Storyteller

Looking for a 'just kisses' fated mates, sweet romance? Oh, did I mention there are dragons? Yes, dragons... a quest... and Goldie Locke lives next door.

Callie has always known she was a Storyteller, and that Storytellers marry other storytellers, which in Callie's world meant no dating until she turns 17.

On Callie's 17th birthday, her Storyteller powers manifest. She does something most artists would do, and tells a story that she would draw her Storyteller soulmate.

The problem is that she draws JJ, the High School boy that started out the school year in jail.

Now, what is Callie supposed to do?

Alison is turning 17, which isn't a big deal unless you were born a Storyteller. When a Storyteller turns 17, their powers kick in and every story they tell will come true. The only problem is Alison is about to face the biggest challenge of her life.

There is a catch to keeping her story powers... she has a Storyteller soulmate. Each couple must spend a year in the village of Angeline to keep their powers, or they will lose them forever.

Cassius is brash, and opinionated. He has a temper, and a love for music. When he finds Alison crashing his imaginary town of Angeline, he erupts in anger.

Penny has been keeping a secret from everyone since she turned 17. She has story powers, just like her grandmother. There are other Storytellers, but she's never met them until she runs into Conrad in college.

Conrad, future marine biologist, is a Storyteller. Being a Storyteller doesn't stop him from having responsibilities like chipping in and picking up his younger brother, Kade, from ball practice. When he tries to get out of it, his father, Cassius Boik, lays into him on campus.

Once upon a time...there was a girl. She lived in a small village. It's been so long no one is sure which one. The village was not well protected. The girl and her family feared for their lives. Her father was pulled into the war and died. Later, her 3 brothers were pulled into the war and they too died. Eventually, it was only the mother and the daughter. They escaped and found an abandoned cabin in the woods. They made a life there. The mother became sick. There came a day when the mother was desperate. She knew she was going to die soon. She held her daughter to her chest and gave her a hug. She told her daughter a story of better days.

'I wish stories were real.' The teenage girl told her mother after the story was over.

'I wish every story you ever tell comes true.' The mother placed a kiss on her forehead. 'May God make it so.'

'If God granted me that, the first thing I would do is make a story where you are healthy and we were safe.' The girl whispered. 'With plenty of food to eat.'

'Amen.' The mother said.

When they woke up the next day, the mother was well. The cupboards were full of food. They lived there safely for many years. Angeline became the first Povestitor or Storyteller. She met a man named Dorin. They fell in love and they married. Their children were Andrei, Anton, Calin, and Zamfira. Not long after Zamfira was born, Angeline's mother died. It was a sad time for them. Angeline decided she wanted a fresh start. Dorin agreed. They moved away. When they moved, the family took the last name Poveste, meaning story. By then, Angeline knew she was a Storyteller and her children had started showing the signs of a Storyteller like their mother as they turned 17.
