Cover by @pathways_end (thank you!!) *LONG HIATUS*
In a country called San Marino in Italy, in the capital city called Ventric, the king is dying. His daughter, Yvelin, at 22 years old is at the perfect age for taking over, but since Ventric is an island of old traditions, she has to get married in order to rule. Yvelin thinks it's a stupid rule, but she agrees anyway and goes on the search for a husband with her best friend and guard Ignav. What awaits her is something beyond her imagination and people she didn't know are after her for a chance at the crown.
On the other side of Europe , in London, Venuric is your typical geeky guy, with a passion for photography, which is, coincidently, his job. He also lives with his sister, Eileen, who always tries to set him up with her friends even though he told her he doesn't want to date. When he comes back from work one day and finds a girl with a medieval like dress and a suitcase sitting on the couch talking to his sister he's indifferent, albeit a bit concerned, since his sister has a lot of friends, but little did he know that that girl is going to flip his peaceful world upside down.

the road to where
February 1993 • Milan, Italy ᥫ᭡ Marisa, twenty something, brimming with ambition, is en route to France for work. She works in publishing, and maybe this promotion that's on the horizon will finally be the golden ticket that spirals her into a better life. But the universe makes other plans for her. Plans in the form of airport chaos and a man who looks like he was designed in a lab for the sole purpose of being her next romantic distraction. Decorated with an ambiguous accent and just enough aloofness to be irritating... or maybe just French. And of course, she finds him at the very moment she's trying (and failing) to locate both her inner peace and her passport. Marisa is not the type to fall for foreigners in international terminals. She's a pragmatist with a healthy mistrust of attractive men with high cheekbones and sultry eyes who smell faintly of mystery. And yet, there's something about this stranger, something infuriatingly magnetic, that irremediably pulls her in... until a connection forms. But wait for the moment she realises that maybe he was too good to be true, and that she should've just listened to her gut and not bet a single paper clip on that handsome stranger. What follows is not love at first sight. It's far messier than that. It's stolen glances and shared silences. It's the kind of connection that makes just five minutes apart feel too long. Emotionally constipation at its finest. The kind of thing that's definitely not love... until it inconveniently is. Is it? I don't know. So, sit back. Buckle in. And prepare for turbulence. Not just the kind that rattles the plane, but the kind that stirs something deeper. This isn't just a story about almost missed flights and found people.
Sweet Serenity (Fourth Wing) (Xaden Riorson)
Secrets, betrayal, and forbidden desire intertwine in the world of dragon riders. Serene Panchek has lived her life in the shadows, trained to be silent and invisible, a master at hiding her secrets. But now, as a third-year in the Fourth Wing, she's drawn into the orbit of Xaden Riorson, the infamous rebel leader with secrets of his own. Their connection is electric, undeniable, and dangerous-especially as Serene discovers that the rebellion may be her only way to escape her father's iron grip. But the truth is as deadly as it is liberating, and as the lines between loyalty and love blur, Serene must decide how much she's willing to risk... and who she's willing to betray. When Violet Sorrengail arrives, bringing both chaos and possibility, Serene and Xaden's forbidden connection is tested, revealing a path that could either doom them... or ignite a revolution.

Old feuds, new worlds, and a love that will last a lifetime... Ever since her dad mysteriously abandoned her family, life on the Clifton Estate hasn't been all that exciting for 16-year-old Marla True. Her Mum constantly works to make ends meet, which means Marla has to put up with gossipy old Bev keeping an eye on her and noisy little half-sister Ribbon. If that wasn't bad enough, her exam results are in... and they aren't good. But at least she has her friends. Asher, the responsible and strong boy who has known her all her life and Ed, the orphaned rebel who loves to stir up trouble. Then there's her, Marla, stubborn, fiery and just plain lost. Life on the estate is same-old same-old, until the senile World War Two veteran, Mr. Pelham, starts freaking Marla out with his staring and rambling, cryptic messages. Is he trying to warn her? Or hurt her? When the bored trio decide to teach the creepy old man it's rude to scare young girls, they learn far too late just how crucial it is to respect your elders. For his daughter, Bridget, has a power unlike anything they've ever seen before and she uses her deadly craft to send them to a place that will teach them the lesson of their lifetime. Bridget has sent them back in time, all the way to World War Two, throwing them into a secret fight for the survival of all magical folk in the world. Marla soon learns what it really means to be a True, and the power her absent father has kept from her all her life... Marla, Ed and Asher are thrown into a world they and their generation have no comprehension of, a world where love is a relic of a life left behind and your only duty is sacrificing all that you have. These three friends are about to learn about a side of World War Two that never made the history books. ***I can't take credit for the artwork, it's called A BREAK IN REALITY and it's by the AMAZINGLY talented Xenobyte on deviantart.

Otherworldly
Veronica Dawson was never meant to be more than a reader of someone else's legend. Then she wakes in the brutal halls of Basgiath War College, inside a world she was only ever supposed to escape into. Survival should be simple. Keep her head down. Follow the plot she already knows. Do not interfere. But the moment she becomes Verena Draeven, everything slips out of her control. Dragons take notice of her. Power answers her in ways it should not. And Xaden Riorson, lethal and unreadable, looks at her like he sees the cracks in her soul and the secrets buried beneath them. Verena knows she does not belong in this world. She knows the dangers waiting for her, the deaths that should come, and the monsters hiding behind human faces. She knows the future. She knows the ending. What she does not know is what she is becoming. Because something ancient stirs. Something the dragons recognize. And the longer she remains in this world, the more it bends around her, reshaping itself in ways she cannot stop. If Basgiath begins to unravel, it will not be because she broke the story. It will be because this world was never meant to contain her. A Fourth Wing fanfic Xaden x Female OC
A Tale of Fortunes Cross
This is the story of Karaan a young magic-less merchant, in a world filled with magic and magical creatures. It was party inspired by "Spice and Wolf" But is by no means a "fan-fic". Karaans adventures takes him throughout a wonderful, enormous continent filled with wonderful creatures. It's also the story of a young girl who lived a sheltered life, the daughter of a famous general, until she was sold into slavery in-order to pay off her fathers gambling debt. These two travel together and each experience the world in their own ways. The story is written from a third person perspective. This is the first full length novel type story I've written. (Well full length is a little exagerative, after a little research it's actually about the length of two and a half to three full novels.) A warning the beginning is ok (grammar wise) but after about the first chapter my grammar sucks, I never refined the rest and have no immediate plans to. This story was written for myself I'm just sharing with anyone that might be interested. If bad grammar offends you or you do not like it then feel free to skip this one. This is one of my more family appropriate stories but I will still say, be warned. The story does contain controversial material, and content that might not be suitable for all audiences, read at your own discretion. Most importantly, enjoy. My purpose for posting this is for others enjoyment, if you stop enjoying the story then stop reading. I wrote this for myself, as a form of self expression, I'm not looking for critiques. Feel free to share opinions, but do not be offended if they are ignored. fComplete![Whisper [Fourth Wing]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/355939998-256-k630348.jpg)
