The Hybrid King's Reluctant Mate
Diannah Valeron's mundane university life shatters when a mysterious portal snatches her from her bedroom and throws her into the heart of Atlantis. She discovers not only that she's been adopted, but that she's not human, destined to be the soulmate of the formidable King Gabriel. Trapped in a world of wizards and ancient prophecies, Diannah must confront her true identity and navigate a dangerous path that could save or destroy them all. Will she accept her fate or fight to return to a life that may no longer be hers?The blaring alarm, affectionately named 'Tipo,' dragged Diannah Valeron from her slumber. "Argh!" she groaned, burying her head under a pillow, wishing for a few more moments of peace. From downstairs, her mother's cheerful voice drifted up, "Hon, you need to get up now!"
Diannah, a university student with a small circle of friends, lived a comfortable, ordinary life in Manchester, England. Her days were a familiar rhythm of classes, friends, and family. After a quick morning routine, she dressed in her usual ripped jeans and a white t-shirt, her baby face with its button nose and green eyes looking back from the mirror.
Downstairs, her parents waited, their warm smiles a comforting start to the day. Breakfast was cereal and eggs, a healthy but predictable affair. "Bye dad, bye mom!" she called out, grabbing her bag and heading for her Mazda CX-5, a beloved 18th birthday gift. She drove to the University of Manchester, an average student who learned best by listening, not cramming.
Her university life was, by her own admission, pretty boring. But that was about to change. Drastically.
