|7X WATTPAD FEATURED| In the land of Fern Kingdom, a young girl must use her rare power of infrared against a shapeshifter. What will happen when she meets the handsome Axis Nethoraba and learns a secret that no other villager knows?... more>>

***

Fifteen-year-old Evangeline Estiemiéres has a gift. She is the only person in Fern Kingdom who has flames, literally, in her hair. Because of her flames, King Erasmus lends her a special place on the hunting party with three other soldiers.

A mischievous shapeshifter is wandering around Eva's village. Erasmus claims that whoever can bring back his head will win a life-time supply of gold coins. After accidentally burning down her bakery and a tavern, Eva is desperate to regain her people's trust, including her mother's. In order to do so, she must train under the watchful eyes of the oh so handsome Axis Nethoraba, a young man who wields a secret himself, one that the kingdom is unaware of. She also has to find her place in her all male-dominant society.

Eva has to make a choice: to destroy the shapeshifter or Axis, if she has any hope of succeeding. What will she, Evangeline's Flame, choose?

A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war.... more>>

The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something.

I) Touch O' Luck is the prologue (or opening act) to the Old Realms series of novels
(Hint O' Magic,
Lure O' War,
Wings O' Fate volumes 1-3)

II) All tags are relevant, but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, lust, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

“Mox failed to keep herself under control; her breathing was getting erratic as she was torn between trying to keep her eyes on Eddie while also fighting to push and fight her way past the monsters that were still trying to subdue her. Another hard blow came from behind, and Mox staggered, tears welling up in her eyes as she came to the realization that her last resort had become unavoidable. Mortal means had failed her. Magic would now be required.”... more>>

Following the events of the story, "Enchantyon: Knight of the Holy Faun", both Lalauri Imafenduwell and Keridwen of Khar Vell began making their way back through the Greater Wilderness to the realm that Lalauri called home: the Free Border Dominion known as, Aureate. The Gilded State.... more>>

Several hundred lifetimes ago, there was a phrase that history would later on quote Lalauri as having said several dozen times throughout Enchantyon’s history. Even in the modern era of the Arcane Age, she found herself saying it in the aftermath of her latest adventure:

“Give me a monster, and I will hack it to pieces. Show me villainy, and I will serve it with righteous annihilation.”

But instead, the Holy Faun saw fit to give her a child.

Upon their arrival in Aureate, Lalauri and Keridwen will have to face the threats and challenges that had been looming in the background while Lalauri was away. Threats that were only just barely fended off by the staff of Lalauri’s home, Imafenduwell Hall.

All the while, the warrior elf maiden and the lonely human orphan must find a way to settle in together, and in doing so are forced to come to grips with their new reality of guardian and child.
