***Wattpad Picks: Up And Coming***

The magical story of Connor DeGray and his experience with Cirque Periculum. 
  
Connor the Con has found it progressively harder to survive in the small town of Greenview, Kansas. There was no way he was going to go back to that Orphanage for Deprived Boys, and that's where the entire town wants him. 

When he discovers a traveling circus due to arrive in town that week, he hatches an escape plan that involved hijacking the circus and hopefully finding his parents. He discovers there is much more to this circus, and himself, than he had first expected. Join Connor as he travels with a circus that is more than meets the eye, and ultimately finds himself as the central performer to a mystery he must unravel before it's too late. 
  
Fear the Alchemist.

7 parts Ongoing Mature
𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐀 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄, a cursed marionette, a useless puppet under the control of the director. Seven years ago the magic of circus carnival entangled her into selling her soul and now she's trapped into a laberinth of misery without any escape. Her only wish- freedom, her destiny- eternal captivity. Until he arrives. 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍, a twisted soul, a unscrupulous man, with intensions straight out of hell. Just as Selena he fell for the same deception. His only desire- power, his determination- a shattered past. Until she arrives. But the devilish game the circus arranges every year, changes everything. This is a chance for Selenas freedom just as Trevors igniting for revenge. A soul with the price of another. The game is simple yet deadly. Only one can win. But nothing is like it seems. Both are players in a contest that's impossible to prevail. In which their only fate is loss. It's a dance in which illusion and reality, truth and lies, life and death just as love and hate intertwine, banishing Selena and Trevor deeper and deeper into the dangerous secrets of the haunted circus world. ____________ "Welcome ladies and gentlemen, welcome, get your tickets here and enter a magical world full of mystery and games. Let the night with all of its eases begin, till it's sold out to the stars" "If this attraction is so entchanting as they say, can I get a ticket to your heart as well, beautiful?", a deep voice from behind sneaked all the way up into my ear, till attaching into my lost soul, leaving me back with goosebumbs. I turned around and all that I could recognize, was hypnotising me with green. Green like the forest, floated with pumpkin lamps on a rainy autumn day. As all the magic appeared from his eyes and drowned the whole circus in millions of miracles. 𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈
Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies
47 parts Complete Mature
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.
The Slightest Touch by kdjayyyyy
25 parts Complete
Olivia Scott, a New York girl who thought her life was edging perfection with a loving family, luxury, and friends. But little did she know it was far from fairytale, and let alone ordinary. Born with the powers far more dangerous than any, she was led to believe her life was anything but special. Living in a world of deceit, she was adamant on the danger she was marked since the day she was born. But no secrets can remain untold. And she was bound to know them. She was bound to change everything with the help of a mysterious man who suddenly barged into her life. With a touch of fate, a sprinkle of emotions, and bounties on their head, the two hearts found each other as they fought together on a life-altering adventure in their journey to save their people and their world. ~~ "Why are you telling us this anyway?" She asked the man from the future, as he leaned back to the shelf behind him after finishing his explanation. His emerald-colored eyes met her blue ones as he pierced through them seemingly searching far deeper than his eyes could offer. He had longed for her, every minute, every hour and day, though it was far more than he could ever comprehend. But just seeing her in front of him, alive and young, it was all payed for. "Because the last time, I couldn't save you as you died in my arms. And I'm not letting it happen again." ~~ A dark secret kept with a birth of murder, a life of façade, a leap from the future, and a love bound to break. The heaven and earth will meet and only she can hold them in between. Will it be enough?

FREAK SHOW

34 parts Complete Mature

What happens when one of the last freakshows comes to your town? Not only is it a grotesque event viewed for pleasure at a circus but one that harbors secrets and hidden evils behind the curtains. Scarlett didn't know what to think when she heard about the circus coming to her town; her town was small, rarely anything visited it. She never expected to be ripped from her life and forced into their society of freaks, struggling to keep their business. She wasn't and would never be a freak, especially ones that didn't know right morals from wrong ones. ___________________________________ THIS STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC MATERIAL AND POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING CONTENT: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK (18+) I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS 14.
