The Other Side – Prologue
I think I will always be seen as the weird one, the one person that no one seems to understand. I was born a girl on my world with snow white hair and icy blue eyes, a human being no one will ever understand in this world. I have lived my life from place to place, wandering without friends or family, always searching for one thing. Then one night when I drifted off into sleep, I met the one person who could actually understand me. She was the only one to understand my feelings, and hell, she was the first girl I had feelings for. It was so wonderful, I felt as if I had finally found the one person who would never look down on my life and who I was. Every night I would eagerly fall asleep and meet her in that dream world, and we would go explore whatever we wanted to, always hand in hand. One night when I fell asleep and met up with her again in a dream, she took me by the hand and brought my ear to her mouth as she whispered softly into it with her sweet voice.
“One day, I will bring you beyond this fake dream world and show you my real world Hana.”
I was about to question her, wondering what she had meant by her world. But she just simply smiled in her usual angelic way and placed a finger on my lips, hushing my thoughts. At that moment, I had a feeling of dread, a feeling that it would be ages before we could meet again. Rather than waste time, I took ahold of her hand and brought my face to hers, softly kissing her lips. I knew something was about to happen, and so I made sure to share one last moment with her, letting her know how I felt for her. She didn’t flinch once at my action of kissing her, in fact she whole heartedly embraced me in an elegant manner.

“I love you Sakura.” I said to her between kisses, and she replied to me in a happy tone.
“And I love you as well Hana. Even after this, when we wake up, always remember I will be here for you.”
As soon as she had uttered the words, I woke up in my bed, alone. I never saw her again in my dreams and it made me deeply sad when I thought of the time we had spent together. But eventually time flowed and I grew a few years older and wiser, but never less lonely. But Sakura did keep her word, for somehow I did end up traveling to her and her world after one day at college…..

RECALCITRANCE
{COMPLETED} Alaina wishes to be more than a mere icon for her kingdom, believing a princess should be much more than a fragile lady in a dress. The king wants no more than for her to marry in order to succeed the throne, but she has other things in mind -- such as her thirst for freedom and adventure. But when one of the neighbouring kingdoms demands that it's time for a change in the land of Asteria, her entire kingdom is shaken. To worsen the situation, the king is somehow caving in to the demands irrationally. Stubbornly refusing to resign herself to the kingdom's seemingly inevitable fate, she is forced to leave her home in search for the root of the problems. Along with people of diverse backgrounds she comes to trust and a hotheaded boy with pyrokinesis named Kai, Alaina joins an uprising rebellion against the forming empire. But the rebellion is only the beginning of the end, for the end result isn't as perfect as how they have proudly perceived and imagined it to be - some sacrifices are destined to be made. *****{ Book 1 of The Recalcitrance Trilogy }* IMPORTANT! *No copyright infringement intended on the art of the cover.Art Credits: Alexandra V.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
