The Lionheart Chronicles
The Alchemy of The Beast


Grieving her faith, her love, and her identity, twenty-one-year-old Scarlett V. Leonelli is struck by a tragedy of epic proportion—one threatening to unravel her to her very core. Following a series of inexplicable synchronicities and her desperation for healing, Scarlett journeys deep into the jungle of a hidden village in Costa Rica. In this realm, far beyond the only reality she has ever known, she is forced to trust the path as it appears beneath her feet.
Led by the footprints of mysterious guides, romantic rendezvous, and thrilling adventures, Scarlett dives into the belly of the Beast itself. To return home, and to Life itself, she must wrestle with the meaning of existence and learn the sacred key to alchemizing one of humanity’s inevitable tragedies.
Will this law of the universe prepare this Traveler for the lifelong quest awaiting her?

Chosen
Once Upon A Time...
There was a little girl whose beauty radiated with love for everything around her. She burned with a passion to learn, to experience everything, and to embrace it to its fullest and most infinite capacity. She craved life. She was special. She was important. She was connected. She was meant for something big. And she knew it. She was Chosen... for Love.
And Then... She Grew Up.
In CHOSEN, I have woven a collection of poems I wrote during my 8-year journey back to Love with narrative to encourage and empower other young women who feel confused, angry, and abandoned by Love, and who are trying desperately to find what their soul craves.
We lose love. We lose meaning.
We spend our whole lives trying to find Love again—in relationships, in dreams, in people, in goals, in experiences. We all get glimpses of it, and some of us get lost along the way, forgetting that the relationship, the dream, the experience, is just a taste of Love...not the whole thing. Yet, as we make our way back, we discover that while we were making choices for us, so was Love.
