[WATTY'S 2024 SHORTLIST] When the Ravos Kingdom abducts the Nyrial Emperor's dragon, princess Aeryn Glastos must marry the demon prince planning her assassination to save her empire and end the war while guarding her heart and a dangerous secret. ------------ The twenty-two-year-old Draconian princess is starting her final year at Insignia Academy during the height of the war between the Draconians and demons. Aeryn's dream is to graduate as a bonded Champion in the Fire Force and fight in the war. The only problem is, she is the only Draconian to never receive a power by age twenty. Ashamed of his powerless daughter, the emperor of the Nyrial Empire proposes a marriage between Aeryn and the Ravos Kingdom's demon prince to end the war and get his dragon back. Shade Cross is ruthless, cunning, and dangerously powerful. Everything he touches dies, except Aeryn. He awakens something in her she has never felt before and she acquires not one, but two powers. She must navigate both nations built upon lies, betrayals, a forbidden alliance, and a deadly curse. When she discovers the truth about her empire, she must make a choice: protect the secrets and save her father, or side with the enemy. Aeryn needs to be careful because when it reigns, it pours, and she is caught right in the middle of a feuding storm between both nations.

Lyla has spent her entire life in a quiet border town, where the woods are familiar and danger has always felt far away. Until one moonless night, something finds her in the forest. Her attacker moves faster than any human should. His blood tastes strangely sweet. And when an eerie cry rises from deep within the woods, even he is afraid. Lyla escapes-but the life she knew is already over. Beyond the safety of her small town lies a world she was never meant to discover, filled with creatures, secrets, and a darkness creeping ever closer to home.

History has always belonged to those who remained to write it. It remembers heroes and villains, victories and betrayals, but rarely everything that came before. The choices no one noticed. The mistakes no one understood. The moments that changed everything long before anyone realised the story had already begun. Because sometimes the truth is not hidden. Sometimes it is simply forgotten. The stories remembered the prince. They remembered the chosen girl of light. They remembered the villainess who was destined to fall. They never knew what was left unwritten. Beyond the capital lay forgotten kingdoms, ancient forests untouched for centuries, creatures lost to time, and a world far greater than any story could contain. A world where magic can create wonders or leave scars, where monsters gather for reasons no one understands, and every answer only reveals how many questions were never asked. Some endings were never written. Some stories refuse to stay the way they were told. Content Note: A slow-burn reincarnation/transmigration fantasy that focuses on the journey rather than rushing to the destination. Come for the plot, stay for the banter, chaos, and all the little moments that make the adventure worth it.

In a world where insignias determine status, talent, and destiny, those born without one are treated as nothing. They are called Nulls. Arthur Lynwirth enters Eldoria Academy carrying no insignia, no noble background, and no interest in standing out. Quiet and detached, he spends most of his days avoiding attention, training alone, and trying to survive academy life beside his loud-mouthed best friend, Darius. But despite Arthur's efforts to remain unnoticed... people can't help but notice him. Professors grow suspicious of the knowledge he casually reveals. Students whisper about the strange pressure surrounding him. Even powerful Cresteds find themselves unsettled by him without understanding why. Because Arthur isn't normal. He knows things he shouldn't know. Moves in ways he shouldn't move. And at times, it feels as though something ancient is staring back through his eyes. As tensions between Cresteds and Nulls continue to rise, forgotten legends surrounding Luciel - a figure long buried within myth and history - slowly begin resurfacing. And the deeper Arthur is pulled into the mysteries of the world, the more dangerous his existence becomes. Especially when even the strongest people around him begin asking the same terrifying question: Who... or what... is Arthur Lynwirth? Filled with mystery, brotherhood, hidden power, comedy, emotional bonds, and ancient secrets waiting to awaken, The Boy Without an Insignia is the beginning of an epic fantasy journey about a boy the world saw as worthless... unaware that his existence may one day change the world itself.

A companion archive from The Solah Saga. The Faceless One is a disputed folklore collection preserved within the Solan Royal Archive, where many of the surviving tales, records, myths, and restricted histories of Solah are kept. Long before Wander's Lost, before Solah's laws hardened into doctrine, people across the realm told stories of something that came near death. Not a monster. Not a killer. Not a god that begged for worship. Just a tall, silent figure in a dark ceremonial cloak, without a face, appearing when the ending was already too close to stop. The Crown calls it folklore. A rural death myth. A pattern born from grief, plague, war, Flux exposure, and frightened villages trying to give shape to something no one can escape. But the records do not stay clean. Burial customs repeat in villages that never traded with each other. Bells turn west. Black leaves appear in sealed rooms. Dying people describe the same forest without ever leaving home. And again and again, the Faceless One does not threaten, punish, or chase. It just... arrives. The research was collected by a mysterious figure whose name has been removed from the archive. No scraping, solvent, or ordinary censorship explains the absence. The record simply refuses to give the name back. Could this be the same unknown researcher whose name was struck from Orm Ormsby's work on the Flux? Or is the Crown hiding something older than Orm, older than Solah's laws, and far closer to death than anyone in the archive wants to admit? The Faceless One is an in-world Royal Archive collection of disputed records, rural testimonies, funeral customs, and forbidden accounts concerning Solah's oldest death myth. This is not required reading for Wander's Lost, but it reveals a darker, older part of Solah's history and the kind of truth the Crown prefers to preserve only as myth.

She was sentenced to walk as an empty shell. Now, she is coming to slaughter the King who stole her world. Once an elite swordswoman trained by the King's most trusted guard, Elara believed in loyalty-until the King traded her sickly little sister to a corrupt noble like livestock. When her mentor betrayed her for royal gold, Elara fled into the freezing night, only to watch her sister die in her arms. Driven by grief, Elara committed an unforgivable sin, pouring poison into the realm's sacred river. But divine justice was swift. The Goddess of Humanity ripped the heart from Elara's chest, condemning her to immortality without warmth, a hollow torso filled only with a freezing, metallic wind. Her sentence? Perform good deeds to earn back her humanity, or burn for eternity. But Elara isn't playing by divine rules. Weaponizing her cold immortality, she begins performing "good deeds" her own way-by ruthlessly dismantling the King's shadow operations from the inside. When she crosses paths with Cassian, the brilliant, level-headed heir of a powerful political family targeted by the Crown, two sworn enemies are forced into an unholy alliance. Cassian seeks an honorable rebellion to save his people. Elara seeks to put a blade through the King's eye and spit in the face of the Goddess who condemned her. Redemption is a lie. Vengeance is the only thing beating in the dark.
