When a young royal finds himself falling for the woman forbidden to him by his people, he breaks all convention to pursue her. Aiden, a newer king, gives his heart to a witch known as White Fay, and marries her despite his kingdom's wishes. Legend has it that mortals and witches can't conceive, but despite all the odds, Aiden and White Fay bring a young girl, Emily, into the world. But their bundle of joy brings forth a life changing backlash from the monarchy. The witch bloodline is nearly wiped out entirely, and the little girl disappears into obscurity, for a time.

Many years later Emily resurfaces, alone, unaware of her parent's identity, and cursed to live life as a wolf in the Dark Forest. Emily's curse only allows her to turn human for a short span of time. When she encounters a young man from the outside world who offers to help her find her parents, she takes him up on the offer. Will she be able to re-connect with her parents and find out the story behind their disappearance? And if she does, will she be prepared for the truth behind why they abandoned her?

June BOTM - Fracture by Megan Miranda


Book Blurb from Amazon:

Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine - despite the scans that showed significant brain damage. Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?

Then Delaney meets Troy Varga, who recently emerged from a coma with similar abilities. At first she's reassured to find someone who understands the strangeness of her new existence, but Delaney soon discovers that Troy's motives aren't quite what she thought. Is their gift a miracle, a freak of nature-or something much more frightening?

How will she do that, you ask?

Interview

1. Please tell the readers a bit about yourself.

I'm 14, have red hair and multi-coloured eyes. I love anything sugary, and absolutely adore my shih tzu, Kiki. I love writing and reading, it lets me escape the world for a little while.

2. What types of books do you write?

I write Historical Fiction, Romance, Fantasy and Teen Fiction.

3. How many books have you written?

I've started a few, but the only one I'm really into and committed to is The Villain Vs Prince Charming.

4. What movie and/or book are you looking forward to this year?

I'm looking forward to the second Hunger Games movie: Catching Fire.

5. What type of books do you enjoy reading?

I enjoy any, really; I'm always willing to read new and different genres. But, my favourite's are Teen-Fiction and (non-cliche) werewolf stories.

6. If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you want with you?

1. My dog Kiki
2. A mini fridge (obviously!)
3. A wind-up torch - I'm deathly scared of the dark!

7. Are you considering a sequel?

I am actually, for The Villain Vs Prince Charming.

8. What inspired you to become a writer?

My head has always been filled with thoughts and words and I've always had some sort of inspiration, so I started off by writing songs and poems. Poems transformed into short stories, and short stories transformed into novels.


Excerpt

Smiling sweetly, I crouched down to the height of the maid and whispered into her ear.

"Thank you for the information. Now get ready to die."

The maid's eyes widened to the size of ping pong balls and she cried out in fear.

"No! Please n-"

Before she had time to finish the sentence, my knife had lodged itself in her neck, and her large green eyes clouded into a blank grey colour.

Wiping the knife on the corpses dress, I stood up, brushing some dust off me as I did.

"Well," I thought, "next destination, the forest."

Smiling, I left the small room and headed upstairs to my never-ending supply of disguises.

My name is Kayla Summers, and I'm the fairytale villain.
