The Unicorn's Forest

While the issue about my writing ability has been resolved, it took longer than I'd have liked and now I need to extend the hiatus period on this book as I reread everything I've written on this book earlier than I'd planned. I will at least be proofreading the chapters and will update them as I work on it. In addition, I'll see if there's something I can do about the first 13 chapters on making them shorter without having to rework all later chapters. Thank you for your patience on this matter. Vol 1: The Unicorn's Forest Charlie Rivers is a 14-year old girl who is trying to get through high school without being noticed when she finds herself hearing a voice asking for help when she is only one of two who can hear it. She agrees, despite the fact the other person is someone she doesn't like. When she meets the 'voice' that needed help, she learns that it's a unicorn, yet she's the only one who seems to be able to see the horn. Everyone else thinks it's a horse. Charlie also learns that by having agreed to help the unicorn, she'd gotten herself involved with a group of friends, including the other person who can hear the unicorn, that she hadn’t been really involved with before. Not only is it changing her normal schedule drastically, given she hadn’t hung out with anyone before, but even her personal space seems under attack at times. As she continues to help the unicorn, she funds that going back to how she was isn’t as attractive as it had once been, before she was helping the unicorn but also she wonders if she really would want to. *Minor spoiler in the synopsis for vol. 2 if you haven't read vol. 1* Vol 2: Tip of Other Worlds Charlie and her friends begin traveling to other worlds in search of the world that the griffin canyon connects to. While they do that, Charlie finds herself torn with wanting to grow her relationship with Alex and beginning the expedition through different worlds. Then as the expedition begins, she finds more than she ever expected to find on other worlds, but ever in the back of her mind is the dream she had in which Beth, her best friend, dies in. A dream she's determined to keep from happening, even if she has to sacrifice the friendship that's come to mean so much to her. *Minor spoilers in vol. 3 synopsis* Vol. 3: Acclimating to a New World Charlie leaves her friends and is taken by The Lost. Her friends continue on and encounter a family who has the same disease they had just recovered from. While helping them, they learn about how this world is that of a matriarchal society and has been since ancient times. What that means they can't say, only that it's going to be awkward. Charlie comes to after a while, feeling like her brain had been I'm a fog and that she had been in a waking dream, only to find she's naked and in a kind of cage where she learns she's been taken as a slave. While she has no idea how this happened, she's determined to find a chance to successfully get out of that situation. Mature content will be either through implications or will only extend to the edge of it. The cover art was ai generated.

birthright: rise of the bastard

In a world where Essence—a primordial mystical energy—is the source of all magic and martial power, the Empire reigns unchallenged over the continent. Its supremacy rests on relentless military discipline and an imperial bloodline upheld by the Dominions. According to an immutable tradition, each of the four great dukes offers a bride to the Emperor. From these unions are born the legitimate heirs to the throne, raised to rule, to command, and to perpetuate imperial order. But at the heart of this dynasty lies an anomaly. The Emperor’s bastard son was born of a woman without rank or name. Rejected at birth, he is considered a stain upon the imperial bloodline. To the legitimate heirs, he is not merely an insult—he is a threat. Hunted, scorned, condemned to the shadows, he grows up in hostility and solitude… until the day his destiny shifts. The opening of the Imperial Magical Academy—an institution where the future masters of Essence and the rulers of the Empire are forged—forces him into the arena. There, he must confront not only his half-brothers, but also a system entirely designed to crush him. At the Academy, every trial is a symbolic execution: a single failure means disgrace, exile… or death. Caught in a web of political conspiracies, fratricidal rivalries, and ancient secrets left behind by a long-forgotten primordial force, he discovers that his rage, his cunning, and the power slumbering within him could shake the very foundations of the Empire. His rise will not merely be a struggle for the throne. It will be a war for survival. "english is not my first language please be gentel"
