Summer was supposed to mean sun, family, and fun...
...not undead warriors, mythical creatures, and trees that glow.
But that's exactly what 16-year-old Merelin gets.
Merelin's family has always been a little odd, but ever since her father disappeared four years ago, life has been pretty boring.
Then her world gets yanked out from under her.
Literally.
As if waking up in the desert of an alien world wasn't bad enough, the only person who sees her arrive is a fascinating - and infuriating - boy who calls himself Yatol...
...and tells her she carries the key that could save or destroy his world.
Can she trust his promise to help her survive, or should she walk away from his world-and the danger that threatens it-forever?
And if she fights...
...what price will she have to pay?

Reverie || Kit Tanthalos || Willow
When Princess Verania Hastur of Galladoorn has to go to Tir Asleen to attend to her brother's wedding, she thought it would be a one week trip at most. But then, all of a sudden, the Prince of Tir Asleen is abducted, and she finds herself on a quest to rescue him. On this journey, Verania experiences loss and pain, but also magic, joy, and even love like she never did before. A little rescue mission turns into so much more, and the little rescue team becomes like her family. One member, perhaps even more. --- Not captivating? Sorry, I tried my best. This story is yet to be edited, so you can expect some mistakes, typos, etc. After editing, there will probably be some minor changes in the plot as well since I'm not at all happy with it yet. It's not my best work.Complete
