Loosely based off the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a 1900 children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It is the first novel in my version of the Oz series of books. *** The first tale in my adaption of the fantastical Oz series by L. Frank Baum. My adaptation of Baum's first book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," remains faithful to the original narrative structure, while introducing captivating modifications to the storyline, origins of certain characters, and the fusion of select chapters. In crafting this rendition, I sought to pay homage to the rich tapestry of Oz adaptations that have graced our screens over the years. Notably, I drew inspiration from the iconic 1939 MGM classic and its enchanting Disney 1985 semi-Sequel, "Return to Oz," as well as the beloved "Wicked" series, SyFy's enthralling "Tin Man" miniseries from 2007, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and the captivating Oz episodes of "Once Upon a Time." To breathe life into the pages, I decided to create live-action illustrations for the book. I used a mix of the MGM Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz (1985), and other Oz adaptations to create the visuals.

A modern BL telling of the classic story of Cinderella.

Well, well, well. Did you miss me? I can spot a couple of new faces lurking in the back, so I suppose introductions are needed. I'm Kalliope Aoidós, a Book Jumper, and thanks to my family's spectacularly inconvenient curse, I've once again found myself trapped in an adventure. The odds of dying a horrible death? Alarmingly high, as usual. Just the way we like it. What can I say? I have standards. In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings. A land in turmoil cried out for a hero. No, wait. That's Xena. I love the drama but we need one or two adjustments. Let's try again. In a time of the Cauldron and the Mother, of High Lords ruling their courts, deadly bargains, and the King of Hybern brooding over conquest and destruction, the fae people cried out for a hero to spare them from slaughter and an absolutely catastrophic plotline. At last, there came Kalliope, the mighty Book Jumper, forged in the heat of stories and questionable narrative decisions. Power struggles, reckless passions, political schemes, betrayals, ancient secrets, suspiciously attractive enemies, and enough emotional damage to keep therapists employed for centuries, all would be met with relentless sarcasm by the one woman who alone had the power to change the world. Over the top? Absolutely. But read my adventures first and then tell me with a straight face that I oversold any of it. Copyright 2026 AnemoneMarino. All Rights Reserved.

The mansion was never abandoned. Everyone in Blackthorn Hollow knew the story. Hidden beyond the forest and swallowed by endless storms stood a forgotten estate no one dared approach. Some claimed it was haunted. Others swore something far worse lived within its walls. Ophelia never believed the rumors. Until the night a violent storm drives her through the mansion's gates. What begins as a desperate search for shelter quickly becomes a nightmare when she discovers she cannot leave. Trapped inside the sprawling estate with its mysterious owner, Ophelia finds herself at the mercy of Victor-the cold, arrogant man who seems to know far more about her than he should. Beautiful and terrifying in equal measure, Victor guards countless secrets behind his sharp tongue and endless walls. The most dangerous one? He's the beast that surrounds the legends of the manor. Exiled centuries ago for defying his own kind, Victor has spent years alone, cursed to watch the world move on without him. He has no interest in a stubborn human who constantly challenges him, disobeys him, and somehow finds a way beneath the defenses he's spent lifetimes building. But legends speak of something called a Fate. A bond so rare it occurs only once in a vampire's existence. A soulmate. And according to every ancient law Victor has spent centuries trying to forget, Ophelia is his. As strange feelings begin to grow between captor and prisoner, shadows lurking beyond the estate awaken. Ancient enemies are searching for something hidden within the mansion's walls, and Ophelia may be connected to it in ways neither of them understand. Now, Victor must choose between protecting the human who has become his greatest weakness or losing the only person fate ever intended for him. Because some monsters are born. And some are created by love.

But a forced reconciliation program obliges us to do the unthinkable: spend entire days together and pretend to be friends in front of the coach. The harder I try to stay away from him, the more he breaks down my walls. And on the ice, you know, a single second of distraction can cost you your career.

Good morning, I'm Kalliope Aoidós (yes, spelled like this: Καλλιόπη Ἀοιδός... pretty impressive, right?), Technical Account Manager at a company in... well, I'm sure you don't really need my CV for this. Let's try again. Hey, I'm Kalliope Aoidós, and I've got a little problem. Okay, more like an incurable, family-heritage problem. Technically, it's genetic-something my family has been conveniently passing down for centuries. One of my great-great-great-great-grandparents thought it was totally appropriate to insult his muse, calling her a "good-for-nothing" and a "sellout." How charming, right? Too bad that muse was THE Muse after whom I'm named. Apparently, she's not exactly the warm and fuzzy type. So why on earth do I have the honor of carrying the name of the one who cursed my entire family tree? Oh, that was my grandmother's brilliant idea. In a way, they "sacrificed" me to her by giving me her name, hoping it would change her mind about the curse. Spoiler alert: It didn't. So here I am, just like hundreds of my ancestors, stuck in the same lovely swamp. I'm a Book Jumper or, as my grandmother (who has a flair for dramatic epithets) likes to call me, a βιβλιοποδητής, which basically means "walker of books." And these are my stories. Or, more accurately, my delightful misadventures. Copyright 2025 AnemoneMarino. All Rights Reserved.

"Le storie sono sempre state così, Calliope. Vengono ricordati quelli che fanno più rumore. È così che va il mondo." Per secoli, Calliope ha vissuto all'ombra di questa certezza. Come Musa della poesia epica, il suo unico compito sul Monte Elicona è sempre stato quello di ispirare i canti gloriosi dei guerrieri, ignorando la scia di sangue e le lacrime dei vinti. Tra l'apatia immortale dell'Olimpo e le rigide geometrie imposte da Apollo, Calliope si sente prigioniera di un canone che celebra solo la distruzione, convinta che nessuno sarà mai abbastanza folle da sfidare le regole degli dèi. Finché, nel silenzio di una notte come tante, una corda vibra nell'etere. È l'invocazione di Lysandros, un aedo itinerante di ventun anni che non chiede la gloria di Achille o il bronzo di Agamennone. Lui vuole dare voce agli invisibili: alle donne rimaste a raccogliere le macerie, ai soldati terrorizzati, ai dimenticati dalla storia. Colpita da una curiosità a cui non sa resistere, Calliope infrange ogni divieto e scende nel regno dei mortali per incontrarlo. Tra passeggiate clandestine in riva al mare e segreti sussurrati a fari spenti, tra la Musa e il cantore nasce una complicità segreta e pericolosa. Ma la verità è un'arma a doppio taglio, e gli dèi non tollerano che un uomo osi guardare dietro il velo del loro potere. Quando l'eco dei canti di Lysandros inizia a far tremare l'Olimpo, Calliope si ritrova davanti a una scelta drammatica. Può una Musa proteggere un mortale senza condannare se stessa all'oblio?
