Ever since her seventeenth birthday, Lyra has been haunted by the same nightmare. A dark forest. A howl that shatters the silence. And a wolf that relentlessly hunts her, as if trying to uncover something hidden deep within her. When the nightmare begins to affect her waking life, Lyra finally discovers the truth Martha and David have kept from her for years. She is not an ordinary human. She is a werewolf, the daughter of an Alpha couple who mysteriously disappeared. Armed with only a few clues about her origins, Lyra leaves the human world behind to search for her biological parents. But her journey takes a terrifying turn when she encounters Kael, an Alpha heir who saves her from a wolf attack near the border. Kael offers her protection and promises to help her find her family. With no other choice, Lyra accepts his offer, unaware that she has just stepped into the territory of a family hiding dark secrets about her past. Because Kael's parents are the sworn enemies of her biological parents. And when Lyra finally discovers that her family was slaughtered by the very people she once trusted, only one thing consumes her mind: revenge. But what happens when the man who begins to capture her heart turns out to be the son of her family's murderer? Caught between buried secrets, a ruthless struggle for power, and a war between packs that threatens to destroy everything, Lyra must choose between a love she never intended to pursue and a thirst for vengeance that has become her life's purpose. Can she love the son of her enemy without betraying her own blood? Or will their love become the spark that brings two powerful families to ruin?

He was not a mafia leader, and he did not rule the dark clans like the others.

But what happens when he marries a wealthy Russian princess who carries art in one hand and beauty in the other? And what will change when he learns that she may not be what she seems... that she was, in fact, forged in the darkness? "Because she was darkness, she chose to be a lover in the dark." Will the world of chaos be overturned? And will his heart, which had long ago retired from its duties, finally rebel?

Ferry only wanted one thing: a quiet life and an affordable lease. Instead, he ended up sharing an apartment with Rin — a clever, fast-paced fox-hybrid who insists she’s only there until graduation. Sparks fly, arguments escalate, and somehow “roommates” turns into “partners.” But normal doesn’t last long. One night changes everything, pulling them into criminal lairs, shadowy rivals, and the discovery of a demonic artifact with power no one should control. What started as playful bickering soon becomes a fight to hold on to each other — and to survive. Now, love, comedy, and everyday mistakes collide with world-ending stakes — and Ferry has to decide how far he’s willing to go to protect the girl who changed everything. A semi-dystopian rom-com about sarcasm, romance, and the danger of being in love when feelings can save — or doom — the world.

With her best friend Zainab and her closest friend Diego by her side, what begins as a simple list quickly turns into a summer none of them could have imagined. Between laughter, unexpected adventures, friendship, family, travel, first love, and secrets Evie isn't ready to share, every item on the list brings her closer to the people she loves—and to discovering what it truly means to live. But as the summer moves forward, Evie begins to realize that some memories are more precious than others, and some feelings are harder to keep hidden. One last summer. One unforgettable bucket list. And a story about friendship, love, courage, and making every moment count.

Shani is a young princess of Gildan, a kingdom where everyone is the same. Pale skin. Pale eyes. Pale hair. Everyone but her. Born from a union her kingdom believes should never have happened, Shani wears a crystal bangle that erases everything she is: her brown skin, her pointed ears, even her glow. All so the people around her can be comfortable. She doesn't mind. As long as everyone is happy, it is worth it. But the palace is not as safe as she believes. And the people she loves are not always who she thinks they are. As the world she knows begins to crack at the edges, Shani must decide who she is beyond the bracelet, and whether the love she has fought so hard to keep was ever really hers to begin with. Because sometimes the ones who say they love you are the ones holding the cage door shut.

I thought the strip was the safest place in the world. Fourteen metres of rubber, two people, one blade each, and rules older than the country. Then I won a bout I was not supposed to be in, in a basement I was not supposed to find, against a boy in a white jacket who bled black onto the floor and then apologized to me for it. Now there is a mark on the inside of my wrist that was not there in September. Now, when I score on Ilan Brassard, I see things. A harbour I have never visited. A brother I never had. A woman screaming his name in a language that has been dead for two hundred years. Fourteen touches to go. The houses tell me this is an honour. They tell me the bond will make me rich, protected, permanent. They tell me my mother's illness is nothing a house physician cannot fix, and they are not lying. They just forgot to mention what happens to Ilan at fifteen. He did not forget. He knew on the first night. That is why he never once tried to win.

Rin is a girl with no memories, no wand, and no understanding of the world around her. Found wandering alone, she’s taken in by a high-ranking Enforcer and placed on a path she never chose — one caught between the politics of magical elites, the scars of a forgotten war, and the slow, painful process of becoming someone real. As others fight for power, Rin fights to understand what it means to be a child… and whether she even gets to be one.

Following clues left behind by those who came before them, they uncover hidden stations, forgotten secrets, and enemies willing to destroy anyone who gets in their way. With one Astral Key already in the hands of those searching for them, Jason must find the others before the people behind the hunt do. The deeper he investigates, the more he realizes that the truth behind the Astral Keys may be more dangerous than the power they contain.

Anaya never believed in marriage. To escape every proposal, she created a simple game—three impossible wishes, one café, and a list of conditions no man had ever accepted. Until Reyansh. Instead of walking away, he challenged every rule she had built around herself, forcing her into a marriage neither of them could have imagined. What begins as a clash of two stubborn strangers slowly turns into something far more complicated, where trust is fragile, emotions are dangerous, and every answer only seems to raise more questions. But not every story begins where it appears to. Some truths are buried beneath silence. Some promises were made long before they ever met. And sometimes, the greatest betrayal isn't the one you see coming—it's the one that has been waiting from the very beginning.

Nicolau Britton, reborn as a baby while retaining his memories, finally obtains what he never had on Earth—an older brother who would risk his life to protect him, a mother who adores him, and a life worth living again. But this new family is built upon a secret implanted at the time of his birth by his missing father. And when that father returns to reclaim it, there is no salvation in “innocence.” Inspired by Mushoku Tensei (I added Turning Points), this is a story about family, brutal loss, and survival. I've created a very unique dark fantasy setting inspired by medieval Portugal.

About Young Adult

Young Adult is fiction written for — and about — the years when everything is happening for the first time. The protagonist is usually a teenager standing at the edge of adulthood, and the stories run on the emotional voltage of that moment: the first love, the first real betrayal, the first time the world asks who you actually are. YA spans every setting — dystopia, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi — but the through-line is a coming-of-age heart.

The genre minted modern publishing's biggest crossover hits — The Hunger Games, Divergent, Six of Crows, The Fault in Our Stars — and on serial platforms like Wattpad it's one of the largest reader communities anywhere, skewing young, loyal, and voracious. These readers binge, they comment, and they follow authors across whole series.

IlorisNovel hosts YA the way a serial generation wants to read it: ad-free, privacy-first with no trackers, audio on every chapter, and authors keep 92% of the coins’ redemption value. If you've built a following on Wattpad, bring it here and keep what you earn.
