She was the sun. Her golden tresses like a gleam of yellow light and her face a golden glow. And he, the dark side of the moon. His hair as black as midnight and his eyes grey with sorrow. Yet, they fit together- like two jagged pieces of a puzzle. And they couldn't stay away, devouring each others presence like hungry predators; relishing in the pleasure of the others company. But the ending was inevitable and unstoppable. For, the darkness would always destroy the light as would the light destroy the darkness. ********* When Emily and her cheery parents move to the city of New York, the word hectic is an understatement. In the mix of being the new girl; making new friends and breaking it off with a rather clingy ex, it all seems to be a little too much for Emily. It doesn't help that the principal has assigned her on Noah duty- the one and only violent badass of Red Grove High. Her mission? To break the BadBoy before the BadBoy breaks her. Simple, right?

❝poisonous fangs can only reap poisonous fruit.❞ Nerluce - named for light - dwells in darkness. It was forged from the shadows of the great beasts, who flash their cruel fangs and crueler insults, who seek to choke the light from his chest with their iron chains, who despise all who are not like them. Disdain for gods and men is made in dim places. Hunger for ruin is cultivated on a starving stomach. Power for destruction is rarely given but when it is, oh, the world will burn. CONTENT WARNINGS (16+) Profanity, violence and gore, alcohol usage, neglect and verbal abuse, self-destructive actions and suicidal ideation, minor character death, and morally-questionable people doing morally-questionable things.
