What would you do for freedom?

Most girls dream about being a princess, but not Arabella Charming. She is tired of the duties, gowns, and titles. Being normal would be nice for a change. With all these rules suffocating her, anger begins to blossom towards others. Including the unsuspecting, delicious gardener.

As each day passes, Arabella finds herself in a fight or flight mode.
When her father auctions her up to another kingdom, she knows her time is up.

With little knowledge of her mother's past and a crown at stake, she runs away in search of a family she has never met in exchange for freedom. This one decision changes everything. With Arabella's world crumbling around her, will she be able to save it all or watch as everyone she loves dies?

The Kingdoms and Curses series is made up of standalone, complete stories in each book. All stories are set in the same world and may overlap at times but they don't have to be read in order or even together.

International Shipping

We offer international shipping to the following countries: New Zealand and other countries upon request.

New Zealand options are preprogrammed on the website, you don’t need to contact us for those unless you want over 6 books.

Other countries are done by request due to COVID-19 restrictions, delays and prices. Just send an email to (britt@fictionandfriction.com.au) with the books you’re interested in (they must be in stock) along with your address including your country. Once those details are received, we will let you know if they can be shipped to your address and a shipping quote. You’re under no obligation to order once you know the price. I understand how insane the international shipping prices are.

If you do not contact Fiction & Friction prior to placing an order you'll be billed for the excess shipping cost. You're welcome to email and ask for the order to be cancelled if it's too expensive. There has been an influx of international orders using the wrong shipping options at the check out. If you'd like to go through with the order you just need to pay the excess shipping. If you'd like to cancel just let us know.

How do I check the status of my order?

When your order has shipped, you’ll receive an email notification which will include a tracking number you can use to check its status. Please allow up to 48 hours for the tracking information to become available.

Refunds, Returns & Exchanges

We don’t accept returns or exchanges for change of mind. All sales are final.

I do my absolute best to make sure all orders are packaged safety but sometimes packages are put through the ringer during transit.

We address these on a case-by-case basis but will try our best to work towards a satisfactory solution.
