He has teenage hearts around the world in a chokehold with his charms and talents, blind to the fact that he is slowly spiraling.

When Theo's manager decides it would be amazing publicity to rekindle their friendship for a few photos, the two reluctantly reunite.

"You're scared of me," he accused. Maybe it was the sleep deprivation kicking in, but I shook my head. "No, I'm scared your blood will stain my couch." He blinked a few times and then a shadow of a smile broke out on his face. "I'll buy you a new one." ...

Anyone with ties to the underworld knew that, which was why Wesley did what he could to stay out of the mafia prince's path.

[BOOK 2|READ ATELO FIRST] Dewey Price has always avoided people in general, cursed with an abnormality that makes being around others far from enjoyable. His life was relatively boring, days essentially full of the same thing. Famous mother aside, he's always been a relatively average person. That is, until the king of the Westhem comes knocking at his door, accompanied by someone that raises more than a few questions upon their first meeting. Now tasked with locating someone that there is hardly any information on, Dew's semi average life gets thrown into a mix of wars, mythical creatures, and government secrets. His already loose grip on his sanity threatens to disappear altogether. The fact the Captain Rowan Lux has a nasty habit of consistently taking up all of Dew's attention doesn't help, either.

[BOOK 1] After a war over a century ago, there have been several laws set in place to restrain the rights of individuals with special abilities-most commonly referred to as abnormals. The Nocona family came to power during the worldwide conflict, resulting in Marley Nocona becoming the eventual heir to a throne that will rule an entire half of the planet. However, after an incident that reveals him to be a member of the abnormal race, he is sent to 1-A IAP, where he is to be studied until a cure is found. This is the plan, until of course he meets a man named Nero Accardi. Said man happens to hate his entire family with a burning passion-not exactly uncommon amongst the residents in the institution. Marley, now forced to deal with a moody roommate and an extremely inconvenient abnormality, feels as though the world is just generally out to get him. His life is only complicated further when it becomes apparent that not only is Nero his only way out of the place, but he also has a tendency to make Marley question everything he's ever known. Marley is positive of one thing, though, and that is the fact that he needs to do anything possible to ensure his kingship- It's the only way to finally correct the world that his predecessors have wronged so cruelly. [] [] [] [General Warnings: um I guess age gap? Marley is 17 then 18 and Nero is 20 so if you have an issue with that then I don't recommend reading. Also blood/gore and it gets kinda graphic because this dude happens to get injured. A lot.] [Mature Warning: sexual content, swearing, & past physical (and verbal) abuse. The abuse is not explicitly graphic or anything, but it still has an impact on the story.] ❦ AN: I promise you this book is not as dark as the warnings are ok. give me a chance or don't I'm not your dad
