Love the one you're with

"How can I truly love the one I'm with when I can't forget the one who got away?" 

Ellen and Andy were happily married. Though new in the field of married couples, the two makes it easier to adapt to their new world. sweet, endearing and committed, the two establishes what every couple wish for in their relationships. it seems to be a perfect match for the both of them, until Ellen's past crawled in.

Ellen rushed into Leo, her ex-boyfriend, one day, and from there on everything had changed.

whom will she choose? the one who got away and was not ready to settle in until years after they broke did he realized that Ellen was the one? or the person who accepted Ellen for who she is, and loved her the most?

this is a story of betrayal and relationships--how it takes to commit, and how it takes to risk saying "yes" to marriage.
[two people who chose to be together must also choose to let the relationship work. and if things are not working the way they chose it, it's just not meant for them]

Fire: Book Two of the Seven Kingdoms

"Do you understand? I don't want you to do a thing if you don't understand it." 

The Kingdom of Dells house different kinds of monsters-- monsters with their exotic and extravagant colors. beasts with ravaging strength and powerful claws. not only do these monsters scare the people of Dells, they try to control them. They possess a power that can control minds, and what's another thing amazing about them is that they can breed with humans.

Fire is half-bred monster and human. she is the remaining to exist after her father killed all the half-breeds. Fire lived in a place where everyone seems to be angry with her, because of her fathers cruelty and because of her father's thirst for blood and for chaos.Every man adores her lustfully, like predators tempted by their preys. Every woman pangs her with jealousy and rage every time she passes by. All people must learn how to protect their minds from her, blocked them as hard as possible.she is really good in controlling them, once a hole is seen. But she is not her father, and she will never do things like controlling them or hurting them.

Will Fire have the chance to prove that there is nothing to compare her with her father? or will she be accustomed to all their talks about her, and just stay with the people who willingly understands her?

this is a story of friendship and trust. an adventure to look forward to. :)

Graceling: Book One of the Seven Kingdoms


"When a monster stopped behaving like a monster, did it stop being a monster? Did it become something else?"  

She was graced to KILL.

In the seven kingdoms, gracelings were properties of their kings.Gracelings bore graces, from the simplest one of chopping woods, to the most complicated one of mind reading. every graceling is bound to serve their kings and are being kept away from their families. They are distinguished by the two colors inhibited in their eyes. Katsa had them, one blue and the other green.

every one in the seven kingdoms feared her, because of her grace. no one wishes to encounter her, and this is what made her uncle, the king of Middluns, used her to threat other kingdoms. no one dares to mess with the King of Middluns because of Katsa, and she grew anxious to this. Anger is building inside her, and slowly she learned to rebel.

all she understands, is that she was bound to obey the King's order, and there is no way she can disagree with him. until the time she met Prince Po. he taught her how to fight, that she has her own life to lead, and she should not be a dog of her uncle. Prince PO was also graced, though Prince Po lied to her, their togetherness and chemistry brought the safety of Princess Bitterblue, Prince Po's cousin who was in great danger under her Father's regime.

this is a story of two brave souls, who won their battle because of trust and courage. another book to be turned into a movie. :)

The Necromancer

San Francisco:
Josh and Sophie Newman are finally home, And they're both more confused than ever about their future. Neither of them has mastered the magics they'll need to protect themselves, they've lost Scatty, and they're still being pursued by Dr. John Dee. Most disturbing of all, however, is that now they must ask themselves, can they trust Nicholas Flamel? Can they trust anyone?

Alcatraz:
Dr. Dee underestimated Perenelle Flamel's power. Alcatraz could not hold her, Nereus was no match for her, and she was able to align herself with the most unlikely of allies. But she wasn't the only one being held on the island. Behind the prison's bars and protective sigils were a menagerie of monsters, and now Machiavelli has come to Alcatraz to loose them on San Francisco.

Perenelle might be powerful, but each day she weakens, and even with Nicholas back at her side, a battle of this size could be too much for her. Nicholas and Perenelle must fight to protect the city, but the effort will probably kill them both.

London:
Having been unable to regain the two final pages of the Codex, Dee has failed his Elder and is now an outlaw.

But the Magician has a plan. With the Codex and the creatures on Alcatraz, he can control the World. All he needs is the help of the Archons. But for his plan to work, he must raise the Mother of the Gods from the dead. For that, he'll have to train a necromancer.

The Sorceress

Nicholas Flamel's heart almost broke as he watched his beloved Paris crumble before him. The city was destroyed by Dee and Machiavelli, but Flamel played his own role in the destruction. Sophie and Josh Newman show every sign of being the twins of prophecy, and Flamel had to protect them and the pages from the Dark Elders.

But Nicholas grows weaker with each passing day. Perenelle is still trapped in Alcatraz, and now that Scatty has gone missing, the group is without protection. Except for Clarent--the twin sword to Excalibur. But Clarent's power is unthinkable, its evil making it nearly impossible to use without its darkness seeping into the soul of whoever wields it.

If he hopes to defeat Dee, Nicholas must find an Elder who can teach Josh and Sophie the third elemental magic--Water Magic. The problem? The only one who can do that is Gilgamesh, and he is quite, quite insane.
