Cast out of the tower where she's been locked up her whole life, Ivy is suddenly all alone in the desert with nothing to call her own, not even her name. Starvation seems inevitable until Leon, a chivalrous merchant comes along to bring her to a city she's never heard of before. From there, life could be perfect were Ivy not still caught up on the secret love affair she harbored in her tower, the one thing that seemed to keep her going, through days of misery. And so begins a whirlwind of adventures. In her quest to find her love, Ivy encounters a family of dwarfs, a beached mermaid, a small town fairy, and all manner of things she could never have dreamed of. Most importantly, she begins to discover who she truly is and what is really means to love. -- ***Winner of the FairytaleCommunity Mix-Up Novel Contest*** Started 5/29/16 - Completed 2/12/17 #56 Fantasy 2/5/17 Cover made by @Pennywithaney

The Bride of Death returns in the sequel to Little Saint Bride... HECATE'S CURSE IS LOOMING. Nerissa has been reunited with Nathaniel, her brother, but at a cost: Mercer has been taken captive by Hecate, her nemesis, and solving the mysteries of Nate's death has revealed a huge secret regarding the twins. SPRING HAS RETURNED FOR THEIR PRINCESS. Now, they're stuck between an old curse and a feuding court, and yet nobody seems to be making a move yet. Hecate has vanished, and Nerissa's family have yet to make contact. NERISSA AND HADRIAN MUST MAKE THE FINAL STEP. To break Hecate's curse, the two must marry and share their night together by the time the month is out. WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Until, unannounced, an envoy from Spring seeks to settle the peace between the two courts once and for all. Uncertain of whether he tells the truth, Nerissa instinctively distrusts the charming courtier, who wishes for her to take control of the Underworld throne. Meanwhile, the human kingdom is ravaged by a disease that's killing thousands of people. Alliances grow, however, in the face of an enemy far beyond anyone's realisation, and the truth that Nerissa might be the what they need to survive... A queen of sins and rebirth.

"Who will we send after the little witch?" The room went silent as one of them stood up from her throne, pacing forward. Her skirts flowed over the marble floors as silently as a whisper. Every eye was drawn to her. "I will go after her and make her my slave." She revealed flawless white teeth in a playful smile. "It will be fun. Like a game." The other Gods relaxed, confident that Alice Cunningham didn't stand a chance. After all, no one could resist Aphrodite.
