"Oh really? You'd be able to explain why you have balls on your chest rather than between your legs?"


---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 

When Prince Rowan's father is killed in an attack on a ride into the town, a special army is put together to fight the growing rebel army comprising of the older generation of guards that had served his father before him.

What he had expected was a band of men strong enough to bring down the towers of Einheim and not a bunch of green boys and the fiery haired lad with insane archery skills that hated his best friend with his guts.

What happens when he discovers the scandalous secret the young man is hiding? And his fear, not only because of the scandal it would bring, but also because they would face a danger that they most likely wouldn't survive.

What would he do when he would have to pick between saving the girl and letting his father's killer go?

Would he put aside his feelings for the girl or would he pick his heart over his kingdom?

---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 

When Joana's father volunteers to take up his sword and fight in the upcoming war against the rebels responsible the late kings death, her only option is to cut her hair and take up his place in his stead.

The only problem is: one, she was a girl with little training on sword play and two, how was she supposed to hide her identity as a girl in the midst of a solely male population with the Prince and his top General watching her every move?

---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---

When Ian's best friend and childhood companion asks him to join his special army, he had wasted no time jumping at the oppurtunity hungry for the taste of war. 

What he had expected was a band of strapping young men and glorious battles not the red haired lady who'd stop at nothing to be in the army even if it would cost her her life and his sanity.

Torn between protecting her secret and saving his best friends life, what will he do when they are tasked with getting the King back to Myonmar safely?

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.

[A/N]: Hey guys! Before I post this story, I was going to give a little insight. A very good friend of mine and I decided to write this book, and what better way to recieve constructive critcism than to share with everyone here on wattpad? I'm proud to say that we're nearly finished with it, around three to five more chapters need to be written. However, I will gladly post two chapters a week. Depending on the length, I could possibly split each chapter in two. Enjoy! -Skye & Jasmine My attempts to sleep failed miserably as realization hit me. Tonight was my last night unattached to someone. I swung my legs to one side of the bed. My bare feet brushed the cold floor and sent shivers up my spine. Scotland is much warmer this time of year. I took a few steps toward the window, but before I got too far I heard chatter just outside my door. "She’ll never be happy with him." The first voice, a female, was barely audible. "She could be. She’s just upset about Benjamin." A second voice, a man, replied to the woman. "She’ll never love Derick." A hint of anger played beneath the surface of the woman’s voice. I lay back down after that, so much for Emma accepting our marriage. Unhappiness coursed through my body and I became furious. I’d never love Emma either; with that I went to sleep. I dreamt of my mother singing in the castle, her voice was loud and demanding. Her words flowed so freely from her mouth and danced playfully down the halls. She was in the throne room singing to my father just as she always did. Her song was about the way she learned to love my father. Most marriages in Scotland are arranged, and due to our beliefs they have to work out. My mother had always been so madly in love with my father, but he was hesitant because he had to leave the woman he loved so dearly. So he let her go…

But trouble seems to follow them round every corner, and that was especially true when Harry got chosen to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. (Y/N) confessed to Shelena the year before about her crush on Harry, and the former was struggling to keep her feelings at bay, but is she willing to give up this crush that causes a rift between her, Ginny and Ron? Despite caring for Ron, (Y/N) and Harry deeply, Hermione knows she's got to choose between them this year when they get into a fight. But with more activities on her plate than ever, Hermione fears if and when her facade is going to crack. Ron would never admit that losing Harry as a friend was one of the worst times of his life. And when he thinks everything's gone back to normal, he finds out a secret that changes everything. Will either sibling be willing to put their own feelings aside and make up with the other? After three years of hiding, Shelena finally came out into the open about her true identity, daughter of Sirius Black. Things are even worse when someone reveals that she's related to Slytherin brat Draco Malfoy and hardly anyone stands by her. Shelena hopes this is the year she can separate her true friends from her fake ones. But will things end well for the five of them? Looks like you need to read to find out. So buckle up, and enjoy! *All characters and plot rights go to JK Rowling, except my oc's and changes in the plot*

What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world. The goal seems simple enough to accomplish: reunite two kingdoms to restore the world to its former glory. But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.

This book is for those who love slow-burn, chaotic, "how can they be that stupid," "about bloody time," wrench-your-heart-but-make-you-feel-so-good romances. Because what's life without a bit of drama, right? Throw in epic chaos, a princess on the run, and some evil bad guys (because every story needs a villain), and you've got a book that will keep you knee-deep in drama. If you've come here looking for your traditional synopsis, read on, my lovely readers. And if what you really crave is a mix of whump, smut, and rom-com with a side of catastrophe, then look no further-I've got you covered. __________________________________________________________________________ Proper Synopsis When a devastating attack reduces her home to ruins, Princess Sera's only option is to flee. Seeking refuge on Earth, she meets Matthew, the cocky, confident leader of the Allegiant Academy. Little does she know that the man she's starting to fall for is the same person who wields immense power-the one she dubbed 'Ace' and has been her bitter enemy since childhood. But hey, that's not exactly first-date material, is it? Nobody kicks it off with, "Oh, by the way, I have an alter ego who's a fiend-fighting, blood-killer type that hunts savages for sport." Right? As Sera tries to keep her princess status and crystal warrior identity under wraps, she throws herself into becoming someone else. After growing up in war, happiness doesn't just return-it sneaks up on you, like plants pushing through cracked concrete. But when her past comes knocking, threatening to undo everything she's painstakingly rebuilt, she'll quickly learn that truth has impeccable timing-and her destiny has the absolute worst habit of showing up when she least expects it. But seriously, what did she expect? When it comes to life, destiny, and fate, it's never really in our hands, is it? _______________________________________________________________________________

Once we are alone, he turns to me, "We need to work on your acting skills. How can a commoner be such a bloody awful liar? Don't you learn that when you are infants?" "Oh, I'm sorry I don't lie for sport like you lot! Last I checked, it's the ones with the sticks up their arses who are so brilliant with deceit and after seeing your performance I know it to be fact! I've never heard such shit! As though I hold any regret, for telling that fancy prat anything, ha" I call back. Now that we are alone, I no longer require restraints as I let my temper run wild. He does something that takes me by utter surprise. He literally grabs my lips and pushes them together. "Don't you ever shut this mouth of yours!" I move my hands to his chest, trying to pay no mind to the heat radiating from him and give him a great push, shoving him a few steps back in surprise. "Don't touch me! Agh!" I let out before taking a breath, and with a little less force I add, "the King bought it didn't he." "Barely," he grunted. My head snapped back at him, I was fuming. How could a man make me so incredibly angry with just a few words? This must be the great charm of the Prince, I hear so much about. #310 in Historical Fiction 10/2, #347 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 1/5, #291 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 5/18, #239 IN HISTORICAL FICTION, #232 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 6/23 #160 in Historical Fiction 1/29/18 , #131 in Historical Fiction 4/3/18, #121 in Historical Fiction 4/4, #108 in Historical Fiction 4/8, #89 in Historical Fiction 4/9, #87 Historical Fiction 4/13, #66 Historical Fiction 4/22, #60 Historical Fiction 4/25, ----- Currently going through some major revisions 1/27/2018
