The work of the Brothers Grimm have gained worldwide renown as the inspiration behind many modern classics in cinematic history, most notably, Walt Disney's children's' films. This is a collection of the original tales, of well-known works such as "Cinderella" ("Aschenputtel") , "The Frog Prince" ("Der Froschkönig") and "Sleeping Beauty" ("Dornröschen") and lesser-known ones, like "The Fisherman and His Wife" ("Von dem Fischer und seiner Frau"), "The Singing Bone" ("Der singende Knochen"), and "The Wedding of Mrs. Fox" ("Die Hochzeit der Frau Füchsin"), all of which are lovely tales that I hope you'll enjoy! :)

[The third and final book in the Cold Fire trilogy: Discontinued - See part 2 for more] Things are changing. With the reversal of the curse, the world has been plunged into a new, darker age, one controlled by Keon and his followers. Their powers have increased, their will has strengthened, and their oppression of Avexyr-kind has become as thick and merciless as the winter. Not only this, but as the time of the Prophecy draws closer, the veil between this world and the next is mysteriously slipping and changing, growing steadily weaker. Ghosts are attacking humans, powers are awakening in the sick, and the horrors of the otherworld are surging to life, terrorising families, towns and cities. Melissa can sense things coming to a conclusion. Her visions have grown darker and more urgent. Panic amongst the council has created a threatening disintegration of assistance and trust. And the line between reality and illusion, friend and enemy, has become dangerously blurred. Moreover, Keon is setting in motion plans for humanity's destruction -- for the dawn of the New World. It's Melissa's responsibility, and possibly even her fate, to stop him -- but will she be able to pay the price? Only one thing is certain: the endgame is coming. © 2018 by shayebay This novel is entirely a work of fiction.

Their world: Dead Their goal: Survival Their destination: ...unknown After years surviving on a dying Earth, the last remnants of humanity are finally forced to escape into the endless unknown of outer space in order to find a place to live that's better than the tree-less, oxygen-less wasteland they are leaving behind. Yet their arrival on their destination planet, the one that was supposed to allow the continued survival of the human race, is not the happy welcome they were expecting. Not even close. Their new home they once believed to be just a scorched, and ruined planet, yet a habitable one, turns out to be something much more. More dangerous, more uncertain... More lethal. May the strongest die.

Book 3 of the Burning series: the sequel to Dust and Ashes. The earth is no longer bound by the laws that once existed. Humanity is not contained to the desert domes as was once believed, but rather has begun to flourish throughout their broken earth. Diseases and desert monsters are among the least of the planet's worries: warfare waged in shadows, however, is another matter. They are all pawns. They are all players in this nasty little game that will never truly end. Look back on the mess you've made, darlings. This will be your legacy, if you let it. Will you let it?
