Hello everyone! This is the prologue and first chapter of a YA fantasy novel I'm writing. The main character is a teenage girl named Nixen who wants nothing more than to live safely and happily with her adoptive mother, Valaria. However, things start to get strange when a magical cat who bears an odd resemblance to an extinct magical creature bonds with Nixen. At the same time, thousands of children and babies in Nixen's world inexplicably stop growing up. As Nixen grapples with her struggle to find a true home, she starts to realize that the mysteries haunting her world may be interconnected...Things in this book that may interest you: epic fantasy, female protagonist, funny main character, original magic system, original magical creatures, romance subplot, and a matriarchal world. I will post at least one chapter per week once I've finished my second draft, but hopefully up to 3 chapters per week. I want to grow the fanbase for this novel as large as possible, so if you find the beginning of this story entertaining at all, please follow my account and vote on this book. Also, I am seeking criticism on this story because I am trying to make the story better and become a better writer. Happy reading!

The Prophecy in the Night
This is the first book I've ever written so I'm still figuring things out. Please be nice, but do give feedback. One crown. One curse. One year to live. Wren Anaelle Yearwood never asked to be queen. But the crown comes with a deadly fate: a curse that has claimed every queen before her-and now has its sights set on her. With only one year to break the spell or die trying, Wren flees the palace in search of the witch who doomed her bloodline. Haunted by cryptic messages, hunted by dark forces, and accompanied by a charming stranger with secrets of his own, Wren must navigate a world of forbidden magic, shifting loyalties, and ancient prophecies. As war brews and her power grows, she discovers the truth is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. The key to survival lies in the heart of a cursed forest, a flower of legend, and a choice that could change the fate of her kingdom-or end it forever. I hope you enjoy it!Complete

The Atheil Chronicles: A Call to Fire
All her life, Ariana Lucade had lived on the border of the forest, happy and free beneath the reaching branches of the trees that she loved so much. She had always been content with her life exactly the way that it was: she had her mom, her cat, and her forest to keep her company, and she was sure that that was all that she would ever need. Never worrying about the future, never wanting more than what she already had, Ariana spent her days amongst the trees, letting her mind do the wandering for her while she kept her own feet planted firmly on the ground. That is, until she meets a mysterious stranger one night on a path that never should have been there in the first place. In that one act, Ariana's whole life is thrown into chaos and she's introduced to a world that she never could have imagined existed. Things aren't quite as magical as they seem, though, and Ariana soon finds out that the forest holds much darker secrets than she could have ever dared to dream. This is Book 1 in a 4 part series. Book 2 is ongoing and titled The Atheil Chronicles: A Call to Blood. This book has mature scenes and the corresponding chapters toward the end of the book are marked with Trigger Warnings.Complete
Paridiots {VOLUME 1}: How to Survive a Fantasy World with a Party Full of Idiots
This book will undergo HEAVY revisions, containing a majority of the same plot devices but with better flow. Please look forward to it, and if you made it far enough, enjoy the second (and up to date) book in the meantime :) Koemi, a Mage-in-training, is forced into a party with the useless swordswoman Seiko and the high-leveled tank Blair in her attempt to earn money gone wrong. Upon accepting a strange request to guard the annoying- and practically useless- teen swordswoman, Seiko, beginner mage Koemi is forced into a party with the amateur to help the girl level up and be on her way. However, experienced tank Blair accompanies the two, and with Seiko's request, a makeshift team created for the mere purpose of earning money is now an official party! Through an assortment of odd quests and unrivaled journeys, the party's adventure is set to be quite the unusual one. But as with any circumstance, however, their world and lives are not as perfect as they deem them to be. (This series, while shown to be RPG-like, is not an isekai, nor entirely adventure-based. It is a series following a legitimate plot, which will pick up further down the line.)Complete
The Mystics Of Valenthia
"So who the heck am I?" I stared defiantly at Freya. "I am a normal person. I go to high school. I have parents. What am I ?" I asked. "That is what we need to find out. Do you trust us enough to stay with us? Help us? You are powerful. You are the only Palenthian, first time in centuries who has magic inside her. Powerful magic. More powerful than most Valen. I can feel it. Stay with us and help us slay monsters. Please." I gulped. "What will I get for that?" "Answers." Renna Evans was just another normal girl in another normal world, living with her normal (and filthy rich) parents and going to a normal high school. Basically her life was as normal as could be. Until she went on a normal walk on a hill side. Little did Renna know that from that point, her life would be anything but normal. Welcome to the world of Renna Evans; a world which is divided into two parts. Those who call themselves The Valenthians, possessing power and magic; and those without it are the Palenthians. What is Renna, really? Will she be able to do what is called upon her? Will she be able to place the pieces of the puzzle which will give her the perfect (or heart-shattering) picture of her past? Will she be able to prove her worth in this new world? Or will her world collapse? And what about the handsome but mysterious Ryan Carter? What exactly is he hiding? Renna will discover a world of peace and war, love and hatred, trust and betrayal; all in her single quest for one thing. FREEDOM.Complete
