The birth of the duchesses second daughter did not go like the first. Most thought that both mother and baby wouldn't live. But when the child was born she was granted one fairy godmother and the gift bestowed upon her and her mother was life. Now she is seventeen and has known since she was little what that gift cost her. The fairy used part of a dragon's heart to save her life and now she is cursed to forever be trapped between human and dragon. The duchess is constantly ill, the servants and nobles avoid her, and her father keeps her confined to the castle and it's grounds. And to make things worse, as the year turns towards summer, Prince Calev is announced to be coming on his way to the southern borders. The dragonslayer Prince.

Snow White, daughter of one of the most prominent ranchers in the area, claims her stepmother is trying to kill her. Dalton Prince- the owner of the cabin she takes up residence in thanks to a passing storm- thinks she's a little soft in the head. It's no matter though, he can just return her to her family, no harm done. But the young woman, it would seem, has other plans entirely. She claims she can't go home and she has every intention of staying with Dalton to help him raise the seven boys he's taken in over the years. They're her purpose now. Still Dalton will do whatever it takes to return the young woman to where she belongs- under the care of her father and stepmother who can keep an eye on their addlebrained charge. Except as he's met with trouble from every side he starts to wonder who is telling the truth in all of this and just how much trouble this strange but attractive young woman will bring upon him, his boys, and up until now his somewhat ordered life.

After helping the mermaids, Emerson is happy to get back to normal life, and he is thrilled that his days often include visits from pretty Saria Beggley. Not all is right with the world, however. Pirates have begun terrorizing ships around the eastern islands in the chain; and ships, sailors, and even passengers are going missing every day. When Emerson and Saria are captured, they discover the pirates are not what they thought-even moreso the feared Pirate King responsible for it all. When a legendary phantom ship shows up in Cayan waters, the mysterious crew enlists Emerson's help in stopping the ever-expanding menace of the pirates. As Emerson's feelings for Saria begin to blossom, he wants nothing more than to see her safely home to Chadwick. But the only way to safety for any of them is by thwarting the plans of the Pirate King. PLEASE NOTE: Now that "Phantoms" is publishing on Amazon, they will only let me leave a sample amount here on Wattpad. The whole thing is free to read with Kindle Unlimited, though!

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.

The sea isn't safe. Only the bravest and strongest become sailors. Luminescent mermaids roam the depths and the shallows, mouthing words no one can hear, never surfacing. Raised all his life in an island fishing village, bookish Emerson Kadwell has always been warned away from the shore. But an infant memory of a song and the lapping of waves continually draw him. When Emerson finds a mermaid stranded in an isolated part of the shoreline, the truth about his past and hers will change his world forever. A luminescent mermaid. A bookish inventor. A terrible truth. Shallows is a clean YA fantasy novel with elements of paranormal and romance. It is the first in a series. --- NOTE: NOW THAT THIS NOVEL IS AVAILABLE ON KINDLE, I CAN ONLY LEAVE A SAMPLE AMOUNT HERE ON WATTPAD. Thanks for understanding and I hope you enjoy!
