Alyss doesn't believe in magic. In fact, she hasn't believed in anything since her mother's death. And as the eldest of twelve princesses, she bears the full responsibility of taking care of her family, which is no easy task. 

Ever since her father remarried, she and her sisters' lives have been miserable. When they are banned from doing anything that their stepmother dislikes - including dancing, the one thing they all love - Alyss and her sisters grow desperate. 

So when a beautiful white door appears on their bedroom's empty wall, they don't hesitate to open it. What greets them is more wonderful and magical than any of them could have imagined. 

Gradually, an enchanting land with handsome princes and promises of magic pulls them farther and farther away from reality. As each day passes, the twelve princesses are drawn deeper into the world that awaits them beyond the door, until they aren't sure they ever want to leave. Until, soon, they want to stay.. forever.

Heptagram (Unleashed, Book 1) by Naomi_Anika

When her mother sends her to a mysterious man who may be able to help with her problem, Lyssa could never have imagined that she would end up entangled in such a mess. Not only is the person who was supposed to help her missing, but she also finds herself in the very place she had dreamed of ever since she was old enough to understand what she wanted. Too bad the prestigious Aletheia Academy is nothing like she imagined. She will soon realize that even the walls in this place have secrets. Students are going missing in the middle of the night, and the high-ups act like they saw nothing. There's an extremely annoying young man who treats her like she's the center of all the problems occurring at the Academy, and her mind popping out new memories every five minutes is no help at all. Oh, and of course, there's the challenge of actually surviving the near-death race she signed up for without even knowing it. One month has never seemed so long as Lyssa tries her best not to get killed, kidnapped, or have her mind reduced to shreds - all while keeping in mind her main goal, without anyone else finding out about it. UPDATES COULD BE A LITTLE SLOWER IN THE MONTHS OF OCTOBER/NOVEMBER AS I'M BUSY WRITING MY GRADUATION THESIS. I'LL BE BACK WITH REGULAR WEEKLY UPDATES AS SOON AS I CAN

The Unseen Road by Mewn-san

What if you discovered a world like no other, but knew no way back? And yet, the only way to stay- and survive- was by leaving your past self behind, body and mind? From a small town on the panhandle of Florida, Kylie and Celeste are two fraternal twins tired of being bullied; Beatrice is an embittered fourteen-year-old dissatisfied with her home life; and Mina is a young, yet astute girl determined to uncover a family mystery long forgotten... The four girls, whose paths would have never crossed, find themselves in the midst of a mysterious railroad tunnel. With an inkling for adventure, they enter, only to emerge in a world straight out of a fantasy novel, a country called Alysia. It isn't long, however, before they find themselves in the middle of a decades-long Civil War between the forces of Heaven- Arcadia- and Hell- Abaddonia... and realize that going home isn't going to be as simple as they believe. The road home would be more than just a yellow brick road traversed in ruby slippers; in order to survive, they will have to grow up- in more ways than just one. With no other choice, each finds herself wrapped up in the adventure of a lifetime as, together, they fight to stay true to themselves. For Kylie, Celeste, Beatrice, and Mina, it would indeed be a while before they could ever turn back. A/N: Thank you to everyone who checks out my story. I hope that you enjoy following these girls as they go through each of their own journeys. ~Cover design by me~
