This novel explores youthful innocence and consequence, self discovery, generational trauma and the loose concepts of a Snow White retelling with a metropolitan 1990s setting. Lily is bold, impulsive, and naive. Someone, she isn't sure who, named her Lilith. And something else, something dark and cruel, cursed her with the strange ability to know, hear, and see what others think. She lives in fear of it and punishes herself for her inability to be normal. Selin, on the other hand, is a quiet girl dealing with her mother's recent passing and the strange nature of her soon-to-be stepmother, whom she heard talking to her mirror late one night. Two troubled girls meet in Detroit's 1990s and learn about themselves and their families' intertwining pasts, while uncovering a murder scheme and their developing feelings for each other. Or, when everything else is quiet, who will survive? [This work was previously titled "until nothings left of us"]

How far are you willing to go for a taste of power? Through the eyes of an outsider, Phoenicia might seem like a peaceful, prosperous kingdom. But take a closer look, and you will see the burgundy blood that stains the hands of those standing up high. Their souls are marked with treachery, and the scars of betrayal mar their skin. But for power, it is a small price to pay. And in the heart of it all is Lady Anne Winterbourne, a little girl who dreams of becoming queen. She has it all-- wealth, influence, and a family that could support her, all except for one crucial element-- royal blood. Edmund, the Duke of Cindertrappe grew up alone in the bitter north, his throne stolen from him. Royal blood runs through his veins, but as long as his uncle lives, he would remain as nothing but a mere duke. When Anne becomes entangled with Edmund after a chance encounter in the palace gardens, a dangerous romance is born, one that would change the world forever. start: 19 march 2021 end : 9 may 2021 🥇- 1st Place in The Seasonal Awards 2021, Dark Academia Awards, in Historical Fiction, 1st Place in The Fly Awards in Romance, 1st Place in The Meteorite Awards in Action and Adventure 🥈- Second Place in The Phoenix Awards in Historical Fiction 🥉 - Third Place in The Read4Read Awards 2021, The Savant Girls Awards
