Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

They say the gods are dead. In New Haven, one just woke up in a girl who never asked to be chosen. Beneath the acid-slick skies of a drowned canyon city, where advan-core tech pulses through rusted ruins and the air itself could kill you, a band of teenage misfits does what no one else dares: steal from High Haven. WILLOW, rebel leader and five minutes older than her chaos - wired twin, CANYON, is only supposed to hijack a mystery shipment. Simple job. In, out, vanish. But inside the armored airvan isn't tech or credit chips - it's a god's heart. A living godpiece. And it chooses her. Now her veins burn black, her mind fractures with divine whispers, and something ancient is using her body as a conduit. The power could save New Haven - or destroy it. It's also killing her. Enter NOA - a silver-tongued smuggler with a hidden past, war scars, and too many knives. She's from High Haven, and her loyalty flickers like a glitch. She says she wants to help the Scarves. Canyon doesn't trust her. But Willow? She can't stop looking at her. As revolutions ignite and monsters stir beneath the city, New Haven teeters on the edge of collapse. The godpiece is changing everything. And something older than memory is waking up in the deep. Would you betray your blood to save the woman you love? Would you burn a city to save the world? Grab your scarf. The canyon's calling. Are you ready to answer? - This story contains mature themes, graphic violence, and strong language. Recommended for older teen readers (16+) and above -

Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger. Her defenses slip. And then one night-when he comes home drunk, eyes glassy, words slurred but honest-he breaks every version of him she thought she knew. Gone is the boy who annoyed her growing up. This Theo is raw. Complex. Broken in places she never noticed before. And now she wants things she's never dared to want. His kisses. His hands. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck becomes a dangerous line they can't stop crossing. And the more she sees him, truly sees him, the more she wonders- What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?
