Unknown
Islands Series Book 1
by
Mindy Mather
Genre:
YA Fantasy Romance
Malina
is the princess of her great island home known as Gieria. As such she
knows she must fulfill certain duties, but she happens to be in love
with the one guy that her mother, the queen, hates. Together they
must overcome that obstacle and stop the threat of Malina's would be
suitor who only wishes to become king and to do away with her.
Malina
paced before her mother’s throne, lost in thought. Occasionally,
she would cast her glance to her mother, before lowering her orchid
eyes to the marble floor of the throne room that she had seen many
times before. She focused on it as though she had never taken in the
details of it before. Her long purple gown complimented her light
blue skin in the low candlelight that surrounded the throne. In the
dim lighting, her dark blue spikes appeared darker then they usually
were, and in her frustration, she flicked her tail back and forth
wildly. “Mother!
I am only eighteen, I cannot be wed yet.” She blurted out. “Not
only do I have no one I wish to wed, I have much more for my life
then all of this.” She explained, her pacing increased. She wished
she could get her mother to see that she wasn’t ready for ruling,
wasn’t ready for any of her mother’s expectations. Her
mother let out an aggravated sigh. She knew that she was being
stubborn, but she was just like her mother so why wouldn’t she be?
Queen Shema shook her head and Malina watched the shadows of it. “You’ll
not be able to fulfill your duties to Gieria if you do not marry and
produce an heir for our people. It is our custom. You are the
rightful ruler of these people. Do they mean so little to you?” Malina
felt the weight of it all. She didn’t want it. Her mother couldn’t
be dying. “The medicine will work, so we don’t even have to worry
about that.” She tried. It appears her mother did not hear her
though because next she was asking about potential guys. “What
about Scepter? He is cute. Outside of that, he just seems like a
great possibility in your suitor search.” What
suitor search. She
thought. There is only one person she would consider, Rex, her secret
boyfriend that she had to keep from her mother’s knowledge. She
didn’t want to marry anyone else outside of him, but her mother
would never let her marry him because of something he had done as a
child. The thought of Scepter made her skin crawl. As the weight of
her mother’s suggestion sank in, she froze. Fixing her eyes on her
mother, she was sure the irritation showed. “Mother...”
she huffed, “I’ll give it to him, he is cute. But, looks are not
what getting married is about. You taught me that, and now just
because Scepter is cute, you want me to marry him?” She grumbled
under her breath about how her mother knew she couldn’t stand
Scepter. She shook her head. “It’s out of the question.” Her
mother sighed heavily. “He is a suitable choice though, it is a
good point that he is cute though. It means your babies will be cute.
I’m going to be here forever, Malina.” “No.”
Malina responded. “Now, did you take your medicine today?” “Yes.”
Malina knew that it wasn’t working, but she couldn’t face that.
It meant her mother would be gone, it meant she would be expected to
marry and present an heir. It was too much to take in. Malina
sighed. “Good. I will see you later, I’m going out now.” She
headed for the exit. “Where?” Malina
didn’t want her mother trying to control her life, she was old
enough to make her own decisions. By her mother’s attitude anyway,
she wouldn’t be looking to her for approval much longer. It pained
her to think of it like that. “Just going out, I’ll be home
shortly after sunset.” She responded as she left. The
palace guards granted her passage and pushed the heavy wooden doors
open for their princess to go out to the city. She walked freely
among the streets of the city, no guards with her. The beloved city
sprang to life around her. There were birds calling, the whisper of
the wind through the trees, vivid fabrics being waved before her, and
food choices of every sort being presented to her to try. She just
pushed through the crowds and wound her way through the numerous
roads between houses until she finally came to her destination. Rex.
After the conversation with her mother, she needed to see him.
My name is Mindy M. Mather,
I
have always enjoyed writing, ever since I was a young girl. As I got
older I took a liking to Romance Novels specifically and decided that
I wanted to write my own.
My
first novel, A Tragic Miracle, actually started out as a Sims 2
Machinima series that I made in 2008 and later decided to turn it
into a book. It is one of my best stories, but I have many more that
I am in the process of finishing.
I
hope that all of you will enjoy my books and if your interested in my
sims 2 videos, they are on youtube. My youtube name is TMP200000.
