Lady Aria of Li-Aval feels like a prisoner, with a magnificent manor as her cage. Her father hides her from the rest of the world because Aria has hair like strands of gold. Literally, her hair is gold.

When Aria's father tries to marry her off to an elderly man, she takes her deceased mother's necklace and runs away with her servant, Tina. They stumble upon Torenth, a city hidden behind a waterfall, and the Guardians welcome her into their castle like family. Lord Deric tries to win her heart, but Aria's eyes are on Owen, the shy blacksmith. 

When Aria finds out she is the next Guardian of Torenth according to a prophecy, she must figure out a way to keep her father out of Torenth. For if she cannot be the next Guardian, Torenth will be lost forever.

Note: I wrote this ten years ago when I was 14 so it is rather short! Only 24,000 words.

However I don't want to unpublish it because a lot of people read, have read, or somewhat enjoyed it and I don't want to neglect those who are not finished reading. SO, read at your own risk and be prepared for some errors :) Enjoy this creepy fan-made story about a stalker with curly brown hair and captivating emerald eyes. Much love, C.
