COMPLETE #1 in Fantasy #1 in Adventure #1 in Historical Fiction ---------- Sometimes, believing helps us to see truth. Other times, we need a little evidence to believe. But there is truth behind everything; every false manoeuvre, ever little lie...a small piece of truth is hidden. Just like truth is wound into legends too. Growing up best friend to the future King, Arabelle never really thought her life could go wrong. Whenever she wanted something, or needed something, she would get it. Then she lost her father at a young age and Arabelle was forced into a world of dresses, balls, and lies. Being a tomboy, Arabelle would have rather been out on her horse doing archery practice with her brothers. When Arabelle gets curious and sneaks into a forbidden area of the castle, she discovers a deadly secret: her bloodline is sacred, dating back to a legend surrounded by the one thing she knows not to be true. Unsure what to do, she gets caught up in a series of events that lead to her being hidden and whisked away from the only familiar place she knew. After making some unlikely allies, Arabelle sets off on a journey to find the legend of the last dragon egg. Fate has something big in store for her; will she be able to withstand the pressure of it all?There is one thing Arabelle needs to learn to survive this new place... Some things are more than a legend. ---------- © Isabella Espe 2013 - 2019 This is a work of fiction.

Six teens are devoted to a game with one rule: If a player gets tagged, they must change their life within the next fifteen minutes. The better the player, the bigger the change. One might give their car away, or punch the school bully. Another might change identities or sacrifice their virginity. Anything to keep evolving, to avoid fitting into a label or caring about the junk they own. But their quest for enlightenment has taken a rotten final turn - one of the players has murdered the game's creator, the teen prophet (cult leader?) David Bloom. Our narrator is being framed for the crime; can he clear his name and discover which of his lifelong friends is the murderer before he takes the fall? [sic] is a gritty teen murder mystery that delves into the psychology of enlightenment among the criminally dysfunctional.

Running away to find yourself, fight, and move forward is one thing. Running away from your arranged marriage, the biggest duty for a princess to fulfill, is another. Many rumors, questions, and speculations surround the circumstances of why Princess Iris of Tetra uncharacteristically spurns her arranged marriage. For those who know her, she is always obedient in her duties, accepting her position as princess seriously, even though she was originally born and raised elsewhere. However, for those who know her well are able to sense she doesn't necessarily like her obligations. So, why did she run away, even though she is fully aware many arranged marriages in her part of society are loveless? For Lord Kyle of Firenze, he sets off on a journey to find his runaway fiancee, seeking answers on her motives. There is one huge snag in this, however: how can the pursuer search for the pursued, as the pursued hides from the pursuer, when neither one knows what the other looks like? Add in an adventure Iris never expects herself to get into, perhaps a punishment from Karma for not being dutiful enough, and this is where her true self comes out. This quest, with Fate pulling the strings, brings Kyle and Iris together soon enough; not as betrothed or beings of high society, but as fighters and tacticians of war. Things will get complicated from there.
