A blacksmith's apprentice who would be a knight. The heir to the throne, at death's door. One woman who would save them both, if she could... Charlotte was number sixty-four in the second group of young, hopeful maidens intended to meet the Prince at a grand ball in his honor. That introduction was not to be. She returned home to her tiny village- and her visions of a future limited by it- without any warning of the drastic turn her life was about to take. Soon she would be fighting against the odds to help keep a gravely wounded stranger alive; and waging war with her own heart, as he stirred feelings in her she'd never known. When the stranger's royal identity is revealed, Charlotte is faced with an entirely different battle: one to keep her family, village, and the injured Prince in her care all safe from a madman set on taking the throne by any means necessary.

Ever wonder what kind of an emperor Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich would have been? Would he have been a tyrant? Would he have been dubbed as Alexei the terrible as his father often joked or would he have been a tenderhearted man just like his father before him? Had the murders on the night of the 17th of July 1918 never taken place, would he have lived long enough to see his own children rule Russia or would bouts of hemophilia cut his life short? These are one of the many questions that will never be answered. Unless, of course, we reopen an already finished story and add a little twist to it. In this story, the murders never took place. Read through and who knows, maybe all those unanswered questions may finally be answered. Long live the Romanovs!

Over two thousand years ago a tragedy, which was long foretold, echoed across the desert land of Judah. As the eldest brother looked down with eyes covered with blood at his four younger brothers, images of each one of their descendant's flashed through his mind. Just before he cried out with his last agonizing breath, a soft smile crossed his lips as he saw the faces of the four who would be destined for greatness, the ones who would come together, and possibly change the world. Rachel Liam only had one wish for her sweet sixteen birthday, to maybe perhaps be a little more popular than her A+ nerd social status at school, and maybe actually talk to Jimmy Dodson the captain of the baseball team. So, when a mysterious package arrives exactly at the time of which Rachel was born sixteen years ago, she could only hope it's from a secret fairy godmother. Instead of magical fairy dust, Rachel recieves an ancient book, which turns her world upside down. However Rachel isn't the only one trying to figure out the meaning of her destiny. There is a group known as the "Dark Ones" who vowed over two thousand years ago to put an end to the rising hope, and create a world full of darkness and hate. With the help of her best friend Kyle Adams, and her grandmother, she must come to terms with who she is, and more importantly, she must find the courage of stoping the Dark Ones, before it's too late. This is the story of Rachel Liam a girl destined for greatness.

In the summer of 1918 a tragedy echoed across the world when the Russian Imperial Romanov family was murdered by communists leaving much of the country crying out in mourning. Yet, there was a myth that one daughter, the youngest daughter; the Grand Duchess Anastasia had escaped. Though many disbelieved, for some this would prove to be more than a rumor and it would change their lives forever. Annalisa Peterson, a senior in high school, is dying to get out and move as far away from her family as possible. Not that she has had a rough childhood, but she wants to get away from constantly being expected to be the perfect A student and consistently having to visit her great grandmother who doesn't seem to like her, and oh yeah, doesn't speak a word of English. One final class assignment could change everything that she's ever known, and could literally re-write history. To find out the truth about her family's history, it isn't long before she's digging through old papers, books, photographs, and even travelling to Russia; not to mention getting her heart tangled up with the enemy along the way. As Annalisa finds out more and more, she's quickly discovering that once the real truth is out, her entire life will be turned upside down, and life will become much more dangerous for her, and those around her. Secrets are revealed. Questions are answered. One thing is certain; Annalisa never thought that her senior year would end like this.
