A villain is just a victim whose story has never been told. Some villains are just doing their jobs, some are forced into evil, some are doing it to protect themselves, some just want happiness, some act out of fear, and some did what they did for their loved ones. Some villains weren't even doing the wrong thing in the first place. But the world always seems to forget those meaningful words: "Villains aren't born, they're made." The human sides of King Richard (Robinhood), The Evil Queen (Snow White), Ursula (The Little Mermaid), Mother Gothel (Tangled/Rapunzel), Scar (The Lion King), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast), Captain Hook (Peter Pan), and Claude Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame). "Such a unique twist on the original fairytales. I loved it." -Maddie Girton "Beautiful. I never thought of [the characters] that way. It really makes you realize that we're all just human, trying to do the best we can in a messed up world. A great story." -Promptsfromgirls "It's a page turner, that's for sure. Well, scroller... anyway this story is awesome. Plot twists galore and really good descriptions." -Peterslostgirl37 Based on the tellings of the Brothers Grimm stories, Disney movie adaptations, musicals, and original novels/books. Warnings: Death, suicide, rape, murder, terminal illness, bullying, some gore, and dark themes.

❃ AWARD-WINNING PUBLISHED NOVEL ❃ BOOK I OF THE TRANSCENDENCE SERIES ❃ Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved. But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality--her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart. The Lost Valor of Love is the first book in the Transcendence series. Available to buy on Amazon as e-book, audiobook, and paperback. ❃Awards❃ Winner. Adult Fiction. Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2019.

●A cursed infant ◆ A wolf pack ◆ An ancient prophecy ◆ An unforgettable adventure● Ferhia knew nothing about her past, nor did she know about her parentage. For nearly fourteen years she lived with the Pack, but she knew the wolves were keeping something away from them. ●●● Kilfer feared for his sister. In fact, the entire pack feared his sister. As the days draw near, their worries turn into anger. But he knew that he was not prepared for what would come... ○●○ Sneak peek... Along the gushing river and under the silver glare of the faint moonlight, the infant woke, her deep blue eyes staring up at the sky, white and misty. Not far away from her, a pack of wolves stared at the newborn infant, and on top of the Alpha of the Pack, a boy not older than five sat. His eyes still fixated on her, he whispered something inaudible to the other wolves into its ears, and it nodded, shifting its rather massive head up and down slowly. Padding nimbly to where the awakened newborn was, it grabbed the tunic gently with its teeth and turned back to the pack, leaving the riverbank... ______________ Milestones😊 Hit 1k reads on 13th January 2019 Hit 250 votes on 17 June 2019 Hit 1.5k reads on 1st July 2019 Hit 300 votes on 30 November 2019 Hit 2k reads on 23 Dec 2019 Hit 2.5k reads on 9 March 2020 Hit 3.5k reads on 4 April 2020 Hit 4k reads and 350 votes on 9 April 2020 Hit 5k reads and 400 votes on 1 May 2020 Hit 6k reads on 16 May 2020 Hit 15k reads and 800 votes on 10 Nov 2020 Hit 17k reads and 1k votes on 12 Feb 2021!

From #1 Bestseller Morgan Rice comes an unforgettable new fantasy series. In A THRONE FOR SISTERS (Book one), Sophia, 17, and her younger sister Kate, 15, are desperate to leave their horrific orphanage. Orphans, unwanted and unloved, they nonetheless dream of coming of age elsewhere, of finding a better life, even if that means living on the streets of the brutal city of Ashton. Sophia and Kate, also best friends, have each other's backs-and yet they want different things from life. Sophia, a romantic, more elegant, dreams of entering court and finding a noble to fall in love with. Kate, a fighter, dreams of mastering the sword, of battling dragons, and becoming a warrior. They are both united, though, by their secret, paranormal power to read other's minds, their only saving grace in a world that seems bent to destroy them. As they each embark on a quest and adventure their own ways, they struggle to survive. Faced with choices neither can imagine, their choices may propel them to the highest power-or plunge them to the lowest depths. A THRONE FOR SISTERS is the first book in a dazzling new fantasy series rife with love, heartbreak, tragedy, action, magic, sorcery, fate and heart-pounding suspense. A page turner, it is filled with characters that will make you fall in love, and a world you will never forget. Book #2-A COURT FOR THIEVES-is also now available!
