action adventure diamond firstperson gem jewel journey keeper necklace package poison princess realms secret tribe war

Two little glittering stones, one onyx and one diamond--if they touch each other, creatures of pure energy will descend shrieking from the heavens to avenge an ancient wrong. And those are only two of the jewels that the Gemkeepers must guard, or else risk losing peace throughout the Four Realms. 

Anhia doesn't know any of that when she embarks on a journey to become a Gemkeeper herself. She also is not aware of the political chaos in which she is about to become hopelessly entangled. She'll have to mediate between enemy Gem Tribes or risk getting killed herself. Did I mention she also has to make sure the princess remains safe?

The Serpent Within by SakinaNasir5253

"Why did you kidnap me?" she asked straight away. "You will be safer here than anywhere else," was his curt reply. "Why?" her voice hinted fear. "Do I count this as your second question?" he asked raising an eyebrow. "I don't mind telling, but you will be left only with--" "No," she cut him off, getting irritated. "I have better ones to ask." That worked, phew, he thought. "Why did you care to know what I thought about love? You don't seem like a kidnapper to me." "Not everyone is heartless. My job is my job. Treating you harshly isn't a part of it. Unlike others, I do have a conscience. You believe in love, that's why I wanted to know what you think about it," he completed. ~~~~~ Princess Kyrah is unaware that she can shift into a serpent.

Dear Diary by the_mariest_marie

Dear Diary, I can't write to you as often anymore. There's a man here, he tells us we must be leaving our home. I don't want to go, but I don't have a choice. I believe this man. He tells us we are in grave danger. He won't tell us why, but I believe following him blindly is better than any future Hunter and I have here. We are not to talk any belongings with us, so I mustn't write to you often; only when Hunter and Xavier sleep. Our moments will be brief, but entirely worth it. We're traveling by foot across the land to the territory of our enemies. I'm frightened and I'm worried, but I know this will be good for us. I'd rather face the unknown than face the same day Hunter and I have lived ever since we arrived here. Do wish us luck, and don't fret over me. I will keep you in my heart and thoughts and I'll dance with you in my dreams. I love you, Diary. One day, we will be together. We're closer now than we ever were. Please be patient. Forever yours, Anabella ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover made by bree (theonlyninjasmurf) <3 Can never thank you enough! It's so beautiful!
