Deceit. Love. Power. Centuries ago, the mages of Old Denea destroyed their civilisation to keep Mai, a half-blood prince, from inheriting the throne. Mai rescued the survivors from the remaining Devastation and brought them to Eurora. Since that time the refugees' descendants have toiled--ostracised and feared by the Eurans, enslaved by the strict dictates of the Magisterium that keep their powers in check--hoping to earn forgiveness from the now god-like Emperor Mai.Rina, a young Denese woman leaves her home in Eurora's northern outpost, Amadore, and travels to the capital, Nebia, determined to find a way to convince Mai and the Magisterium to free her people before they rise up. But when she gets there, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to trigger the demise of another nation.Featured on:@highfantasy MIDDLE EARTH| Fantasy Adventure reading list (December 2020)@WattpadDarkFantasy Dark Arts reading list (December 2020)Cover by Rocking Book Covers ☆☽○☾☆ 🥇Ist Place Fantasy: Shadow City Awards 2020🥇1st Place Fantasy: Winter Rose Awards 2020🥇1st Place Fantasy: The Magical Awards 2021🥉3rd Place Fantasy: Everythings Canceled Awards 2020🥉3rd Place Best Leading Female: Shadow City Awards 2020🥉3rd Place Fantasy: Gen Z Awards 2020#sunflowerawards2020#oceanawards2020#kiwigirlawards…

✈️ Formerly featured on Wattpad Picks✈️Thomas has it all: nobility, money, the girl, and a position waiting for him at the family business. But when he thinks about the life ahead of him, he can't breathe. So he takes a gap year backpacking. Nadia's relationship with Khai has many faults, but true love isn't supposed to be easy, and she's already joined him, belatedly, halfway around the world. So, she might as well stick it out. When Thomas and Nadia meet in a hostel in Peru, sparks fly, then Nadia finds herself dumped and almost out of cash. It's the perfect time for Thomas to make his move. Unfortunately, Nadia is determined to get back with her ex and is on her way to Cusco to do just that. So, Thomas follows, braving dodgy night buses and budget accommodation in a bid to win her heart.

Frenchy's Sunset Surf School | Blind Date 18 of 31 🏄🏼♀️Suzi needs a date. Well actually, based on the bet she just made with her two best friends, she needs thirty-one dates. Thirty-one blind dates to be exact. It's the perfect way to prove to herself that her ex was wrong. She isn't too closed-minded. Despite her hesitation, she throws herself into the experience. Afterall, what is there to lose? A lot, it turns out. After surviving a succession of near misses, including entering a different dimension, a time loop, a Wookie, and a murdered date, she is ready for something relatively normal. So, when her mum organizes a sunset surf lesson, she figures it will be an opportunity to burn off all the chocolate ice cream and have an early night. Then along comes Olivier: cute, French, and full of surprises. Could date #18 lead to something more? * * *This one-shot is part of the 31 Blind Dates anthology from more than two dozen Wattpad writers including members of the Stars program, published authors, Ambassadors and Wattys winners. At the end of each story, you will find the link to the next chapter in the collection. * * *Cover image by Gerson Repreza (@gersonrepreza) on Unsplash. Cover made using Phonto and Canva.…
