On an island far away from other countries, lonesome in the ocean, is the long lasting belief that women are nothing. They are to be given away as spouses, are allowed to be abused, and never let out of the living arrangement. For a man, life is great. They do nothing themselves, and have their promised slave. For women, they have no rights. Standing up for yourself as a woman can give you jail time, or death. Though it may not sound as bad as it is, but something must be done.
Rose, an ordinary girl was born, and instantly promised to a boy named Jace. At age 14, they were to get married. Jace is excited. He can't wait to live out his life as an police officer. He is highly knowledgeable about the law, and will stop at nothing to give others the punishment they need. Rose on the other hand, hates Jace for his abusive nature, and crazy dominance need. She wants this spouse trade to stop, as she wants to have a job as a teacher. She knows she'll never get this wish.
The island gets prophecies, about women who will stop the trade. They were all executed. A new one came in...
"A strawberry is small, and devoured quickly. While ripe ones are juicy, and full of knowledge. A girl as pure as a rose will stop this once and for all, and live her life in happiness, as will all people on the island of Tiamy." (Tee-ah-me)

Wolves Den

And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time.

The deserted island
Heyyy, nice to have you stop by ;) This story is about a group of young people aged 17-20 who wash up on a deserted island.🏝️ They are good friends, but over time they start to notice tensions rising within the group. It happens that several of the guys fall for the same girl, and things go completely wrong. - Juliette often stays close to Emiel, since they're a couple, but her gaze keeps drifting towards Victor, whose sharp humor and self-assured attitude unknowingly intrigue her. She has a slight fear of Victor. - Emiel is Juliette's partner and would do anything to protect her. He's quite jealous, but only when necessary. He's a real man, not a boy. - Victor occasionally throws a challenging look at Emiel, as if silently daring him. Emiel feels more and more uncomfortable. Victor is very smart and cunning, and he would do anything to win Juliette over, convincing her that Emiel isn't right for her, but that he himself is. Victor is the most unreliable, clever, and sly guy. He has his eye on Juliette but makes it all too obvious. He must and will convince her to be with him, showing her that he's the only right one... though that's not actually the case. - Robbe is the smart one in the group. - Gina is clairvoyant. - Amber, who watches all of this unfold, often plays calming melodies on her harp. She has an intuitive gift to sense when tensions rise, and her music usually keeps the group in balance. There is romance, violence, and coarse language, so sensitive readers are warned!! For each sensitive scene, there will be a "T.W.⚠️" present, which will also close with "End of T.W.⚠️". I hope you enjoy the story and give it a chance! Hopefully, I'll get some feedback to guide me. Love you 💕 Lynn x
