April Davidson, never thought that she would become an orphan. Well no one does until it happens. But in a world where shifters, elves and mutants live in a fragile peace with the humans, nothing is ever guaranteed. Humans are a small minority in this strange world that once housed thousands of humans, until 'They' came. Ancient beasts that found portals into the Second Earth and recked havoc upon the human race. After awhile, 'They' realised that making sure that some humans survived would be a better idea, since humans had females. So intern in the future there was a chance of females being mates. After witnessing the death of her parents at the hands of her childhood friend, nothing will ever be the same again. She will find that nothing as it seems, she will find adventure, mates and becomes something that she never thought she would be.....a gift to her own race. And become the Queen of two worlds and in the process, bring peace to the world. (Some of the realms and time lines are not true to history and I am not trying it to be. Some of the characters may be related to history but this is only by coincidence).
A COURT OF SHIFTERS AND SECRETS
Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."Complete
