Fantasy and Fairytales

A curse. A hidden identity. A dangerous love. Ten-year-old Persinette Basile was forced to flee the palace of Gaule for her life. Now at eighteen, she must find a way to return in order to obey a curse on her family line. The prince won't know who she is. Not anymore. But she knows him and what he will do if he discovers her true name. Made to fight for her life to earn her place, she vows to find a way to break the curse no matter the cost. To. The. Death. The words describing the tournament turn Prince Alexandre Durand's blood to ice. The last warrior standing will win a spot at his side. As he's thrust onto the throne, forbidden magic, dangerous betrayals, and a complicated love could tear his reign apart. When the secrets begin to unravel, will Alex stay true to the laws and traditions of Gaule or will he give it all up for a woman who deceived him?

Never fall in love with the enemy. If only it were that simple. Persinette Basile has always known the ruling family of Gaule were meant to be her enemy. With no other choice, she fought to join them anyway. And they will break her now that they know her true name. As she sits in her prison cell, she wants one thing: for the Kingdom of Gaule to burn to the ground. But they need her. When the king is kidnapped, the kingdom turns to the only person who could possibly find him: the woman tied to him by magic. Etta. Life-altering secrets. Magical duels. A love that could tear two kingdoms apart.

No longer only a warrior. Not just a queen. Persinette Basile has a new purpose. The chains she's carried since the curse began are gone, replaced by a crown. But freedom can't exist while enemies surround Bela on all sides. La Dame lurks on the border in Dracon, waiting for her revenge. In Gaule, magic folk are hunted and punished for their Belaen heritage. A journey into Gaule brings her face to face with the one person who can destroy her with one simple act: dying. No longer tied to Alex by magic, his death should mean nothing to her. As she learns more about who she truly is and the legacy of her family, she's forced to answer three questions. Can she save the king of Gaule? Can he be trusted if she does? And what will it mean for her people if she finds herself unable to let go of him again? A rebellion. A dying king. And a magical war that could end everything.

A hidden princess is an obedient princess. On the shores of Madra, tradition is law. For Princess Helena Rhodipus, this means wearing masks to hide from common eyes. For the people, it means bowing down to a king who cares little for them. Wanting to rid herself of the rules holding her back, Helena escapes into the city, unrecognizable without her mask. She only wants a taste of life outside her walls before returning to the only place she's known, but she hadn't counted on him. The boy who makes her forget about her brothers' worries or her father's wrath. Dell Tenyson has nothing. The unclaimed son of a dead merchant, he sleeps in the barn behind his step-mother's grand house. The life suits him. He only wants to get through each day and make it to the next. Injured in a street fight, Dell wakes to find himself embroiled in a world of spies and plotting with an unknown girl right in the center of it. He doesn't know who she is or where she's come from, but Dell vows to do whatever is necessary to protect her. A coup is coming to Madra, a battle for the kingdom's very soul. Maybe winning doesn't mean saving the crown, but only surviving its fall.

A shattered princess is a vengeful princess. On the shores of Madra, rebellion has won. Her family dead or missing, Helena seeks help from the kingdom across the sea. Bela. She knows it from stories of magic and war but now finds herself at the mercy of the intimidating Basile queen. Etta is everything Helena wishes she could have been for her family and everything she hopes to be still. Convincing the foreign warrior queen to let her stay is easy. Convincing her to train a princess she barely knows is something else entirely. When shocking news comes out of Gaule, Helena realizes the fight for Madra hasn't ended. It has only just begun. Dell Tenyson left everything behind. When the crown fell, he found himself on the unlikely side of those trying to save it. And they'd failed. Now, he follows Helena across the sea to help her regain what she lost. Not the crown. Her family. But when all she wants is vengeance, will he be enough to remind her she still has a reason to live for something more?

When Tyson's mother summons him to Gaule, she sends him on a mission for the crown: find the outlaw terrorizing the kingdom. He never imagined his search for the criminal would bring him face to face with everything he'd lost. When he learns the truth of the mysterious hooded figure, how far will he go to save a woman who deceived him?
