Three lives. Three bloodlines. One dark inheritance. In Book One: A Halo in the Ashes, a teenage girl named Olivia arrives at an ancient boarding school in Italy-where shadows speak, silence bleeds, and something not quite human is watching. But the real horror isn't just what haunts the school... it's what's waking inside her. In Book Two: Beneath the Crimson Veil, Emily Gidez dreams of home, but sleep delivers nightmares-and a masked killer who walks among them. When the veil between the living and the damned thins, the line between victim and vessel begins to blur. In Book Three: A Throne of Quiet Ruin, Akana, daughter of a guarded noble household, meets a stranger who claims to know her soul. As plague and darkness devour the land, she must uncover the truth of her bloodline-and the beast prince drawn to it-before love becomes the knife that ends her. Tied by prophecy. Bound by silence. Each girl must face the legacy she never asked for- and the monsters that wait in the hollow things they leave behind. Enter a world of gothic dread, cursed romance, and haunting fate. This is A Symphony of Hollow Things.

Aubrey Wilson has the heart of an angel. As the type of person to always trust in others, she's admirable to peers. A total darling, but with a sadness that encases her heart. Anyone could shrink down in fright at the receiving end of Luke Taylor's infamous glare. Tall, muscular, dark-haired, and handsome, he's no stranger on or off the field. Not a kind stranger either. A total brooding asshole, but with a sadness that encases his heart. --- "You didn't have to hit him or anything," I lie my head on his broad, strong shoulder. "He shouldn't have touched you like that," he tucks a curl behind my ear. ~Strong Language~ ~Mild Violence~

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes, etc.)
