Central in the country of Sky's End is the mysterious forest, the Star. None who've entered have ever been known to reemerge in its long history. Thus, the giant mass of trees is the greatest riddle, the ultimate secret.

Amee is a noble lady in the city of Rosen. With impending nuptials to a, let's say, less than savory man, she runs into the Star's embrace. She knew only three truths: none left, there existed within magic beyond anyone's wildest dreams, and that sovereignty belonged to a "Wild King".

In the Star, she becomes quickly entangled in its strange workings, from the political implications of different species to the inner turmoil of familial drama, and from a grand prophecy that promises immense power to the day-to-day dealing with a young, stubborn monarch.

In the end, she is far more important to this place, and its many odd inhabitants, than any could have expected.

37 parts Complete
Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever. Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too. Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret. But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself. And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.
Rell and The Rose by hjnelson
60 parts Complete
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. Time is ticking, and more than just The Dark Realm is at stake. Whoever stole the rose is now cursed to turn into a Beast every full moon, and is hidden among them. Students are going missing, and dark creatures are slipping into the Human Realm. Rell needs to find the Blood Rose, slay the Beast, survive high school, and sort out these new, confusing feelings for Bastien--all before the night of the full moon. To fail could mean the end of The Dark Realm and every magical creature within, but to succeed means she'll lose the boy she's falling for, and a Realm more beautiful than she ever imagined. A modern-day reimaging of Beauty and the Beast.

Beyond The Barrier

42 parts Complete

Amra wakes in an unfamiliar forest with no memories of who she is or how she got there. Strangely, she bears the pointed ears and ethereal beauty of the elves, despite knowing she is not one of them. Taken in by an isolated elven village, she quickly realises she is different-her magic is ancient, untamed, and far beyond anything the elves have seen. Under the guidance of the village's enigmatic head mage, she begins to unravel the secrets of her power. But it is the fierce and distrustful warrior, Zarion, who makes her question something deeper, her place among the elves, her growing connection to him, and the truth buried in the fragments of her past. As whispers of a forgotten prophecy and the threat of the outside world draw closer, Amra must decide where she truly belongs before the past she cannot remember catches up with her... and changes everything, including her heart.
