This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.

"is this what you've came to" I say making him jump a little. He turns around enough to see the sorrow in his once bright green eyes now as dull as a slow carnival ride Noah stands up, dropping the bottle of what looks to be vodka and stumbles over to me. His eyes look like they haven't closed properly for days as dark circle just under his eyes "nic-" before he can finish I slap him That's right You heard me I slapped him His head whips to the side as hand immediately clutches his cheek "I deserved that" he sighs, rubbing his cheek

KSIĄŻKA OD 17 MAJA DOSTĘPNA W WERSJI PAPIEROWEJ W CAŁEJ POLSCE. W świecie wielkich pieniędzy i pokus prawdziwa miłość to bezcenny skarb. W dniu osiemnastych urodzin Jasmine Stokes otrzymuje od rodziców list, który wywraca do góry nogami jej spokojne i poukładane życie. Dowiaduje się z niego, że jako niemowlę została przez nich adoptowana, a jej jedynym żyjącym krewnym jest tajemniczy miliarder Bernard Richwood. Początkowo niechętna, za namową bliskich Jasmine decyduje się na podróż do Kalifornii. Na miejscu poznaje stryja i wprowadza się do jego luksusowej, pilnie strzeżonej rezydencji. W miarę upływu czasu Jasmine nabiera coraz więcej pewności, że Richwood nie mówi jej wszystkiego. Dlaczego przez osiemnaście lat zatajał przed nią prawdę na temat jej pochodzenia? Jakie tajemnice skrywa utworzona przez niego organizacja Silver Seven, do której należą najbogatsi ludzie świata? I kogo tak bardzo się boi, że nie rozstaje się z ochroną nawet we własnej rezydencji? Gdy Jasmine decyduje się na powrót do domu, stryj składa jej propozycję: uczyni ją jedyną spadkobierczynią ogromnej fortuny, jeśli zostanie w Richwood Residency i w ciągu roku wyjdzie za mąż za jednego z wybranych przez niego kandydatów. Jasmine na prośbę stryja zgadza się przedłużyć pobyt, jednak stanowczo odrzuca jego ofertę. Mimo to Richwood przedstawia jej wkrótce młodych, ambitnych i przystojnych pretendentów do jej ręki. I tak się składa, że wszyscy są synami członków Silver Seven. „Myślałem, że mam wszystko. Dopiero gdy cię poznałem, dotarło do mnie, że nie miałem nic."
