The Heir by Kayla Eshbaugh

When a boy moves in across the street during the summer before Emma’s junior year of high school, she is instantly drawn to him. With the recent loss of her parents, pain and sorrow is all she feels but, when she is around Shad, Emma’s pain is gone and her soul seems to literally sing. For the first time since the loss of her parents, she feels as if she might be able to have a happy regular life with Shad by her side.

That is, she thought she could have a regular life, and maybe she would have, if she was just an average person.
But average and normal?
No, Emma is not that at all.
Emma is the heir to a kingdom in the land of Terra. A land where fairytales and magic are real and a land that is currently on the brink of destruction. Emma is the only one who can save the land. But, Emma has no desire to be a princess, or save a strange land. All she wants is to heal after the loss of her parents, go to homecoming, and maybe have her first real kiss.

Will Emma have the life she desires? Or will she be pulled in too deep to ever go back to any semblance of a normal life again?

This is the five year anniversary edition which has been polished even more and expanded upon.
