When a suitor comes hoping to win Princess Suzanna's heart, her whole world is turned upside down. With a reputation of talking far too much and wild red hair to match her temper, Suzanna can't imagine what the Duke of Adryrwen sees in her. In a sudden decision, she accepts the betrothal. But the more Suzanna questions whether she is ready to marry, the more her heart is drawn to another. When Suzanna discovers a startling, unsettling secret about the Duke, she turns to Samuel, knight and close friend to her brother, for help. In the midst of the fear and desperation, Samuel and Suzanna are pulled closer and closer together. It does not take long for the two to realise they are falling for each other. But a betrothal is not easily broken, nor is a knight welcome to marry a Princess. The fight for her heart just became a whole lot harder. (Book #2)

Soraya Thenayu embarks on a quest to find her father, brother, and the missing children from across Etheria. As she and her friends cross borders to enter Casmerah they encounter Demons, corrupt politicians, and team up with Valor, a young man fighting to overthrow his country's evil ruler. Time is running out, however, as various foes put their plans into motion. To stop them, Soraya is forced to choose whether she's an Angel or a Demon.

Just a twist on the fairy tale we all know. Rapunzel has always known that the woman who kept her locked away from the world wasn't her mother, despite her being taken as a baby. She was just an old witch that planned to use her against her parents. It is only when she turns 18 that she realizes that she needs to do something if she ever wants to escape. When she gets to meet her knight in shining armor, he's not what she expected, but also more than she'd ever dreamed. Highest Ranking: #968 in Fantasy
