Aliya had been living with her mom's friends for 16 years now. They told her that her mom had died days after she was born. Nobody ever told her about her father, he was never mentioned. She wanted to know who he was, how her mother had died and why they never mentioned her father. She never did anything to achieve those answers. She was happy where she was already.
She thought she was normal, turns out she wasn't. When she discovers her powers, she starts being watched, followed and attacked. When she was attacked, she went on the run with her sister Sara tagging along.
Not knowing where to go, she is forced to sleep in the woods until she finds some mysterious persons who call themselves "The Survivors"
Not knowing if she can trust them, but having no other options, Aliya finds herself thrown involuntarily in a world of magic, mysteries and war, forcing her to go with the flow to be kept alive, losing loved ones and learning to fight for her life.

The Unordinary
Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing.

The spark and storm
They called her *witch* before they ever saw her power. On the night her village turned to flame, sixteen-year-old **Maya** watched her mother unleash a storm of crystal and fire to save them both. Now hunted and exiled, Maya flees into the forbidden **Blackwood Forest**-a place whispered to be alive, where spirits of light drift between the trees and ancient gods still dream beneath the soil. But something in the forest is watching her. Something old enough to remember her bloodline. And when it speaks her name, the world itself trembles. Bound by prophecy and shadow, Maya must uncover the truth of her family's power-the *Crystalborn*-a lineage once sworn to guard the earth's heart from the darkness below. Yet with every step deeper into the forest, that darkness awakens...and it knows her name. As the boundary between magic and madness thins, Maya will have to decide what she's willing to become to protect what remains of her world. Because some destinies are not chosen. They are awakened.

The Moon's Blood, the Forest's Curse
In a land where the forest whispers with ancient power, the Viravyn, a once-immortal race bound by the magic of their gemstone eyes, were the protectors of the earth and its secrets. Each gem carried the strength of nature itself-wisdom, time, strength, and fate. But when the Kingdom of England, driven by greed, attacked their peaceful homeland, the Viravyn's fate was sealed in blood. A promise made after the first battle kept them safe for a time-but the heart of man, consumed by avarice, would not be denied. The king, hungry for their power, broke his vow, launching a merciless attack on the Viravyn as they slept. Only one survived the massacre: Araneth, a mother from the Thalwyn Clan, who fled with her unborn child. In hiding within a small village near London, Araneth concealed the truth of her people, her eyes hidden from the world. She raised her daughter, Neravyn Solalith, teaching her how to survive in a world that would never accept them, even as the scars of their lost heritage festered within her. But when the soldiers return, hunting the last of the Viravyn, Araneth's final sacrifice ignites the spark of vengeance in her daughter's heart. Now, Neravyn must journey into the heart of the forest that once belonged to her people. The curse of her bloodline will lead her toward the truth of her mother's sacrifice, the truth of the gems that bind her fate, and the truth of a revenge that will burn the world to its core. The forest waits, the moon watches, and the blood of the Viravyn calls.
Siena (Forestfolk, Book 1)
Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance.

In a world where everything is normal, the reality reveals that normal is only what we want to believe in; what we were taught to believe in. However how can we know what is the normal if there exists no abnormality? In a parallel universe, living along side humans, exists what we believe to be the abnormal, the supernatural, a different species. They are what we know from books and folklore as werewolves. But even in their own abnormal world, lies outcasts, a greater abnormality, an abomination, a different breed owing abilities exceeding the average normal werewolf species. Enter Nora Williams, an average she wolf, or so she wants to make believe but only her inner circle knows the secret she desperately tries to hide. Living in the Redwood pack since she was 7 years old, the little girl has made her possible best to withhold a promise she made. Now finally reaching her prime years at 21, she wishes to discover the world in search of answers. However, the most unexpected happened and she had not speculated a certain powerful arrogant Alpha male to disrupt her perfectly laid plans along the way. Alpha Darian, one of the superior beings, what they call the abomination, was born to rule. Although known as abnormal, the young boy has spent his childhood preparing for his reign. His father, the great Alpha Xenon paved the way for him, although in the most ruthless way. His only solace was the little girl with the purest shade of violet eyes. Darian spent years looking for her, his only remaining family including his beta Mykel, but no trace of her. For him there was only her and no one else, but never had he thought a little she wolf would change that. Hate, jealousy, plots, magic, mystery and murder will prove to be obstacles both these wolves have to face. Can both these wolves survive the unforeseen hardships coming their way to reach the final chapter to their happy ending story or will ' All is well that ends well' only be a myth? Keep reading to know.
