Annalise has to escape, and the only way to do that in this situation is to get in a random man and woman's car at a rest stop in rural Pennsylvania and tell them to step on it. They're going across county? Yes! Anything to get away from HIM. The farther the better. Her arms, legs and head are still aching, aching from their last fight. She can hide the inner pain, though, not like the cigarette burn scars on her upper arms. Tyler would like to help Annalise out. The look of shear fear and desperation in her incredible green eyes tugs at his heart. He and his girlfriend Serena could help this poor girl get away from what she says is an abusive boyfriend, but what if he follows them? She refuses the police's help since that could result in a trail and a further beating if her boyfriend catches her. Well, Tyler will just have to protect Annalise with all he's got, putting his past security detail skills to good use after five years. And Tyler will try not to fall in love with this runaway beauty with a good heart and desire to marry and have a family, something that Serena doesn't want. They had been in a relationship since he was fired from his last job, and the relationship became stagnant. This trip is to help them be closer. Well, that changed moment Annalise got into their car.

Centuries ago, humanity's greed shattered the balance of the world. Betrayed and slaughtered, the elves vanished into legend, their sacred tree, Elaureth, cursing the royal bloodline and dooming mankind to fear and mistrust. Magic faded, and with it, the world's last remnants of peace. Now, in the quiet village of Mosswick, young Eleanor stumbles upon a mysterious blue gem buried deep within a cave. Its beauty is mesmerizing, but its discovery comes at a devastating cost-an eerie curse befalls her village, trapping its people in a nightmarish fate. The only ones untouched are Eleanor, her mother figure, Marianne, also known as Granny Pie, and three enigmatic travelers drawn to the gem for reasons of their own. Forced to leave everything behind, Eleanor embarks on a journey with four unlikely companions: two secretive elves, a rebellious noble, and a cursed prince whose past is shrouded in tragedy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the curse, face the forces that destroyed magic, and challenge the very fate of the kingdom. But some truths were meant to stay buried. Some curses are not so easily broken. And Eleanor's journey is only the beginning.

Seven noble daughters. One heart. One crown. One flame. A trial disguised in elegance and thorns. In the golden kingdom of Aurelia, the Eclipse Trial will name the next queen, bless her with divine favor, and bind her to the Sun Heir himself. Aeliana Elarion was the forgotten daughter. Overlooked and unprepared, she enters the palace with nothing but her name. In a court of silk smiles and cold ambitions, every daughter fights to stand out, each one battling for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand as queen beside Prince Caelan, the Sun Heir: a man carved by the gods, cold, dutiful, and bound to a throne he does not want to share. The Eclipse Trial is no pageant. Behind the ceremony lie tests meant to strip away masks and reveal what each girl is truly made of. Some will falter. Some will fall. Some will bleed. Only one will be crowned.

Ivy comes across a world that you can only reach between 4:20 and 4:22 am. At first she notices that the world she entered is too peaceful, like something sinister is waiting to happen, then it gets weirder when she comes across people who never do anything but smile all the time. The more Ivy examines the new world around her, she begins to feel strange especially about the people who seem to display emotions of excessive joy. Their happiness doesn't feel real or genuine to her. Maybe it's just a facade to lure newcomers in to false promises and false security, or perhaps there's more to this strange world than just a disguise? Setting: Happy Holly Tree
