The unknown is no sort of a nurturer, but for Kadlin Hjalmarr, immersing herself in the unknown was the only way to escape her murderous and estranged father. Born sick and believed to be a reincarnation of a monster slain long ago, Kadlin has been alienated by her family her whole life, so after a great tragedy occurs, she takes it as an opportunity to seek the world beyond her remote home.

Join Kadlin as she fights monstrous beasts, topples empires, conquers in battle and perhaps the hardest thing of all: learning to forgive her father and her family for all they have done to her.

24 parts Complete
COMPLETE #1 in Fantasy #1 in Adventure #1 in Historical Fiction ---------- Sometimes, believing helps us to see truth. Other times, we need a little evidence to believe. But there is truth behind everything; every false manoeuvre, ever little lie...a small piece of truth is hidden. Just like truth is wound into legends too. Growing up best friend to the future King, Arabelle never really thought her life could go wrong. Whenever she wanted something, or needed something, she would get it. Then she lost her father at a young age and Arabelle was forced into a world of dresses, balls, and lies. Being a tomboy, Arabelle would have rather been out on her horse doing archery practice with her brothers. When Arabelle gets curious and sneaks into a forbidden area of the castle, she discovers a deadly secret: her bloodline is sacred, dating back to a legend surrounded by the one thing she knows not to be true. Unsure what to do, she gets caught up in a series of events that lead to her being hidden and whisked away from the only familiar place she knew. After making some unlikely allies, Arabelle sets off on a journey to find the legend of the last dragon egg. Fate has something big in store for her; will she be able to withstand the pressure of it all?There is one thing Arabelle needs to learn to survive this new place... Some things are more than a legend. ---------- © Isabella Espe 2013 - 2019 This is a work of fiction.

21 parts Complete Mature

They were sent away to be fixed broken teens from broken places, dumped on a remote island for "rehabilitation." But the plane crash was only the beginning. Aika doesn't fall apart. She builds. She fights. She protects. Especially the haunted boy with a wounded leg and eyes like storms Ash. Together, they carve out a fragile safety. But the island isn't empty. Something watches. Hunts. Whispers. When members of their group vanish, return changed or don't return at all Aika realizes this isn't a survival camp. It's a trial. A test of bloodlines and brutal choices, run by people who call themselves family and gods. And winning means immortality. Losing means losing everything including the ones she swore she'd never leave behind. But Aika has a secret. One she doesn't even remember. And someone is willing to tear the world apart to get her back.
