A new system of marriage for the prince has been made in the kingdom Taraxac: The Dandelion System. When Karlina Dearcage makes a deal with the manipulative Princess Oda to be her pawn in The Dandelion System, she has a bad feeling about it. There are ominous rumors of the mysterious prince whom the public never sees, the other contestants are just as driven as her for different reasons, and the Queen herself has some tricks up her sleeve. Nevertheless, she meets the strangely childish Prince Otto and the other personality, Oscar, who shares his body, and realizes she wants to help both of them out of her own will. As Karlina learns of the dark secrets of the Royal family and the other girls' feelings about it, she finds herself questioning the innocence of The Dandelion System. *** #1 in royal (2/11/21) #1 in royalty (4/21/20) #1 in retelling (6/13/19) #1 in medieval (1/22/20) #1 in revolution (4/16/20) #1 in dark fantasy (1/1/21) #2 in rebel (10/20/19) #2 in contest (8/22/19) #2 in competition (6/19/20) #2 in fantasy romance (10/8/21)

"We have to get out of here." I spoke somberly, an expression of grave seriousness plastered on my face. I knew the weight my words carried in this moment, as well as the consequences that came with it. The muscles in my shoulders were taught. Tension filled the air like a toxic gas, making it harder to breathe. I looked over at Abbey who sat on the bar stool next to me, her back went poker straight at my words and I could tell by the look she was giving me that not only did she know that I was right, she knew the gravity of the situation at hand. In this moment her green eyes turned gray, mixed heavily with anxiety and knowing. If I could have guessed it she was thinking about looking into our futures to see the outcome. She knew as well as I did that some details were best left unchecked, but that never stopped her before. A grim look crossed her face before she broke our gaze, I held my breath. "It won't be easy," she said softly, her voice barely a whisper. "We may not make it out alive." "I know." Oh boy, did I know.

I was standing in my balcony looking at the dark sky with stars. It was peaceful and calm. I liked this. For the first time in this whole year, I felt calm. "I wish for true love and luck on finding myself." I laughed at myself. I never believed in God. But little did I knew about wishes. They had their flaws too. Everyone and everything does. I'm Kylie Jones Wilston, and you're going to read my story. *** Updates: slow, I don't have a schedule, sorry about that :^(
