A Lioness' Tale is the story of Gabriella Alexis Sandoval.

As the only child of power couple Gabriel and Alexis Sandoval, Gabriella has enjoyed a cultured lifestyle that most only dream of. With summer vacations to Brazil, beautiful homes and fine restaurants, her life was destined to be anything but ordinary.
 
Coming of age at a luxury resort exclusively for wealthy men, building an elaborate sex toy empire and running an elite couples' club, is just a taste of her world. Gabriella's determination is what fuels her fire. When she sets her sights on something, she fearlessly executes with prowess and vigor.
 
She has it all . . . except love. Friends and family alike, have expectations of romance. However, even with a plethora of men to choose from, Gabriella has made it very clear that her comfort zone is in the area of serial dater, where the emotions are detached. It happens to be a situation that works for her. That is, until someone comes along who makes her feel as though love may not be such a bad option, after all.
 
Just when Gabriella succumbs to the possibility of a relationship-complete with strings attached, the moment is complicated by the emergence of the person who once held the key to her heart, and who was the root cause of her reluctance to entertain what lay on the other side of love's door.
 
With what Gabriella deems to be the perfect life solidly in place, will she be bold enough to allow love in at a level that is all-encompassing, or will she continue to guard with care?

Her Mum constantly works to make ends meet, which means Marla has to put up with gossipy old Bev keeping an eye on her and noisy little half-sister Ribbon. If that wasn't bad enough, her exam results are in... and they aren't good. But at least she has her friends. Asher, the responsible and strong boy who has known her all her life and Ed, the orphaned rebel who loves to stir up trouble. Then there's her, Marla, stubborn, fiery and just plain lost. Life on the estate is same-old same-old, until the senile World War Two veteran, Mr. Pelham, starts freaking Marla out with his staring and rambling, cryptic messages. Is he trying to warn her? Or hurt her? When the bored trio decide to teach the creepy old man it's rude to scare young girls, they learn far too late just how crucial it is to respect your elders. For his daughter, Bridget, has a power unlike anything they've ever seen before and she uses her deadly craft to send them to a place that will teach them the lesson of their lifetime. Bridget has sent them back in time, all the way to World War Two, throwing them into a secret fight for the survival of all magical folk in the world. Marla soon learns what it really means to be a True, and the power her absent father has kept from her all her life... Marla, Ed and Asher are thrown into a world they and their generation have no comprehension of, a world where love is a relic of a life left behind and your only duty is sacrificing all that you have. These three friends are about to learn about a side of World War Two that never made the history books. ***I can't take credit for the artwork, it's called A BREAK IN REALITY and it's by the AMAZINGLY talented Xenobyte on deviantart.
