Book One of Pan of Never Duology Have you ever wondered what came after Wendy and the other Darlings? What of all the other children Peter has visited over the years? Surely, there are many. I would find it very hard to believe that the ever-playful Peter Pan would not spread his legacy on to a new generation of believers. Where would the world be if children did not believe in silly fairy tales such as Peter Pan? Gwen and her sister have heard the tales of Peter Pan since they were tiny children. Never had they gave a single thought that he or the whole of Neverland, might actually exist. He had always been a figment of imagination. A pastime for children. They thought wrong. When Gwen and Wendi are kidnapped in the dead of night, who is going to save them from the Neverland pirates and the dangerously attractive captain leading them? When Gwen is stuck between the playful rogue and the handsome pirate, the hero and the villain will clash in a battle of wills bigger than either thought possible. And in the end, good always triumphs over evil. Right? Will the boy who never grew up stand a chance with the girl who never saw him coming? **The Token Awards 2017 Third Place Winner! ** **A WattNeverland Account Featured Story. ** The beautiful cover is made by the amazing @ryuwelp00 !!

A mangled curse. An old feud. A horrible monster. Ever since the Beast overthrew the King three years ago, the country of Fabel has been on the edge of chaos and Annalise's nameless village is one of many places hanging onto order by a fraying thread. With only a thin stretch of danger infested forest away from the old castle, it's prime hunting ground for the Beast. As if fending off regular attacks weren't enough, denying the advances of a monster hunter turns out to be harder than it ought to be, especially since Anna already has an engagement ring on her finger. But it only takes one broken bargain to shatter everything Annalise knows. To save her father from a fatal mistake, Anna agrees to take his place as the Beast's prisoner. But she hasn't given up on going home so she strikes a deal of her own. She can leave the castle, but only if she breaks the curse that binds the Beast - a curse he can't tell her how to break. But as Anna struggles to figure out how to release the Beast from his enchantment before time runs out, she catches the attention of the Enchantress who first cast it, an Enchantress with a long memory and unfinished business. And she doesn't plan on fighting fair. (Formerly Red as Roses)
