How do you protect a world you know nothing about?
How do you defeat enemies light years ahead of you?
Most importantly, how do you survive it all?

Victoria Viris transferred to Robus sans hopes and dreams. Lost and floundering, curiosity bested caution and she decided to delve deep into the former academy of her enigmatic dead mother.

Her efforts opened to her a world of magic and mayhem, a world who's existence she always suspected but could never prove. Heralded as Aqva, Keeper of Water, an impossible responsibility is thrust upon her- to keep the Heaven's Cry secure, as her ancestors did before her. 

But her ancestors never had to deal with an immensely powerful group of magic toting criminals intent on 'saving' the world. She's not alone, there are other keepers; but even together they may not be enough. Especially when everyone has a mountain of their own to climb.

Please bare with me, I know I haven't updated in a while but I promise I'm still here and as invested in the story as ever :)

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld. Credits for the cover go to an absolutely amazing cover artist and fellow writer Narcisse Navarre @InkSorcery. The Prophecy of Water is ONLY available on Wattpad.

Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'

Thousands of years in the future, our civilisation is just an ancient myth. Liana, a 13 year old girl lives in Seren-ila, a valley with a peaceful, sustainable culture, cut off from the rest of the world for hundreds of years. Her best friend, Herago, has an idea about how to show people things that are impossible. Liana dreams of another world outside her valley. Maybe that's where she will find her father, Ralkino, who disappeared when she was little. But neighbouring Bartyronis and its cruel, vain ruler, Tyro, have discovered Seren-ila. The Bartyronians invade, and Seren-ilians are enslaved. Liana and Herago fight back with humour, magic tricks, and dreams. Can children defeat a mighty empire? ***Children, or those reading for children: this story has been fully written, and will only have minor edits as chapters are posted.
