End of Ever After

End of Ever After: A Cinderella Retelling

When Ella received the invitation to the prince's ball, the last thing she expected was to turn the prince's head—let alone run off with his heart.

But five years later, she is the queen, and people call her CinderElla. Ignored and demeaned for most of her life, Ella can hardly believe her change of fortune.

She however, in the same vein, cannot anticipate what is to follow: the lies, the betrayal, not even the truth about her handsome Prince Charming.

Ella thus becomes desperate to find out how everything went horribly wrong, and what she can do to get back her ever after.

The Sapphire Legend

The Sapphire Legend: Part 1

In Sapere’s tribe, select families are blessed with a gift that is passed from father to son, generation to generation. Something however went horribly wrong when she was born, and she now has her family's gift, when she essentially shouldn't.

When her village is ambushed on the eve of her wedding, the survivors flee to the Wild with the hope of seeking refuge—albeit in a dangerous place filled with deadly predators.

Out there, Sapere feels like an outsider: unable to fit into the old way, unaccepted by the new, and afraid of being shunned by both. Can she overcome the very nature of her birth and mold her own future, or will she forever be bound by the anomaly that makes her different?

The Sapphire Legend: Part 2

It’s been months since the destruction of Sapere’s village forced the survivors to flee into the Wild—where her secret was discovered. Surviving the attack, the flood, and the Wild itself is indicative of just how much stronger they have grown as a people; even becoming comfortable...perhaps too comfortable.

Convinced that they must find the last of the Oro tribes and warn them in time about the impending Pliz danger, Sapere and Venatore take to scouring the Wild for the Great Blue Waters.

But Sapere’s gift and position on Council is an anomalous break from tradition, one that their sister tribe won't accept.

Will leaving the familiarity of the Wild bring more harm than good? What if those who lived through the first attack don't live to tell about the second?
