Book Description
A princess in a tower. A prince hidden at birth. Together, they'll tear down walls. The townspeople call her the Tower Princess, but Gressa's life is no fairy tale. She's never understood why she's been separated from the rest of the kingdom, but now that she's older the pieces are coming together. For too long she's been trapped in her brother's scheme to find a way through the magical wall dividing their kingdom in two. She doesn't expect any help from the prince to the south, even if he did manage to bumble his way to her rescue. If she could pick anyone to form an alliance, it would be the squire she watches train from her window; he shows promise. But, confined to her tower, there's nothing she can do...or is there? One day a hole opens up in the Dividing Wall and with it, a chance for Gressa to change everything. The Tower Princess is the first book in the Lost Fairy Tales series, a collection of loosely-connected stand-alone novels. If you like classic fairytale stories and sweet romance, then you'll love Gressa and Manny's desperate quest for rescuing their kingdom.

The Princess in the Tower
Author: K.D. West
Publisher: Stillpoint Digital Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
A lady knight rescues the princess from the highest tower... And discovers passion neither of them ever knew When Rose's father fails to come back from an attempt to save Princess Lily from a neighboring kingdom from the notorious and mysterious Black Knight, she does not hesitate to strap on her father's old armor, and ride into the dark forest to defeat the knight and rescue the princess herself. A steamy lesbian Arthurian romance short, The Princess in the Tower is bestselling author K.D. West's modern take on a very old story — exciting, fun... and very, very sexy. Preview: Rose staggered her way to the high tower, pulling her way up the winding stair. As she reached the top, breathless and sweating in her not-quite-red armor, she found a room not entirely unlike her own at home: beautiful tapestries on two curved walls, arms on the other two. And in the middle, a large bed. And on the bed, the most beautiful creature that Rose had ever seen. Rose had spent most of her time with her father, with her brothers and with the men of her father’s manor. Oh, she knew the other girls and women, but since her mother’s death when Rose was little, none had been her friend. She had always been Sir Roland’s daughter to them: the young mistress. The young mistress who liked to play with swords and disdained dresses for all but feast days. The women of the valley were working folk who wore home-spun clothes. She herself was as sturdily built as many of the older boys and favored trousers and tunics. She’d never known any woman like the one who slept on the bed. The princess — for this must be she — was tiny, where Rose was large, and pale, where Rose was ruddy. She wore a dress of flowing, white silk that shown in the dim morning light of the chamber. Her hair was like spun faery gold and her lips... (Steamy lesbian fantasy romance. F/F, first love, magic.)

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
The murder of the Princes in the Tower is the most famous cold case in British history. Traditionally considered victims of their ruthless uncle, there are other suspects too often and too easily discounted. There may be no definitive answer, but by delving into the context of their disappearance and the characters of the suspects, Matthew Lewis examines the motives and opportunities afresh, as well as asking a crucial but often overlooked question: what if there was no murder? What if Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, survived their uncle's reign and even that of their brother-in-law Henry VII? In this new and updated edition, compelling evidence is presented to suggest the Princes survived, which is considered alongside the possibility of their deaths to provide a rounded and complete assessment of the most fascinating mystery in history.

The one thing they can agree on is that neither brother wants to move to Chicago for a fresh start with their mom two years after their dad’s death. The boys soon discover that their new apartment building, Brunhild Tower, is full of strange quirks: a mysterious Princess who warns them not to wander the building at midday, eerie sounds coming from the walls, and an elevator that’s missing a button for the thirteenth floor. Then one afternoon, that button appears, catapulting the brothers and their inquisitive new neighbor, Tamika, into a parallel dimension and a twin building stuck in time, where the spirits of all the former residents of Brunhild Tower live on, trapped by an ancient curse. Now, Colm, Mal, and Tamika must race against time to solve the mystery of the phantom tower—or risk spending an eternity as ghosts themselves.
