History! The word itself whispered of untold tales, of civilizations risen and fallen, of heroes and villains, of triumphs and tragedies. It was a siren song, enticing and fascinating, pulling Sana Arora into its depths. The unbelievable stories, the slow, inexorable evolution of the world from dust to the present day - this was the very air she breathed, the blood in her veins. Sana, a student of history, didn't just study the past; she lived it, breathed it, became a part of it. She delved so deeply into her research, so completely immersed herself in the lives of those who came before, that the lines between observer and observed blurred. The weight of history pressed down on her. How could she, a young woman in the 21st century, possibly react, act, think, and behave when the narratives she read, researched, and analyzed suddenly and unexpectedly included her? The past wasn't a static collection of dates and names; it was a living, breathing entity, reaching out to touch her own life in ways she couldn't have imagined. Prepare yourself for a wild, exhilarating journey with Sana Arora. This is not a simple academic pursuit; this is a madcap adventure, a whirlwind exploration of the undiscovered. As Sana navigates the tangled threads of history, she uncovers not just forgotten facts and figures, but hidden truths that resonate with her own existence, challenging her assumptions and altering her understanding of the world - and her place within it. Turn the page and embark on a ride filled with surprises, revelations, and the kind of exhilarating fun that only history, when truly engaged with, can offer.![The Dragon's Heir [Beta][Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/4280724-256-k527067.jpg)

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.

As mysterious rituals resurface, his young daughter begins speaking in voices not her own, and whispers from the past demand a choice: break the chain of inherited trauma, or watch it consume everyone he loves.

Because this man - this Enemy awakens something fierce, primal and irresistible within her. A raging fire that not even his icy world can extinguish. She hates what he is. She fights what she feels. But his possessive touch? His quiet claim? They break apart her defences, piece by piece He will never beg for her love. She will never admit he's winning it.

Until a lark starts visiting her, leaving behind exotic flowers and iridescent pebbles that the internet doesn't recognise.

When a magical force summons Esmera and Tauram to Milatanur, the hidden kingdom that is their home, they have no choice but to answer the call. Soon, it is not their decades-long betrothal that binds them but feelings they must ignore for the sakes of their fractured pasts and precarious futures. Around them, nature rebels under the unjust rule of a cruel sorcerer, threatening to engulf Milatanur. The formidable King Ruagu has spies everywhere, and those who aren't on his side turn to it out of fear. Loyalty will rot into betrayal, blood will be paid, and Esmera will be presented with her destiny to wield a weapon of unparalleled power. But only if she can elude her dark past long enough. *** Cover by @-DeeIsDead-Complete
