Every night she plays...and every night they come...

Lira is a violinist by nature and a performer by imprisonment. Stolen as a child by a malevolent wraith and trapped in the Spirit World, Lira now spends her days playing the very music that seduced her in the first place. She sees no escape from her existence under the sorceress Bebinn, until one day her music lures Owen who, at age 16, is supposed to be too old to succumb to its spell.  Imprisoned alongside Lira and desperate to find a way back home, Owen vows to find a way to free them both. 

The only problem: no one has ever escaped Bebinn and the Spirit World alive.

But when her ex-boyfriend outs all of her evidence as fake, her fans and the rest of the Internet are quick to turn on her. Now not only is Penelope betrayed, heartbroken, and #cancelled... She's not sure what to believe in anymore. Seeking refuge, Penelope lands in the quiet little mountain town of Ridgestone, far away from the city and reliable cell service.

Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18

It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.

Gods Under The Dome by OctaviaLocke

[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobias

Demonic Delights and Holy Cupcakes by BksbyBkr

Earth and the Eight realms are cut adrift from the network of realities and worlds that make up the expansive Universe, though time will tell if it is enough to stop the World Eater from getting what it wants from Lucifer. Only a few know the truth about what has happened and they struggle to maintain the secret long enough to make a difference in the battle to come. Life has continued, revolving around Lucifer's coffee shop and its menagerie of patrons and the efforts of the Council to keep Earth balanced between light and dark. The only thing reliable in this town is that Sinfully Delicious will be open and that eventually there may be a batch of sticky buns for eager patrons. There will be war. There will be love. There will be sacrifice. There will be loss. But first stop by for a latte, avoid the scones and try not to feed the demons any Nymph Blood. Also, any tips on how to start up a supernatural rodeo would be greatly appreciated. #stickybunsforpeace Book Three of the Devil's Deal Series. Cover by @whiskeyjanedoe
