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.

Opal is a young girl living in Dewdrop, a bustling suburb southeast of New York. She struggles with her life at home and doesn't have much of a life at school without any friends-until she befriends the new girl, Hope Adaire. Since meeting her, Opal's life changes for better and for worse; Hope's lies and truths become blurred together as Opal delves deeper into Hope's enigmatic life. She stumbles across a world separate from Earth, a world that she never would have thought existed. Opal discovers that she has a gift, a certain power that can make her stronger than she ever imagined, and must use it to save this new world, its inhabitants, and her own. This power is the key to seeking the truth and rejecting the lies. When someone threatens the peace in Dewdrop, this temperamental teen with too much emotional baggage must learn how to control her gift and protect her home. Note: Let me know of any mistakes I've made! It's not mature rated, but there is a bit of cursing.
