Stories are written by the winners. Winners who never fail to paint themselves in a 'favorable' light. I've been called evil. Twisted. Strange. Heartless.

All fair assessments; I dispute none of these claims. In fact, I hold my head high while confessing to the evil, twisted, strange, and heartless things that I've done. The things, those ignorant of the truth, would condemn. But all people are capable of all things under the right conditions, good or bad.

Don't believe me? I dare you to read my story and tell me if you would have--could have--done things differently.

One of your most beloved fairy tale classics retold. Get all sides of the story.

Now, wealthy videogame designer Steve Bernard wants her to model for a princess character in his new game.

When she enters its doors, she awakens dark powers that will reach through time-stealing her past, torturing her present, and rewriting her future. 1415...

|| WATTYS 2021 SHORTLIST || The day Olivia Byrne met Benjamin Cross, her day was going almost to plan... until he showed up. But it also could have gone so many different ways. In her summer holidays between university terms, Olivia finds herself lost in the library, researching all sorts of creatures for her latest writing project. The last thing she expected was to find love amidst the shelves filled with fables, myths, and fairytales. But lurking behind Benjamin's dreamy blue eyes lies a secret that Olivia may not be prepared for. Jumping head first into the world of vampires, witches, fairies, and shapeshifters, Olivia finds herself in a battle to become the hero of her own story, or to succumb to her past and be, forever, vulnerable. Will Olivia's journey through magic, love, friendship, and heartache see her story become one immortalised in fairytales? Or will her story belong in the pages of cautionary fables?
