Hemshire was a tranquil village, a hidden one to be specific. With the tall jungle trees obscuring the village walls, only the roofs of houses could be seen. Hemshire was never involved with any war, never any in history. Despite the suffering living in Hemshire, people were grateful of finding the place, not requiring to move to another village often.
Magicians would drop by the village frequently to take quests that held risks, and receive their rewards upon completion, which was basically the people's taxes they paid for every week. Therefore, the people grew a strong hatred against these magicians, they despised them. It was unfair, growing crops in your farm, and only gaining 5 copper pieces as a reward everyday.
However, words were spoken too soon. The next thing you know, Hemshire was suddenly invaded by a group of evil magicians, their black magic hypnotizing soldiers, citizens and even the King, causing destruction and mayhem. The land that was once so peaceful was now in misery with corpses and blood stains all over the village. It was a horrid nightmare indeed.
The father of 10 year old Clarissa died during the war, little survived, and she was lucky to be one of them. She was still unsure if her mother was still alive. She ran away, far away into the woods. She is now determined to find out who these people are and what they have against the people of Hemshire, also searching for her mother along the way. During the journey, she meets this certain someone and discovers a fact about her that is too hard to accept. Will she solve the puzzle, or will it be too late to defeat them?

Becoming Her Dark Side
They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading.

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series)
BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.Complete
Catastrophically Carla (Lesbian Story)
Ages 14+ (lesbian concepts and some profanity) This is not your everyday love story, okay? It's not a chick flick either. The events and themes within my pages have meaning, depth, truth-and most of all, reality. You are about to be taken on an adventure about a girl who's life is not like everybody else's. I look like a normal teen girl, I mean, I have hair and two eyes and two hands and feet like everybody else, but I couldn't feel more different. I have two moms, yes. Let's just get that out there before you start reading and close my diary like everyone in my life has shut me out of theirs. All I want is a normal life with normal friends who don't judge me because of my home situation. I don't even remember the last time I went on a sleepover or called somebody my age. I don't mean to be a downer, because it does get better. Life gets better. Struggles are only temporary, I know that now. And by my last words reach your eyes, I've come a long way, and have grown to see potential in myself. I'm sharing this with you because I want to make a difference. I know now that I'm not the only one in the world that feels alone. I've been there, done that, and there's more loneliness to come, but for now, I feel more prepared for it. I know how it feels to sit by yourself at lunch every day and how it feels to watch others go to prom with dates and feel like shit because you don't think you'd even have any friends to go with. Please ready my diary. I am much older now, and much more wiser, and I can't wait for you to realize the potential in yourself, too.Complete
Throne of Shadow
𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐘 ఌ︎ «vediamo se farai scaccomatto» ⋆༺𓆩⚔𓆪༻⋆ In un'epoca remota, dove la magia e l'oscurità si intrecciarono, l'isola di Akhors era l'ultimo baluardo degli stregoni. Per secoli, la famiglia Kronos aveva governato con saggezza e giustizia, mantenendo l'equilibrio precario tra la luce e l'oscurità. La loro saggezza e il loro potere avevano creato un'oasi di pace e prosperità, dove la natura e la magia si armonizzavano in un canto di bellezza e meraviglia. Ma la famiglia Hagross, ambiziosa e crudele, aveva scoperto l'isola e la sua fonte di potere, e con ferocia aveva attaccato, sterminando quasi tutta la famiglia Kronos. La notte della strage, il cielo si era tinto di rosso, e le stelle avevano pianto lacrime insieme alle vittime. Il re Kolyvan, sopravvissuto alla strage, giurò vendetta e si infiltrò nella corte degli Hagross, fingendosi un umano. Il suo cuore era un fuoco di rabbia e di dolore, e la sua mente era un labirinto di piani e strategie. La regina Eupraxia, astuta e potente, lo accolse con un sorriso enigmatico, e Kolyvan sapeva che doveva essere cauto. La regina era una maestra dell'inganno, e il suo potere era pari solo alla sua bellezza. Kolyvan non doveva affrontare solo lei, ma anche la sua stessa natura di stregone per sopravvivere e vincere. La sua avventura lo porterà in un mondo di intrighi, magia e slealtà, dove gli alleati di oggi saranno i nemici di domani, dove la linea tra il bene e il male è sottile, la verità è solo un'illusione e il finale è stato scritto fin dall'inizio. Ricorda: Come negli scacchi, ogni azione ha la sua conseguenza. ¡Avviso!: Questa storia è adatto per un pubblico non troppo sensibile perché contiene scene violente e crude. ⋆༺𓆩⚔𓆪༻⋆ 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄: ༗ENEMIES to lovers to enemies ༗ forbidden love ༗ Age gap ༗ Slow burn ༗ Powerful family ༗ bad childhood ༗ Mistery
