My version of the choices novel, "The Unexpected Heiress".

In 1913's England, newly wealthy American Heiress Amelia Hayes was set to marry Mr. Francis Somserset, the future Viscount of Windcroft Manor, one of the most prestigious country estates in England, in a arrangement that would greatly benefit both her family and Francis' family, who have been hit with finanical hardships; unfortunately, a short while before her wedding day, she dies suddenly, and unexpectedly.

A month later, Francis now has a new bride to fill Amelia's void; her younger half-sister, Marianne. Marianne, for her own part, is determined to fulfill the arrangement, but not before she and her older brother, Garrick, get an answer to the question they've been asking: Who killed Amelia, and why?

Soon after arriving in England, Marianne and Garrick find themselves navigating not just a whole new continent;,but also a new world that they never knew Amelia was involved in. Involving garden parties, galas, a Debutante Ball, and even political gatherings.  As they work to solve the mystery behind her death, Marianne begins to wonder of her heart truly belongs to Francis...or someone else.

Fauns dancing around fires. Griffins soaring high. Unicorns galloping across wide fields and centaurs battling giants. These are things Amelia Cromwell sees every day. She doesn't know how they happen or why she sees them but every time she looks through a rain covered window or at a patterned wall, they're there. Does she feel crazy and odd about these sensational images? Absolutely. It feels like something is missing in her life, but what? Now that her father has gone off to war she has to stay at the beautifully empty mansion of Professor Kirke. When four siblings arrive at the mansion, Amelia's life is thrown upside down. With an irritable boy, an emotional little girl and two protective older siblings, life could not have suddenly become more complicated. Throw a mystical land and magical creatures into the mix, and the result is confusion, anger, hope and love. Edmund Pevensie seems ready to grind Amelia into a million pieces, but when she is his only comfort and last hope in a land where nothing is familiar, could love bloom in the depths of his shadowed heart? ****************** "Yes. I'm not ready to die yet. There's still so much I have to do..." "Like what?" He sighed, "I've always wanted to sign up for the army - to help us win the war so that other children don't have to be separated from their parents like we were. I need to see my dad again, make sure he's okay and not dead with a bullet in his chest. I have to... apologize to Peter for being a complete arsehole of a brother. I have to tell Susan that I'm really thankful for her making sure I'm okay, even when I was so rude to her. I have to tell Lucy that despite all the problems we had as brother and sister, I love her... I love all of them... more than they know..." Amelia heard a single sniffle as he tried to wipe away the tears at his eyes by rubbing his head against the fabric on his shoulder. "We'll get out of here, Ed, you'll be able to tell them all. I'll make sure of it."
