The twenty first century is a period of awakening, set in motion by a group of rouge diviners. The last time this happened was at the beginning of the Dark Ages and the events were put into motion by one single diviner: Cailleach.
Cailleach had been sentenced to exile in the shadow realm where he faced eternity without the hope of redemption. Clinging to memories of a single human woman, Cailleach finds his light in the darkness and becomes the protector of wanderers in the lost forest...
...Until he is offered a chance at redemption. All he must do is protect and guide one human female.
Awen may be the "hand of god"; a physical incarnation of goodness on earth and redemption for the human race but darkness crashes around her. Outside forces have controlled Awen's life from birth and the time of reckoning is upon her.
The two must face their own duality and achieve balance for the whole of humanity. This will require sacrifice...but is the sacrifice too big?

Tempris
[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.Complete![Tempting Darkness [17+] ✔](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/219526732-256-k941520.jpg)
Tempting Darkness [17+] ✔
Copyrighted 2020 **Book 1 in the Darkness Series!** **Completed!** *Under construction* There was a creature locked away miles beneath the stone streets of Deshua, Oregon. A monster with the body of a man, jet black eyes of a soulless demon, and even darker feather wings cascading from its back. Those foolish enough to believe its unnatural, ethereal beauty would call it a fallen angel. The immortals who inhabited the town knew better. They knew to call it daemonium-demon. Forced asleep by a council who believed in the greater good, many revered the monster. Yet the town's eternal population was torn in two. Half awaited the day for the foretold cursed soul to come and resurrect their lord and the other half feared it just as much. And guess who got to be that lucky bitch. *No love triangle* -&- **WARNING** This book WILL have mature, adult content! Please be aware of this before reading. If you are under the age of 17, DO NOT READ. If you can not handle mature scenes DO NOT READ. You have been warned.Complete

Along the way, she meets and befriends fellow travelers, all of whom hide a great darkness in their hearts. Together the group ventures through the kingdom of Cantien and grow slowly closer together and closer to their goal. Accomplishing the impossible, killing a daemon. This story was written for Nanowrimo 2021. It has not been edited nor beta read therefore it is most likely filled with grammar and spelling mistakes, my apologies in advance. This story is also incomplete and most likely will never be completed since I lost the document that had the plot outline on it. But if someone really wants me to finish it I will, I just don't have the time right now. The second half of this story was written after I was in a bus crash and had whiplash so... be niceComplete
Chained A Fated Mate Romance
This is a fated mate romance between a reluctant fiery woman and an alpha male who is more then used to getting his way. Their bloodlines make them special, either miracles or abominations depending on who you ask. Being fated means they have a biological need for one another that comes more naturally then the touchy feely side of things. Add that to an Overlord who's out for one thing and a world they can't really trust and I would say it has a way of keeping ones interest. Angels, Vampires, Nephilim, Witches, Gryphons and even Fate. This Series will have a bit of everything and is told from two perspectives. ~E~ Fate is a grade-A royal jerk. I'm too young for this... Mates are supposed to be a rarity dangit. No this isn't happening. I won't let it happen. I'm supposed to be free, the only one not born to serve. One seductive brooding man isn't about to change that... right? Right. Now I just need to get him to stop undressing me with his eyes. ~C~ He called her a gift, trying to claim credit for what Fate has provided me. She's hardheaded, brazen, and has a constant need to disobey me, but the burning desire I have for her veils it all. She thinks she has a choice; thinks the fever can be denied. Stubborn little minx, soon enough, she'll be begging to be mine.Complete
