***Currently being re-written***

In the Kingdom of Alluria, Eloise lives her life as the forgotten princess, The Ugly Duckling. Unlike her family her looks pale in comparison to that of their alluring beauty. Kept tucked away deep in the east wing, she was shunned by her own family, her own kingdom, no one but her eldest brother to defend her.  But when the King and Queen are convinced to send her the top university of the Allurian kingdom, troubling secrets and hidden memories begin to reveal themselves, and her true fate begins.
 
Will her new found destiny help her to find the true meaning of beauty, or will she always be stuck as 'The Ugly Duckling'.

However, when monsters from Alvar's world kidnap my best friend, I find myself whisked away to his realm marrying him anyway. But marrying a man I barely know and adapting to a fantastical new world is nothing compared to learning just how many dark secrets my new husband hides and that the fates of both my world and Alvar's rest on MY shoulders.

{COMPLETED} The stars disappeared seventeen years ago. A black night sky has mirrored a bleak existence for the people of Auros. The Gifted, humans with unique abilities to affect the world around them, have all but become extinct thanks to the dark reign of a usurper. And somehow Zephyr Elvy has managed to live her nineteen years in the blissful quiet of a small town next to the sea. Zephyr has always been content to keep to herself, and happy to live a simple, if uneventful, life. If only the universe had that in mind for her. Forced to flee the only place she has ever called home, Zephyr finds herself running through a world she has only ever read about, along with two soldiers who have deserted their posts to keep their consciences clean. With only a letter and a mysterious weapon as clues to why she's being hunted, Zephyr must face her own fears while discovering a whole new world of terrors at the hands of a queen she knows next to nothing about. Having never risked anything her entire life, Zephyr is forced to choose between apathy or action, hiding and keeping to herself, as she has always done, or taking a leap that could change the world she is just now getting to see. ***** Thank you SO MUCH for reading!
