***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" 

"You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me."  So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first.

Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship.  The number of people allowed to know he exists is few.  He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. 

Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners.  She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him.

She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see.  A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first.
 
A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story.  It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking.  Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. 

This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel.

Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!All Rights Reserved

Unite (sequel to Team) Big Four + reader + Hazelia, my fictional twin by xurxmoon

Jack, Hazelia, Merida, Rapunzel and Hiccup thought their lives were over, like, for real, but their hopes of seeing each other never faded. Princess Y/N Hearts prayed hard everyday for her friends to come back to the fantasy realm... and when her hope was about to be washed away, a miracle thing happened! She discovered that her friends can come back. But that is... for another thirteen years. So she has to wait, but can she, like, quicken up the time so they can be back earlier? That's for you to know. While the remaining five were leading their lives as normal teenagers. Go to school, eat, sleep... all that boring stuff. They tried hoping for them to be magically transported back to the Fantasy Realm, but of course, it's a fail. (Though Jack discovered that Mr. Tom was not what he said he was). Then all of a sudden, the five each received a letter that told them they're invited to enroll in the Boarding School of Mollyland. And weird thing is... how did the school knew them? But since curiosity got the better of them, they went to the school. Sounds suspicious to me if some school randomly invited me but well, we're talking about five legendary teens here. They walked around the school WITHOUT recognizing each other. But then after a few weeks there, they finally get to see each other again. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a problem with Merida and Rapunzel and only by going to the Fantasy Realm will help the two girls. So, they planned to get back to the place where they all belong. And finally, with Y/N's much needed help, the five get to contact her. But things were also getting pretty... stressful in the Fantasy Realm. But most of all could they reunite and solve Merida's and Rapunzel's problems? And also solve the HUGE problem in the Fantasy Realm? Only one way to find out... ______________ Comments (or was it praise?) for Team, the first book: " This is sooo good! I love it!" ~ @CR_Moon " OMG! THIS WAS AMAZING" ~ @LividEnder

A Thorny Tale by Kitsuneume

Foreword: A plant can thrive or a plant can die with or without attention. Whether it's lovingly nurtured or butchered makes no difference really but sometimes they can come back stronger than ever. It's a relationship where we need each other more than we think about really and we take them all for granted like we do each other. One seed can sow doubt or it can sow hope. Wonder what would happen to the world if such a seed existed inside a person and it finally bloomed? Synopsis: Briar was made a slave and an orphan on the same day she was born. She serves at the castle she was born in, the court of winter. Everyone can command her to do tasks and she has no freedom to leave. Those at the top of this world are the ruling Fae, next are ruling humans, next Fae, free humans, protected slaves and then the banished ones. At least as a slave she has a chance at earning her freedom from a ruling Fae to pardon her. She is also something more which is discovered as she grows up but she must keep it hidden to protect herself. As she masters her skills, she, along with her friends, are given the opportunity to leave and earn her freedom. It's the first step in finding herself and her answers and perhaps it could change her life in ways she couldn't imagine when she was taking everyone's orders in the kitchen. But first she must rescue a prince from a dungeon... (Small warning) Contains suggestions of non consensual sexual relationships of a business kind but no graphic detail. This is a story about a main female character in a reverse harem situation as well. (Book cover made from Book Covers app)

How To Rule ✅COMPLETE by Lukinglass

When Rin imagined meeting her mate she did not expect their first meeting to be of him wounded and kneeling in her father's throne room slowly dying. What was more shocking was how she healed him without a second thought because she couldn't bear his pain and even going as far as kissing him slightly forgetting everyone in the room including her father who did not look in anyway pleased. She is torn between two sides. The right one blurred in-between them both. Each holding a consequence she just might not be ready to face. Her father who is grooming her to be exactly like him, a merciless tyrant. Or Her mate who wants her to forsake all she's ever known and in doing so choose him and his people, the rebels. *** 'Rin I care about you. The moment you let them conquer your mind from something as weak as your heart you have already lost. They will use that spymaster to dethrone me and once they do that they will disgard you for your blood relation to me. Understand. I have to protect you Rin even if it hurts you. You're my little girl.' *** Written for the open novella contest 2021. Longlisted for the open novella contest 2021.

The Bird Witch (Dark Fairy Tale Queens - Book 5) by AnitaValle

PLEASE READ FIRST SO YOU DON'T SEE SPOILERS!!! This is a continuation of the Dark Fairy Tale Queens book series. Picking up after the events of 'Bad Beauty', the fairytale characters - Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Beauty - must contend with the new threat of the Bird Witch. Based on the obscure fairytale 'Jorinda and Jorindel', this serial delves deeper into old characters, while bringing in some new ones. Naturally this contains spoilers from the book series. To start from the beginning, look up Sinful Cinderella on Wattpad. This story is being told in serialized format. What this means is that instead of chapters, I will be posting EPISODES, kind of like a TV show. Each episode will be its own self-contained story, but there will still be a forward-moving plot that connects them. Serial episodes typically run longer than book chapters - covering about 10-15 pages if it were printed. Each episode will be told from the viewpoint of one character, and that will rotate. So we'll have episodes about many characters beyond the original four. Which characters? Wait and see! Please "follow" me on Wattpad so you can part of my test audience as new episodes come out. Episodes will be posted here before published on Amazon. Please give me feedback and comments (you are all usually awesome at this!) so I can see how you are liking the serial and what you are hoping for. All the best! -Anita Valle

DARKLIGHT by MajaDB

Siderion is mere minutes away from becoming a member of the Order and earning his first rank stripe when Serkha City is attacked and his life is changed forever. Thrown away from everything he holds dear, he must scramble for answers as his moral ground shifts under his feet. In a world full of mages and monsters, nothing is safe. - - - - - - - - There were lots of other mages gathered in the plaza, addressing the arkaetres they had ridden with curt nods or short dialogue. The doors to the building were big enough for even the largest dragon to enter, but still only a small imperfection in the huge structure. I knew the door was the size of a dragon because I could see one to compare it to, flying above the dome. Then I realized that the dragon was black. "Dad? Look up there." He looked up and cocked his head in confusion. "I've never seen anything like that before." The beast was quite high in the sky and didn't look particularly threatening, but it still spooked me to see an arkaetre that wasn't white. After watching the shadowy dragon for a few more moments, my dad said slowly, "It seems like they have no rider. We should probably tell the Council about this." I nodded and followed him inside the dome. "But what about the opening ceremony?" I asked nervously, looking down at my watch. "We've got some time." - - - - - - - - Remember to comment and vote for the chapters you enjoy! Any and all feedback is appreciated.

He did not move from the spot where he stood. He did not hear Jace calling out to him. He did not notice the key slip from his fingers, making a little clang on the cobblestone floor. The only thing that crossed his mind were the words that he whispered out loud. "You're alive." _____________________________________________________________ Rayna Imperium was about to celebrate her tenth birthday, and she couldn't have been more excited. There was to be a big celebration in her honor, everyone from around the kingdom was to be there, near and far, including her best friend Theo Serpentine. What was most important to her though was that she would finally come into her powers as a witch, or Pytho as some called them. But on the eve of her birthday, tragedy struck when the former King of Somnium, Malum Serpentine, takes out the King of Terra. Through a course of events, Queen Ella, was taken prisoner when accused of the murder. Her Uncle Kalevi, Captain of the royal guard, the Bellator's, must hide Rayna away, keeping her identity a secret when the kingdom thinks the princess died along with the king.

Each step of the way, Rayna learns about who she is and finds out secrets that happened long before her. Along the way, she runs into old friends and meets some new as well as enemies that she cannot see. As her eighteenth birthday draws near, she waits for when she can take back the throne, but as she has come to learn first-hand, nothing ever goes as planned. ***Completed on Wattpad; May 8, 2020*** ***Published on Wattpad: January 21, 2020*** ***Completed: December 26, 2019*** ***Created: February 28, 2019***

Shattered Pieces (Wattys 2024) by Penny987

Sapphire always felt like she was missing a big part of her life not knowing anything about her birth father. Tragedy strikes and her whole world comes crashing down around her. What she thought she knew is turned upside down, shattering her into a million pieces. Can she rebuild her life now that the truth has been revealed? Sapphire's 18th birthday is approaching fast, and she can't wait to meet her wolf for the first time and hopefully meet her mate. But nobody could foresee the events that transpire when she finally does. I have put trigger warnings at the beginning of the chapter, that have violence and smut. You can skip those chapters and carry on to the next one. Shattered Pieces will be updated once a week. This story is nearly complete on my computer. ############################################################################### This is the first story that I have ever written. I look forward to your comments, but please be kind. It is not perfect. All negative comments will be deleted. The idea of this story came to me when New Zealand went into Lockdown due to Cover 19. While the rest of the country had to stay at home, the few of us who were classified as essential workers kept the country running. This story helped me cope with the added stress of all the restrictions in place. Enjoy, and please don't forget to vote and leave comments. This story is completely my idea, so NO copying it onto any other platform. A big shout out to my friend, who has been with me the whole way and has encouraged me to carry on with the story when I nearly gave up on it. @DrWhoEmily No 1 # Worrior
