In 1865, a young girl by the name of Alice Liddell went missing from outside of her home in Oxford, England. Left in the care of her older sister, Margaret, no one could understand how the seven-year-old had disappeared so suddenly. Yet, after multiple search parties were gathered, she was never found, leaving her family to grieve and wonder whatever happened to the youngest member of the family. No one would ever suspect the girl had fallen down a rabbit hole and no one would ever believe the adventures the girl would encounter in a world called Wonderland. From talking flowers to a mischievous grinning cat, Alice had experienced encounters that only children with the wildest imaginations could dream of. Over a century after her disappearance, the impossible happens. Alice reappears, however, she is only a few years older than when she disappeared. Crawling out of a rabbit hole in the Forbidden Forest, the wizarding world is stunned to uncover the girl who is completely unharmed, but more importantly, she is alive. However, with no surviving family, Alice is left in the care of a witch who helps her readjust before she begins her time at Hogwarts. For Alice, readjusting to her former world is far from easy but she's always been up for an adventure. Especially since she has her trusted White Rabbit to keep her company, not to mention a group of friends willing to help her along the way. She also comes across a boy who is so by the books and so set on following the rules, it's clear he needs a little nonsense in his life and Alice knows all about nonsense.

The day Andrew's best friend tells him there's a no-fly zone near their homes changes everything. One minute they're talking conspiracy theories, the next they're hiking into a restricted zone to uncover what they suspect is another Area 51. The armed soldiers patrolling the electric fence around the area are the big clue that they should go home, but this could be their last chance for a little end-of-summer adventure. When the teens witness another hiker murdered, they need to rethink their commitment to unraveling the mystery. Is losing their lives really worth finding out what's being hidden in the New Mexico desert? ====== TRIGGER WARNING Some gun violence and war scenes.

Welcome to the World of Alburnium... If the Wizard of Oz swept you away and Narnia enchanted you, then follow the White Road Chronicles for a new kind of fantasy adventure. Illuminated: Book One begins with a girl in search of the truth. Alyra, mockingly known as Princess, was captured at an early age by the evil ruler, Darnel, and brought up in the dark land of Racah. At the age of seventeen, she considers herself nothing special. She has no recollection of who she is or where she came from. Her hope of ever finding freedom dims. Until the messenger arrives. Until he brings to light the meaning behind the medallion she's kept hidden. Until she accepts the blinding truth. Now she flees for her life. Alyra's journey leads her down a narrow road with strange traveling companions. Together, they encounter a kingdom where nothing is what it first seems. **FYI for those coming over from Captured: Novella One of the White Road Tales... A lot happens between Tarek and the Princess during the novella series, so jumping into this book will be a little confusing at first. The novellas were meant to be a fun prequel to the relationship they had before Darnel - King of Racah- figured out what was going on and tried to put a stop to their relationship. Tarek and Alyra's story thread continues all through the White Road Chronicle novel series - so if you want to see what happens and how they get back together, keep reading. I'm really sorry for the confusion, I should have put this up at the beginning. My apologies. =) The White Road Chronicles consists of: Illuminated: Book One- available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble Luminosity: Book Two- available on Amazon, Kobo, Scrib'd, B&N and more. Emanate: Book Three - available on Amazon Radiance: Book Four - available on Amazon Just Released: Ignited: Book Five - available on Amazon Are you packed and ready for your journey? Well, let's get going then...

Maygest, an old thief, who has been conning people for the last decade, finds his way of life extinguished when the tyrannical Lords of Osskrip join forces and destroy all the fugitive enclaves, the only places people are allowed to be people. With no place to go and fearing that death may be near, Maygest sets off in search of a mythical harp that is said will bring peace to the land in a last-ditch effort to redeem himself before he dies. The problem is, the harp only seems to exist in his mind. Testimonials: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Maygest's Tale is a groundbreaking subversion of the classic hero's cycle. It explores the life and past of the wise mentor in an emotional and beautiful way, while simultaneously giving the reader a thrilling plot full of twists and turns. Well done!" - MorganaLester ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This book was outstanding! All the quirky characters and places melded seamlessly with the deep emotional pulls of the story, in such a way to keep you deeply interested in following until the end. I was more than once left gasping, crying, and laughing. Maygest is a kind of hero that we don't see enough of, and that goes for the rest of the cast, as well. The characters feel diverse, alive and they are all so entertaining. In my mind, it was and is an evolution of fantasy that the genre needs, containing the perfect mix of all the things I love about the genre, and new ideas executed with perfection. It's a satisfying, humorous, gripping, and emotional read from start to finish. ❤️❤️" - Fardariesmai97 #1 in Harp (lol) 8th -- 12th Oct 2020
