~Sequel to Shrek: Once Upon A True Love's Kiss [Book 1]~ I never thought that Alice, Zero and I would live in a world that I thought was just a movie and doesn't exist, until we fell into a magical portal from the human realm where Alice and I grew up in. As soon as Shrek and Fiona returned from their honeymoon, they're told to visit Fiona's parents, the King and Queen of Far, Far, Away. Of course, Alice didn't want to pass up an opportunity to see a unicorn if there were any over there, and just had to drag Zero and I along with them, didn't she? Upon meeting the King and Queen of Far, Far, Away, we also have the unfortunate pleasure of meeting the so called 'Prince Charming', who just so happened to be the son of Fairy Godmother. Knowing Alice, I'll have no choice but to go on another adventure with Shrek and the gang and help him out with the whole 'true love's kiss' thing once again. Not that I'm complaining, I get to test out my wings and healing powers, as well as spend time with all of them. After all, we need to stop Prince Charming from kissing Fiona when the clock strikes midnight, or it's over for Shrek. Otherwise, all of this would've been for nothing! Can we stop him on time?

Probably one of the most successful video game franchises in recent years, Monster Hunter has always been a series that has captured the imagination of many people with its fantastical yet realistic creatures. From the scary Vaal Hazak to the goofy Kulu Ya Ku, every last monster is unique and creative in its own way. With each species filling an ecological niche in the environment it inhabits, it honestly feels like you're exploring a real ecosystem, even if the animals that populate it are imagined. However, what if these creatures didn't come from a video game? What if these monsters were real flesh and blood animals that lived in our world? Well in this book, we'll explore an alternate universe where the beasts from Monster Hunter evolved on Earth. What would the pressures of our reality do to them? Where would they live? How might they affect the environments, and the species that live there? Would they act differently from their digital counterparts? How might they affect our own evolution? These questions and many more will be answered in this book. So why don't you join me in this incredible and exciting look into a world of monsters. Note: I do not own the copyright to Monster Hunter or any of the pictures or videos seen here, all of these belong to their rightful owners.

Between love and obligation, whichever shall she choose? ... Eleanora Finley's story begins in 1705, adversity weaving its intricate threads with a cruel hand. Her father's tragic demise in flames left her adrift, ensnared by a mother whose iron grip offered no solace, no love. Yet fate, in its capricious dance, unveiled a revelation that no one could have ever expected. The unassuming red-haired girl from down the street was none other than the daughter of the Queen's estranged brother. In what could have been a Cinderella rags-to-riches story, Eleanora, now known as the Queen's niece, was ushered into the resplendent halls of Aethiel Palace, where brilliance shimmered in blinding splendor. Amidst this grandeur, she encountered Crown Prince Julian de Lavilliers, a figure of regal charm yet not the beacon to kindle her heart as the Queen had envisioned. Instead, her soul stirred for another - a man from the northern realms, his gaze icy and penetrating. His heart, encased in stone, hands forged by the harshness of battle. A man who had never cried, who had never loved. (STANDALONE)
