The Winterlands, a place that has been claimed uninhabitable, deserted. According to the legends of the Continent, people had tried to live there, centuries before, but each and every one of them had died, lost to the cold, lost to starvation, or destroyed by the ancient Sleepers.
To the people of the Continent, the Winterlands are a simple story, a tale told to children in order to frighten them into behaving. The Sleepers, the truth of them distorted by time, are the things of haunts.
However, contrary to the Continent's legends, to their beliefs, people did survive the harshness of the Winterlands. Their legends are their history, the monsters are very much real, and after centuries of slumber, the Sleepers are waking up.
And they are much, much worse than anyone dare believe.

The Serpent and the Unicorn: Books I and II
What if the Myth were real and everything else mattered not? What if your very soul hung in the balance? Enter a land where the Myth is real, but many have forgotten or scorn the Truth and those who fight to uphold it. The adventure is about to begin, for even those who fight for justice are about to rediscover why. This story is not just another tale of an orphan who finds a magic sword, discovers a forgotten lineage, finds a few friends, and conquers an overwhelming evil. This is a story that crosses a continent, transcends time, plunges deep into the very soul of man, and explores all the vastness and intricacies of life. It is a story of good and evil, love and war, truth and absurdity, courage and faith, hope and despair, humor and adventure, and everything that moves the human soul. Whether viewed as Truth or Myth, it is a tale to make one think and a story full of adventure, intrigue, love, sorrow, hope, and humor: much like this dance we call life. It is a fairy story in that it involves unicorns, dragons, and other uncommon beasts and certain aspects of magic, but it is also a human story that explores the questions, doubts, fears, and triumphs common to the hearts of men. The Brethren are an ancient brotherhood entrusted with preserving and disseminating knowledge, truth, and justice since time began; they have survived indifference, hostility, disaster, war, plague, and obscurity but ever they persevere in their age-old duties. Of late, they have fallen into obscurity due to over-caution and the forgetfulness of the people they serve. A strange encounter rouses them from their secrecy and sends one of their most talented agents into the heart of a sworn enemy only to unveil an even older and more dangerous foe.Complete

Innocent
"But you chose to kill me instead, And play the hero 'till you dropped dead. Carried on the shoulders of your righteous soldiers, While my body was discarded at the borders-" ... How cruel must one be to massacre his own kind? Once a celebrated warrior, now the nightmare of a horrid tragedy. A century has passed since the fall of one of the greatest nations, more than a hundred years since the collapse of mighty Caelus at the hands of one man. A hundred years since the wicked traitor was banished to the cursed forest, and since then, rumors followed his name wherever it was whispered throughout the lands. That he was merely insane; he slaughtered his people and set his own wings aflame, a beast who gruesomely devoured the heart of his sole brother- Or, perhaps, he's but an old man's tale. Haunted is the Malus forest by his name, a prison to the fallen soldier as many claim. As you know, words wander and circulate, so trust none but my own, for only I can tell you the truth. The day I was abandoned there, and the night I met him.![The Winter Born [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/27105344-256-k204962.jpg)

The Dark Lord's Kiss for the Pure Virgin Girl! 🦇🖤
Lara, in this magical and enchanting world, nothing is a lie! So believe in fairy tales. This was the phrase my mother whispered to me every night with her gentle voice. When she read the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk," I would always curiously ask: • But why don't I have a magic bean that can take me wherever I want? She would smile kindly and keep hope alive in my heart. We all believed in magic and wizards as children, fairy tales, and Little Red Riding Hood! I wished I would never know the bitter taste of reality. But years after her death, I faced the harsh reality of the world; a reality I had always tried to escape. After my mother's death, her voice remained with me, inviting me to the bright world of hope; unlike many who grew up and no longer believed in any childish dreams. But I remained faithful to stories and the land of fairies, believing that destiny awaits us all! We are born into different tales and live with love. However, the bitterness of the world ensnared me in its grip. Just when I was only nine years old, I became acquainted with the bitter reality of life; when the snowy night arrived! I had never seen snow so terrifying and ugly. Because my mother was in bed, coughing up blood and taking her last breaths. A tiny bit of white snow had fallen from my woolen boots onto the ground, and when her hand hung limp, droplets of blood dripped from her fingers onto the snow, turning it red.
