"Tempts you to untie the string.
In the parcel a small island,
On the island a large tree."
After being forced to leave her home and mother in London because of war, eleven year old Lily was taken under the roof of Madame Alma, a sweet and charming old woman, and also... a complete stranger.
While living in a beautiful mansion away from gruesome ordeals comes Madame Alma's house rules: No wandering at night. No playing in empty rooms. No talking with pixies.
After unearthing a gateway to Ellura, a land where magic thrives and deceit is sugar coated, Lily learns that not all that glitter is gold. Some are only pixies luring children for their queen.
***
"With the travel-between-worlds of Narnia, the grotesque creatures of Alice in Wonderland, and the dark twist similar to that of Coraline, you'll grow to love Allure."

The Mob Character Shouldn't Have A Yandere Harem?!
The Mob Character Shouldn't Have A Yandere Harem?! 50 years ago, rifts started to open around the world. Portals to other dimensions. And with their appearance, so did the fantastical monsters that lived within them, led by the ruthless Demon King. Unprepared for them, millions died. But not only did monsters come through, but other species which held magical powers. Four Great Sages sealed the Demon King away in his own dimension, saving the world. Now, the other species live integrated with the humans. Elves, Succubi, Kitsunes, Fairies, and more! Now magic is a commodity, used by adventurers to protect civilians whenever rifts open up. Eric Arthurson transfers to Japan from America, where his sudden arrival will set his life on a course to become a great adventurer, followed with his friends who may love him a bit...too much. That was the synopsis of Heaven's Hell, my favorite anime. It was a yandere harem anime! The only one of its kind! And I loved it! And the night I was going to watch the finale to the anime, the final episode of Season 3, I fell asleep. And the next day, I was in a new place that wasn't my home. I was in Heaven's Hell. And right in the thick of it. Only a couple months until the start of canon. Now I have only one goal: survive. Survive the oncoming events of the anime, and the yanderes of the main character. I was only just transmigrated into a dangerous world with dangerously powerful yanderes! Nothing can go wrong, right? Right?

Secrets of the Druids
Eleven year old Abbie is about to be taking on a great adventure. Where destiny awaits. God help destiny. All will change. *************************** Last summer one night as we sat round our back garden Abbie me eleven year old daughter who is big into fantasy Narnia, Doctor Who, skulduggery pleasant and Sherlock Holmes etc wanted me to write an adventure story with her in it. So I did. Little did I know it would take me the best part of five months and then some:-( I tried to put everything Abbie likes into it, fantasy, magic, history and mystery. So the end result is Book one of 'Secrets of the Druids'. It's a complete story in itself. Hate books that have no ending. I knew I'd be reading this to her in bed so it's a page turner (I hope:-). My greatest critics loved this story (My Kids) so I hope you do too. Feel free to write any comments you have on this tale all advice is welcome. Enjoy.Complete
The Art Of Getting Rich Again
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.![The Book of Adventures [EDITING SOON]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/268008371-256-k876704.jpg)

A child on the brink of death, and when faced with Death herself, the child just couldn't bear it and he begged. "Lady... Can you please end my suffering?"

Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light.
