Ide is the third-born princess of the isolated, rigidly superstitious kingdom of Abfhaenn, where tradition is worshipped and change is feared. Her secret? An enchanted ring, left to her by her late mother, which renders its wearer invisible when turned counter-clockwise. It's a dream come true for Ide, an awkward spare heir whose greatest wish is to disappear. But the king of the valley is dead, and the throne is perilously near the grasp of the last person who should take it: his spurned younger brother, the glitteringly charismatic Lord Graeme, who will stop at nothing to take back what he's owed. The last thing Ide wants to do is draw attention to herself, but when her mother died, she left behind a mystery that only Ide could possibly solve. With the aid of a mysterious alley cat and an irritatingly dreamy stable hand, she's forced to realize that the ring might be the key to stopping Graeme - but taking action means being seen, and failure comes at a fatal cost.

Religion rules Constantine's world...and she has been condemned as the Spawn of the Devil. She is a Champion, a human being blessed with superhuman abilities by the deities of her world. However, her patron happens to be the Lord of War and Strategy - and women were never supposed to be Champions of War. In order to survive in a world that would rip her apart, she disguises as a boy, training to fulfil her supposed destiny. But fate has other things in store for her. An ancient evil is rising - and only Constantine may have the power needed to fight it. Along with a brash warrior and a too-perceptive scholar, Constantine begins to unravel secrets of a prophecy foretelling the end of the world. Now, she must learn how to fight evil with nothing but a magical knife as well as powers she knows next-to-nothing of. The real problem though? She may have been the one to call the great evil in the first place. ************ Now a Wattpad Featured story!

"Our kingdom was once beautiful, but now the towers are everywhere. They say that Queen Rapunzel has lost her mind--and I believe them. Before, I might have felt sorry for her, but now I just fear her. I fear the sound of her soldiers pounding at the door, demanding that I be taken away. I fear the towers." Years after the original tale of Rapunzel took place, the kingdom--left to the grief-stricken Queen after her husband's death--is falling apart. People live in constant fear of the many terrible towers across the land, built by her Majesty's decree to imprison any who dare question her. Bird's nothing but a girl from the north, but when someone she cares about is taken by the mad Queen's soldiers, she'll stop at nothing to save them. With nothing but her friends, a sled, and a mind full of songs, she sets out to get rid of the towers, once and for all. DISCLAIMER: this is a retelling of the *ORIGINAL FAIRY TALE* by the Brothers Grimm and has no connection to Disney's version whatsoever. DISCLAIMER PART II: I wrote this book when I was 15 and am still in the middle of huge revisions that I haven't posted here yet! Please feel free to read, but keep in mind this is a work in progress. :)
