[Featured on Wattpad Official Romance's Reading List!] Marzia Castille has always had dreams. When she was 3, she wanted to be a pop star. When she was 5, she was sure there was a career that meant she could build Lego for a living (spoiler alert; there isn't one). When she was 8, she wanted to be an astronaut. Unlike most girls, funnily enough, she never wanted to be a princess. Which kinda sucked, because she was one. Now that she's 17, she's the furthest thing from a princess imaginable. She's just a normal teenager with an annoying arch-enemy, a myriad of homework that she has no plans of completing, and jeans that she wears in place of school trousers (which she'll deny if you ever challenge her on it). Being the Oxford English Dictionary definition of 'not princess' and hiding in her shitty flat in London, is the only thing keeping her from an early grave. Someone out there wants her blood, but no one can quite tell her who, or why. But when a newspaper article hits her right between the eyes, and throws everything into permanent turmoil, she has to cut through her fear, and face the life she left behind. Armed with her best friend Emilio, and a sarcastic attitude that never seems to falter, she's pushed into a constant battle of love, heartbreak, impossible responsibility and determination, that all culminate in the never-ending whirlwind that throws her about. Oh, and let's not forget complete and utter confusion and hunger about 90% of the time too.

Florida Forest Service duty officer Ray Lumley is in love with a white fringetree. Not an I-read-Walden-in-high-school love; a sweaty, sappy, I-want-to-rub-against-you-'til-I-get-splinters love. It's awkward. So, he's relieved to learn that he's really hot for Trivia, the dreadlocked, radical environmentalist nymph who lives inside the tree. Better yet, she wants to share an eternity of Arcadian delights with him. But first she has to kill the man she holds responsible for a spate of forest fires--Ray's boss, a mid-level bureaucrat (and soccer dad) who she insists is the King of the Woods. -- King of the Woods, or Trivial Pursuit retells the myth of rex Nemorensis as an urban fantasy. Updates every Tuesday.
