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.

Married To The Shadow Princes
In ancient India, a kingdom faces destruction when their raja makes a deal with dark forces to save his people from drought and famine. The price: his daughter must marry the son of the Asura King-a being of immense power who rules the shadow realm. The princess believes she's being sacrificed to a monster, but discovers her husband-to-be is far more complex than the legends suggest. He's bound by ancient curses and political machinations in his own realm that threaten both their worlds. As supernatural forces gather around their union, the princess discovers she possesses rare powers that could either bridge the gap between the human and demon worlds, or destroy them both. But first, she must survive the deadly court politics, assassination attempts, and her own growing feelings for a prince who may be using her for his own dark purposes. The marriage that began as a political sacrifice becomes a battle for survival, power, and ultimately, a love that could reshape the balance between light and darkness in both realms.
The Heart Made of Beautiful Gold
Everyone knows the stories of "Sleeping Beauty" and "Beauty and the Beast." In "Sleeping Beauty," the main protagonist is female, but what if the main protagonist were male? In "Beauty and the Beast," the main character is cursed for being mean and rude. What if, instead, the main protagonist were cursed for someone else's crimes? I am going to rewrite my story, "The Cursed Prince." My inspiration comes from "Sleeping Beauty" and "Beauty and the Beast." King Daniel and Queen Annabelle longed for a son and tried for many years before finally having a baby boy they named Edward. However, King Daniel's past soon comes back to haunt him. His ex-lover, Felicity, who is a witch, curses Prince Edward by making him very ugly after King Daniel rejects her. A kind witch named Chloe informs the royal family that the curse can only be broken when Prince Edward finds true love. However, King Daniel and Queen Annabelle feel ashamed of their son and decide to give him to the servants to raise. Edward grows up without knowing he is a prince; he believes the servants are his true parents. A girl named Lucy, who is not traditionally beautiful, befriends Edward, and they develop a close bond. Lucy looks past Edward's appearance and falls in love with him. The question remains: can Edward look beyond Lucy's appearance and return her love?Complete
