Top ranking #1 in Sword and Sorcery "The king is dead! Long live no one, nobody ... Nothing ..." Game of Thrones meets Caraval in this family-friendly epic telling of light, darkness and all the colours in between. "In the year 390, the Albidoni crowned their first king. Seven hundred years later, they deposed their last and now that man is dead. Let the people rejoice. But in the land of dreamers where men would live free, there lingers an ancient tyranny waiting to be awakened. When civil war and plague threaten to undo the peace the Albidoni have so long strived for and when the sunset bleeds only red onto the horizon, that evil will return embraced with open arms. - For what the dreamers have forgotten or what perhaps they never knew is that shadows have a price, wishes require a life and its tales told 'round the fireside that are the cruelest masters of all."

She thought she was going to die. She did. But the next time she opened her eyes , she found out that she was living a whole new life, as a little girl who was going to enter a noble household as a maid. However, a true pearl can never hide its lustre. It was a new world, set in ancient China-like era. Despite being confined in the vicinity of her new masters' household, she strove to live, and perhaps find love. Little did she know, her current life was one that had been pre-ordained. Not by the gods or heavens, but by a promise made by someone that had followed her through countless lifetimes ago. ||Author's note|| Original story. It's best to start with this book (One Lifetime is Never Enough / OLiNE). BUT before proceeding beyond chapter 28, I suggest to read book 0 (Loving You For A Lifetime/ LYFAL). Then, Book 2 (Remembering You For Eternity / RYFE) will be the conclusion of the tale spanning over the 3 books. Any images used were taken off the wonderful worldwideweb (mainly Pinterest). No copyright infringement ever intended. If you are aware of any credit due and which must be mentioned (or removed), please let me know. English is only my second language, so please bear with any of my errors. Book 0 and Book 1 especially, were written without editors and/or proofreaders. Mistakes abound.

The Kingdom of Joseon is at war, and they're losing. Terribly. The invading Japanese are equipped with advanced weapons that the Koreans' own bows and arrows are no match against. And now, with the best Joseon Navy admiral in prison for treason, the country's chances of winning the war are slim to none. Since the humans are making a mess of things, the temperamental and liver-hungry gumiho Moon Sun takes it upon herself to intervene. To succeed, she'll need to summon a sea dragon currently residing off the coast of a southern island. Unfortunately, the only people around to help in her quest are an exiled criminal and a few clueless divers, and their incompetence is truly testing her patience. They might have a chance of winning, if she doesn't kill everyone first.

The Goblin's Trilogy #1 After being raised by her three criminal brothers, Matilda is used to stealing what she wants. However, when she picks the wrong person's pocket, she, unfortunately, wins the attentions of the goblin king, or well, prince actually. In one fell swoop, her life shifts and a thief is made a queen. The queen of a hoard of nasty, ugly, vile creatures with a taste for chaos. Surprisingly, she finds that this arrangement suits her just fine. But even the goblin queen's crown might not be enough to slate Matilda's greed as she sets her sights on overthrowing Queen Mab and becoming ruler over the entire Unseelie Court. ---- Author's note: I'm shooting to update every Thursday or Friday, depending on my work schedule. Happy reading and beware of goblins. Beautiful cover is courtesy of @thisrosewillneverdie
