When Fae strike a bargain with the hope and despair of unsuspecting humans, it's more than a snap of fingers, that makes ominous wishes come true. Especially since the mists between the worlds have been torn loose, causing the Fae's spells to be wobbly and unreliable, not just because of their whims.
It's up to the likes of Hazel, charm-ing problem solvers, to pave the way for the more powerful spells. Or, for a price, they might scratch a minotaur's horns, introduce a ghost to their grandchildren, or fetch a witch's cat from a tree. Just what you do as a handyman... excuse me... handyplant... of the magical world in a crazy, not-quite-normal post-apocalypse.

The Taste of Iron
Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank HerbertComplete

This was too much, way too much. In half a day, my life had been turned upside down. Just as I was about to fall, the raven transformed into a boy and caught me. The bird had just turned into a boy. What the heck? What was an Avian doing on Lupine territory? * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * After much debate, I decided to discontinue this second book and series. I love the world and I built and the characters with all my heart but the writing is incredibly outdated and the plot progression is all over the place.

The Return of the Gods ⚔️ (Children of the Sun Book 1)
[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 5 times in Wattpad Picks lists] Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. But that's all about to change. An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought. Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words] [Featured in Wattpad Picks lists: 'Extraordinary Realms ✨' in December 2023, 'Reading Radar' in January 2024, 'Celebrating Wattpad Hits' in February 2024, and Valiant Heroes 🏰✨🏔 in June 2024, Rabbit Hole Reads 👀 in April 2026, and also on the @fantasy profile]Complete
A Land of Legends
OVERALL WINNER of the WattALegend: Quorin Saga collaboration contest hosted by the Fantasy family of Ambassador profiles (2021) *** There is a strange restlessness in the magical land of Quorin. A teenage girl sneaking home one night finds herself face to face with Scydelle's greatest legend: a dagger that wanders the countryside in search of a new master. But its power comes at a terrible price. After a cunning witch siren steals the Ocean Song, a brave merprincess must journey to the Dead Waters to retrieve it for the sake of the underwater realm of Abyssos. A young monster-slayer journeys to Ashelum to face a murderous beast, only to come upon the secret of the kingdom's demise and its restoration. When an elf knight's quest reaches a fork in the road, he must decide whether to continue his search for Aelfdene's missing Queen or battle the beast terrorising a mountain village. The angel Princess and demon Prince's forbidden love was only their first trial. Now they must keep their baby safe from those who would kill him to prevent him from uniting the kingdoms of Haven and Hell. The other five kingdoms swirl in a chaos of their own. Ten quests. Ten heroes to answer the call, hoping that their bravery is enough to make the difference between life and death. Sometimes winning comes at a cost, sometimes it does not, but one thing is for certain. Expect the unexpected, for in Quorin, nothing is ever what it seems. *** A collection of fantasy short stories. *** Cover by @Ardenwillcraft *** Featured on: @newlywrittenbooks "Big Ideas | Short Stories/Imagines/One Shots" @WattpadShortStory "Phantasm and Sorcery"Complete
