"Shhhhh, children. Gather around. There is a tale in my bones, fighting to be told. And it begins with a once upon a time....."
The words of fairytales are not only children's stories in The Kingdoms of the Compass, they are prophecies.
These cursed words are hushed entertainment for children, messages of warning rather than hope.
But when one pesant girl hopes... when she wishes... what will she give up when she says she'll give up anything just for her happily ever after?

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
When We Crashed
"You know, you aren't like most girls I have met." "Is that a good thing?" "It depends, are you obsessed with shopping?" "That involves walking... so no." "Dieting?" "Hah, that's funny." "Make up?"

Maybe it just took two cars and a curve in the road for them to see that life isn't so bad after all. Because what's the point of life if you aren't even living? ~~~~~~~ Book two in the T.B.B.B.

To Pieces (LoZ - Link)
My first piece of advice to you-- Don't fall in love. I don't care if it's fate, if it's your destiny-- whatever it is-- Don't. It's not worth the consequences. My second piece of advice-- If a fairy approaches you talking about accepting your fate and what not-- turn around and walk away. Don't look back. Don't question it. Shouldn't be hard if you aren't in love. There's no consequences if you aren't in love. If you are, it's too late for you, and I'm sorry. You won't make it to the end of the story. And if you're me, well... I think you've already accepted that fate, and I think its about time to play your part. You wont make it to the end of the story, either.Complete

Trouble
• Friends to enemies to lovers • Dark themes and gothic vibes • Situations some readers might find offensive • Spicy romance with dark elements *** Never did I expect to find Trouble in New York (oh, the irony of it). But BANG and Trouble aka Connor Black, otherwise known as my childhood best friend, who I had a huge crush on once upon a time, is back in my life. Everyone says he's dark, dangerous, and a total bully. Which sounds nothing like the kid that loved watching me dance ballet in my ridiculously pink tutu dress. We left each other with broken hearts and unfulfilled promises, and now he's back in my life, threatening to destroy me. Hahaha... You know what's funnier than him claiming he wants to ruin me? Me knowing he can, and still loving EVERY second of it. He doesn't give me answers, promises, or hope...he doesn't give me anything, but when he looks at me with those green eyes of his, I know I can really make him fall in love with me. The question is, can I destroy his walls before he destroys me? 🏆Latest Achievements #1 in LoveHate #1 in BadBoyGoodGirl #1 in BadBoy #1 in BFFLove #1 in BadBoyInLove #1 in CollegeRomance
