They both live "their" life for the sake of others. They hate it. They want to break free from their "obligations" and "duties" and finally see the world around them in their own perspectives. Sharon is a "puppet", and Eldon lives in a "cage". But they both have a voice... loud, obnoxious, and persistant ones.(summary continued)
A chosen girl who 'brings miracles', is just a puppet to Worshipers. She says whatever they tell her to. She acts the part of an innocent, defenseless, goody-goody. But beneath the deception she has a voice.
The only heir to a throne. A prince. He can never leave the castle, or ever see beyond it, for his 'protection'. He's adventurous and wants to see the world. These two both want to escape, but they will need each other to do it.

Avalon Isn't What It Used To Be
My mother says my endless curiosity and my need to venture is a curse. Though, I know she only says that because I'm just like my father; who went out to curb his appetite for new experiences and never came home. Do I feel abandoned? No. How could I? Not when I fully understand the craving... Fae almost never leave Avalon. It's rare, and normally Fae that leave Avalon are forced into exile. Hardly ever do they leave voluntarily. My mother hates to see me leave, and a part of me is ashamed to do so, seeing as I'm basically abandoning her like my father. But she has my baby brother, Almned, who isn't even 500 yet. And I'm one penalty away from serving time in the Avalonian Guardhouse. Which is ridiculous, considering I have only broken a few rules. Avalon used to be a vast place of freedom, a sanctuary for persecuted Fae, the Homeland where everyone had a voice. Well... Avalon is not what it used to be... Maybe the Otherworld will be big enough to spread my wings. *** What happens when a Fae leaves Avalon and befriends a Human? Yes, my book is rated mature. Though, it really isn't THAT bad. I really tried to keep it clean. Also, this is a part 1. Part 2 will come eventually.Complete

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try."

The Trials of the Crowned Heart
I was born to wear a crown but never to choose my own fate. They say the trials are tradition. That six princes fighting for my hand is how peace is kept. But I know better. These halls reek of secrets. My father won't meet my eyes, and my future is being bartered behind closed doors. And then he arrived. Prince Malric. The dark one. The uninvited one. The one whose kingdom was never supposed to exist. The moment I met him, I knew: the danger isn't the trials... it's the truth no one dares to speak. They want me silent. Obedient. Married off like a pawn on a game board. But I've never been good at playing by the rules. So if they won't tell me what he's really here for, I'll find out myself. Even if it means sneaking through shadows, breaking royal law, or letting my heart betray me. Let them try to control me. I am not a prize.![The Cursed Throne [Under Revision]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/388744256-256-k730303.jpg)
The Cursed Throne [Under Revision]
Bound by chains, haunted by a curse, and trapped in a palace of shadows. When a tyrant king claims that she is the reincarnation of his treacherous queen, Elara is torn from her life of anonymity and thrust into a world of power, manipulation, and danger. The king demands her loyalty, but his motives are as dark as the curse that plagues his throne. In the gilded halls of the cursed palace, she discovers secrets that could shatter the fragile line between love and hate. As their deadly game of power escalates, she must decide: Will she destroy the king to save herself, or surrender to the darkness that binds them both? The throne demands blood. The curse demands sacrifice. And her heart may demand something far worse. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of emotional manipulation, toxic relationships, dark romance dynamics, and morally gray characters. Reader discretion is advised. DISCLAIMER: I know the names change around chapter 15 or so, I don't know what was going on in my head. I'll revise it as soon as possible. Just picture Liora and read Elara instead. I'm really sorry!Complete
