Amelia is only 18 years old when her life turns upside down. Her morning was like any other. Chaotic, dreadful, and meaningless. Amelia is boring, quiet, and what others call an outcast. She stays away from everyone, has no friends its all perfect for her in her own boring and quiet life. Amelia was sent to school like any other day. She dropped her little brother off at the grade school, walked in the rain that happened every week. Barely a bite of food in her stomach. She made it to school late. normal, is what it was. She was sitting in class when suddenly a creature, nothing like she's seen, ran down the street. Her only thought in this moment? Was it just a dream? But Alex was her second thought. Her only hope of family she truly loved and cared for was so far away. Amelia makes an effort to get away immediately when chaos arrives. She made her way to Alex as quickly as she could; she had him safely. Thankful, grateful that he didn't have a single scratch on him. Life was finally settling, but pain disrupted it. Being thrown across a parking lot was her last thought of anything. A slash through her arm that made her mind go out and her every waking instinct to survive flee. Hopeless, only to keep her eyes on Alex when a creature just like she seen before was staring her in the eyes. But as quickly as it came. It was torn into nothing by a man. A man who looked so similar to them and yet so different. Amelia had many questions, many questions about how this was happening. What are these creatures? The man urged her toward a near haven. Was it safe? would this man rob her? Hurt Alex? She only had one last shot at surviving. So she took the chance. See what happens next...!

She has no magic in a world that worships it. He has power and chooses restraint. And somehow, they always meet when something is about to go wrong. Detailed Description: In a realm where magic defines worth, Valerie Elower has none - no power, no protection, and no place in a world ruled by those who command the elements. When she breaks rules she was never meant to survive, Valerie is pulled into a web of secrets, betrayals, and choices that demand more than magic ever could. He is powerful. Controlled. A man bound by loyalty, restraint, and a darkness he refuses to unleash. Not her savior; but the shadow that could swallow her whole. As loyalties fracture and danger starts wearing familiar faces, Valerie is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: that she was never powerless - only unfinished. She was never meant to matter. But she may be the one thing this world cannot afford to lose.

He placed a file of marriage papers on the counter, sliding a pen across to her. His dark, sharp eyes locked on her every move. "Tarsou ge tum , tumhe uska deedar bhi naseeb na hoga.... Khwaaisch he meri ke tumhara pyaar kabhi poura na hoga"........ {"You will long for him, yet you will never get to see him... My wish is that your love is never fulfilled."} Aayesha said with a deep hatred filled in her eyes. "Mohabbat , dua aur baddua sirf kitabi bate he..... Haqeeqat mai iska koi wajoud nahi...... Zaya hojayegi tumhari Mohabbat ki talash........ Jab badlegi meri caahat, junnon me sirf tumhe pane ki"....... {"Love, prayers, and curses exist only in books... In reality, they have no meaning... Your search for love will go in vain... For when my desire changes, my obsession will be only to have you."} "Sign it. Now. The sooner you do, the sooner this becomes official." "This is not a pure love story. It's a cursed tale, where a haunted past shattered them, destiny entwined their paths, and fate gave them a chance-however fleeting."

Halloween is truly a festive time of year. Spooky stories, haunted houses and vampires that you can't help but thirst over because you're weird like that. That's why Hale Woodsen's inviting you to the Traitre Museum. You know, that weirdly atmospheric place near 86th, the one with the dome ceiling? Yeah. There'll be music. Shadows. Smoke machines. Candlelight that definitely isn't safe. Maybe even a Ouija board or two. Costumes are absolutely mandatory - don't come dressed like a civilian unless you want to be sacrificed mid-party for the aesthetic. For everyone has suffered a tragedy recently, the disappearance of Luca Almirez. For those who don't know (you're living under a rock), the basketballer disappeared a month or two ago, after the biggest game of his life. Nothing's been found about him, and to be honest? We're not sure if there ever will be. He was a best friend, a gifted sportsman, and overall a beloved member of society. Perhaps this is Hale's way of battling the grief. Since, you know, he was Luca's best friend. He's trying just as hard as everyone else to get to the bottom of this. His list of suspects is never ending, from Cady Lovaine to Ruel Cruz, to even Reverie Vale and Leslie Wilde. But they have hunches too, and so the story continues, dangerous and twisted. But that's not everything. If you want to get all the details, let's leave the Halloween party. Let's go to the 16th of August, where everything began.

It's spring 1997, nineteen-year-old Cairo Beauvais is a master of the hustle. Between off-Broadway auditions and slaying creatures that go bump in the Bayou, Cairo's never missed a rent check. But when a job in Baton Rouge turns into a bloodbath, Cairo is tasked to go to Lafayette as a glorified babysitter for a restless sixteen-year-old socialite. At the same time, Roman Delacroix, a nineteen-year-old reanimated corpse, is trying desperately not to exist. Resurrected under circumstances he doesn't fully understand, Roman keeps a low profile by renting a room in a boarding house. He applies for a night watchman job at the Port of New Orleans and attempts to be normal, but all that collapses the night he hears screams coming from the Devereux estate. Against his better judgment, Roman intervenes - drawing Cairo into his orbit and entangling them both in the Devereux family's secrets. Don't get them wrong; the last thing they want is to help people fix their mistakes. But as the house begins to reveal what it was built to contain, exposing the truth may be the only way either of them walks away with their body - and dignity - intact.
