Young adult fantasy author Christine E. Schulze joins forces with thirteen diverse artists to create this special edition of her interracial fairy tale romance novella:"My heart was not broken, so do not think to fix it. I did rescue you. And I will care for you. But I will never fall in love with you.”Thus Sir Kaos Jaspar declares to Evren, the young damsel he rescues from the slave market on his journey south. Always south. Evren doesn’t understand why he is so focused on the south, or what made the scars on his arms—or what created the bigger scars on his heart, the ones that keep him from opening his heart to anyone, including her. She doesn’t even really understand why he saved her in the first place. All she understands is that she wants desperately to save him in return.Impossible, it seems. But Kaos is not the only one with secrets. There is more than meets the eye with Evren as well. More that has to do with the way she can see in the dark, make wishes on a sunset gemstone, and tell stories about a mysterious people who live in the stars.Sometimes, all it takes is just a little bit of faith and a wish upon a star to bring love and healing to life.What Readers Are Saying“One Starry Knight was an unexpectedly sentimental book and one that I would read again. It's simplicity gave it a certain beauty and truthfulness not often found and it's ending had me more than a little willing to read more of Schulze's novels.”~ Savannah Sutton, Goodreads“I'm not a fan of romantic stories, but I really did enjoy this one. I didn't expect the ending at all! I liked the theme of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances throughout, and Kaos was a fascinating character. I appreciated the author's decision to keep us readers guessing about his dark past until the end.”~ Sarah Jolly, Goodreads“Sort of like Tangled. Absolutely stunning, there are little words which can describe the sort of emotion that this story invokes...Miss Schulze has been known to write fantastical stories that have the feel of adventure and always ends with the soul of redemption, this goes a little deeper than that especially being a story that is so personal to the author. It allows you to see the soul of who she is as a person and I think that is very special...This is more than a love story or a tale of forgiveness, this is the heart of a talented and beautiful person laid bare for others to see, and I think that is a very brave thing for someone to do. I would definitely recommend this story to anyone I can because it is worth reading, thank you so much, Miss Schulze, for blessing this mortal plane with your ethereal stories, whatever doubt plagues you about the success of this story is false for you have made something that will be remembered for ages to come.”~ Alyssa, Amazon“C.E. Schulze has a writing style that puts you into the story! In One Starry Knight, Schulze transports you to a fantasy world that is so beautifully described you don’t have to work hard to imagine what the characters see...Whether you are a reader in love, a reader dealing with heartbreak, a reader afraid to love, or a reader anywhere in between, read this book!...Let Schulze’s words describe to you one of the most beautiful and sometimes devastating aspects of humanity... LOVE!”~ BethanyS, Amazon“A great story, I loved it. A new author I enjoy and intend to read her other books.”~ Pam, Goodreads

Magic, humor, and adventure on the high seas come together in this YA fantasy. More than just a pirate adventure, The Pirates of Meleeon is also a story of love, faith, and hope.Elia Roquette is fascinated by the charming stranger, Captain Jack Rocket, and not because he has purple hair. After all, so does she, being a princess of the Meleeon Archipelago. This new stranger is both more and less of a stranger than Elia realizes, for his name isn't really Jack Rocket. It's James Roquette. He's not really a captain of one of her father's ships but of the magical Sun Catcher, the most notorious pirate ship in the waters of the Meleeon Archipelago. He longs for the quiet, respectable life of a gentleman as much as she longs for a life of freedom and adventure outside the palace walls. Together, can they recapture the Moon Vessel and rescue Elia's fiancée, Nicolai, while unraveling the dark secrets of their past? And can Elia show James that it's not through material wealth and stability that true peace is found, but through inner peace of the heart and soul?What Readers Are Saying"The content of this story is just exceptional, the author has such a way of subtle messages of self growth and Christian influence within her story that ties it all together and really brings a sense of excitement to the reader as it brings the characters together even if they are from two different worlds...it is a story all its own which is just as riveting as any of the other stories that the wonderful author has created, the cover of the story also helps give a sort of hint about the content of the story and how the two worlds are about to go head to head then merge together. It is also a story of faith and finding a light of hope even in the darkest times."~ Aly, Amazon
