One palace of mirrors where every secret is a heartbeat and every kiss is a battlefield. In the Sheesh Mahal, trust is the most expensive commodity... and the price of love is paid in blood. A Little Rambling... "This story is a heartfelt tribute to the legends that shaped my imagination; certain characters and arcs are lovingly inspired by my favorite works. I carry their essence forward in this new journey of my own. If you recognize the ghosts in these mirrors, know that they are here as guests of my heart."

Loosely based off the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a 1900 children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It is the first novel in my version of the Oz series of books. *** The first tale in my adaption of the fantastical Oz series by L. Frank Baum. My adaptation of Baum's first book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," remains faithful to the original narrative structure, while introducing captivating modifications to the storyline, origins of certain characters, and the fusion of select chapters. In crafting this rendition, I sought to pay homage to the rich tapestry of Oz adaptations that have graced our screens over the years. Notably, I drew inspiration from the iconic 1939 MGM classic and its enchanting Disney 1985 semi-Sequel, "Return to Oz," as well as the beloved "Wicked" series, SyFy's enthralling "Tin Man" miniseries from 2007, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and the captivating Oz episodes of "Once Upon a Time." To breathe life into the pages, I decided to create live-action illustrations for the book. I used a mix of the MGM Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz (1985), and other Oz adaptations to create the visuals.

ʀᴇᴅ ʀɪᴅɪɴɢ ʜᴏᴏᴅ meets ꜱʜɪᴇʟᴅ ᴏꜰ ꜱᴘᴀʀʀᴏᴡꜱ in this romantic fantasy where a war widow is bound to a hardened enemy general and thrust into a wild land of unknown monsters. ------------------ After her husband's death on the battlefield, Rosafiere DeGraaf is sent back to the gilded halls of her parents' estate. When a royal decree binds former enemies together, Rosafiere is chosen to wed a man of Kharvos--a land of ancient forests and unforgiving people. Far away from everything she has ever known, Rosafiere must navigate a society with customs that challenge her own and beliefs she thought to be fairytales. Coswald Fitzgerald is not the husband she would have chosen. Gruff, sharp-tongued, and fiercely protective, he resents the political match as much as she does. His silences weigh as heavily as his words and the savage strength he keeps tightly leashed only makes him more difficult to understand. They clash at every turn, but somewhere between wary glances, barbed remarks, and reluctant acts of kindness, something far more dangerous begins to grow. Old enemies linger in the shadows, unwilling to accept the fragile peace. Whispers of strange creatures stalking the wilds grow louder. And within the walls of her new home, resentment simmers among those who see her as nothing more than a symbol of the enemy. Bound by duty, drawn together by something deeper, Rosafiere and Coswald must learn to trust one another in a world determined to tear them apart. Because in a land shaped by war and ruled by ancient traditions, loyalty is hard won, trust is dangerous, and the smallest touch may be the greatest risk of all.
