Synopsis
Life has changed
dramatically for Cassandra Collier. She’s accepted her role as the Princess of
Mortisali. She’s more in love with Damon than she could have ever imagined, and
she has a life she desperately wants to live. The only problem? That pesky
little prophecy that follows her around like a shadow.
The pressure to speed her
life along isn’t quite as bad as she’d anticipated, but the antiquated laws she
has to live by make it impossible to take matters into her own hands,
especially when the love of her life is a man bound by morals and honor.
When duty pulls her away
from the palace and Damon, Cass finds herself ambushed by the veneficus.
Locked away by a formidable
enemy and surrounded by stone and hopelessness, Cass has no escape other than
retreating into her own head. The trouble is, she’s not the same girl who was
held in an asylum by complacency. She’s a princess, the princess of Mortisali,
and all it takes is a hint of light to emerge from the shadows for everything
to change...

Book 1 - Parallel - Synopsis
Cassandra Collier was only
seventeen when her parents dumped her in a psychiatric ward. Seven years later,
she still has no hope of leaving. Nothing’s changed. She still hears sounds
that can’t possibly be real - sounds of war and brutal deaths that she can’t
turn off. At least, not since his voice was silenced in her mind.
After a threat to her life
becomes very real, Cassandra is torn from the only world she’s ever known and
thrust into the very reality and truth that have been hidden from her since she
was born, including the prophecy that is her birthright.
Unsure whether she has the
strength to be the woman she needs to be, and more than aware that her decision
controls the fate of a world that doesn’t know she exists, Cassandra has to
choose between the love of a man who barely registers her existence and loyalty
to a father she barely knows.
Meet the Author
From a young age L.J. Stock
was led by her imagination. From the moment she could read she fell into worlds
where trees could talk and little girls could move things with their
minds.
In no hurry to grow up, she
found stories all around her, in the forests of Plym Bridge, the moss covered
hills of Dartmoor, then, as she grew older, the wide spread city of Houston,
where she currently resides and works. A constant daydreamer, she hopes that
one day, her passion can become something more than just a hobby for her.
Still led by her
imagination, the worlds have slowly grown from childish adventures to urban
fantasies and romances. With inspirational authors such as Enid Blyton, Roald
Dahl, Judy Blume, John Grisham and Stephen King guiding her through her life so
far, L.J. Stock has finally decided that it is time for her to go for gold and
try land herself on someone else’s future list of favorites.
Putting words on paper is
as essential as breathing to her, but on the rare occasions that she isn’t
writing, she can be found with a video game remote in hand or curled up on the
couch with her pup and a good book. Music is also such an important part of her
life, it’s a wonder there isn’t a background soundtrack playing wherever she
goes.
A good girl to most, a bad
girl to a few, L.J. believes that every genre should be attempted and is more
than likely to have tried to release three hundred series’ ranging from
vampires and werewolves, to dystopian and even classic romance, before she
reaches even middle age. At least, that’s the plan for now.
