The complete guide to stealing just about anything

People can say they're attached to their jewelry, but this is ridiculous!

Eya was once the daughter of a rich general in the king's army. Now she is none other than the Arowan - the one assassin chosen from a precious bloodline to protect the Royal Ramily. When her brother Aven died, she was taken away from her mother's care to an island across the horrendous Sad Sea - a place you rarely return from. She was taught the ways to protect and shield other lives with her own - and comes back a harder, darker version of herself. Prince Eric doesn't recognize her as the little girl he used to make laugh on the castle wall -- and Eya wants it to stay that way. If her prince turned all his charm on her, knowing who she was, she would be a goner. But as of now, with Prince Eric readying to take the throne, it is better to be his comrade and guard, to be the dark girl unseen in the shadows who knows everything about him, but he knows nothing. It keeps him safe from the jeopardy of falling for someone who will be gone eventually. Eya knows she must avenge Aven's death, but she doesn't know who murdered him, only that they were in the castle. Besides having to be on her guard and searching for clues of this person, she must also watch helplessly while her one true friend, Prince Eric, is being set up with all sorts of girls of royalty from every land around Faregothe. Eya is surprised by what the prince decides. At the same time, she begins to realize that the person who murdered her brother must have lived in the castle itself to slip past his notice and kill him. Now she senses the prince is in danger. Can she discover this hidden menace before its too late -- and can she save her heart from the same danger of falling for this prince, when she's supposed to be the dispensable one?

A story of Peter, an impoverished young boy struggling to survive in the dense urbanising environment known as London. With no one to support nor help him, his capability for survival is diminished. However, Peter meets a certain girl who will change his life forever. Author Note: This story is not wholly historically accurate. Gelato stores did not exist in London in the 19th century, but regardless I am proud of this work and hope you have as much reading it as I did writing it!

The life of a thief is hard, but glamorous. With enough money, even the lowest-born citizen of the shining jewel of Voughtberg can carve out a comfortable niche, enjoying the silent prestige that comes with it. The watchmen doff their hats at the masters, and after nights of derring-do, they retire to their hidden beds, and beautiful men and women. Or so Roland and Jochim have heard. Unfortunately, they're still stuck doing whatever task is assigned to them by their miserly employer. Whatever pittance they are gifted has to be supplemented by mundane work under the burning sun, shoulder to shoulder with the sweating masses of the city. These, however, are the necessary burdens for the future they desire, burdens that have been shouldered by generations of thieves. Certainly, nothing so capricious that the accidental theft of a simple paintbrush could disturb it... Imagine the surprise when after its discovery, they are pursued by strange men, and stranger monsters, intent on their death, and the brush's retrieval. With only their wits, and the help of a few friends, the pair of thieves are thrown into a struggle to find out the mystery of the strange artifact before they, or the life they cling to, are lost forever.

Ivy Nora has made a living on the streets of the Ikra, an unkind desert city, through a life-long career of thievery, the funds of which she puts towards her true love: art. Recently, she's found company with a contemporary by the name of Vesper Morna, and together they've spent six months together pilfering from the pockets of Ikra's richest.

As the city watch begins to make a target of them, and the thieves work to escape their descending blades, Ivy has an unexpected encounter with Ikra's baroness, who is far more strange and sympathetic than Ivy would've thought.

What if everything that you have known or aspire to know wasn't real? What if everything you have been told was a lie? If those qualifications describe you, then you're just like me. Maybe, exactly like me. Maybe you were born somewhere besides a comforting hospital, or maybe a home. Maybe somewhere that no one has heard of, or wants to know of. Maybe the image or simply the thought of where someone like me was born is too unbearable. It is for me. Where I come from there is not a speck of love, not a hint of trust throughout the empty streets. Where I come from is far worse than hell. My untold stories are absurd, and something nobody dares to know.
