Darkretelling Stories

**UPDATES TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS** When ten-year-old Kensington Brooks is thrown from a ship during a violent storm, she expects to die beneath the waves. Instead, she wakes on the shores of Neverland. But this is not the story her mother once read to her. The island is wild. Hungry. Ancient. The forests breathe at night, the trees whisper warnings in the dark, and every creature seems to survive by tearing something else apart. Peter Pan rules from the shadows like a beautiful, feral ghost, and the Lost Boys are no longer boys anyone should want to find. Alone and desperate to survive, Kensy is drawn into the hidden corners of the island by those who have learned to live beyond Peter's reach: Tinkerbell, sharp-tongued and dangerous; Thrash, a merciless mermaid with blood in her teeth; and Olea, a quiet native girl who knows the jungle better than anyone alive. High in the trees, inside a tiny house of sticks and woven branches, Kensy begins to carve out a fragile home among a band of rebel girls who refuse to kneel to the island's cruel rules. But Neverland does not allow children to grow safely. And something old is waking beneath the roots of the forest. Kensy must put her trust in the most fearsome creature on the island. The Bird is even more terrifying than the monster lurking in the skies, and she has no choice. Because in this Neverland, happy endings are the first thing to die.

Arielle is a failure. She couldn't kill the human prince; she couldn't defeat her uncle. She couldn't stop war. But there's still time. Two weeks ago, mermaid-princess Arielle came face to face with her dark warlock uncle and nearly died along with him. Since then, he's vanished. If she wants to find him and finish what she started, she'll have to journey to the farthest and coldest reaches of her world--the kingdom of Snejorn. At least she has Eero by her side as she faces some of her darkest days. In this final installment of the "These Gilded Seas" duology, both Ari and Eero's limits will be pushed as new bonds are forged and old ones are severed. **Note: This is a sequel. You cannot read it without reading These Gilded Seas! The cover is also temporary until the final one comes. :)

There's one thing in the world that Arielle hates above all else. Humans. Eighty years ago, the human kingdom of Anjord destroyed the merfolk kingdom of Vandya and banished her people to a distant corner of the sea. Since then, the merfolk have become little more than a myth to the rest of the world. But when the formidable Prince Eero crosses the border into her kingdom, Ari has reason to believe he's trying to start another war -- one her father won't engage in. Desperate to protect her people and get her own revenge, Ari makes a deal with her exiled uncle. In exchange for legs and the opportunity to kill the crown prince of Anjord, Ari trades the warlock her seat on the throne. Now, she has one month to bury a dagger in the prince's back or lose her home and future. In this dark retelling of The Little Mermaid, Arielle's alliances will be tested as she discovers a plot thicker than honey and romance in the most unexpected places.

In the Deep, there are certain rules set: 1. Never cross territories that aren't yours. 2. Never hunt food that isn't yours. 3. Never show mercy. 4. Never go to the shore. These rules were biologically embedded into the Deep folk to keep the past from repeating itself. Arya goes out of her way to break these rules to survive. In return, a creature of the Deep follows her to shore and will do anything to accomplish its mission: to drag her to the Deep. With the help of new friends, Arya and her human, Mack, will discover what's truly hidden in the dark depths of the ocean. And what it truly means to fall for someone from a different world.

A New take of the classic Cinderella story.

Wren Elair's life has fallen apart. Her family is broken beyond repair, her will for living is gone, and worst of all, her best (and only) friend believes Wren is going insane. She is not wrong. Wren knows something has snapped within her; something has changed. Her obsession with twisted stories and fairy tales has become her escape from real life. Every night she prays for an escape, prays for a way to become part of the stories she loves to watch play out. Relief never comes, until one night when everything changed... When Wren is swept off into the confusing world of Once Upon a Time with very little of her memory intact, she is swayed away in the dangerous poetry that is Neverland. Her ties to real life and what little sanity remains must be severed if she wishes to survive. After all, only the cutthroat can stay in Pan's good graces. Both in fear and awe of the charming villains and rogue heroes, she has no choice but to join in the games, the games that Peter Pan always wins.
