In 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest is a giant narwhal. The US government assembles an expedition to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist (and narrator within the story) receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition. As the expedition travels south around Cape Horn into the Pacific Ocean, the crew finds the monster after a long search and then attack it, but the ship is damaged with the three main protagonists thrown into the water. They are quickly captured and then meet the enigmatic Captain Nemo. ~ Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne and was originally published in 1870. The novel was originally serialized between March 1869 and June 1870 in Pierre-Jules Hetzel's periodical, the Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation. An illustrated edition, published by Hetzel in November 1871, included 111 illustrations by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

WILL BE MOVING TO GALATEA ON THE 14TH OF JANUARY! The Crown Trials is a royal competition in which 24 Iridis suitors from each of Heliac's Royal Academies compete for the title of Heliac's guardian and the hand of the apparent heir to the Golden Throne in marriage. Willow Aldwyn is an Iridis blessed with the powers of an Air Wielder but has spent most of her life trying to escape it by hiding amongst the First-Bloods. But hiding comes with a price. With each passing year, her powers grow stronger and wilder until the fateful day when she's pushed beyond her limits and unleashes her destructive powers during a visit from the king and his son. Crown Prince Atlas. Astonished by her untamed powers, the king obligates her to join the Trials, posing as an ordinary suitor while secretly being taught how to manage her intense abilities. But the Trials prove to be far more complicated than Willow could have expected. Friendship and competitors in a game of lies to satisfy the entertainment of the public. And a prince, hard to resist.

I didn't know what I was really doing most of the time. It may have seemed like I did but to be completely honest with myself... I ran head first into a war I didn't know anything about, without a thought in my head except to save those who saved me. I didn't know that made me a fighter. __________ All copyrights are reserved to the phenomenal author, James Dashner-the man who created the amazing trilogy of "The Maze Runner"-and to the director and makers of the movies. I only own Ame, her plot, and her perspective. Still in major editing!
