Murderer. Tyrant. Psychopath.
Princess Helen murdered her twin sister at the age of two and dragged her corpse around the palace. Now she is forever labeled as the insane sister of the handsome prince, a disgrace to the family and the kingdom. She is constantly shunned and feared for something she doesn't remember doing. She was imprisoned for her whole life, never to have seen her family. After her mother is assassinated, she is set free to a hostile world in which she is seen as a monster.
But Helen doesn't have time to clear her name. She has a family to console, a kingdom to take care of, and a truth to discover.
TRIGGER WARNING: main character's backstory is very dark (murder), there is more murder in the story. Descriptions of violence and alcohol, some verbal abuse. No descriptions of gore, no sexual implications. No cussing. Generally readable for 13+ because the author is thirteen herself. If you've read Divergent or The Hunger Games, you can read this.
This is a first draft.
Started: No idea. Before Nov 9, 2020.

~old version, look at the other one~ Jasper is the typical prince you don't want to piss off; cold, unforgiving, and mysterious. He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless. He doesn't want to do anything about his boring life, for he believes himself far too lazy to achieve anything substantial. Unfortunately, all that changes when he is forced into a marriage with a lord's daughter, and his long lost brother suddenly resurfaces. As deeply buried emotions start to tug at his heart, how long can he keep up his 'facade'?

"Evangeline," He exhaled tightly, a thick vein bulging in his forehead as he shut his eyes tight, brushing his lips against her bare shoulder, his hold on his gun tightening as he held it in the arm he had wrapped around her torso. "Though this is fucking New Orleans, it will not be the police business, thieves or killers, or even dealers of dark magic, but you, who will be the death of me." ༄ 𝘼 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙛 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚. 1927. When the twenty-four year old Princess of Maldonia and a practicing witch, Evangeline Hamilton's, life is endangered upon the murder of her father, the elder Queen of Maldonia arranges for her sister to be sent to New Orleans for her safety where the Princess finds herself sentenced to living in secret. The New Orleans Police Department is charged to primarily guard the life of the Maldonian royal while protecting her identity, but things get personal when Evangeline comes across the adamant, stoic, infuriatingly closed off presence of Theodore Stanhope, the Chief of Police of the NOPD, who has dark secrets of his own. Further, when Evange stumbles upon an old empty antique journal, her spiritual life takes a turn for the worse when strange and horrifying occurences begin around her, opening connections with her father's murder and the darkness surrounding the closed off and intimidating Theo Stanhope, and that cursed journal. *[Disney's The Princess and the Frog AU, mature read; violence, eventual smut, horror, gore, slowburn romance, mental health. 18+ only please.]
