Matriarch Stories

At ninety-two years old, Madam Lin Yue died peacefully. She had survived famine, betrayal, political struggles, and the rise and fall of countless families. Even the Emperor valued her opinions, while her children and grandchildren both loved and feared her. She thought death was the end. Instead, she opened her eyes in a completely different world. Now she is An Xiaoran, a young woman forced into a marriage of convenience by the adoptive family that raised her. Everyone believes she is weak. Everyone believes she is naive. Everyone is wrong. While others see a twenty-two-year-old bride, only she knows the truth. She has already lived an entire lifetime. As schemes unfold around her and hidden truths about her origins slowly emerge, Lin Yue must build a new life in a world that knows nothing of the legendary woman she once was. After all... Some wisdom can only be earned through ninety years of living.

Book one of the Fairchildren of Saint Giles: Maisie Fairchild and her sisters grew up at The Elms--raised by a cadre of strong and independent women including two respectable widows, a well-liked spinster and a scandalous former opera-singer. Maisie Fairchild, the oldest of the sisters, is fast approaching spinsterhood. She is unbothered by her lack of "prospects," because Maisie's goal is to follow in the footsteps of Miss Farrows; she wants to remain single and make an independent living as a music instructor. Thomas Crawely is left with nowhere to go but a crumbling estate in an unheard-of fishing village when his brother dies, leaving him with a mountain of debt. Marriage is the furthest thing from his mind when he meets Miss Fairchild, but from the time of their uncomfortable first meeting, Crawley cannot stop thinking about her.. Author's Note: I wrote this book a few years ago... taking it out again so I can polish it up. I plan to post updates once a week on Friday or Saturday. Comments and votes always welcome!

How would you rebuild something precious that's been broken? Would you start again from the very beginning? It's been eighteen years since the bloodiest war the kingdom of Belleverre has ever known. The country and its people were decimated by its former ally, the Kingdom of the Gold Mines. For eighteen years Queen Ana has been rebuilding and securing the country and raising her daughter, the beautiful and stubborn Princess Belissima, to one day rule. It is now four weeks until the Princess turns eighteen - two years into her adult life and of an age to take the throne in her own right. But is she willing to do what she must to strengthen Belleverre's precarious position, and make an eligible marriage with a neighbouring kingdom? Or will the famously volatile Princess devise her own way, potentially ruining her beloved Belleverre in the process? This fantasy is inspired by Madame d'Aulnoy's classic fairytale The Yellow Dwarf.

With their queen, Idonia, they keep an unsteady peace with the superficial Pixies, but one wrong move from the most insignificant individuals could send this armistice crumbling down.
