No one understands what it's like when your mother is famous for her beauty and you are, at best, average. Actually I'm wrong. She wasn't famous just for her beauty, but that's how people tell the story, how people have always told the story. That was even her name for a while. No one remembered her real name. She was just the sleeping princess or Sleeping Beauty. I'm only a footnote in my own life, destined to always be Sleeping Beauty's daughter. My name's Princess Azia Rose of Draconis, and here is my story....

The final trial of the Faerie Race has arrived: a head-to-head battle through the streets of Elfame city. Jacq and Orin should be ecstatic to have made it this far - but tragedy overshadows them both - leaving the pair wondering if the cost to continue is too high. Only the unexpected reappearance of her long-lost sister keeps Jacq in the game, but Cass's presence comes with troubles of its own. The ancient Brotherhood is closer than ever to carrying out a twisted plot that would mean an end to modern human civilization.

The Faerie Race has proven more grueling and deadly than Jacqueline thought possible. With one trial down and two to go, it seems the reality show's producers will stop at nothing to get their ratings - even murder. It will take all of Jacq's cunning to get through the next trial unscathed, but all she can think about is her discovery that her sister is alive. Too bad her search for answers has only left her with more questions, and more enemies.

Fame. Fortune. Your most extravagant wish granted. These are the prizes promised to the team that wins the Faerie Race, the first and only reality television show to venture into the dangerous realm of the fae. But that's not why Jacqueline Cunningham wants in. She's after any sign of her sister - who vanished without a trace into the faerie world two years ago. Jacq thought getting into the race would be the hard part. But she didn't count on the other competitors - who will stop at nothing to finish first.

With the dragons attacking and the kingdom falling apart, Azia must find out about her history to make changes to her future. But heading up the mountains to see the dragons is a downright insane idea. Fortunately for Azia, she has never been one to let a spark of insanity stop her from doing anything. With a cast of characters including a witch, a seer, dwarves, and of course, dragons, Heiress of Embers is the second spellbinding installment of the Kingdom of Fairytales: Sleeping Beauty.

Living in a kingdom surrounded by ocean and filled with waterways, I'm supposed to love the sea creatures Atlantice is famous for. What the people don't know is that I'm a proud member of the Anti Mermaid League. My mission in life is to rid the kingdom's waters of the Merfolk that inhabit them. Or at least it was, until I met one of them....

The kingdom needs an heir, and Princess Charmaine is quite aware the job rests solely upon her shoulders. When her elder sister dies, Charmaine has to take her place at the ball designed to find her a husband. With 100 men to choose from and her wedding planned, all she has to do is pick one. But love can sometimes be found in the most unlikely of places and at the most inconvenient of times.

Not all afters end up happily, sometimes the real adventure starts much later...With the queen's curse returning, the Anti-Mermaid League are on the warpath and the merfolk aren't helping matters with their jealousy over my relationship with Fish. I'd never thought that enemies could turn to lovers, but my feelings towards my sworn enemy are deepening and I'm not the only one to notice.

Once the ruler of the kingdom of Silverwood, Queen Charmaine finds herself running as a fugitive from the only life she has ever known. With the people believing her to be dead and a tyrant taking over her land, Charmaine has to fight for her life, the lives of her family, and most of all, the magi of Silverwood.

Still on the run from the police and no longer wanted in the kingdom he once loved, Cynder is forced to find another way to live. But when a chance encounter puts him back in touch with the love he lost, he knows he must do everything in his power to save her.

Skyla is my home. It has always been my home. But will it always be my prison? As long as I can remember, Peter has told me I’m Skyla’s good luck charm, but with that title, he refuses to let me leave the floating islands and go on adventures like he does. I spend my days exploring one island after another, after another...and while I may stumble upon a magical cove now and then, when you’ve seen one floating patch of dirt, you’ve seen them all. Such is not said about boys with pixies.

Julianna, a born dragon slayer, has found herself in the precarious position of being an unwitting dragon savior instead. Only her blood is able to unlock the dragons bound inside the goblin-made slayers' blades. But some of the swords are missing and the dragons, slayers, and even the wolves are on a mission to find them.

Julianna never thought that going after her first dragon after years of dreaming to be a Slayer would result in saving one, but now she's determined to not only keep Ash safe, but help him free the dragons trapped in the Slayer's swords. The only way to free them requires a visit to the goblins who created the swords in the first place. Not so easy a task when Dronias is divided by war.

Dragons have terrorized Julianna's village for generations. Nothing will stop her from succeeding in her first dragon hunt. Until she meets one, that is. His isn't what she was told to expect. Big, angry beast? No. Normal looking man? Um...yeah. Ash is just as surprised by his first "dragon slayer". She's not big and tough. Sure, she's got a fire diamond sword - which she's very proud of - and some really uncomfortable looking armor, but her heart is bigger than she's willing to admit.
