FEATURED BY @Retold A fight for a kingdom that belongs to neither. Aneira Guinevere was the fairest in the land - with her flowing dark tresses reminiscent of the midnight sky, and her delicate skin as pure as snow. Though the weight of her past left scars upon her back, her eyes blazed with the unquenchable flame of a future for a country that was never rightfully hers. ☣ Zara Pyrecrest, an enchantress of exquisite allure and revered as a gifted healer, found herself scorned by the townsfolk. Yet, destiny had intricately woven her path with Aneira's, destined to ascend to the royal lineage as Queen and Princess. ☣ With power often comes jealousy and a thirst for conquest. The healer transformed into a predator, turning the slave into the master. Though neither had rightful claim to the kingdom, the urge to rule became the cause of war. A war waged between a witch and a slave. Between a mother and her daughter. The gods would render their judgment on the battlefield, where the ultimate ruler would be determined - the ruler fairest in the land. ☣ HIGHEST RANKINGS! #34 in High Fantasy #2 in Grimm Brothers #2 in Retold #25 in YA Fantasy #19 in lost princess #80 in realistic #28 in Epic Fantasy

[COMPLETE] Katherine Williamson Peters wasn't born a beaten coward. When she was a girl she was wild and free and brave. She was Blue Angel, fierce protector of the imaginary innocent and robber of make-believe trains. She climbed trees and disobeyed her father and she cavorted with demons. At least that's what the church folk said-- Gabriel Townsend's momma was a concubine for Satan himself, and her son was the devil's seed. Not that it mattered much to Katherine, back when she was young and reckless. Gabe was just her partner in crime, her best friend in the whole world. She was Blue Angel and he was Devil Dog, slayer of bad guys and wielder of six-shooter finger guns. But life had other plans for Katherine than the rebellion and joy she favored as a girl. She couldn't say exactly how it happened that she lost her courage, but she woke up one day and found herself conquered. Battered and alone, crushed beneath the heel of her husband, her obligations, and the weight of the town's judgment. A brave woman would have fought. She'd have protected herself and brought goodness and strength back to the name of God-- a name her husband's preachings had tarnished. Katherine wasn't brave. She was a coward, and like a coward she turned her back on God and she fled... ...right into the arms of the devil.

In A THRONE FOR SISTERS (Book one), Sophia, 17, and her younger sister Kate, 15, are desperate to leave their horrific orphanage.

Seulgi has issues...big issues. Sent to capture a castle from the Sheng Rebellion forces, he finds himself captured in the hands of a woman...great. But if being captured wasn't enough, he soon discovers that the legends and rumors of the castle are far more sinister and real than anyone could ever imagine. How could his situation be worse than it is now? Note: None of the characters, places, or events in this story are real; they are all set in a world I created. Some may share names and similarities with real life people/figures and some are inspired by such; but they are not the same. This is technically a side story to a plot I am writing alongside a larger plot. Many of the characters have chemistry with each other that is developed already here but is not explained thoroughly here. I will upload the larger plot...at some point. Apologies!
