The fate of the Kingdom of Elaion rests in the hands of a lazy priestess when she's sent on a mission to stop a runaway prince's rebellion. But can anyone even trust her to get out of bed, let alone save the kingdom? Philia may seem like no more than a sassy little girl who loves naps more than anything else-but she's actually a young woman with the ability to read minds. Her goal is to use her powers, charms, and sharp wits to win the heart of Leo Elaion, the fugitive prince who murdered his brothers and escaped to the barren wilderness of Akantha. With her kindly escort Diati in tow, Philia must persuade the bloodthirsty prince to give up his war and save the kingdom from certain doom. Can she bring about a change of heart in the prophesied "beast who swallowed thorns" and convince him to abandon his cruel aspirations? All Rights Reserved Written by Kim Young Ji.

Amanda is in the park one day after moving away from her ex-husband when she finds a small boy. This would be a simple problem to solve, but this little boy is quite literally the size of her hand and his parents are nowhere to be found. Unable to leave the boy behind, Amanda decides to take the boy in and take care of him while she tries to discover the mystery of who this little boy is. The boy, because of his size, presents a whole new set of challenges for the adoptive mother. ~~~~~^*^*^*^*^~~~~~ Parker knew he was different, but never truly understood why. He was unnaturally good at balancing. He had keen hearing and sight. His senses always felt heightened and he could predict when people were near. Believing he had a genetic condition that kept him from growing beyond four-and-a-half inches, Parker attributed his natural skills as part of his condition and lived as normal of a life as possible. Once he gets old enough, however, his world comes crashing down and makes him question who - what - he is. ~~~~~^*^*^*^*^~~~~~ This is the story of their journey.
