Agnes Showman is not your typical teen. She is not hated nor well-liked; she is not excluded yet not included. This is the result of her strangely quirky interests. When she is thrown back in time to 11th century Scotland, Agnes wonders if her peculiarities have gone a little too far. She is sent the Dunbroch Castle, where the King and Queen of Four Clans Kingdom rule. Though they believe her story is insane, and convinced she is not a spy of the Vikings, King Fergus and Queen Elinor welcome her into their home. Agnes quickly becomes best friends with Princess Merida and a favorite of the triplet Princes. Agnes is beginning to enjoy her adventure, despite wondering if she will ever return to Google and electricity, when Merida is transported to another era. Possibly to the 21st century. Now, Agnes must find the Witch that enchanted the boulder that transported her to Scotland in the first place in order to retrieve Merida-- or risk losing the people and country she has come to love. With the help of a wandering clan, Agnes goes on a journey she never thought she'd blaze. She'll have to kill people in order to live, she will have to do things she never even thought were possible to do and she will have to believe in magic that she thought only lived in books. When her journey comes to an end, Agnes finds she must choose between the life she has come to love and the life that is safer and much more familiar.

All eligible young women from the entire kingdom are invited to attend. Ella has but one desire left. She wishes to see the king's gardens one last time before she leaves home.

After the tragic death of her family and the destruction of her family's cottage, she is forced to move into a family friend's house where all she experiences is neglect and abuse. When her mom's oldest friend drills into Asmi's head "proper" manners, she is prepared to do just that: keep her head down and hide in the corners.

Joan
"I don't like to think of myself as this kickass, badass Lara Croft, no. But I try not to be your typical every day Jane Doe. So I where does that leave me? In the middle, I guess. So there. I'm just your atypical- yet completely ordinary- girl with a bloody crown. Yeah, that has a nice ring to it." At 14 years of age, Joan Domshov thinks she has it all figured out- well, mostly that is. Though her ducks may not always be in a line, she's pretty confident that if she's made it 14 years then she can make it 14 more without the world caving in on her. Oh how one can dream. Exposed to a new world with which she shares a closer tie than she knew, Joan realizes there's more beyond anything she's used to. But change is good. Unless it comes in the form of an eerily charming yet minatory king from the other side of Edalirwen. When her brother is taken by the king who seems to have a personal vendetta against her family's namesake, Joan will travel to the other side of a world that is rumored to be folklore. Regardless, Joan is certain she can prevail. But as her confidence is shaken and her perception about who she truly is starts to diminish, she'll be left questioning the person she once thought she was. Smartmouthed, snarky, and clueless to her obstacles, Joan will figure out whether she is a girl with a tainted past or something else entirely.Complete
A Time Traveling Fairytale
Fate leads those who are willing but must push those who are not. One might interpret this saying a bit too literal. After all, Elena did end up on the bottom of a hill in the middle of a forest, suffering several injuries. But do not worry, fate loves a rebel and has something magical stored for our sarcastic heroine. Time travel. An adventure in the 16th century was not something our main character had in mind, but when her path is built with music and joy, it can't be that bad, right? Oh, who am I kidding. . . At first glance, it seemed to be the perfect fairytale for our main character; being able to experience the medieval time and be surrounded by enchantment wherever she went. She even meets a monk, blessed with the gift of music, who shares her passion and is willing to teach Elena the secrets of the piano. It's perfect. But it was only the tip of the iceberg. Elena's piece of tranquility is broken when she stumbles into another mess, leaving her caged and alone in the forest. Fortunately for our heroine, a prince crosses her path, helping her in her need. One might see this as the Universe's way for entertainment, or the fate's bizarre tactics to bring people together. Whatever it might be, it did not stop Elena from catching the eye of the prince of a powerful kingdom. Before anyone knows what's even happening, they're caught in the middle of it all; like a cat trapped in a yarn. After all, even the stone you trip on is a part of your destiny. What happens when the Universe, and basically everything between hell and heaven, is against you? Simple: it's a journey filled with unforgettable events. So buckle up, folks, because you are in for a ride of pirates, songs, chases, jokes, and a broken soul. After all, there is no flying from fate.Complete
