A romance blossoms between Juliette and Locke when she, a mortal, arrives in his rotten dying kingdom of Cardel but they always say the grass is greener on the other side. So what happens when she is pursued and eventually kidnapped by Perseus, king of a bright, healthy kingdom? Juliette must battle against the forces keeping her in the immortal world and her own complicated feelings towards both the men and fix the things that went wrong upon her arrival before time runs out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a short story based off of something I had to do as an English assignment in school. I do not expect this story to blow up or anything as it is just a silly little project that's been stuck in my head and I want to get it out so that I can continue to write my other books. One of them, my main one, is an extremely slowly updated one because I keep getting distracted and writing other books but I have come to recognise this and I want to finish it by the start of summer if possible. If not (it's probably not) I will extend that to the end of this year as I would love to finish it and be able to forget about it.

a world where princesses are bound by ancient law, every royal daughter must choose her future husband at the Ceremony of Gifts-selecting from treasures offered by princes across all kingdoms. Gold, jewels, crowns, and power are all laid before them... and the choice they make cannot be undone. Chloe of Aravelle was never meant to fit quietly into tradition. Born of a warm-hearted Armenian kingdom and raised with the gentle love of an English queen, she grows into a princess unlike any other-bright, free-spirited, and unafraid to speak truth even to those who wear crowns. She laughs too easily, helps those beneath her station without hesitation, and carries a softness the court often mistakes for weakness... until she proves otherwise. At the Ceremony of Gifts, while other princes present riches and grandeur, Chloe walks past them all. She chooses sunflowers. Not gold. Not power. Not status. Sunflowers-simple, stubborn flowers that always turn toward the light. And with that choice, she unknowingly binds herself to Prince Lucien of Velmora: a quiet, practical ruler of a small, overlooked mountain kingdom who believes he has nothing worthy to offer her. At first, Lucien assumes her choice is pity. But Chloe did not choose him for pity. She chose what she prayed for. What she recognized in a world of performance and politics. What she believed God placed in front of her. As Chloe settles into Velmora, a kingdom of snow and stone, she brings warmth where there was discipline, softness where there was silence, and light where there was only survival. But not everyone welcomes change, and not every court believes kindness belongs in a crown. And Lucien-reserved, guarded, and shaped by duty-finds himself pulled toward the one person who sees him clearly, even when he cannot see himself at all. Because in Velmora, love does not arrive loudly. It grows quietly. Like sunflowers learning to turn toward a different kind of sun.

The world ends in the middle of a school day. When a deadly virus spreads, Clover is forced to survive on instinct alone, learning quickly that fear can be fatal. She still hesitates, still hopes-but hope is dangerous now. Sawyer doesn't hesitate. He survives by making hard choices and living with the consequences, even when they follow him like ghosts. Trust is a liability, and attachment is worse. Two years later when their paths cross, survival comes first. Trust comes slowly-if at all. In a world that rewards cruelty, Clover and Sawyer must decide whether connection is a weakness... or the only thing worth fighting for.
