A cozy fantasy-with teeth.
Born a hybrid in a world that fears difference, 15-year-old Malora finds her haven in the fires of the forge and the science of potions. But when she earns a coveted spot at Vargrath Academy, she trades the quiet solitude of her village for a cutthroat world of merit-based competition. Navigating the complex social landscape of Vargrath proves even more challenging than mastering her dual disciplines. As Malora struggles to find her place, will she discover that true strength lies not in victory, but in forging unexpected friendships and breaking down the barriers that divide?

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete

[ U N E D I T E D V E R S I O N] ''We're running out of time! And you want me to leave you behind?....'' The soft silence engulfed the forest not a bird sang the howling winds came to a stop. ''No one is getting left behind not here not now understod?'' The male sheethed his blade and walked off leaving the pair to themselves. The silver haired male gently hugged the female who hugged back heart thundering in her chest. "Thank you..." For Lunettea trust is hard. Betrayed by the very people called family from the moment she was born. Nothing but an ordinary, highly trained teenage assassin. Well some what ordinary. What happens when fairy tales are real. Things really do go bump in the night. All the stories you've been told at night, to scare you or give you something good to dream about start appearing in the real world. What happens when the fate of the new worlds rests in a single girls hands? And trusting two devilishly handsome men, who definitely aren't your average good looking people. They're out of this world. Will Lunettea be able to travel to these worlds and rediscover the meaning of passion, truth and love? Or will she loose herself trying to untangle this mystery?

Anyone But Her
Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains references to and/or scenes of homophobia, childhood trauma, bullying, violence, and suicide.

First Steps Again
How does someone learn to be a baby again? To walk again, to play again? And how does a princess learn to be a mother-and to be imperfect? Alex, a 21-year-old engineering student, is suddenly pulled from his world into the land of Equestria. But now, he finds himself in the body of an almost-newborn, forced to relearn everything-while his adult mind struggles to make sense of a world that doesn't follow the same rules of physics as Earth. It's not easy when your body insists on acting like an infant. Princess Celestia, a ruler who has quietly longed to hear the word "Mom," offers to help him find a way home-if such a thing is even possible. Until then, she'll take care of him. Determined not to burden her further, Alex plays the part of a normal foal, hiding his lingering awareness. Can he maintain the charade, or will his struggle reveal the truth? And as Celestia tends to him, will she discover that motherhood isn't about perfection? I wrote this fanfic based on a simple question: Why are there so many stories that approach age change with something like, "Oh, I'm a kid again... good to know" and skipping almost the entire childhood and learning process? If you're interested, follow me on a journey of learning equine biology until midnight, making sense of the magic system, reading articles about motherhood, and improving my grammar skills (English is not my native language-Spanish is-so there might be some odd phrasing. If you find any, please let me know). Cover by vanilla-chan Thank you so much, I love the cover. Thanks to Noobblue for helping me with the idea of the story.

The Beast of Stornoway
*Coming soon from W by Wattpad* When beauty meets her beast-a modern retelling of a classic story with one major twist...this story isn't for sweet little girls. 'Keep the Blarcum name strong.' That is LORD VAN BLARCUM's duty and his curse. All his life he's been groomed to carry on the Blarcum legacy. He lives under his mother's rule, and he does as she pleases to protect the one thing he loves most: his manor. He doesn't care for the legacy or the empire. He prefers his isolated life on the Hebridean Isle of Lewis. His manor and his horses are all he needs. Until she walks into his life... AMANI BLAKE wants adventure. She's dreamt of seeing the rolling hills of the Highlands since she was a child, but she's stuck. She let her mother's fears keep her in the same place she's always been. After an explosive encounter with her employer, Amani has enough. She quits her job and takes her life into her own hands. A lucky search on LinkedIn has her accepting a position as an assistant to a Lord in Stornoway, Scotland. Will Lord Blarcum learn to love something more than his manor and be the adventure Amani didn't know she was looking for? Or will duty stand in the way of affairs of the heart?

Reincarnated as the Fated Villain
COMPLETED | VOLUME ONE | It began as the usual flow for a reincarnated story... Aerra believed, as a young girl, that her second life was nothing more than just about legends and prophecies like any other; meeting handsome guys; and spending heart fluttering days of youth idly. But slowly... the web of fate spun into a vast tale of an adventure for the young clever Aerra in her journey to a realm where darkness and light elemental magus exists and her long golden sheltered life as a Duke's daughter is but a flawed facade. The darkness that lurks within her... the beckoning shadows... forged alliances and deceptions... and an ability that she never thought could touch the span of time. Join her in her quest TO DISCOVER the truth on what lies beyond the centennial rituals in summoning a Priestess; choosing a Familiar; and her inescapable destiny as the fated Fallen one. The story and adventure of a hapless maiden reincarnated for centuries begins! ___________________________ [Inspired by some fantasy RPG games I played and some animes/mangas I have encountered, admixing reincarnated novels as it's backbone.] ~~ ɪғ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀᴅᴠᴇɴᴛᴜʀᴇ ғᴀɴᴛᴀsʏ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀɴ ᴇʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴀɴɪᴍᴇ, ɢᴏ ᴀʜᴇᴀᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍʏ ᴡᴏʀᴋ! ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ʜᴏᴘᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ!!~~ Date Started: November 21, 2017 Date Finish: January 19, 2019 Highest Rankings attained: (By category) # 10 in Action-adventure # 43 in Fantasy # 08 in Original # 01 in AgeProgression # 03 in Dark Fantasy # 08 in Villainess # 36 in Reincarnation # 05 in Journey # 01 in Shoujo # 02 in Timeskip ___________________________ [[Disclaimer: All pictures or videos used in this book is not mine, all credits goes to its respective creators/owners]]Complete
