At the break of their eighteenth birthday, the young adults of Selkie travel in droves to drink Sunburst. The serum is concocted by the priests, who in ceremony bless each person in finding their Twin Ray.

Islet has waited eighteen long years and is eager to know the face of her soul mate. In a cruel twist of fate, she learns that the Holy One has paired her with royalty. But not just any royalty, Prince Cerulean of the neighboring country, who has recently announced his engagement to Princess Marilla of Selkie. The same princess that Islet can't stand.

Twin Ray was created by Natutzzi Powell, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author. 

Twin Ray

I exit the carriage with Princess Angela on our way to the dress maker. The door is already open. 


A worker is passing out flyers for the shop while calling to every woman on the street to compliment them. 


“Hello, Your Highness. Welcome to Seamstress Alley. It is a pleasure to have you.” She says in a cheerful voice. 


She ushers us inside straight to the head seamstress. 


“Oh dear princess Angela you’ve returned.” The seamstress says flapping her long exaggerated lashes.


“Yes, I have. But today is not for me.” Princess Angela says. She motions towards me. “This is crown Prince Cerulean’s royal consort. You may recognize her from the papers.”


“What a pleasant surprise. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.” The seamstress flails her arms before taking a bow with the skirts of her dress spread to either side.
