"No promise me Willow, and when the time comes you won't be afraid, and know that I'll always be right here when you need me." - Yvette.
Living in a world that's divided up between the four elements which needs to be kept balanced, seventeen-year-old Willow Ivaleen lives in one of the kingdoms controlling these elements being your typical idea of a princess - or so you would think. She's never actually been the type of girl to follow the rules.
Just after Willow's seventeenth birthday, her father orders new suitors to be presented almost every month. This idea doesn't agree with Willow as she doesn't like the idea of being forced into marriage, especially if it's with a guy who doesn't understand her. But the problem is, she has to be married before her eighteenth birthday. Still this doesn't go down well with her, followed by her father's eagerness of marriage. Her interests are more elsewhere, out in the woods or down in the training arena with her friend Taylor.
However, when dreams start to invade her mind and warnings her aunt keeps hinting at her, sends Willow's mind wild, how can she follow her father's idea of a future for her when there's something else waiting for her? With a life waiting beyond the walls of Ivna and questions that need to be answered, Willow sets out to find them but she finds that not everything is how she imagined it would be. Instead the quite opposite.
With magic, pain and danger along this adventure, will Willow be able to keep her friends close and help the ones she loves? Or is there a chance that she might lose them all forever?

How much can she get away with? And how much will she lose? When the evil isn't as simple as she thought and the world isn't following a specific plot, how can she encourage repair? Is the past really so simple and plain as it's been told? If not, how will everyone move forward from the haunting past of MoonCaster looming over every shoulder? Could anyone really forget the damage done by merciless teeth? The action in this story progresses as the plot does!

Dragon Blood
"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer.

His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)
The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists.
