"When the fell dragon rises, eternal night shall settle upon the land, unleashing the plague of beasts upon the world..."
For nearly fifteen years, the land of Ebea has been cast in an eternal night; the sun never rises, and the moon never sets. Wildlife mysteriously thrives as though nothing has changed. Trees do not die, despite the lack of sunlight. Monsters now freely roam the once peaceful lands. People have become distrustful, especially of outsiders. No one can be trusted.
Elijah is a Savior-in-training, a part of the Order of Light, an organization dedicated to slaying beasts and putting and end to the eternal night. Training since he was seven, graduation day is finally coming up. Soon, he'll have a partner. Soon, he'll be able to help people. Soon, he'll be able to exact revenge.
Nova is also graduating soon. Quiet and shy, she doesn't seem like much, but to the surprise of her classmates, is graduating at the top of the class. She hopes that one day she'll recover the lost memories of her childhood, and find out who she really is.
Together, Nova and Eli will fight against the darkness, and discover something neither of them could've ever imagined...

Remember
Twenty three year old Jace is anything but average. She not only has a dark past, but she kills and hunts the undead and supernatural for a living. Things were pretty normal, (normal for Jace, anyway) until she's almost killed during her latest mission. She regains consciousness in a mysterious castle, owned by the reclusive, and rather creepy Savlian. Not to mention the devilishly handsome, smart-mouthed Dante, the dark, gorgeous, captivating Deanon, and goofy, funny, lame Kareesus. Soon after arrival, Jace starts having strange accounts of deja vu, and she soon learns of her previous life, one where she's a princess in The Realm of Darkness, a universe parallel to ours. But what happened? Where did things suddenly change? As if unlocking her memories and learning to harness her new-found magical powers wasn't complicated enough, she's somehow managed to get involved with two of the castle's residents.

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019
When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixieComplete
Heir to the Hollow
They say the Hollow is dead. But that's a lie. It breathes-slow and hungry-waiting beneath the earth for the ones it marked long ago. Here, trees bleed memories, shadows whisper names that were never spoken, and the wind hums lullabies only the cursed can hear. Ash was born of this darkness. Forged in it. Feared by it. A ruthless heir to something ancient, something twisted. The world calls him a monster-but monsters don't bleed the way he does. And Eira... she was never meant to find him. She should have died the moment she stepped into the Hollow. But the forest let her through. It wanted her. It whispered to her in dreams. Showed her lives she never lived. And now the Hollow is waking... because she carries something it remembers. Something it lost. An army of serpent-eyed creatures begins to stir beneath the ruined soil. A forgotten queen sharpens her claws from the other side of time. And secrets buried in blood and fire are clawing their way back to the surface. But not everything that returns wants to be found. And not every soul that loves you is trying to save you. Some are just waiting... for you to fall.Complete
MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥
My Past or Present!
A Past and Present definitely involve the people in it, but they both have more than that to offer. The situations, the choices made for you and the choices made by you in the past were and the choices would be made for you and by you in the present are as important as the people. Is it possible to fight everything in the past and engulf the present? Or will the external factors will delay the desired result of such fight even after going through the fight? The story of another confused person who is self misjudged and misjudged by others in a whole level or maybe only partly. Let us see whether the light can reach the person's heart while giving it to the other due to just a coincidence like the person thinks. --------------- note: need to read Past or Present to under stand this better...Complete
The sisters and the forbidden chamber
Everyone thought she was dead. They were wrong. Now she's hunting two sisters who don't even know why. Staying alive? That's the biggest fight of all. | Here's a teaser: Then, she felt it again. But this time, the skin wasn't that cold. It was quite warm. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to prepare herself for what she might see, and looked down. That didn't help her at all though, she still gasped, her gasp echoing eerily in the quiet night air; her heart still raced as though in a marathon; her breathing still hitched; a shiver still ran sharply down her spine. There was Vivienne, lying in the grass, a bullet through her heart, limbs mangled, blood everywhere, eyes lifeless. Lydia-against all her instincts-kneeled down beside Vivienne's body, squeezing her wrist tightly. There was no pulse. | I would really appreciate it if u vote and comment! I don't mind criticism!

Shattered
"Now, would I go to prison and atone for my sins? Yes, but I cannot. No matter how hard I've tried." ----- "I swear, I'm not crazy! I just...don't know if the truth is better than a lie." ----- "We're better off dead, aren't we?" "...Yeah, we are." "Good." ----- "What's the point in living when you're built without a purpose?" ----- "Deities, gods, whatever you call them, are nothing more than puppets; cruel, unforgivable puppets drenched in the blood of the very people they were supposed to protect." ----- "We've lived a thousand lives, and we were built for only one purpose; for if we weren't, then what right do we have to exist if not to live for solely that purpose? For their entertainment." ----- "We may be without muzzles, but we're still on a leash. Don't forget that." ----- "You lied to me, and that's how all this came to be." ----- To those who find themselves reading this, know that appearances will deceive you. So, until you're safe from them as well, trust everyone fragilely and have your loyalty lie with you, and you alone. (Book one) -Nyxe
