Expectations

For a long moment, no one spoke. No one moved. No one even breathed, except for me. Then suddenly, that fact clicked and I immediately grew worried and pushed backward into the wood of the carriage, desperately wishing it would absorb my body into its fibers.
"What are you?" I whispered fearfully, adrenaline beginning to pump through my veins.
Aron looked down at me with a hint of pity in his eyes, "Vampires."
For twenty years, Princess Ava has lived a sheltered life full of expectations and day dreams, but on the eve of her marriage to her precious fiance, Prince Adam, she is abducted by a nest of vampires seeking revenge upon the prince for something Ava never would have imagined in her wildest day dreams. Through her weeks of torture, she begins to understand that the world isn't what she thought it was and that love can mean vastly different things depending upon who is holding your heart. In the end, the decision of who lives and who dies lays in the hand of the princess who has been betrayed in a way that may have changed her life for better or perhaps not.---
This book is dedicated to Kori Goodson, a fellow pony lover and a wonderful friend. You inspired so many and you never had any idea that you were doing it. I am so glad to have spent the years sharing the love of our pony, Prince Caspian, with you. I wouldn't have shared it with anyone, but you. We both miss you more than you will ever know.
