Ella's story begins with a curse. Elsa's with a blessing.
They were twins, meant to be equal and the same. But after the casting of a rogue enchantment, Ella cursed with all the vices of the two and more, while Elsa is gifted with the virtues, becoming the epitome of perfection.
King Henry, their father, holds out much promise for Elsa, blessed and beautiful. For Ella, not so much. Flowers wilt when she comes close. Servants have died after brushing past her. Whisked away to a tower since she was twelve, she's desperate to escape.
But who's the cursed one, really?
Ella may be trapped in a tower, but she's wild and free. Elsa may be everything her sister never was, but she's trapped in a diabolical plan concocted by her father, a bird never meant to be free.
As Elsa sets out on a journey to complete her father's mission, and Ella meets someone with the potential to reverse the enchantment, both must embrace their identities, and fight to keep each other safe.

OUTLAWED
Elara, a young girl born into a broken world, where the royal family holds absolute power and mages-those with the ability to manipulate the elements-are hunted to the death. After witnessing the brutal murder of her father at the hands of the royal family, Elara's mother hides her daughter's identity, pretending to be the mage in order to protect her. But when the royal family learns of a new mage bearing a powerful mark, they arrive at Elara's home, and her mother sacrifices herself to save her daughter. With her mother's death haunting her and the royal family's forces hot on her trail, Elara flees into the woods, unveiling the magic she's kept hidden for years. In the depths of the forest, Elara discovers a hidden group of mages-boys and girls, families-each with their own elemental power: fire, water, earth, air, blood, metal, and ice. For the first time in her life, Elara is not alone. But her refuge is fragile. As the royal family intensifies its search, Elara must decide whether to stay hidden in the shadows or rise up with these newfound allies to reclaim her life and bring justice to those who destroyed her family. With vengeance in her heart, Elara's journey becomes a fight for survival, and a rebellion against the oppressive rule that has outlawed her very existence.

When Elara steps onto the palace floor, she believes she is only risking her freedom. But the moment Lucien touches her, his keen senses register a dissonance: a power so raw and chaotic it could destroy them both, yet it calls to him like a desperate prayer. He needs her strength to fight the darkness. She only wants to escape her shadow. But in a cursed kingdom, a terrifying question remains: Are they a fated pair, or are they a single disaster waiting to happen? ~~~ A twist on the classic Cinderella story.

Reincarnated as Dragon's Sacrificial Bride
Synopsis: Aeris had never known love. As an orphan, she had spent her life yearning for warmth, for a place to call home. When she finally found someone who made her feel wanted, she clung to the illusion, believing that maybe-just maybe-she was no longer alone. But that illusion shattered the day she saw her lover in the arms of another woman. "You're pathetic," he sneered when she confronted him. And with one cruel shove, he sent her crashing against the wall. Pain struck her like a bolt of lightning, and then-darkness. She thought it was the end. Instead, she woke up in the body of a breathtaking maiden with long, silk-like black hair. Her limbs were bound, her vision blurred, and before she could even comprehend what was happening, she heard the chants of a ritual. She was being sacrificed-as a bride to a dragon. The people around her whispered prayers, their eyes filled with fear. They were offering her to him-the mighty, fearsome dragon lord who ruled these lands with fire and fury. She wasn't just anyone now. She was the chosen offering-the bride meant for the Dragon King. A being of pure darkness, a ruler feared across the world. They said he was a monster, a black-scaled dragon with a presence so overwhelming that the very air trembled in his wake. He controlled the elements and wielded power beyond imagination. He was ruthless, merciless, and unseen in his human form. No one had ever escaped his grasp. And now, she belonged to him. As the sky darkened and the great dragon descended from the heavens, his massive wings casting shadows over the trembling villagers, she finally saw him. Glowing red eyes, burning like molten fire, locked onto hers-not with rage, not with hunger, but with something unexpected. Curiosity. Possession. Fate had given her another chance. But was it a blessing or a curse? ---Complete
