Emma Sernine is a key figure in the Lyrell revolution. She's a close friend to the prince and his sister. And she's a strong minded duchess who worked through many nights to get to where she is now.

This is the story of the girl who stole her spotlight.

Jane Wilson wants nothing more than to live happy with her love, but a political issue stands between her white dresses and champagne. Having spent most of her adolescent life digging her father's dukedom out of it's debt ridden grave, she carved a reputation for her parents as irresponsible and money-addicted. But she is far from her father's daydream. Between maintaining a professional peace with her family and  managing a failing revolution, her dreams are drifting farther and farther away. Not to mention the threats made to overthrow her position growing each day. If she refuses to concede, she could lose everything. But surrendering, an option growing like a parasite in her mind, could very well mean the downfall of her people.

*Shortlisted for The Smoothie Awards 2021
**A/N: I'll be honest this entire book was written just for me. It was a very stressful exam month and I just wanted something stupid that didn't matter if it amounted to nothing. So yeah, don't worry if it doesn't make much sense. It's not meant to.

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira
77 parts Ongoing
[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

***This is book two in the Royally Series, You MUST read book one (Royally Sheltered) FIRST before reading this. If you haven't read that, spoilers will be in this description.*** Catherine Carter has done what no one, including her, thought she would be able to do. She's gotten past a lot of her anxiety issues, made some friends, fallen in love, and has been named the top student of the Royal Academy. She's the first in line to become the next queen of Alumbridge, and be married to the Prince. Except, the Prince and her have had a falling out because of the secrets he's hidden from her. While they had originally fallen in love, Catherine can't tell if any of the actions or words of affirmation have been real. And with him being in on the protest she started against his establishment, she's feeling like she's been betrayed. Four months later, the Academy is opening back up, and Catherine is as numb and emotional as she's ever been. She feels eager to go back to continue her protest and see her friends, but she's also scared to go back and face the Prince who she still has overwhelming feelings towards. As antagonistic forces loom in the distance, and Catherine's protest gets closer and closer to becoming an event, Catherine has to confront everything that she's come to know and believe so far. She has to confront both the past actions and past emotions that she's been putting off dealing with for the past few months. She has to figure out a way to work with the Prince, who she'd rather not see ever again, and deal with the revelations regarding him. But most of all, Catherine has to decide if she wants to continue on her current life path, or make a decision that will change the trajectory of her life forever.

❝The only kind of love I want is one where even if it is just for a short moment, it feels like I have lived a lifetime in that moment with that person. ❞ - Jhanvi Raichand. **You CANNOT read this as standalone. Read Dare to Be before reading this. Description ahead contains SPOILERS & will most likely be changed in the near future to reflect the book better** Heir & Heiress continues as your beloved characters find themselves in another bind. Aarav Raizada, the eldest of Raizada family, must find a way to save himself and his family from his dark past that threatens to rip away everything and everyone dear to him. At the crossroad to his happiness, the path he had chosen ahead does not seem to be as clear-cut as he had hoped. Jhanvi Raichand, the sole living heir to the Raichand royal family, does not have the luxury to fall in love and believe in happily-ever-afters with her life on the line. Enemies who are after her and her unborn baby's life will do anything to stop her from taking her crown and title. To make matters more difficult is Aarush Rawal, an army captain chosen to be her bodyguard. With his own share of secrets, a haunting past, and unclear motives, it is more important than ever that she learn where his loyalties lie and if she can trust anyone other than herself. Nothing seems to be going right for these Heir & Heiress even with abundant power, endless source of money, and unconditional love of a family at their disposal. As such, Dare to Hope is their journey to fight for their lives, to fight for love and mostly, for a chance towards their happily ever after - however it may exist.
