I'm The Princess's Twin?! (Lucas X OC)
"Who Made Me A Princess?" was a story which was for the Lovely Princess Athanasia. I loved as how she had gone through everything to survive, and after everything she had gotten a happy ending. I was very satisfied with reading that. But, what kind of moronic twist ended up placing me in that story as a character which was never portrayed in the story in the first place? The existence which was shrouded in darkness was suddenly brought to light and the story now took a very different turn because this character not only holds the key to the future but also has ties with the past. There's also a person from the past whom she has to keep a promise with and a revenge to exact. What will happen with Amara when she'll realize that she's someone who was supposed to be there in the story but because of Black Magic her existence was erased? She'd have to fight with everything in order to protect her sister and father from the conspiracy of the one who had killed her in her past life. But with her being the one in the center of the curse will she have her happy ending? All the characters belong to the original creator of "Who Made Me A Princess?" only the OC belongs to me. I hope you'll enjoy this fanfiction.Complete

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete
