They trained us to be killers before we even knew what it meant to fight. They told us we were warriors, soldiers, wielders of power beyond our own comprehension. They told us we were the future of Vilhan. But they never told us the truth.
Rynna Blayne has spent her life in the brutal training grounds of Hinabeth, learning how to survive, how to fight, and how to win. Weakness is punished. Emotions are useless. And getting attached to anyone? A death sentence.
But when she accidentally takes down twenty-four of her peers in a single push-without understanding how-suddenly, everyone is watching her. The General. The recruits. And worst of all, Darian, the cocky, insufferable boy with sharp brown eyes and a smirk that makes her want to punch him... or maybe something worse.
Now, she has a target on her back. The country she was raised to protect has been lying to her, and the only way to survive is to uncover the truth.
The problem? The truth might just destroy her first.

Apocalypse NEW VERSION
Growing up in their sister's shadow wasn't easy; surviving after she left has been harder. In the nine years since their Kingdom was destroyed by the cruel Falcondar family, Kiridan has had two objectives: to stay hidden from the Falcondars, and to figure out why their sister never came back for them. They discover that she started an underground organization to overthrow the Falcondars...and then died three years ago while on a mission in the mountains. Determined to make something of their sister's efforts - and to be recognized as more than the less-talented sibling - Kiridan decides to break into the organization known as the Infernal Uprising, taking their rightful place among its leadership. But as the attack on the Falcondars draws nearer, they'll have to learn that leadership is more than barking orders, and that trust is difficult to earn. When the chaos spirals further than anyone expected, and new powers come into play from every direction, a lot of people may have to reevaluate what they stand for...whether they're an Infernal Uprising soldier, a traitor, or a Falcondar Princess herself. Sure, through the eyes of those in power, the world has always been in conflict. But for the next generation waiting to take over, the conflict is just beginning. And for the rest of the unsuspecting universe, it hasn't even begun. Which came first, the catastrophe or the change? And what's the difference in the first place? ******* ONGOING.

For years, dragonkind and humankind had been at war, alternating between short-lived truces and all out warfare. In this age, however, humankind had subdued the proud dragonkind and turned them into slaves. Brands seared into their arms with the mark of a weeping dragon; the symbol of their defeat. Darin vehemently hated the mistreatment of the dragonkind, and when a branded runaway boy crossed his path, he made him his apprentice to protect him. Something had to be done. But in a strange turn of events, Darin found himself the leader of a peculiar band of travelers: His new apprentice, a brooding warrior, and an elven healer. Although he rarely traveled with others, he began to enjoy it as a long-term arrangement as days turned into weeks. Yet Amaredeia was still healing its war-ravaged wounds, and the cries of rebellion and anguish rose again. Could he really continue denying the calls of his apprentice's people?

Lila Morgan didn't expect to wake up after she jumped. And she definitely didn't expect to wake up in the world of Fourth Wing-the book that once kept her going through the darkest nights. But this isn't a dream. It's not fiction. And survival here demands more than knowledge of what's "supposed" to happen. Now living under the name Liora Emberveil, she tells herself this is a second chance. A chance to become someone stronger. Better. Someone worth something. She throws herself into the role of a fictional heroine; confident, brave, untouchable. But no matter how fast she runs, she can't outrun herself. Because the truth is: Lila didn't come here healed. She came here broken. She's anxious, self-destructive, and still carrying the weight of a life she didn't want to live. And the more she tries to control the story, the more it spirals. Every decision rewrites the future she thought she knew. Every connection threatens the mask she's carefully built. And when she catches the attention of Xaden Riorson-a man who sees too much-her carefully drawn lines begin to blur. ⭐︎★If you enjoy this story on Wattpad but want options, it's also available on AO3!

Rebellion
Picked for the WattVamps February Showcase & now a Wattpad Dark Fantasy featured story! The Risen Series - Book 1 Rebellion I've been a cardholding member of the undead for centuries, torn away from the sun by a vampire with no care for human life. From the moment I opened my eyes to the night and had my first craving for blood, my Maker twisted and moulded me into exactly what he wanted; trapping me in his hold. Until one day he let me go. Content to live out eternity as no more than a shadow, I do my best to stay out of trouble. But trouble always had a way of finding me. During a hunt, I run into another vampire doing his best to go unnoticed; one so ancient the air around him reeks of power, and he claims he's just escaped imprisonment from the very council that used me to their own ends. Atanas demands I help him until he regains his strength so he can finish what he started a century ago, but I'm not sure that's all he wants from me. And while I'm no supporter of the council he seeks vengeance against, there are secrets that bind my life to theirs, and I know better than most that disloyalty means death. But in the shadows, a rebellion has been brewing, and I might be more important to both sides than I could ever have imagined.Complete
Wings of Ash and Flame
In the skies, power is everything-but love might be the strongest magic of all. At Idris Academy, the world's most prestigious school for dragon riders, students are chosen based on their affinity for a dragon. The bond between rider and dragon is sacred, unbreakable, and necessary to maintain balance between the three great nations that have long teetered on the edge of war. Seventeen-year-old Kaelene Veyra never believed she'd be chosen. From a humble village overshadowed by ancient mountains, she's been told all her life that the bond of a dragon is a gift for the powerful and privileged. Yet when a dragon of blackened scales and smoldering eyes-Ashvalyr-chooses her, everything changes. Thrust into the cutthroat world of Idris Academy, Kaelene struggles to fit in among the elite, especially when she's paired with arrogant, golden-haired Darian Calder, the Academy's star pupil and heir to a wealthy dragon-riding dynasty. Darian's dragon, Solithar, is as fiery and dangerous as his rider, and the two seem determined to make Kaelene's life miserable. But when political tensions rise and a dangerous shadow threatens the bond between dragons and riders, Kaelene and Darian are forced to work together to uncover a conspiracy that could destroy their world. As their rivalry turns into reluctant trust, Kaelene finds herself drawn to the boy behind the cocky facade-and he to the girl who refuses to bow to him.
