Everin Blackwell The first girl born into the Blackwell dynasty in over ten generations. The Blackwells are one of the oldest, richest, and most feared families in the world ruling the highest tiers of society alongside the Drache, Vanguard, Cambridge, Hastings, and Calloway families. Together, they are the unseen hand behind power, privilege, and secrets that span continents. For the past five years, Everin has lived in seclusion, tucked away at a prestigious boarding school in England. No contact with her family, just an annual visit from the father who raised her like a stranger. Her mother's death has blown out the candle of this once united family. What happens when shes the only witness. When she knows what really happened that day. When shes blamed for her silence on the matter and yet shes been growing a seed of revenge for years. But now, Everin is returning home. And she is no longer the same girl who left. She carries secrets-dangerous ones. And something else is changing inside her. Her five older brothers, distant and cold, claim to feel nothing for the sister they barely know. But when the truth begins to surface-that Everin is dying and only has a small chance of surviving-everything begins to unravel. Will they discover the truth before it's too late? Or will their silence, resentment, and guilt destroy her first? Everin, however, has her own mission. She's willing to risk everything to uncover the truth-even if it means attending a hidden academy designed to awaken the powerful gifts buried in her bloodline. But unlocking her power comes with a cost. As deadly secrets rise and new alliances form, can Everin survive the legacy she was born into? And will the other heirs see her as one of their own-or as the threat she's destined to become? ... Book cover credit (Pinterest) (Sahrosh Editx) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

If there's anything Evie Barrett has learned in her sixteen years of living, it's that there's a lot more to family than blood. She's stuck by that fact since the day her mother turned her back on her so many years ago, suddenly sharing nothing more than the same green eyes and a last name. While Evie didn't have her biological relatives, she filled the gap her mother left with people that she'd die for in a heartbeat. It was far from conventional but perfect to her ⎯ she wouldn't have had it any other way. That is, until she gets told that her mother is dead, and that she's going to be sent to live with her seven long lost brothers. Evie's definition of family is about to be turned upside down. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ highest rankings: #1 in recovering, 12/3/22 #1 in innerdemons, 3/17/25 #3 in brokenfamily, 3/4/22 #5 in hurt, 10/4/23 #5 in rebel, 4/7/24 #11 in foundfamily, 9/9/24 #14 in trauma, 10/23/23 #31 in mental health, 3/4/23 tysm for all the support, hope you enjoy! - elle.
