The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

I guess you could say that this story is like every other One Direction fan fiction or any fan fiction for that matter, but it isn’t – well, lots of stories say that, but I mean it with this one. Anna is a Australian teenager, with her faults and flaws, but like every other person out there, she has her qualities and loves living life large – as a hyperactive and crazy young woman who loves pranking, laughing and having fun by herself. Until five males pop out of nowhere and comes a part of her life. With the lads from One Direction coming into play, there’s no doubt about influences one can have on another if they look like they’re having fun. Pranks, friendship, fights, You Tubers, bands, famous people and craziness will come from their little encounter. But one thing is in question at the moment, will there be love? Pfft, good luck with that one, first there’s a roller coaster of Anna’s crazy life and the ‘situations’ everyone seems to be getting into now that Anna’s here. So, sit back, relax, and try your hardest not to laugh out loud and look like a crazy person.
