"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

"Before I show you who I am, I want you to remember what you're fighting for," Aide replied cautiously and gave them all a piercing stare. "Keep an open mind." "Just tell us, lad," Hanke snarled impatiently and bobbed his sword. "Brace yourselves," Aide said as he slowly reached for his hood. Emaia's heart pounded vigorously in her chest, so loudly, she feared people could hear. This was it. She would finally see the face of her rescuer, the face she had so longed to see. Aide gave them all one last lingering look before he closed his eyes. "Your whole world is about to change." He punctuated his sentence by pulling off his hood. The entire crowd gasped and all readied their weapons, as long silver hair burst free from the cloak and long slender ears appeared. It was impossible, Emaia thought. They had been extinct for decades. But there was no denying it. She looked at the man who had rescued her a few nights ago, and remembered him as charming and valiant. It all made so much sense now-why he could do, what he could do. He was an elf. And not just any elf. - A Northern Elf.

When a night of fun leads to being thrust into a reality deemed mythical, Kaitlyn has no choice but to buckle up and enjoy the ride, especially when a man claims to be the father of the child she's carrying. *** Imagine waking up abandoned in a hotel bedroom, the smell of sex loitering the air and bare as the day you were born. No remembrance of the previous night while sporting two small mysterious holes on the side of your neck, a lingering ache distinguishing between your legs. That's how things transpired for Kaitlyn one morning; soreness and exhaustion littering her bones as evidence of her previous affairs. Time flies in the shape of a few weeks and Kaitlyn starts to feel odd. Constant vomiting, sleeping more than usual, sore feet, a drop in appetite - you name it. The first thought that arises is she may have caught a stomach flu. What she couldn't fathom was another being taking place within her womb, developing with each worrying second. This definitely wasn't a planned pregnancy. She's faced with many things exceeding the knowledge of the made-up folklore that mankind has developed over time. Thrown into a world where fictitious creatures reside, how does Kaitlyn cope with the thought of her pregnancy and the fact the man she's tangled in the sheets with is much more than a reckless fling? Misfortune and corresponding events follow Kaitlyn as she's confronted with things that will drive her to question her existence as she's swept into a world that reveals so many mysteries. ° ° ° C O V E R- @Pennywithaney T R A I L E R- @loyallyric ° ° ° ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ® © 2016-2017 by J.L Weaver ° ° ° Highest Rankings || #1 in Vampire (5/2/18) #8 in Fantasy (8/31/18)

My father scolds me sharply. I flinch at the anger in his voice and quickly retract my hand, inches from the trunk of the tree. "Sorry father, I couldn't help it. The trees are just so beautiful," I whine turning towards him. His face softens slightly and he scoops me up into his muscled arms. I wrap my small arms around his neck and bury my face into his shoulder. He hugs me tightly and carries me away from the forest. "Why can't we go into the forest?" I ask, looking over his shoulder to see the red and gold leaves slowly disappear from view as we climb the hill. "The forest is a dangerous place," he sighs. "How can something so beautiful be so dangerous?" I mutter in confusion. "The danger is in its beauty." **Cover by SodaliteSilver**
