I had always been drawn to the dark side, be it in movies or in any other field, even when picking a book to read. I would be drawn by the cover art, and I have never been wrong by a cover picking of a book. So there I was in this situation with "friends" where they wanted to go to a club, I hated clubs because all the one's they dragged me to were so not my scene. The whole thing was a turn off, I would find a dark corner and just sit and watch, till they were ready to go home. One evening same deal, only one thing was different, I had seen a guy walk through the club, he was dressed differently to everyone else and to me looked like a god. I had skintight black jeans on, and a chest hugging polar neck. He walked right past me and didn't even see me, but I sure saw him and he had dropped something. When I was sure he was gone I went and picked it up........ This is where it all began.....

Basil doesn't like being in the magic school and to make matters worse, he now has to have a roommate! Baz didn't like the look of Simon Snow the minute he walked into the room, with his perfect blonde hair and cheesy grin. Having a room mate would only make things riskier. What if he found out about Baz's true self. Basil would try all his best to get rid of Snow, even if it meant drowning him in the mote. But something is about to happen that Baz defiantly was not expecting....

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.
