Cathy and Joan

Cathy and Joan

‘Cathy and Joan’ is a fictional, romantic and very touching story which focuses on England during the Stuart period, a period when the distance between the rich and the poor in England had no bounds. The poor had no connection with the rich, but Joanna (Joan), an adopted poor little girl, had remarkable potentials which earned her the love and friendship of a little princess of England called Catherine (Cathy) Catherine showed how crazily in love she suddenly became with Joanna on the first day they met each other, when her body guard tried to separate her from Joanna and she hugged Joanna in response and refused to let go. ‘she is coming with me’ she cried and when this was finally resolved, she untied the ribbon on her beautiful long hair and tied Joanna’s tattered hair together as a sign of their covenant. Their unique friendship was supposed to last forever and it was supposed to stand as a convincing proof that the rich and the poor in great England would eventually unite one day. On the other hand, Joanna’s foster mother wasn’t comfortable with Joanna’s friendship with Catherine because she believed the rich were unquestionable bullies and the poor were always the victim and Cathy would make no difference. She believed Joan’s relationship with Cathy would eventually put Joan in to trouble. When the love birds grew, it looked like Joan’s foster mother was right for the tide turned and Cathy became the insanely jealous beast that furiously devoured poor Joanna- Wait! Lest I forget, before this ironical incident occurred, Cathy was about to tell Joanna a horror story and may be Cathy didn’t actually murder her childhood friend in cold blood, may be Cathy made that up in her horror story just to simultaneously scare and amuse her friend.

sob a coroa do desejo

sob a coroa do desejo

Sob a Coroa do Desejo Em Calêndria, profecias não são apenas histórias antigas — são armas. Quando Íris chega ao reino marcada como presságio de ruína, todos acreditam saber quem ela é: a estrangeira que trará guerra durante o eclipse anunciado. Criada entre desconfianças e corredores de pedra, ela aprende cedo que o poder veste máscaras e que as lendas podem ser moldadas por mãos interessadas. Vinícius, herdeiro do trono, foi ensinado a governar de cima. Mas ao descer para a Vila do Campo, descobre que reinos não se sustentam com decretos — e sim com mãos sujas de terra e escolhas difíceis. Entre o peso da coroa e a verdade do povo, ele precisa decidir que tipo de rei deseja ser. Enquanto isso, Raven — o demônio que ri demais para ser apenas vilão — transita entre sombras e ironias, observando o tabuleiro político com um olhar que enxerga além da guerra anunciada. E Beatriz, presa entre o sangue e o amor, descobre que lealdade pode ser a prisão mais silenciosa de todas. Quando o eclipse finalmente cobre o céu, a verdade vem à tona: a profecia foi manipulada. A antiga lenda não falava de destruição, mas de união entre Calêndria e Brumélia. E o que parecia destino era, na verdade, medo disfarçado. Sob a coroa do desejo, cada personagem precisará escolher — poder ou verdade, herança ou liberdade, guerra ou encontro. Porque às vezes o fim de um reino não começa com espadas. Começa com alguém dizendo: não. E algumas sombras… não encerram a história. Elas anunciam outra.
