To the unknowing eye, the exotic young woman making her way through the English countryside is just another poor girl, hungry and looking for work. But Elena Del Fuego is much more than that. She is the youngest daughter of the King of Spain and she is running from an arranged marriage he forced upon her. Elena learned of the betrothal when she was ten years old, and found out that it was to happen on her eighteenth birthday to a Portuguese Prince twenty years her senior. She had eight years to plan her perfect escape. Her escape takes her to Derbyshire where she finds work as a housemaid at a grand estate called Ascot. While Elena had always planned to keep her head down, she cannot help but notice the handsome heir to the dukedom, David Wilde. But life is not like a fairy tale. The handsome heir cannot marry the maid and turn her into a princess, for Elena is already that. She is a princess with two nations chasing her, two nations determined to keep Elena and David apart and to take Elena home.

AnnaMaria Romanoff grows up with an adoptive family, thinking that her biological parents were working class citizens of the country of Chirnova, who died tragically in a car crash when she was just a year old. It's her senior year in high school now, and in the two weeks before her 18th birthday her life will change forever. She thought it would be tough getting through her senior year without a boyfriend. Now, she'll find out how hard it is to survive the year with a fiance... who happens to be the Crown Prince of Vladesvya. Not to mention, she's actually a Crown Princess herself, who has been engaged to the Crown Prince since she was a baby. Is this the Prince that Anna has been dreaming about since she was a little girl? Is this her fairytale or her worst nightmare? Either way, before she can go back to her home safely and claim her throne she will have to face major obstacles. First on the list are the people that tried to murder her as a baby. Then, hopefully, she can make it to her wedding day without being shot and killed first. In this royally ridiculous story of arranged marriages, assassinations and protesting countries... controversy is an understatement. Anna, a small town girl with no ambitions aside from becoming a doctor, will have to face her past and come to terms with her future. Follow her on her journey from being normal to suddenly being a princess. NickiCatherine © 2012

Mythology can refer either to the collected myths of a group of people-their body of stories which they tell to explain nature, history, and customs[1]-or to the study of such myths.[2] As a collection of such stories, mythology is an important feature of every culture. Various origins for myths have been proposed, ranging from personification of natural phenomena to truthful or hyperbolic accounts of historical events, to explanations of existing ritual. Although the term is complicated by its implicit condescension, mythologizing is not just an ancient or primitive practice, as shown by contemporary mythopoeia such as urban legends and the expansive fictional mythoi created by fantasy novels and Japanese manga. A culture's collective mythology helps convey belonging, shared and religious experience, behavioral models, and moral and practical lessons.
