is a short story. I hope you like it. I would love to hear feedback on this. I set this as mature just to be sure. I don't give overly explicit details of violence or sex, however, the story does delve into topics of a more mature nature. It is also a work of fiction that I wrote. Please do not copy any part of this story. I do not own the rights to the photos posted. Those are just images I found online and the rights go to the original owners. Thank you. As for the names of the characters, I pulled all of the names during the historical periods from actual history. So, I am sorry if the names are odd or difficult to follow, it is set during a specific reign and the historical people around the royal palace. I really enjoy writing from actual history as much as possible when I do delve into history. If people like this, I may try to work on a longer story of a historical romance in the Ottoman courts.Complete![Hum Tumpe Marte Hai [The Veiled Vows]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/393439117-256-k420565.jpg)

A Beast stalks the night... but Beauty hunts him. A reimagining of the story you thought you knew. Rell grew up hearing stories of the Human Realm, a fantastic world with light at the flick of a finger, metal boxes that fly through the sky; a fantastic, faraway fairytale that she knows is too good to be true. Because Rell lives in the Dark Realm: a world full of magical creatures and a low-hanging sky, all protected by The Blood Rose. Until the day the Blood Rose is stolen away and taken to the Human Realm. Without it, the two realms will meet with disastrous consequences, the human sun bleaching all the magic from the Dark Realm. And so Rell leaves everything she knows to bring it back. There's only one problem: the Human Realm- especially high school- is nothing like the stories. There's some sort of code with words like "twerking" and "Instagram" she can't understand, and then there's Bastien, the boy who hates Rell for reasons she can't explain. But when Rell realizes Bastien is keeping just as many secrets as she is, the two become an unlikely team in the search for the Blood Rose.

Duette Vol. 1
Once Upon a Time... There were twenty-five royal siblings, each a protector of their realm. But when a great shadow fell, twenty-four of them were lost. The youngest prince survived-but barely. Grieving and broken, he lost his leg... and still their was a kingdom that needed him to save them. A strange woman with ember eyes came to him then. She offered him a leg of tin-cold, powerful, and cursed. He stood, he fought, he won. But tin always takes. It stole his warmth, his tears, his time. Soon, the prince was more metal than man, and his heart slowed to silence. What he didn't know was that the woman was a fallen goddess-cast from the heavens for lacking twenty-five virtues. She had stolen one soul for each trait she lacked. Twenty-four were hers taken from his siblings. Only one remained: steadfastness. But when she reached for the prince's soul... it was gone. Long ago, a mourning architect and her wizard husband had made a fail safe should the goddess ever attempt to steal the 25 souls. They built a final guardian-a paper dancer placed in a music box of tin. Inside her, the prince's soul slept. As she stirred to life, she began to dream. And in her dreams, she met the prince-again and again, across lifetimes spun by the goddess. Though he slept, his soul still dreamed, and her dreams brushed his like feathers in the dark. She searched for him, across ash and ruin. And when she found him-tin cold and asleep-she kissed him. His soul returned, and he woke, human once more. But tin always takes as it gives and the time that had been wound up on her music box was coming to an end. The goddess appeared then, smiling. She offered the prince a cruel deal: twenty-five years together, in the waking world. Then 225 trapped in her stories, living whatever story she choose. And if the prince ever failed to remain steadfast his soul would belong to the goddess forever. The prince agreed. And so their story begins... again, and again, and again.Complete
