COMPLETE #1 in Fantasy #1 in Adventure #1 in Historical Fiction ---------- Sometimes, believing helps us to see truth. Other times, we need a little evidence to believe. But there is truth behind everything; every false manoeuvre, ever little lie...a small piece of truth is hidden. Just like truth is wound into legends too. Growing up best friend to the future King, Arabelle never really thought her life could go wrong. Whenever she wanted something, or needed something, she would get it. Then she lost her father at a young age and Arabelle was forced into a world of dresses, balls, and lies. Being a tomboy, Arabelle would have rather been out on her horse doing archery practice with her brothers. When Arabelle gets curious and sneaks into a forbidden area of the castle, she discovers a deadly secret: her bloodline is sacred, dating back to a legend surrounded by the one thing she knows not to be true. Unsure what to do, she gets caught up in a series of events that lead to her being hidden and whisked away from the only familiar place she knew. After making some unlikely allies, Arabelle sets off on a journey to find the legend of the last dragon egg. Fate has something big in store for her; will she be able to withstand the pressure of it all?There is one thing Arabelle needs to learn to survive this new place... Some things are more than a legend. ---------- © Isabella Espe 2013 - 2019 This is a work of fiction.

The Islanders know one thing: they have no purpose. They survive merely because of a human, instinctual fear of death. They survive because they love each other. Some of them survive because they believe they had a purpose in another life. Some will eventually give up on survival itself. Above all, they survive because of Aqua's dreams, which tell them that the outside world is not lost--yet.

In the night when the kingdom of Incantasi has been conquered by the tyrant Henry, Cassandra Monfort is born-a girl who could save the kingdom from the evil ruler's hands. When the seal appears on her twelfth year, her whole life changes. King Henry orders the execution of her parents, and it happens before her very eyes. But luckily, Cassandra is saved by a group of bandits who takes her in their care. She vows for revenge, an oath to make the tyrant pay for her parents' unjust death. Bryce, the leader of the bandits, hides her identity by making her dress up like a man and trains her to be a fighter under her new name, Miles. A plan is all she has. But things get shaky when she meets the Prince of Incantasi, Lancelot. The once driven Miles finds herself falling for the man who is the enemy's son. Will she choose her heart or the fate of the kingdom that lies in her hands?
