"How can I trust you?" "You'll have to learn." Isabella Magaroth was just a child when her new family arrived, though her tale was quite different than anyone could've ever imagined. Four years after her father's death, Isabella encountered the prince of the lands, Blake, and forced herself to shy away despite him clearly being interested in her health. In every tale, she had been made a maid, but in this tale, cruel unspeakable things happened in her household, and Blake vowed to his father that he would get her out at the right time; for if it was even a minute later, Isabella would've been murdered. The moment Ella followed Blake into the forest, she wandered into a new world that-even in the medieval times-was considered unreal; a world of witches and angels, magic and sorcery, and Prince Blake was the center of it all. For she had fallen for one of the fallen. *** This book is no longer a teaser! It is in progress as of Aug 26 2024!!!! (completed on October 11 2024) (Published 2022)
