The greatest asset to any army is not a soldier or an archer or even an officer-it is a Wordweaver. A powerful Wordweaver can annihilate hundreds with a single word, and a king would do anything to get his hands on one. Which is why 19-year-old Ynria keeps her abilities secret. She wants nothing more than to finish her studies, become a healer, and live her life in peace.

But war finds her when soldiers come to her village to conscript a man from every family. Desperate to keep her best friend's young brother safe at home-and to escape an unwanted marriage-Ynria disguises her gender and enlists in his place.

When they reach the training grounds, however, Ynria and the villagers find that life as a soldier isn't what they'd expected. Trapped between two countries on the verge of war, Ynria must decide where her loyalties lie. Is it with her neighbors, from whom she has had to hide her true self all her life? Or with Six, an enemy scout whose quick smile hides a mysterious past?

Or is there a way to choose them both?All Rights Reserved

Chasing A Starlight by juicyfruitsx0

!!!PAPERBACKS LIVE ON AMAZON!!! After her father's passing, Soleil moved to the fancy house in the suburbs that he left her. She called it the perfect parting gift. With a fully paid for house and less bills on her shoulders, it'd be easier to focus on her career. What she did not expect to come with the house was the grumpy man who lived next door. After countless failed attempts to talk to him, Soleil figured it was best to stay on her side of the yard. But when a storm strikes, the last place Soleil thought she'd seek shelter was at his place. The last person she thought would be so thoughtful and tender towards her was him. He's a good catholic. He swears to behave. A line has been blurred, one that was never truly there. And temptation would be the death of him, and his well-mannered values. Even if temptation was a young woman with legs for days.

A Forest of Secrets by LRamirezN

⭐ FEATURED ⭐ 02/16/2018 Longlisted, Wattys 2018 ✅ COMPLETE Jocasta's nineteen years of peaceful existence in a little village of the Kingdom of Ontur blew up in pieces without much warning: Grandmother had a secret, an old pact with a mysterious man-a pact that, apparently, Jo and her new tagalongs - a flamboyant mage, a goofball knight pledge and a young alchemist-now had to take care of, thanks to the untimely death of the King of Ontur. A quest to find an ancient place, concealing an artifact of unmeasurable power and rumored to be deadly. And posthaste, before it falls into the wrong hands. That's something all grandmothers ask of their granddaughters sometime in their lifetime, right? And all that was at stake was the stability of the kingdom: no pressure. Set in a world where magic is vital, where mages are as equally feared and shunned as they're needed. A temporarily Kingless kingdom where vultures wait for the perfect time to take a plunge. A world where secrets and lies are as abundant, dangerous and necessary as magic. But something else brews in the Kingdom of Ontur: something bigger than Jocasta and her Grandmother's secrets. ⭐ 1st place in Fantasy, The Crystal Crown Awards 2017 || Highest ranking : #46 in Fantasy 03/04/2018 #writteninaction you can read a review here: https://www.wattpad.com/471550430-island-of-lost-toys-reviews-great-reads-for-the
