"A House of Pomegranates" is a collection of fairy tales. "The Young King" tells the story of the illegitimate shepherd son of the recently dead king's daughter of an unnamed country. Being his only heir, he is brought to the palace to await his accession. "The Birthday of the Infanta" is about a hunchbacked dwarf, found in the woods by courtiers of the King of Spain. The hunchback's father sells him to the palace for the amusement of the king's daughter, the Infanta, on her twelfth birthday. In "The Fisherman and his Soul," a young Fisherman finds a Mermaid and wants nothing more than to marry her, but he cannot, for one cannot live underwater if one has a soul. "The Star-Child" is the story of an infant boy found abandoned in the woods by a poor woodcutter, who pities him and takes him in. He grows up to be exceedingly beautiful, but vain, cruel, and arrogant, believing himself to be the divine child of the stars. Cover done by @zonaamind

"I hope you realize you made the worst f**king decision of your life." She could feel his cold icy blue eyes piercing through her soul. "I didn't ask for this..." tears threatened to fall from her eyes, her lips quivering in fear. His grip on both her wrists become tighter as he slams them hard against the wall, trapping her petite body in-between the wall and his body, "You'll never have a place in my life, let alone my heart, do you understand?" She winces from the pain from her wrists. He slams her arms against the wall again. He leans in close enough to the point where their lips are only inches apart, "I said, do you f**king understand, foolish girl?" His voice rises as he clenches his jaw in an impatient manner. She nods in hopes that he'll let go. And just like that, he lets go of her as she falls to the floor in utter defeat. What have I done... she asks herself. **Full Summary Inside** Cover by: Me, Myself, and I!

«La prima cosa che ho sentito su di te è stata che nessuna ragazza è in grado di resisterti» dissi e aspettai di vedere la sua reazione. «La seduzione è una mia dote naturale» si vantò. «Sinceramente non capisco come facciano a cascarci» feci spallucce, incrociando le braccia al petto. «Dovresti provare per crederci» mi prese per i fianchi e mi avvicinò, a quel punto gli posai le mani sul petto e alzai gli occhi al cielo. Idiota. «Ah si? Peccato che io non ne senta il bisogno» mi avvicinai al suo viso e parlai lentamente, provocandolo, per poi allontanarmi nettamente. «Smetti di cambiare le mie regole bimba, mi fa impazzire» ******* Freya è una ragazza fuori da qualsiasi stereotipo, uno spirito libero, indipendente, sicura di sé e perfettamente razionale, testarda e orgogliosa. Ama essere il capo di se stessa e non dipendere da nessuno, considera l'amore una distrazione e offuscamento della ragione. Non ha bisogno di un uomo, specialmente di uno che la comandi a bacchetta e le dica cosa fare. Dylan invece è il tipico ragazzo pericoloso e sexy da morire: sorriso rilassante, sembra che sussurri in modo sexy quando parla, in modo da coinvolgerti. Ottiene ciò che vuole dalle persone col suo fascino. Abituato a non essere mai contraddetto, ad essere il capo di tutti e di tutto, irascibile, protettivo, possessivo e testardo. Ognuno fossilizzato nel proprio essere, si incontrano. Due personalità così forti, tenaci e incredibilmente simili. Non fanno altro che mentirsi a vicenda, fino a che i loro sospetti non diventano così forti da far venire a galla la verità. Ormai, però, potrebbe essere troppo tardi.
