The Gifted, humans with unique abilities to affect the world around them, have all but become extinct thanks to the dark reign of a usurper. And somehow Zephyr Elvy has managed to live her nineteen years in the blissful quiet of a small town next to the sea. Zephyr has always been content to keep to herself, and happy to live a simple, if uneventful, life. If only the universe had that in mind for her. Forced to flee the only place she has ever called home, Zephyr finds herself running through a world she has only ever read about, along with two soldiers who have deserted their posts to keep their consciences clean. With only a letter and a mysterious weapon as clues to why she's being hunted, Zephyr must face her own fears while discovering a whole new world of terrors at the hands of a queen she knows next to nothing about. Having never risked anything her entire life, Zephyr is forced to choose between apathy or action, hiding and keeping to herself, as she has always done, or taking a leap that could change the world she is just now getting to see. ***** Thank you SO MUCH for reading!

This stranger brings a dangerous gift for her father: the Sphere of Truths, one of the ten World Artifacts, created by the gods themselves. As the Shah sinks deeper into his obsession with the Sphere, Inna starts experiencing visions about a thief stealing another Artifact, the Amulet of Doom. A deathly curse is bound to the Amulet, and its theft will set in motion a series of events which might destroy Primsharah for good ... and the world along with it. Together, Arran and Inna flee across the desert to find out who is stealing the Artifacts and why. But Arran's time is limited as the curse flows through his veins, with no hope for salvation save for the stubborn princess who is determined to see his survival.

**COMPLETE** Love, Hatred, and Jealousy. Three words, empowering words that go around the world day after day including the Kingdom of Moonhaven. The Princes of Moonhaven are hated by their people yet loved by some. Hated because only some believe one should rule and loved because of their looks. However due to this they hate their Kingdom just as much and believe they will never find love in their Kingdom. Or so they thought. Rowan McKinely is just a farm girl who believed she would inherit or work on family farm for the rest of her life. She is even one of the many who hates the Royals but for a different reason. She believes they are stuck up and only care for themselves. She thinks that they need to change their ways or end their monarchy. At least until a certain someone catches her eye and makes her feel breathless. Will Love conquer all? Will the Hatred in the Kingdom come to an end or will something or someone fuel its fire? Where is the Jealousy in the Kingdom and Who do the Princes and Rowan fall for? ***USED TO BE CALLED MY TWIN PRINCES*** **** Please bear with me, this is my first story. I have been told I have good ideas and should write a book. Not only that I have been inspired by my bff @02Trash, to write my own book. I would like comments to see whether you like this book or not but it's your choice to do so because I would like to edit my book. Plus like it said in the tags their will be kidnapping in the book. Just because there is kidnapping does not mean I will do abuse and if I do decide to do abuse it does not mean I will describe it. We all know what happens. There will also be no mature content.
