The Queen of Hearts meets the gilded world of Marie Antoinette.

A princess with a holy Gift. A kingdom hiding a dangerous secret. And a marriage meant to bring peace to a land with a violent history of war.

Eighteen-year-old Ophelia Rosiers is a princess of Rosailles, and also the heir to a holy Gift that determined the fate of her queendom centuries ago. But now with her Gift locked away, she can only hear the whispers of the Angels her people revere. As a result, her sister has been named next in line, and she is being sent to their enemy nation, Garnette, in order to marry their Crown Prince and hopefully lead their countries into an era of much needed peace. Only when she arrives, she quickly starts to suspect her betrothed is not who she dreamed him to be.

Stuck in a palace surrounded by gossiping courtiers and enemies at every turn, Ophelia's friends are few. Especially when one of her handmaidens turns out to have secrets of her own, turning what Ophelia has always believed about her destiny upside down. Desperate for a distraction, she finds company with Prince Pierre-her betrothed's younger brother-who has motives of his own. 

When betrayal lands Ophelia as Garnette's prisoner, she realizes her whole life she has been dictated by other people's lies. With peace shattered for good and Ophelia's fate left in her own hands, she does the one thing she has left-she takes back control, even if it means turning into the very monster her enemies make her out to be.

Bumping Into You by imamess26

Ophelia is used to being seen as the school's most popular boy's beautiful yet unapproachable (and lesbian) twin sister. Senior year will be no different. She will sit at the same table of girls with her best friend, Beverley, at lunch. She will flirt with a few of the sickeningly straight girls who can't stop talking about how hot her brother, Orion, and his friends are. Maybe she'll even figure out what she wants to do with her life before graduation. At least that's her thought process going into school on the first day. But when she accidentally bumps into the new girl that same day, she can't help but wonder if a few, if not all, her plans for her senior year are going to change. Maybe she even wants them to, although the thought of changing things for a beautiful girl after she's been a little bit against romance for so long is shocking and a little nerve-wracking to say the least. *Not Edited - Will be After Completion*
