Carliona Ransom was born into a fairytale. A beautiful princess with kind parents, only semi-obnoxious siblings, and a thriving country, Liona should've had a life you read about. That is, until the invasion. The Rhystians came, and when defeat was imminent, little Liona was whisked away by a servant, and her family captured by King Milos. After sixteen years of waiting and watching, little Liona is not so little anymore, and willing to do anything to free her family and her country from the grip of its indolent ruler. The only question is this: What does it take to ransom a king?

Defiance. Resilience. Those are the traits that are not appreciated from the lower class. Keep you head down, keep quiet, and do your job. That was all that was expected and wanted from you. But what happens when one very quiet rebellion, and one very loud one, come together? Unlikely allies band together, which leads to a chain of events that no one has anticipated. One small action, that's all it takes. A/N: This story is partly fantasy. Nothing supernatural introduced, but it was all created in my mind and has no link to any time in history in particular. Also, this story was inspired by a story I wrote as a young child (8-10) and I was seemingly incredibly morbid at that age (of course altered and expanded, as my idea was rather simplistic).Complete
Athena's Curse
In a kingdom where obedience is demanded and women are raised to serve, power belongs entirely to men-and punishment for disobedience isn't rare, it's expected. Here, silence is survival. Consent is irrelevant. And to step out of line is to risk everything. Athena Mae Kahn was raised to follow the rules, but she's always questioned them. Quietly. Carefully. With a fire she keeps buried beneath practiced smiles and polite nods. She dreams of change-of a world where women are free to think, speak, and live on their own terms. And when she's unexpectedly chosen by the crown prince to be his bride, she dares to hope that marriage might be her way in. Her chance to challenge the rot from within the palace walls. But Prince August did not choose Athena for her ideals. He chose her for her bloodline. Her beauty. Her silence. To him, she's a symbol-something to possess, shape, and control. Becoming queen will not grant Athena influence. It will trap her in a golden cage with a man determined to tighten the chains around every woman in the kingdom. Now, Athena must decide: will she become the docile wife he demands? Or will she risk everything to ignite the rebellion she's only ever dreamed of?

Enchanted
She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."Complete
