All of her life, Iris Hawkewood has been living in the Ashview Falls Orphanage in the seemingly ordinary town of, well, Ashview. But she is anything but ordinary. For as long as she can remember, Iris has had these...abilities. She has fought hard to keep them a secret. After all, she couldn't afford to lose the only family she ever had. But she knows things are beginning to change. And people are taking notice. Iris is fully aware that she will soon have outgrown her time at the orphanage, and she is more fearful than ever about what her powers could do in the outside world. Disaster seems inevitable...
That is until her elusive Aunt Alice offers to adopt her. After spending time at the Hawkewood Manor, Iris begins to realize that her powers may have been more important than she thought. But danger is lurking around the corner just like it has been her entire life. Stakes are high, all bets are off. And now, danger is here.

Once Upon a Fairytale
Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever. Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too. Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret. But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself. And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.Lengkap
Hit Rewind
Time heals all wounds. When you have the power to rewind it, you begin to wonder whether it's too much responsibility for one person to hold. ***** Sometimes, walking away is the scariest, yet the bravest thing one can do. Iris Fox would know; after returning to the coastal town of Emelle Bay, Oregon, and finding her life in shambles, it's hard to ignore the voice in the back of her head that beckons her to stay. Days turn into weeks, which turn into months, and Iris finds herself drawn to the heartbreaking reminders of how it all went wrong. Echoes of unfinished business and painful memories wash up, awakening the dormant power to rewind time, and Iris realizes she has a choice to make--she can either use her power to try and fix what has been stolen from her, rewriting her past, present, and future, or she can tuck the past where it belongs. Either way, there's only one conclusion. All actions have consequences. ***** Open Novella Contest -- prompts 24, 33, & 54 [[WATTPAD FEATURED STORY X2]] [[OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2024 ROUND 1 AMBASSADORS' PICK, LONGLISTER & SHORTLISTER]] [[THE AMBYS 2025 AMBASSADOR'S PICK IN CONTEMPORARY NOVELLA]] © 2024 caterina george // all rights reservedLengkap

Just one minute to breathe without everyone's disappointment bearing down on her. Ironically, she drunkenly stumbled into the house of a man who was exactly that: invisible. Cursed by a vengeful witch, Cole lived a lonely life as an invisible boy, abandoned by his family and resigned to his fate. Then one day, a half-drunk woman staggered into his apartment, and for the first time in his life, he was seen. Cursed, Cole had accepted his fate long ago. Now, Cole wants nothing more than to be seen, and he's going to stop at nothing to be who he's meant to be once more, for him and for her. **WATTYS 2026 NOMINATION**Lengkap
