Trapped by Destiny by kahleybookwell

I want freedom. This can't be what my life is like. I need a change. I stood up from my place on my bed to move to my balcony. I could see the entire kingdom from here. But I knew I wasn't the one in charge. For some intolerable reason, I cannot rule over the world I've known for years. I grew up in the Kingdom of Alathia. I'm the princess for gods sake. But my father believes I am unfit to be a king since I am a women. So I have to marry. All my life he has told me what to do. Him and my mother!"

While trying to accept her future, she is faced with unholy nightmares, a test of dignity, and a double life to have even the slightest chance of freedom. Would she be able to create her own destiny? Would she eventually have the freedom she longed for? Or would a thief ruin her chances completely by striking a deal and making her face a fate worst than the destiny she was born with?

Meanwhile, Princess Serafina, heir to the throne of Primsharah, welcomes an unusual suitor in the royal palace.

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.
