They hail her as their 'Regienne Verust,' the Fairest Queen. She is simply bewitching to behold, or so they say, with her skin as pale as snow, her hair as dark as night, and her lips as red as blood.
Or at least that's what they preach in the markets at midday. It's only under the cover of night that they whisper other things; stories of poison, murder, and a vault of palm-sized glass boxes, each with a preserved heart inside that rests upon cushions of hammered velvet.
But Isoleí vun Déi Wäiss hasn't the time for their idle talk. Her sole interests lie in kingdoms and power, and crowns and revenge -- especially now that the war for her inheritance has begun. After a betrayal ten years ago, Isoleí has been biding her time, preparing herself for battle against the wicked despot that sits upon her stolen throne. The war she wages is her only chance to have the vengeance she desires and become the queen she was meant to be.
Yet, victory is only half of the battle for her title. Enemies linger in the deep shadows of Wulfhaven Keep and confronting them means Isoleí must be willing to uncover just how far betrayal has spread in the kingdom of Fruaërt. Determining friend from foe will be a cruel test for her judgment but then again, Isoleí has always striven to be fair.

Caldorin
A girl raised by a ghost. A prince swallowed by exile. A kingdom that kills its miracles before they can even cry. Isolde walks the blood-slick streets of Rindek, a city of silence and ruin, where fire-born fae are executed before their first breath and rebellion is just another word for treason. She's a blade in the dark-silent, swift, loyal. Or so they think. By night, she breaks the very laws she enforces, smuggling the condemned to the fabled isle of Sepulkrin-a myth wrapped in fog and storm. No one returns. No one knows if it still exists. Not even her. But secrets have teeth, and history doesn't stay buried forever. When Victor-the exiled prince with eyes of war and winter-steps out of the shadows, Isolde's carefully constructed world begins to collapse. Because he knows what she's done. Because he remembers the revolution their fathers died for. Because he's come to finish what was started. And this time, the dead are watching. In a world ruled by blood and betrayal, how long can you hide what you are before it burns you from the inside out?

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 13] What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carries, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out to find the Elementals-a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.
Ace | JON SNOW
Acelyn was never one to sit quietly as the world crumbled. She knew better than to wait for rescue or mercy. Her world was one of shadows and whispers, where every move was a calculated risk. She played the game of thrones not for power, but for something far more dangerous-control over her own destiny. When Jon Snow's path crossed with hers, it was no accident. Their fates were tied by something neither could escape. The game of thrones was brutal, and if playing it was the price to protect him, then she would make sure the world remembered their names-whether through songs of ice and fire or whispers of betrayal. In a game where nothing was certain, Acelyn was the storm no one saw coming. And Jon Snow? He was just the beginning. (I do not own any characters or material from The Game of Thrones franchise) Do not take this story too seriously-don't read if you cannot suspend your disbelief

Snow White and the Seven Souls
Snow White has always been recognized for her pale skin, her ruby lips, her hair as dark as a raven, and her sweet disposition. Behind this outward beauty lies a secret that only a few people even suspect. There was a reason beyond mere jealousy that motivated the new Queen to drive Snow White from the castle. Never fear, dear reader; a prince will find her. Oh, yes. But at what price? -- I wrote this as my first foray into the Wattpad world, in which I took up the challenge of #justwriteit and #altending. However I found that re-envisioning a classic tale such as Snow White made more sense to me than simply changing the ending. I did have an idea of where the story *could* have gone, and that is what I ended up writing. Hope you like it.Complete
