An aspiring eighteen-year-old author realizes she is a character in an unwritten horror novel and must use her storytelling knowledge to survive.

                                                              *****

Although her search is for the meaning of life and beyond, she discovers an odd story outline in her notebook detailing and predicting the night's unsettling and bizarre happenings. Realizing they are characters in an unwritten horror novel, she must rely on the notebook and her storytelling abilities to not only gain control of her life but somehow steer the narrative toward a happily ever after.

A Fairy's Tale by DianaTheThird

Seventeen-year-old Daisy Rios is the heiress to the throne of The Mystic Kingdom but due to her Earthling origins, she must prove that she is worthy to become the current Queen's successor. For that very reason, a test is set in place to prove that she's a true fairy. Assigned to help a chosen candidate find their true happiness, to succeed, Daisy must not break the following rules: - Don't tell anyone she's a fairy; - Don't fall in love. For years she has fought to be accepted by the mystic people and this test won't destroy her plans to become a queen. On paper, the test looks simple, but when her chosen candidate turns out to be a wealthy family with seven siblings, Daisy isn't sure she can help them without falling for their charm. Being a queen is her greatest dream, but she never thought the path toward that dream would be more challenging than she ever imagined. An ONC '24 entry based on prompts 24 and 36.

Bound to a magical bangle and a demon, sea drifter Ninnette has only three days to break the curse--or die trying. ---------- Ninnette is a sea drifter with the power to command water, dredging shipwrecks and salvaging lost treasure. But when she braves a wreck no one else dares to dive, she finds no gold, no jewels--only a strange clockwork bangle. The moment she wears it, the artifact latches onto her wrist, binding her to an ancient curse, and to Kazi, the demon who leaves destruction wherever he goes. Kazi is infuriating and dangerous. He refuses to help her break the curse. Worse, a secret organization is hunting them, believing the bangle to be a map to something far greater than treasure. But the true danger isn't the organization. It isn't Kazi. It's the curse. The moment Ninnette puts on the bangle, a countdown begins. If she doesn't break the curse in three days, she will die like every wearer before her. ---------- Romantasy High Fantasy Fantasy Adventure SciFi Steampunk Fantasci Young Adult

One fateful day, the entire Royal Family of the Kingdom of Aeriana was killed in a horrifying attack-all except for one girl. Princess Driana Stasia Antonov: heir to the kingdom and now the last hope of her dying uncle, King Demitri. Seventeen years later, Iris Daniels is a gifted young painter with no memory of her past, who suddenly finds herself running for her life with undercover government agent Wylan Garrick. Garrick is a man with a singular goal: find the missing princess before the kingdom's enemies do. And as women who look like Iris begin turning up murdered, Garrick begins to suspect that the woman in his care is more than who she appears to be. Now, Iris must trust Garrick with her life and wrestle with her growing attraction to him, as they both attempt to bring down the very secret society that killed her family. Because if she can't remember her past in time, it will catch up with her in ways she can't see coming-and might never walk away from.

Given (Wattpad Books Edition) by Nandi_taylor

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. Bound by fate. Divided by duty. Yenni has never been this far from home. With only her wits, her strength, and her sacred runelore, the fierce Yirba warrior princess is alone in the Empire of Cresh. It's a land filled with strange magics and even stranger people-all of whom mistrust anyone who's different. But Yenni will prove herself, and find the cure for her father's wasting illness. She will not fail. No one warned her about the dragons. Especially not about him. Yet there is something powerful and compelling about the violet-black dragon known as Weysh. In human form he's muscular, beautiful-and completely infuriating. What kind of arrogant creature claims a stranger as his Given; as his destined mate? Yenni is no man's-or dragon's-plaything. But other magics must be at work here, because Weysh might just be her best hope at finding the answers she seeks. Only now Yenni can't tell if she's fighting an attraction to a dragon . . . or fighting fate itself.
