In a dystopian future, magic runs wild while technology rules the world. After the second war with the Cretarians, the race of people who could wield magic and powerful abilities,  humans have retreated into Bound societies where they hide from the Cretarians. The humans have found a way to protect themselves from the power of the Cretarians and have put huge numbers of people in cities with the Boundary around them, to protect them. Within these Bound cities, Academies have been placed to train the youngest soldiers to be able to defeat the Cretarian threat once and for all.

Thackeray Swann, one of the brightest minds of his age, has been chosen to go beyond the Boundary to study the Cretarian world but what he gets is anything less than what he expected. Suddenly when his world is turned upside down, he is thrust into the ongoing battle between Light and Dark, a war that has been raging for centuries. Everything he has known has changed and with it his view on this Bound world. Maybe there is a chance for redemption when he meets Kida, the deadly but beautiful princess of the Cretarians who shows him the truth of the world and with it, the power of the Light. But the light is dying and only this rebellious soldier can save it.All Rights Reserved

Star Kissed by LizzyFord

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.

I heard you by MissAutumnBlue

Lotticia Andrews had spent her entire life behind the walls of her library. Her father raised her to be selfish, and to fear the outside, and even after his death- she never left. She and her border collie had remained- until their food ran out. Lotticia wasn't a fighter, she only ever knew how to use knives- a knife her father had taught her how to use. A knife, a dog, a journal, and anxiety are all her father left her with. And books- hundreds of books. Then a Warrior general stomps his way into her life- trampling her solitary and lonely life. He's loud and obnoxious, imposing- but there seemed more beneath his hard exterior. His personality was a weapon he wore like his armor. General Christoph was a harsh leader compared to his predecessor Zelle. The warrior who trained him and chose him to continue in his footsteps after his death. He was bitter and cynical- and didn't intend to take another woman after his mate had died all those years ago. But things don't always go according to plan- he never meant to stumble upon a small female, nor her furry big-eyed dog. Christoph needed this human, for her knowledge and the language she could help them to understand her hand language. A small group, a one-day trip- that was all it was supposed to be. But then no one expected poachers, Another human female, or the natural cycle and what it could do to the human body. Christoph had completely underestimated the trip. Now war has broken out and tensions rise- both buried feelings and skeletons come falling out of the closet. Can this spunky smart girl survive the Palace's wrath? Can Christoph face the reality that things aren't always what they seem nor black and white? Will Lassie play her part- and find her way home? Who knows- maybe humanity was doomed on Earth- but that won't be Lottie or her dog- because she's willing to do whatever it takes to get moved up to the front of the list. Even if it means dealing with the palace, poachers, and skrill alike.

Graze Her Heart by jaydafirebitch1

This is an instalove fantasy story, still in the works! Greya Fussodd, she needs an escape, she didn't expect a tall, broad stranger to interrupt her plan. Quin, a disgustingly attractive cutthroat, focused on his mission, though his target is a bit more distracting than he thought. Her history buried with secrets of things that only existed in her childhood mind. She finds that she and Quin are connected in more ways than the searing heat between them. -------- This isn't serious writing. It's more of a make you wish your life wasn't boring and single fluff piece. Let's be real, that's the only reason we use wattpad. It's super fast paced and it's fantasy. Some characters are NOT human so don't be complaining 'bout how they're real touchy n' stuff.
