Born to a crown she never wanted. Bound to a legacy she refuses to obey. As the king's illegitimate daughter, her bloodline is his curse - one forged in secrets, violence, and hidden bones. Princess Valerie Aurum Kryon Bonesses has spent her life in the shadow of a heartbroken king who would rather see her perfect and buried than just and crowned. But when Valerie is thrust into a war for a throne built on cruelty, she discovers that some legacies are not inherited... they are conquered. As she uncovers the horrors her family hides behind gilded walls, she vows to expose every secret - even if it means tearing her kingdom apart. Her rebellion will shatter a dynasty. Her mercy will forge a new kingdom. In a realm where heirs are broken to prove their worth, Valerie must decide: become the monster her family made... or destroy the crown that created them. The bones of the royal family are cracking - and a new queen will rise from the ruins. -------------- Potentially part of a duology.

Two childhood friends with different backgrounds and personalities, but the same problem. They could not fit in at school. They had no dates, no admirers and no friends, except themselves of course. Albert was just not manly enough. He insisted on applying lip gloss and mascara to every event, and refused to wear masculine attires and scents. Victoria, his childhood friend was a tomboy. She hated flowers and make-up, and the colour pink. In fact, she ditched her long curly hair for a low hair cut. How did the people around them react? Their school mates ridiculed them all day long, but they didn't care. At church, they served as sermon topics to their Pastor. And at home, they got into several arguments with their parents. Even their siblings seemed to detest their decisions and choices. But, as long as they had each other, they were happy and content. Not until their friendly relationship was threatened. They had two options. Behave like a normal child. OR Be shipped to their parent's childhood homes to start life afresh. They couldn't risk being without each other, or losing their identity. Where would they go from here? A ride into their worlds will tell us the answer. Let's explore the story of Victoria Ike and Albert John. Perhaps, we'll find treasures and learn lessons.

Will she find true love, or will her dreams shatter like the fragile beauty standards that have haunted her for so long? Dive into the pages of this intriguing tale and accompany Lysandra on her journey to self-discovery.

(Original Version) My cousin and I are the only true bloods left in the Thanos Family. I'm eighteen now and my absent father decided to finally take responsibility of having another child. Moving from New York to California wasn't the hard part. The hard part was trying to find the ones who murdered my mother and my grandparents, pretending to be a normal high schooler, and along with that, fighting my feelings for one of my brother's best friends. Didn't I mention that I am also going to be the new Don of our West Coast Empire? I am Gaiana Kallisto Thanos, Mafia Princess, and the best fucking fighter there is. This is book one of the Mafia Duet. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: "I only give respect to those who deserve it, and the only one in this room that deserves it is Alex. Plus you can't call me a slut when you are the one who loves to constantly have her bed warmed with partners. I'm the one in a stable relationship." She gave a smirk. "You sure about that," she asked. She took her phone out and showed me a photo of Luca dressed in what he wore today, escorting Stephany into the passenger seat of his car. I felt my heart drop to my stomach but didn't outwardly show it. Years of being able to turn off my emotions come in handy. "Well there goes that." I looked into her eyes. "What? Did you expect me to drop to the floor and cry? Honey, you don't know me. And you never will because I'm moving out." I looked at my father and said, "It was nice meeting you but I'm good. I'll pack my stuff and be out by tonight." _________________________________________ Start: March 30, 2018 End: August 31, 2018 Copyrighted 2018
