Blade of Will
Cornelia Aurora Estawrozai, wielder of the royal family's magic and heir to the Lasmorthian throne... doesn't exist. The day she was born, she had a sister-an identical twin, born mere minutes later. What should have been a moment of joy quickly turned to dread. It was only the second time in Lasmorthian history that identical twins were born into the royal line, and the first time had ended in betrayal and civil war. Both twins had shared equal magic, but a rewritten contract ensured only the elder's bloodline would inherit it. That didn't stop the younger from turning on his brother, fracturing the kingdom in two. So this time, there was no celebration. There was fear. To prevent history from repeating itself, it was decided: the younger twin would be sent away. The elder would remain-but stripped of her inheritance. The royal magic would instead pass to a younger brother yet to be born. But their mother had other plans. Following a cryptic prophecy from the Oracle, she made a fateful choice. The twins were switched. The eldest, magic and all, was cast out. And the world never knew. Now, that girl-who named herself Sky-lives free of titles, crowns, and destiny. After escaping an abusive adoptive family and discovering her dormant power, she joined a guild of assassins led by a secretive, enigmatic master. Trained in magic, shadow, and steel, Sky has one goal: to be strong enough to choose her own fate. Whether she returns to claim the power stolen from her is not for others to decide. The throne may call to her. But only she will choose whether to answer.
Running
Strength, power, authority, and being feared is thought to be the things needed to survive in Akantha's world of the Othaminia. But sometimes, you need more. You need to fear, fear it's self. When the light of Akantha's world leaves, and she is left with her self in the fight to survive, she flees the the human world, all the while, keeping her big secret safe. With her adopted human family to look after her, you can't imagine anything going wrong. Years after, when Akantha is finally about to turn 16 and come to her full strength, the Othaminian kings guards turn up at her human house, wanting her back after her flee became public. When the turn up at Akantha's human house, Akantha was with her human friend. When she gets back to the home she has grown to love, she finds her Uncle has been shot in the leg, and her little brother suffering a head shot. Three men come into the room where the shots were fired, and Akantha has no choice, but o run, causing her to become a fugitive of police. Once again, for the second time in her life, the light fades away. I do not own any of the character names. However, I do own Othaminia, which is a mythical creature that I basically just created. The creature has the strength of a thousand men, their voice has this force that can blow people off their feet (literally), their hair can change colour and length, and their eye's can change colour. These people are something that I've been thinking of for the past few nights, and I really wanted to show the (wattpad) world. Hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoy writing it, and pleeeeeeaaaaaaase share, comment, and vote. It would mean a lot to me. Don't be a silent reader, cause I love to see what you think about my books, so enjoy, and and I hope you like it. See ya mythical creature lovers. Again, Enjoy.Complete
