Elisabetta "Eliza" de' Medici is only 13 years old when she becomes one of the most important people in Europe. The death of her mother leaves her the heir apparent to the Duchy of Burgundy, and her father's inability to care for her after the death of his beloved wife makes her future uncertain. Many see the young Eliza as a pawn for political gain, but the strategic, smart, and compassionate girl is determined to make her own way in the world. Eliza is forced to confront reality however, when her father's parenting incapacity convinces him to send his daughter to England under the care of her great uncle, King Henry VI, and his wife, Queen Margaret of Anjou, where she is quickly made the heir to the throne by the childless couple. Doted on by the queen, and cared for by a distant cousin Jacquetta Woodville, Eliza comes to consider England her home and begins to love the people she will one day rule over. Everything changes just a few months later when King Henry falls ill with a serious illness. When the physicians claim insanity a new faction, one that is against her great aunt to the queen, take power. The new faction, the York's, quickly separate Eliza from the people she has come to consider her family as the king and queen are moved into virtual exile at Windsor Castle during his illness and Eliza is left in the care of people that she neither knows nor trusts. As Eliza is tossed into this complicated new world she must learn to navigate her feelings and decide her loyalties as her love for a certain York Earl and what she feels is best for the country, collide with the love of the family that she has known and the loyalties of her past.

There's something everyone is ashamed of. Many times it's the way a certain body part appears and other times it's a family member. The thing I was most ashamed of was how I wasn't enough for my own father, Sirius Black. He had lost me for years, but when the opportunity arose to have me back, he sneered and told me I wasn't enough. For that, I was ashamed of myself. I should have been ashamed about who had actually raised me. I'm not talking about my uncle, who loved me more then anything, but rather my stepfather, the man everyone was hiding from me. He was said to be an evil man, but he loved me, which had to make him at least slightly good. So why would I be ashamed of a man like that? -------------------------------------------------------------- Ivy Hamilton, known to her true friends and family as Ivory Black, had spent the better part of her summer prepping potion ingredients for her uncle, Severus Snape, as punishment for what happened at the end of her third year. However, it's time for Severus to return to Hogwarts and Ivy is heading to spend her last two weeks of summer break with the Malfoys. It was the perfect end to a somewhat boring summer. Or at least it was supposed to be. After the devastating events at the Quidditch World Cup, Ivy is left burned and scarred, with more questions then answers. Heading back to Hogwarts was the last thing she wanted, but there everything seemed right in the world with her friends by her side and her classes preparing her for a life outside the castle walls. At least it did until she laid eye on the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. With the appearance of the Dark Mark and her new professor, Ivy seems to be thrown into a darker world, one her entire family has been trying to hide from her.

HISTORICALLY INACCURATE: Based on Philippa Gregory "The White Princess" timeline, but AU: What if Richard III had a son before he was killed in Bosworth? Young Richard Plantagenet was brought up in court at the behest of his mother, Elizabeth of York, who claimed him as a bastard in hopes that her son with the previous king would be safe, but people knew it was not. Richard Plantagenet would always be a threat to the Tudors, but Jasper Tudor felt it was not right to kill a child, not when he can shape the young man, who looked so much like his late father, into a Tudor loyalist. Elizabeth Woodville feared for her grandson. Thinking that they had poisoned his mind, she sought to get the boy away from the Tudors. Richard was so much like his father. He was loyal, just and people support him. Margaret Beaufort may cut off his father's affinity, isolating the boy, but that doesn't mean no one can get to him. By sparing him, Elizabeth of York agreed to marry Henry Tudor. At what cost? Not able to acknowledge her son, Richard in public. Jasper Tudor took the child in and educated him the same way he did to Henry. Margaret, however, disagreed and hoped the boy to just..., disappeared. As he grew older, Richard learned more and more about his father, but he knew better than to listen to the Tudor propagandas. He was smart and careful whenever he's in court. Being one of the York princes, Elizabeth of York wondered. Would her son will be able to marry and have a family? She knew Richard had been on his own and she prayed he would be married and happy. From birth until his last breath, Richard Plantagenet lived his life, fighting for freedom and the love he wanted, refused to be subjected under Tudor's boot. Will Richard serve Tudors in obedience? Or will Richard fight to earn his rightful place as king?

If that wasn't bad enough, her exam results are in... and they aren't good. But at least she has her friends. Asher, the responsible and strong boy who has known her all her life and Ed, the orphaned rebel who loves to stir up trouble. Then there's her, Marla, stubborn, fiery and just plain lost. Life on the estate is same-old same-old, until the senile World War Two veteran, Mr. Pelham, starts freaking Marla out with his staring and rambling, cryptic messages. Is he trying to warn her? Or hurt her? When the bored trio decide to teach the creepy old man it's rude to scare young girls, they learn far too late just how crucial it is to respect your elders. For his daughter, Bridget, has a power unlike anything they've ever seen before and she uses her deadly craft to send them to a place that will teach them the lesson of their lifetime.

Marla soon learns what it really means to be a True, and the power her absent father has kept from her all her life... Marla, Ed and Asher are thrown into a world they and their generation have no comprehension of, a world where love is a relic of a life left behind and your only duty is sacrificing all that you have. These three friends are about to learn about a side of World War Two that never made the history books. ***I can't take credit for the artwork, it's called A BREAK IN REALITY and it's by the AMAZINGLY talented Xenobyte on deviantart.
