[AMBYS 2025 GRAND FAVORITE] After receiving an unexpected package from an unexpected sender, seventeen-year-old Amelia Kingston is thrown into the prestigious Olympian High. For someone whose life revolved around constant transferring to schools due to her foster father's odd paranoia, she already knows the rule of thumb: fit in, act natural and most importantly, don't attract unnecessary attention.Unsurprisingly, she breaks all three and ends up staggering to the school's electrical room, only to be shot down by a distracted student with pure lightning, knocking her unconscious.As soon as she wakes up, she is thrown into a world of godly incarnates, backstabbing enemies and lost myths coming back to life.Previously featured in: WattpadFantasyPH, lowfantasy, WattpadESL, WattGreek, SpeculativeFiction, magic, YAFantasy, generalfiction, Paranormal, Fantasy, WattpadUrbanFantasy, mythandlegend, StoriesUndiscovered, TheWarriorGoddessCover by @DaneAndKnight…

[AMBYS 2024 FANTASY FAVORITE] Badriya As-Sahra is sick of piling up camel dung and picking people's pockets for a living. Her world discriminates against women and orphans, and it is only her damned luck that she happens to be both. She yearns for more but can't do anything else unless she wants to rot in the streets. Ayaz Shahrayar balances two lives: one of defiance, where he aids his people suffering from the Sultan's rule, and one of obedience, where he plays the role of a naive prince and heir in public. But his thirst for vengeance drives him more reckless by the day, and he knows that he might do something that could threaten his inheritance and his life. When the Sultan of Zecaj, desperate for more wealth to start a war, declares a country-wide hunt for a powerful artifact lost in legends called the Jewel of Opulence, Badriya jumps at the chance for the promise of reward. When the Sultan threatens Ayaz of losing the very thing he is meant to have, he has no choice but to join the hunt. As Badriya and Ayaz cross paths on their quest, they must learn to work together to find the Jewel and uncover the truth of its power. Only that it proves to be more difficult when the threat of betrayal and the spark of attraction try to distract them from their opposing goals.| 90,000 - 100,000 words.

[TJZ'S EXPANDED VERSION IS NOW AVAILABLE IN MY PROFILE!] Believed to be created by the founder of Zecaj, the Jewel of Opulence is said to curse whoever possesses it with endless riches beyond their wildest dreams. Desperate to get his hands on more fortune to aid a brewing war, Sultan Shahrayar, the kingdom's cunning ruler, calls his people far and wide with a declaration: the one who presents him with the mythical artifact shall be rewarded with a tower of gold.* * *In the lowly province of Klalasha, Badriya bint As-Sahra is sick of piling up camel dung and picking people's pockets for a living. But she can't do anything else unless she wants to rot in the streets and die. When she hears the sultan's decree, she jumps at the chance to become rich in the easiest way possible. And perhaps get a title for herself to prove that women are more than just slaves and child-bearers. But, as Badriya would learn the hard way, searching for an object that may not exist is proving harder than it should be. With other, more resourceful competition and a handsome stranger distracting her, she will have to use her wits and skills to achieve her goal or risk losing something even greater than herself.--Featured in @retold, @WattpadFantasyPH, @StoriesUndiscovered, @Fantasy, @antiheroesgalore, @dangerouslove, @classicauthors, @WattpadExplorer, @WattpadAsianFantasy, @WattpadESL, @Alt-U and @mythandlegendBook graphics by the amazing @Dayisdemigod and @Lueur_laVespine!| 30,000 - 35,000 words.

When a disillusioned actress finds out her vampire manager has disappeared, she grudgingly tasks herself to find out her whereabouts, ultimately uncovering a deep conspiracy in the process.* * *Despite finally getting the fame and fortune she so rightfully deserves, Lucianne Rivera can't catch a break. Apparently, signing her life away to a blood contract with an ancient vampire can make a person do things she shouldn't---including, but not limited to, kidnapping people to feed her master. Since then, she's been slaving in her work as a movie star under Vanessa Helsing, her vampire manager and the founder of the first foreigner-led indie film production company in Manila. When, one night, Lucy got seemingly ditched by Vanessa for their monthly 'meetups' (aka feeding day), she feels something has gone wrong. Vanessa never, ever comes late, much less flake on anything. Plus, they were supposed to meet right after the red carpet of their latest blockbuster film.A conspiracy and her buried past soon come to play as Lucy searches for answers. You'd think having a vampire for a boss was strange enough, but the streets of Manila hold stranger secrets than they let on, and this time, she might not come out of it alive.* * *Based on ONC 2025 prompt #9.
