A blacksmith's apprentice who would be a knight. The heir to the throne, at death's door. One woman who would save them both, if she could...

Charlotte was number sixty-four in the second group of young, hopeful maidens intended to meet the Prince at a grand ball in his honor.

That introduction was not to be.

She returned home to her tiny village- and her visions of a future limited by it- without any warning of the drastic turn her life was about to take. 

Soon she would be fighting against the odds to help keep a gravely wounded stranger alive; and waging war with her own heart, as he stirred feelings in her she'd never known.

When the stranger's royal identity is revealed, Charlotte is faced with an entirely different battle: one to keep her family, village, and the injured Prince in her care all safe from a madman set on taking the throne by any means necessary.

To keep the peace she must follow the plan set out for her and marry the Prince, play her part and ask no questions. She could learn to love him and conform...or not, but most importantly, even if she grows to love him, can she trust him? And even if she trusts him, is his family really the ones in control? *This story is somewhat my own origin story of how the traditional werewolf stories came to be. In the beginning, there was one Alpha and one alone...and in the beginning, he created them all in his image.* *Takes place in Medieval Times*

Cinderella by DawsonKydd
26 parts Complete
In this retelling of a classic tale, Mariette struggles through life with a stepmother that hates her. When she is whisked away at the prince's ball, she begins to believe that her life is going to change-that is until the prince discovers that her slipper is a perfect fit for her stepsister. Fighting the urge to confess her secret, Mariette and her family move into the prince's castle, where old friends-and fiancés-are reunited. Note on Setting: This takes place in a kind of fictional France (hence many of the names, though they speak English). Postscript: "Lady" is a title given to woman married to a man with an estate, much like "Queen" is given to a woman married to a man with a castle. "Mistress" is given to a woman yet to inherit an estate, though of high-class breed (one would not refer to a beggar or maid as 'Mistress'). Monsieur (pronounced Mi-syur, despite the spelling) is a title given to a man that has yet to or has inherited an estate.

When the king of Isalgia falls mysteriousely ill, his only son, Prince Isaac, takes it upon himself to find the cure which lies in the Enchanted Forest.
