is said of legend that there were once ancient spirits that roamed and conquered the Noblelands. Things that could hypnotize the strongest of minds with their words and transform the living into the walking dead with but a touch from their hands. Legend also said that something had stopped them...torn their ranks into shreds and decimated their powers until they were forced into hiding.
Many years has passed since, and history turned into legends, and legends to folk lore. But something is stirring in the depths of the Noblelands once again. Something evil...something ancient, and it is up to John, a nineteen year-old mute, and his friends to save the entirety of their lands. But a great and powerful mystery stands before them and their goal: What is it that stopped the ancient spirits? What is it that rendered them powerless? And will they ever find the answer in time?

Fate's Return (Twisted Fate, Book 2)
Alyssa has forgotten her brush with Death, but David's words have stayed with her: prepare. For what? She doesn't know. For a year, she's trained and become an almost undefeated boxer, putting all of her grief for the boy she loved and lost into being the best fighter. She's fast, strong, fearless. Now strange things have started happening, and she thinks she's losing her mind. How is she supposed to fight against what she can't see? Her mother's mind is clouded with a darkness no medicine can fix, and an ancient shadow circles the town, and Alyssa knows it's somehow related to her. Gifted in ways she doesn't understand, she's thrust into a triangle of devotion and danger-an angelic protector who refuses to leave her alone, a boy whose hands have held hers through the nights, and a darkness that wants only to make her surrender. In a race that runs as fast as her fists, Alyssa must choose who to trust and how much of herself to give-because the only way to stop a thing that feeds on light may be to become what it fears most. Will she save her mother and keep her humanity, or the secrets hasn't discovered cost her everything?Terminé
Fate's Exchange (Twisted Fate, Book 1)
Death wants her. Fate has already claimed her. Angels protect her. When Atropos's blade cuts a life she should not have taken, the Sisters of Fate move heaven and Void to buy time. Death always makes its quota, and Alyssa is on its list. When Alyssa Frank dies trying to save herself from a brutal attack, she finds that second chances do exist. Now, reliving the final week leading to her death, she must discover the right choices in a sea of wrong. Angels walk the halls of her school in human skins, a Brother too close to mortal warmth watches over her, and a teacher with hidden faces threatens the town's safety. When the Sisters insist fate must be honored and the Brothers bend rules to protect her, Alyssa must choose whom to trust-and how much of herself she's willing to lose to win. With new love brewing and friendships on the line, what happens when chances run out? Fate's Exchange is the first twist in Alyssa's journey, a raw story of choices, stolen moments, and a cosmic bargain that teaches Alyssa the cost of saving others.

(REWRITING) The Skylar Experiment : Coveting
"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.Terminé

Awakening
A small and quiet Utah town is full of life. Friendly neighbors. Beautiful scenery. Friends and family that stand by you no matter what. And the light of faith being their guide and protection. Also hostile shadowy creatures, a town-wide epidemic, an unexpected famine, and unrest between even the closest of friends. And standing in the middle of it all is an ordinary young man with the remarkable, and secret, ability to see spirits and specters. Or at least, that's what he thought. Turns out he's the most unordinary being there, and with his town falling into disarray, all he has are his abilities and a mysterious weapon only he can wield.

the rise of the void
After their victory at the Temple of Elarion, the guardians are celebrated as heroes, but they know the threat of the Void is far from over. The dark leader's ominous words echo in their minds, spurring them to uncover more about this looming menace. As they study the tome and consult with scholars and sages, they learn that the Void is an ancient, primordial force of chaos and entropy, intent on unbalancing the world and consuming its light. The guardians' quest takes them across diverse and dangerous lands. They seek out hidden archives, long-forgotten temples, and wise hermits, each revealing pieces of a larger puzzle. They learn that the Void can be temporarily repelled but never fully destroyed, as it is a natural counterpart to the light. However, there are ways to maintain the balance, ensuring that neither side gains dominance. Their journey is fraught with peril as the Void's influence begins to manifest more visibly, corrupting nature, warping creatures, and drawing in those who seek power. The guardians must face off against these corrupted beings, all while dealing with their internal struggles and the growing pressure of their mission. In a climactic revelation, they discover that the convergence mentioned in the tome-the alignment of stars that amplifies the Star of Elion's power-also has a counterpart: a celestial event that strengthens the Void's influence. This event is rapidly approaching, and the guardians realize they must act quickly to prepare. The story culminates in a desperate bid to gather allies and fortify a sacred site believed to be a focal point of the Void's influence. As the celestial event looms, the guardians face their greatest challenge yet, battling not just physical manifestations of the Void but also the lure of despair and doubt within themselves.
