Born and raised in Portland, Auden begins to wonder what she’s gotten herself into. With her happy go lucky Aunt there to guide her transition, Auden can’t seem to connect how her unorganized, bubbly aunt is related to her strict, disciplined mother. What’s even worse is the fact that despite Fortuna Isle being a gorgeous place with water-colored skies and crystalline oceans, Auden doesn’t seem to fit in with her sun kissed, boisterous peers. Because the fact of the matter is, when Auden tries to tan, she gets sunburned. ☀ Tʜᴇ Dʀᴏᴡɴɪɴɢ- When Parker Prince quite literally finds her in a state of questionable sanity, Auden is suddenly introduced to the idea of spending her summer with a boy who 1) Never tucks in his shirt, 2) fluently speaks the language of sarcasm and 3) works at the aquarium (the best job in the world in his opinion). The fact that he swims with sharks isn't the weirdest thing about him though. The thing about Parker Prince is that he believes in only one, absolute, truth- You don’t drown. You Just Keep Swimming. ~*~ Cover done by the amazing @Tamedkiss

Stealing? Plotting? Fighting? Fairly normal for Key. Questing with princes, fighting eternal evil, and stirring an ancient magic that could destroy the world? Not so much... While the rich men rest on piles of gold and their well-to-do wives dance around into pretty lace dresses, those who aren't nearly as fortunate are left to the streets. Key, always fascinated with stories of honorable heroes she lived for as a child, tries to help out as many as these people as she can. Nonetheless, she is a thief, an a notorious one at that. No one knows her real name, as she goes by many, but there's one unanimous nickname that has stuck with her. Lady Thief. She's not your typical lady. She's not elegant, charming, endearing, patient, or even extremely friendly. One day our Lady Thief has an unfortunate run in with some royalty, and, somehow, tangled in a web of lies, she's managed to get herself sucked into following King Cavalierre's two sons in a political campaign, so they can win the trust of their people. Somewhere along the way, she ends up on a quest that could stir up an ancient magic, which threatens to rip the new world- and her heart- apart at the seams. Things have just gotten complicated for our Lady Thief.
