Fairy War
Set on an alternate Earth not all that different to ours, fairytales have been outlawed, governments believing that the best way to prepare young people for the world is to expose them to reality as early as possible. But a horrible mistake has been made: not only are fairies and magic real, but our diminishing belief is weakening them, and the weaker they are the more danger the human race is in. When teenager Clint narrowly escapes an attack on his family home he finds himself drawn into a world where he and his friends hold the key to saving fairy and humankind alike. As they discover the hidden world of magic they meet extraordinary friends and discover the horror at the centre of the war: an immortal being who needs no sleep, who offers no mercy and will stop at nothing to watch the world burn. As they race to help the fairies and persuade the world of the truth before time runs out they face a dark reality. If they cannot rally the forces of light in time, their enemy will create a literal hell on Earth.Complete

Insentient
Beauty and the Beast meets the Labyrinth in the story of a woman lost and a man who couldn't care less. I made a slight mistake. And by slight, I mean an uncharacteristic lapse in judgement has landed me in a place that my rational mind cannot explain, and my body cannot escape. A land full of strange creatures and decaying landscape all ruled by quite possibly the rudest, most rotten person I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. Luckily, I'm a woman quite capable of adapting to my surroundings and I have no problem going toe to toe with my grumpy adversary. I might even turn this dismal place around if I'm here long enough. I wonder, though. For someone who insists he prefers a solitary existence, he sure seems to pop up to antagonize me often enough. Imagine my surprise to find the one person I wanted to avoid is the one I've come to crave more than life itself.Complete![Shadows In Time [UNDER REVISION]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/334194377-256-k637348.jpg)
