Lies, mysteries, love, secrets, decisions, etc... Do they define us? Do they say a lot about who we are? NO! We all have secrets, the ones we keep, and the ones that are kept from us. But why? Why do we have to keep secrets and lie? Maybe because the truth is too dangerous and it's safer to live in a dark alley than get burn in the sun. The Parkers don't know how to live a normal life. What it seemed to be a perfect family of three children, turns out to hide more secrets than you can imagine.

For Claudette and Emile Borde, living in the city of Ayres and working on their parents' farm has never been enough. Influenced by stories of the past, in which magic was real and the dragons still lived, the siblings have always dreamed of leaving their city behind and embarking on their own adventures. But as squires training to become full-fledged knights, they must renounce magic, for it was magic that nearly tore the world apart during the old wars. When the carnival comes to the city, Claudette meets Aeonia, and the two become fast friends. But Aeonia is no simple girl playing at fortune telling-she can wield magic, and it's both breathtaking and volatile. Torn between upholding her duty as a squire and keeping a secret for her friend, Claudette must decide where her loyalties lie. Is this the adventure she's always craved, or is she dooming her city and her loved ones by remaining silent? Set in the same world as The Fading Dusk, By the Morning Light is a brand new adventure by author Melissa Giorgio that sets up the third book in the Smoke and Mirrors series.

The first book of the USA Today Bestselling series! "Though much of the book is light-hearted and occasionally outright hilarious, the author sneaks in a few home truths along the way that will hit you where it counts, like how even someone’s best intentions can box you in." --Everybody Needs a Little Romance "This was one of those books that I kept telling myself one more page, then I need to put it down. Instead I found myself tearing through the book instead, needing to know the outcome." --Just Jump Book Reviews **** For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She’s had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone’s toilet’s overflowed, but she’s never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are certain: There isn't enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect. Rose realizes she’s wasted twenty-four years of living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. She’s well on her way with the help of her next door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose the rules of drinking, but won’t help with number fifteen-- do more with a man. Joe’s new to town, but it doesn’t take a vision for Rose to realize he’s got plenty secrets of his own. Somebody thinks Rose has something they want and they’ll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isn’t her biggest worry after all. ***** Winner of The Beacon – 2010 Unpublished Division, Mainstream Category "Thirty-Two and a Half Complications" releases on June 24, 2014.

Addison isn't your average princess; she yearns for adventure, not stuck in a palace waiting for prince charming. After her father announces that she will be set to get married soon, and her so-called best friend has turned into a noble hypocrite, Addison has had about enough with her life. And then few interesting things happen that get her wound up, disguised as a boy and on an adventure she has only dreamed about. She soon begins her journey for the six imperial stones, following the two outcasts Lance and Collin, who seem like they came straight from Robin Hood. ▬▬▬ I am VERY much inspired by many things but what inspired me most for this story is Esther Friesner, and her Princesses of Myth series, I've read the books many times and i absolutely love them. This story is alot like it but it also has alot of differences, so check it out! :}
