An arranged marriage, a bargain gone wrong, and Appalachian mountain magic combine to answer one question: Is it so terrible to want to be loved?

In 1929 Boone, North Carolina, marriage feels like Alice's only true ticket to a better life, and she is determined to make it happen for herself. When Xavier, a deer shifter and the King of the Shadow Fae, appears with a marriage contract arranged at birth and an apparent ardent infatuation with Alice, she believes her dreams have finally come true. 

However, the longer she stays in the Shadow Court, the more things seem out of place. No one can remember exactly how or when Xavier became the king, and Alice is the only person who seems to remember the existence of Xavier's mysterious twin brother, Florian. As she searches for answers to the mystery of Florian's disappearance and Xavier's rise to power, Alice must decide for herself what it means to love and be loved, and what it means to love someone enough to fight for them.

Follow Alice, Xavier, and Florian in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry.

BLOOD MARRIAGE is Book #2 in the Appalachian Magic book series.

Where Thou Art, That Is Home (Hetalia Fanfic, Part 2) by BookBird1497
68 parts Complete
Book Two, part two of the "Home" series. Alice Carlea Williams, our brave young state, has lost her memory again! To make matters worse, she's been shipped off to another dimension and wakes up in a hospital, where she's told she has amnesia. As if that wasn't bad enough, her counterpart is taking her place in her dimension, and Alice is slated to be wed to... Prussia? Holy god, what is going on. And Kadi... Poor Kadi. She's got quite a few magnificent skeletons in her closet. They're about to be thrown out into the open for everyone to see. Recurring sentences, the all-too-likely future, strange souls, and ancient history are about to become more connected than they've ever been. Are you strong-willed enough to make the journey? Because if you aren't, you just might not make it out alive... "You're needed elsewhere." "Yin and yang. Two halves of a whole. Both are connected. Both are balanced, until now, aru." Rated PG-13 for magic, swearing, one or two suggestive themes, bloodshed, multiple intense scenes, harsh reality, and fantasy. Your feels very well may not end up totally intact, fair warning. But you'll enjoy it all, every second. Read at your own risk, but please don't give up on this story. Like, a gazillion Hetalia AUs in this. And other things, many other things. A character death will be involved, and it's NOT Alice, believe it or not. I do not own Hetalia nor anything else I use or reference. What I own is meager: the plot, the OCs, and the work it takes to create this story. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you like what you read!
