Destiny

The Princess and the Roach (Part One of Serial Novel)

Destiny: The Princess and the Roach is the first episode of a grand, sweeping serial novel that blends historical romance with fairy-tale retellings. Rose, the eldest of three daughters, is promised to marry a prince and become queen in a distant land, but she suffers a far different fate. Naturally free-spirited and independent, she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage with a man bordering on insanity. Suspected of betrayal, she is imprisoned before she is given wine laced with a powerful sleeping draught that causes her to fall into a deep slumber that can only be lifted by true love's kiss.

Never would she have expected to be woken by Severin Roch, the all-conquering military genius who intends to make her his bride. He is small and wiry, yet ferocious. He seeks to ensnare her, but Rose is not quite so ready to be dominated by another man after what she has survived. So, the question is: who is the real conqueror?

This serial novel promises surprising twists and turns, grand romance, and a blend of fantasy, history, and gothic atmosphere reminiscent of Napoleon and Josephine, Beauty and the Beast, and Sleeping Beauty.

Contains mature themes that are intended for adult audiences only.
