I have just started reading this book called " A Creature Of Moonlight" and its really good. The book is fictional and has to do with a girl named Marni. Marni is the kings unwanted niece, a flower girl who lives in exile and a dragons daughter. Many years ago when Marni's mother committed treason and had a baby with a dragon of the woods, her brother, the king, was infuriated and killed her. Now Marni and her grandfather live in exile, growing flowers to make a living. The woods are a forbidden place were creatures will take you and never let we go. Now the woods are magically growing and are closing in on the kingdom. A women with no face is trying to take Marni, saying she must come home, but Marni always refuses because of her grandfather. Then her grandfather dies suspiciously and with vengeance in her heart Marni is out to kill the king. So of she goes to become a princess once more and to kill the man who has taken her heart.
The conflict in the book is really complicated because its constantly changing. Marni keeps finding out new things about her past and even her future so her mind is constantly changing. The woods keep moving closer and closer into the kingdom and now the king wants someone to blame. In the text the King says, " I should have killed her when I had the chance." This shows that Marni's uncle truely believes that the reason the woods are moving in is Marni's fault. Marni's ruthless uncle wants her dead but before that can happen Marni must kill him first. But then again, Marni is just a girl and although she is heart broken she doesn't have it in her to kill her own uncle. Then there is also the fact that Marni's father, a wild dragon is sending his woods to capture Marni. So even though she is the one being blamed for the woods, she is also the one who must save them all.
