Forbidden romances. Spells begging to be broken. Elemental beings born from flowers and caves. Four magical stories that echo sorrow, love, and the strength to overcome whatever obstacles.
Lily in the Snow: Mica Schist, a Rock Elemental, has lived all her life in the mountains with Pierson, her melancholy guardian. When Jewett, an Earth Elemental, visits their cave, Mica's world is turned upside-down, as is her heart. She has always longed for a life outside the cave, and Jewett can give her that and more. But even the gentle forests of Jewett's world cause Mica to lose her fragile crystals, her life source. Can Mica save herself and live the life she's always dreamed?
The Story-Teller: Eleesa's gift is that of storytelling. She has no problem embellishing the truth now and then. After all, she's never suffered the same consequences that befall the other Imps who misuse their gifts. However, when an old friend with a similar gift mysteriously reappears and shares his dark fate, Eleesa discovers that the consequences are much more severe than she could have ever imagined. Can she save herself, or is she sworn to the same doom?
Labyrinth: Heart of Stone: A wild gargoyle, a haughty dragon fairie, a mansion housing an endless maze of stairs, and not to mention, a handsome, brooding man made of stone. These magical elements combine to create the perfectly scandalous tale of Catherine, an Earth Elemental who sets out seeking freedom from the confines of high society, only to find it in the most unexpected ways.
Spyral: In this courageous tale, a Rock Elemental chooses to defy the unjust traditions of her people. Setting out on a journey to save herself and the one she loves, she ends up embarking on a much more personal journey of self-discovery.
The Amielian Legends is a collection of stand-alone young adult books, all set in the same fantastic universe, that can be read in any order. Read Lily in the Snow today to discover new worlds filled with adventure, diverse characters, and whimsical magic.

About the Author :
Christine E. Schulze has been living in castles, exploring magical worlds, and creating fantastical romances and adventures since she was too young to even write of such stories. Her collection of YA, MG, and children's fantasy adventure books, The Amielian Legacy, is comprised of series and stand-alone books that can all be read separately but also weave together to create a single, amazing fantasy. One of her main aspirations for The Amielian Legacy is to create grand fantasy adventures with characters that connect with readers from many different backgrounds. She has always believed strongly in including diversity in her books; right now her focus is on including racial diversity and characters with developmental disabilities. The latter is inspired by Schulze working with adults with autism and other developmental disabilities at Trinity Services in Southern Illinois. She also donates 25% of all royalties to ALFA, a local charity that supports many of Trinity's programs. Some of her exciting ventures include the publication of her award-winning Bloodmaiden, as well as The Stregoni Sequence and The Chronicles of the Mira with Writers-Exchange in both paperback and electronic forms. Her published books for younger readers include In the Land of Giants, The Amazing K, and The Adventures of William the Brownie. Her most recent project includes the professional re-editing and remastering of two YA fantasy series, The Gailean Quartet and The Hero Chronicles, the latter of which will be released under the new name A Shadow Beyond Time. For this series, she has also brought an amazing new co-author onto her team, Kira Lerner, whom she has used many a time as her editor for other works. Christine currently lives in Belleville, IL, but you can visit her on her website: http: //authorchristineschulze.com/
