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.

Three lonely years has passed since Sakura Haruno last seen her long-time crush. And after Sasuke left the village, he finally came back for an unknown reason. With him, still ignoring the pinkette, Sakura suddenly woke up to realization: That Sasuke will NEVER have feelings for her, nor be concerned about her very being... or so she thought. As time passed by, memories of their happy childhood faded while hatred grew in her heart for the raven. He left her again, but she couldn't care less this time. "You are not worth it." as she would quote him to be. Six more months later, his heart finally yearns for hers. But for Sakura, her heart is now as hard stone after everything he did to her. Will he find a way to win her back and live a peaceful and loved-filled life, he longs for? Or will he just be another mistake in her forgotten past? What if, an enemy suddenly emerges from the shadows and takes her away? Hearts will beat. Hatred will be the upperhand. Love, will never be the same.
