This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.

Safety is an instinct of the human mind. Revolution is an instinct of the human soul. Artius: Full of the latest technology, the trendiest fashions, the sexiest people, and the best security force there is. It's a sparkling metropolis that could very easily be compared to paradise. But little do the people of Artius know or care that their beloved city is merely a façade. Concealed by all of the intricacies and delicacies of city life is a warped system where anyone not rich enough to keep up with the times is sent to the Outcity: a place full of scum and hard labor. The only thing the city folk do know about the outcity people is that they're dirty, poor, and not worth the resources they use. So when the Agents spring their campaign promising to degrade the outcity dwellers even further while boosting the city people higher and higher, they are an instant hit. The reason? Cedrik Shields, the most charismatic speaker in Artius. But in the shadows works a different force. It's the stirrings of a rebellion, so faint that you might think you imagined it. But it's there. They work in secret, forming connections and alliances with all the people who feel that the Agents are one thing: trouble. Bain O'Neal lives in the city, but he knows that the Agents are bad news, so he coordinates with the outcity force in the hopes that they'll be able to mass together a Rebellion. But on one of his runs, he's caught by the Agents. To fight for justice in a world that wants nothing more than to bury you in a deep hole and never look your way again is a hard thing. But those who revolt must always remember one thing: "All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come."- Victor Hugo NOTE: KEEP NOTE OF THE CHAPTER TITLES TO SEE WHO IS NARRATING THE CHAPTER.

"It's unlike any paranormal book I've read--very smart, very fresh, and very addictive, and very still in my mind." –And Anything Bookish In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family’s sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back. On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she’s sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family. Sadie is thrown toward an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR? The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind. Fall into the pages of Sadie’s life, a world so frighteningly similar to your own, you’ll find yourself wanting to go to the Montana mountains to find the Survivors for yourself. And it is only the beginning. "The way Ms. Havard has taken the history of the Salem witches and made it her own is truly fascinating... great debut from a talented writer." –DJ DeSmyter, author of Hunted “[THE SURVIVORS is a…] promising debut and an incredibly unique paranormal romance. Unputdownable, engaging, realistic and dark..." –Fragments of Life Review Blog Can't wait to read the whole story? THE SURVIVORS is available for purchase now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kindle, the Apple iBookstore, and
