The land is dark. The sky is grey. The people are crying. Can you hear them? Amorika was born into a land of death and sorrow. She has known no warmth from the sun, no relief from the wind, no calmness from a river's song. Such things do not exist in her world. In the fortress she lives in, there is no freedom for her. She has always accepted this, knowing that trying to leave would lead to a punishment worse than maybe death itself. But her seclusion has not kept her innocent of the horrors of the world forbidden to her. The sorrows of the land have always come to her doorstep in the form of either the dead or helpless. Her father, the Dark King, makes sure that everyone within his rule knows what he is capable of; what he has been capable of for nearly a century. He lives in an immortal state, wrought from a war long since past, and the conquering of an enemy now considered myth. But the King knows his enemy still stirs. He has forbidden Amorika from leaving his palace-fortress for he knows that she is the only one of his many children that has any chance of connecting with this old force, and thus give him a way to destroy it completely and live eternally. At the age of twenty, Amorika begins to discover that her father's treatment towards her is more than it appears.. Following a path of clues left by a now deceased scholar, Amorika discovers that there is more history to the Great War of old than she ever thought. Within only a matter of days she finds herself running away from the one place she has known best, guided only by the words of a dead man and a mysterious force she had once considered to be myth. She runs to find the place where the Stag is still strong, knowing that she may be the only one capable of awaking the one person strong enough to rid the world of evil and it's crimson stain.

"Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange." Amy Green is a small town girl, starting her freshman year all alone in a big prestigious high school. Then suddenly, when the humble town of Hazelbrookes has a population surge with hundreds of rich, beautiful people moving into her life, all that changes. Something is off about the new kids in town, and it's not just their inhuman attractiveness. At first, it's subtle little things that cue Amy in, like how they never eat anything, or how they all have overwhelming amounts of charisma that tend to allure even the strongest willed people to them. Nothing too big. But after the boy Amy crushes on (or rather, feels the biggest pull to) bites her in the nurse's office at school, she realizes that everything is way bigger than she had originally expected.

In 37,982 days, Bolt, as they called him, had learned a few things. Most importantly however, was that he was never going to be free. He wasn't sure how it was possible, but he produced electricity. It was constantly flowing from his body. They called him a clean energy source. He'd been...created. So he sat in the cell and he stared at the people and he listening to their conversations. Years passed, and his hopes of getting old and dying were dashed. He never got older. He was trapped. He was going to spend the rest of forever in this place. Providing energy for all these people that didn't even know where it was coming from. From what he heard, the city was the largest and richest one in the land. All because of him.
