- Loose Swan Lake retelling with a twist -
      
Fifteen year--old Jessa is a Tartarean-mortals with special powers--accompanied with impressive ice abilities.
    
Grief-stricken and overwhelmed with secrets after the horrific events of her past, she ventures for the North Continents where she plans to begin a new life. But she's caught making a terrible mistake and is sentenced to prison. 
        
Just when Jessa thinks she's about to stay there until the end of her life, Crown Prince Casrian of Andalia confronts her and offers her a bargain she can't possibly pass up: Work for him in his Tartarean's Keep for a year in exchange for her freedom. There, she's tutored by an unpleasant fire wielder and meets the Princess with secrets of her own; along with the handsome Young Prince Ryland who seems to draw her in, despite the law preventing humans from having affairs with her kind.
      
She's torn between forbidden love and freedom, and when a martyred Faerie appears in her dreams, she finds out her destiny is much more complicated than she ever thought possible.
    
Sometimes, not everything turns out the way it's supposed to be . . .

-"She'll ruin you! She'll bring you to your knees." His answer was a prayer, murmured above me. "Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat. Forced into deadly trials before a crowd of merciless Fae, Cassia fights to keep her life, unaware that the game was never meant for her to win. When a dashing Fae Lord steps in to save the hapless human girl, she sees no way to live long enough to find her way home, except his unwanted offer of marriage. This Lord had his own reasons for this chivalry, however. She was not to be a bride, but a key. Hunted, terrified, and betrayed, Cassia finds an unlikely ally in the court of her betrothed. One with secrets that echo her own... one who leads her to a reclusive and broken Fae Lord who sees the darkness she hides. As war brews and ancient magic stirs, love becomes a weapon. Cassia must decide who to trust before she loses more than her home and freedom. In the Fae realm, looks can be deceiving. And after a life of hot and cold, Cassia isn't certain she can trust a "just right". TWs: -Physical & Emotional abuse -Domestic Violence -Torture and Imprisonment -Major Character Death -Themes of Self Harm and Suicidal Ideation (part of character arc, not glorified) -On the page sex scenes (consent implied or explicit, but present) Read with care!

WATTYS SHORT LIST! When sixteen-year-old Sasha Nikolayeva opens her eyes on a horrifying tableau of dead and dying bodies, she can only hope to wake up. But the nightmare, if that's what it is, doesn't end. Instead, Sasha finds herself rendered mute and enslaved by a society which doesn't recognize her as a human being. To the citizens of Kingsgarden, "thralls" like Sasha are automatons brought into being by mages, incapable of speech or independent thought. Hidden behind a carefully crafted mask of soulless neutrality, Sasha silently endures starvation, degradation, and physical abuse at the hands of her captors as she watches and waits for an opportunity to escape into the glittering, majestic capital city of Kingsgarden. Despite visions of her old life which strongly suggest that she is suffering from some sickness of the mind--a neurological disorder, or perhaps simple insanity--Sasha is determined to take matters into her own hands and find her way home, whether she is imprisoned truly in a foreign land or only in her own mind. But as time goes by, Sasha finds herself drawn to the beauty and vitality of the City...and to the handsome Beastspeaker who only wants to give her his heart. Sasha knows she has no choice but to leave it all behind in order to go home, but she can't help but begin to wonder if "home" is where she thought it was and if the line between reality and madness is as fixed as it seems. This is a very early version of my novel "A Garden of Light and Shadows" which is currently under agent consideration. Cross your fingers for me!

Prince Donovan is a Darkness Wielder; his family's magic protects the kingdom. He does not want a mistress, but when he notices the Light Wielder, he has no choice. He loathes all Light Wielders and will not touch Maren but needs her to pretend to be his mistress. Prince Kieran isn't as powerful as his older brother, and he can't stand it.
