When you control music, every note is a weapon. Most girls don't think twice about singing along with their favorite song on the radio. Not me. I hum once and it zombifies the hottest guy in school. 
The Pied Piper was real and I am his descendant. Music is my curse. If I don't master the song inside myself, it will overpower me, and if that happens... Let's put it this way: the last piper to lose control led a town-full of children to a river and started the plague. 
Welcome to my life.

Excerpt:
Nivian jumped over the edge of the bridge, landing with a soft tap on the surface of the water. She reached down, pulled the soul of the driver up by the collar of his shirt, and stood him up next to her on top of the water. She took the drivers hand palm up in hers, waving her other hand over his. She pinched the air and pulled, lifting up and exposing his life string, his wide eyes were hypnotized by the glowing string. She grabbed the scythe strapped to her back and swung. With a slow deliberate movement she sliced the human’s thread. The light formed a ball and hovered as she pulled out the small pocket watch. The life light floated down to the watch and sunk into it, disappearing. With a snap, she closed the watch and returned it to her pocket.
“You really shouldn’t drink and drive; you could have seriously hurt someone,” she said giving him an apathetic look. He gaped at her, mouth opening and closing like a fish. “Yes, you really are dead.” She confirmed as she started to turn away.
“Are you … the devil?” he managed to sputter.
“No, of course not. I am just the natural order of things,” she said, briefly looking back at him. “Wait here; your spirit counselor will be here soon for you to guide you to your afterlife. I have other jobs tonight,” She turned, walking away as she pulled her hood back up over her head and vanished.

Snippet:
“People should be free to choose, once they are old enough to know what they want, and can take respon­sibility for their choices,” I whispered, watching you, my little baby, asleep so peaceful in contrast to the rage that brewed in me.“How could your father condemn you this way while forcing me to stand by, unable to do anything but des­pair? I know he felt wretched. That doesn’t help the pain in my soul.“I begged him on my knees, but it was no use. Your path in life was sealed and no human could break it asunder. All I could do was leave the sad scene, crying miserably with you in my arms.“Still, I am not alone in my misery. Before they left, she murmured that she wanted something different, but it was too late. She was as devastated as I.“I … could hardly bear the burden put on my shoul­ders by them. Oh, Elizabeth, I tried my child, I tried to protect you and I have failed you…”
Once Upon Two Kingdoms is a marvelous comedy of errors on this young adult medieval romantic fantasy. A number of years ago, the rulers of two neighboring countries, Bella Vista and Trebolett, made an agreement that their children would marry when they came of age. This would unite the two kingdoms and was considered customary practice. Royal children were expected to serve their country rather than marrying for love. Prince Patrick of Trebolett and Princess Elizabeth of Bella Vista are both infuriated when their parents finally tell them of the arrangement. Neither of them relishes the idea of marrying a stranger, and they both leave their parents in a huff. Patrick rides into the woods that he loves so well, and Princess Elizabeth takes off on her horse and gets lost. She wanders until a distant campfire's light acts as a beacon. There she meets a charming young man who offers her food and lodging for the evening, and he also shows her the stars.
Praises for Once Upon two KingdomsJack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite said:The author tells her story in a wry and slightly humorous tone that fits the plot perfectly. Her writing is smooth and easy, and the story just reaches out and grabs the reader. Once Upon Two Kingdoms: A Royal Romance delivers the magic and promise that is all too often missing in epic fantasy, and it does so brilliantly. It's most highly recommended.Author Roseanne WilkinsonWhen I first started reading, I thought it was a re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty story where two royal heirs are forced into an arranged marriage, fall in love with each other without knowing who they are, and have a happily-ever after. In the beginning, it had that feel, but it quickly turned into a different story with an evil counselor designing for both thrones. Anna must've studied some fencing, because her description of the sword battles was well done. I had a hard time putting the book down because I really had no idea how the story would go. This is a book suitable for all ages.

Genre: YA Fantasy
Book Synopsis: 
Crystal Gate by Pendragon Inman
The chance to defeat their enemy may cost him his soul.
When the Okoru death auctioneer arrives from the mainland and starts enforcing new laws, Wyan—a newly awakened Void elemental—taps into his powers to defend his home. When the situation turns deadly, the entire village is put in danger. 
As everything familiar crumbles around him, Wyan is presented with the opportunity for revenge—a quest deep in the heart of the Okoru world that, if successful, would turn the tide of war in the Mystics' favor. If he fails, however, he will lose everything. A race against time becomes a battle of wills as Wyan must choose between a path of secrets or one of sacrifice.
“I was immediately pulled into the fascinating world of Crystal Gate. The magic system is definitely unique and well-done. Most of all, though, I enjoyed seeing the growth of Wyan's character throughout the story.” Berin L. Stephens, author of Dragon War Relic.“This story promises to bring a tale full of adventure and excitement to all who read it.” Daniel Noyes“If you’ve read Fire Gate, you won’t want to miss Crystal Gate, book two of the Shinehah Saga. Pendragon Inman knows how to write high fantasy with a classic touch of humor. Come find yourself immersed in a different world, where challenges are around every corner and the battle has only begun.” Cathy Witbeck

**Review Must be posted within three weeks after you've received the ARC.**
