[DE GERMAN WATTYS GRAND PRIZE WINNER & TOP 25 HISTORICAL AWARD 2023] *The perfect first mission for two inexperienced seekers: a small village in the middle of dark forests. Gruesome deaths and mysterious events. Kyle is a self-proclaimed Master of the Arcane Arts and his partner, Dr. Archer has a well-loaded revolver. So what could go wrong?* "Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. The world wants to be deceived; so let it be deceived!" Credo of the Order of Seekers London 1898. Where the summoning of spirits has become as normal as cricket and tennis, the boundaries between fantasy and reality are blurred. In high society, Occultism and membership in 'secret' lodges are the most fashionable thing in the world. A very exclusive group of this kind is the Order of the Seekers, which is dedicated to researching, concealing, and disguising the occurrences of the mysterious. Kyle Crowford and Dr. Benjamin Archer are newcomers to the Order, recent graduates of the initiation rite, and eager to embark on their first mission... until they find out that it will take them to the remote backlands in the middle of Dartmoor. In a world beyond the obvious, where magic can bend reality and nightmares can become true, the agents must face the mysteries surrounding the gruesome deaths in Dartmoor - ideally without becoming the next victims themselves. Because, alongside their secrets, there are unexpectedly dark abysses lurking in St. George. *** GERMAN WATTYS 2022 GRAND PRIZE WINNER EDITORS PICK DE APRIL 2023 TOP 23 WATTPAD HISTORICAL AWARDS 18 x FEATURED ON OFFICIAL WATTPAD PROFILES** 🥇1st End of the Year Award 2022 Paranormal Moonly Awards Mystery Bungou Grand Prix Mystery Sweet Waffle Awards Mystery Pink Cloud Award Mystery Pacific Awards - Mystery Blurb WSP&Hibiscus Award Fighting Scene Hibiscus&Auctor Award Antagonist Auctor Award Protagonist Pawesome Award Cover&Best Opening Chapter Lion Awards

"I see you. I've been seeing you all along." The unread messages are over. The scholarships are won. But as Amaya and Ishaan step onto the same campus, they realize that being in each other's presence is a whole different game than being behind a screen. Amaya still hides behind her lens, capturing the world's details while trying not to trip over her own heart. Ishaan is no longer just a "seen" receipt-he's right there, magnetic and steady, watching her with a gaze that says everything they never dared to type. Same Spark. New Stakes. Between the chaos of the canteen and the quiet corners of the courtyard, the "mismatched" duo is back. But with the weight of the future and the ghost of every unsaid word between them, will they finally hit 'send' on their feelings? The "unread" era is over. The real story begins now.

The Moon Goddess, Luna, rules the night from a throne no one could reach, and no one could truly see. She has everything a god could possess, power, beauty, luxury, and wisdom-except one thing she was never meant to want: a life of her own. Every step she takes away from divinity pulls her deeper into consequences the gods will not forgive. For once a god learns to feel like a human, even the heavens may no longer be able to bring her back. "Is it wrong... for a being to want something she was never meant to want?" She lowered her gaze toward the world beneath her, where mortals suffered, laughed, and chose-even when it hurt. "I was given everything," "And yet... I envy those who have less, because they have something I do not." Freedom.

The world is a masterpiece built on a lie. Our eyes see the rhythm, but they miss the discord. Twelve-year-old Shiro has never known a day of peace. Born into a lineage of legendary heroes, he was supposed to be the next great flame. Instead, he is "Untuned"-born with a violent nerve disorder called Static that leaves his body in a state of constant, electric rebellion. While the world around him moves in a perfect, synchronized harmony, Shiro is a glitch in the system, anchored to a quiet farm in the Green Province, unbuilt for the world of warriors. His father raised him in the shadow of a legend: Saki, the mother Shiro hasn't seen since he was a child. A Captain of the Citadel and the elite blade of King Solace, she represents the pinnacle of a world that values perfect order above all else. But humanity is looking at a false reality. The peace of the realm is a facade, a "tuned" illusion masking a mysterious phenomenon that is slowly causing the world to drift out of sync. When Saki suddenly returns, it isn't for a homecoming-it's an escape. Having discovered the dark secrets buried beneath the Citadel's laws, she has defied the King to protect the one thing the world considers a "logic error": her son. Now, mother and son are on the run, pursued by unknown enemies and hidden agendas that stretch into the stars. Together with a band of unlikely allies they meet along the way, Shiro must navigate a landscape of hidden truths and ancient phenomena. In a journey that will take them from the highest spires to the deepest mires, Shiro will realize that being "Untuned" isn't his weakness. In a world living on lies, the boy who doesn't fit the rhythm might be the only one who can see the truth-and the only one who can save a world that is literally coming apart at the seams. The board is set. The pieces are moving. The Untuning has begun.

IT'S A MATCH OF DEATH Caelia Emerson is about to embark on her greatest journey yet. Her mother has died and her uncle can no longer take care of her anymore, forcing her to leave and find her own path in life after seventeen years of depending on others. But her new life is more than she asked for... Thrown into the kingdom of the Faeries, Caelia learns that her missing father was once a friend to the king of these magical lands. Keeping his promise to his friend, Lucian Xanthias, keeps Caelia in his lands and away from the Half Blood hunters. But his heart is not all too pure when accepting Caelia into his court. Breaking Caelia's lost father's promise, Lucian places her in a match of death to prove to him and his court that she has what it takes to join the Crown. Will Caelia be able to conquer all the mind twists, betrayals, forbidden romances, walking nightmares, and trials set before her? Or will she crumble in the hands of a forgotten promise?

​"I told myself I hated him. But hate is just love with nowhere to go." ​For Lily Thornes, the name Killian Blackwood is a jagged scar on her heart. Since they were children, she has belonged to him in every way that matters, her soul bound to a boy who watched the world burn with cold, hazel eyes. She loved him with a raw, visceral intensity-a love that was never returned, never acknowledged, and eventually, silenced. ​Five years ago, Lily did the only thing she could to survive: she ran. She built a life in the quiet, burying her melancholic poetry and her memories of him under layers of carefully constructed peace. She spent half a decade perfecting the art of avoiding the man who owned her. ​But fate has a cruel sense of irony. ​Killian is back. He isn't just a ghost in the hallways anymore; he's a physical, suffocating presence, and he's staying for a month. A month of shared air. A month of forced proximity. A month where Lily has to watch him from the sidelines, her heart breaking all over again as she sees him with Clara, a woman who seems to have everything Lily ever craved. ​Lily expects the cold shoulder. She expects the silence. ​What she doesn't expect is the shift in the air. The way his gaze follows her every move. The way his silent indifference turns into a dark, terrifying possession. ​As the lines between protection and obsession begin to blur, Lily is forced to face a truth more dangerous than his absence: Killian Blackwood doesn't just want her back. He's decided that she's the only soul he's ever truly wanted-and he's willing to burn the world down to prove it.
