Selfrescuingprincess Stories

Yana Sokol knows nothing but war. Her mother is head of Riassa's Second Army, a brilliant general who has won many victories for her country. Yana has spent her entire nineteen years of life determined to be witch or warrior enough to make her mother proud. When she is assigned to a mission that could disrupt the fragile pause in the war between two monolithic empires, she finally has her chance, and she'll let nothing stand in the way of it. Especially not Kombat Luka Remizov, the disdainful captain she's assigned to, a young master of both magic and the blade. With winter closing it's teeth on their heels, Yana, Luka, and a handful of other soldiers head into the mountains that march along the border shared by Riassa and their bloodthirsty neighbors, the Hyns. There's a princess to rescue, raiding parties to avoid, and a delicate armistice to maintain before the snows close in... and time is running out.

When Sir Frog, a wizard's apprentice who was turned into a frog, arrives at the palace gates seeking true love, it's no surprise that Queen Olivia sees this as a golden opportunity. An opportunity to marry off Princess Willow, her youngest and most stubborn daughter. Princess Willow politely rejects Sir Frog's charms until she overhears a plot between her father's advisor and Sir Frog. They plan to put an obedience spell on her and force her to marry the frog in the hopes that she will change her mind and fall in love with him. Determined to reject the frog's advances, Princess Willow turned to her Fairy Godmother Matilda for help. Still, fairies do not lend their aid for nothing, not even to their favorite goddaughter. Princess Willow didn't want to think about what would happen if she couldn't convince her fairy godmother to help her. *** Applesauce didn't like the sickly sweet smell of magic, but Willow once again urged the horse forward. Slowly, the mare moved into the woods. The dense forest filtered most of the sunlight, allowing only green-tinted light to reach the forest floor. The scent of pine filled the still air. Willow directed Applesauce to follow a leaf-littered path. "I hope this leads us to Godmother Matilda's house," said Princess Willow. Willow's parents had one strict rule about the fairy woods; never enter the woods without an invitation. Fairies weren't the only magical beings living in the woods, and they didn't take too kindly to non-magical beings intruding on their land.
