"It's in the darkest nights that we see the brightest stars." "What does that even mean?" I shrug, turning away from his cold gaze, and looking out towards the night sky. "I don't know, I think we spend so much time looking for answers when perhaps the beauty lies in the questions themselves." __________________ Sirius Maebelle is forced to go to Axel Academy, a brutal military school where survival is the only rule. There she meets Isaac: cocky, ruthless, and untouchable. The second they meet, their hatred ignites. Maybe Its becuase Siri wore whatever she wanted. No matter how hard it was to find colored clothing In this gray little world, or how weird it was to wear something other than colorless sad things. Maybe that's why he hated her so much. Because she was different. Maybe he hated her so much because she hated him. Or maybe, he hated her so much because on her first day, she shot a penny in his eye. It's probably the last one. No matter the reason, they are opposites- Color and colorless. Light and dark. Born to clash. But in a place of deadly training, never ending war, and buried secrets- a corrupt king, mysterious deaths, and a truth that could shatter their world- Isaac and Siri are forced to work together. When the line between love and hate begins to blur, Sirius and Isaacs mutual hatred begins to shift into something far more dangerous than the raging wars. And you know what they say, To hate someone with your whole heart is to give them the power to steal it. (book #1 In the 'Bound by Blades' series.)

"You're exhausting." Prince Greyson says, his eyes locked on mine. "And yet I can't stop thinking about you." --♡ --♡--♡-- Taryen Meabelle hasn't dreamed in years. She was raised on responsibility and learned early how to lead with her head and protect with her heart. So when she's chosen for the prestigious Royal Hindenburg Academy-a school for the elite, the powerful, the future rulers of the world-she sees it as more than an opportunity. It's her chance to protect her country from the inside out. But then she meets the heir to the throne, Prince Greyson. Mean. Arrogant. Irresponsible. He's cruel to his friends and his classmates, and they still follow everything he does. The crown prince is everything she despises-he mocks the poor, dodges responsibility, and seems more interested in breaking rules than leading a kingdom. Worse? He's next in line. So Taryen makes a choice: if he's going to rule her country, she'll make sure he's worthy of it Greyson, on the other hand, has no intention of being trained by some bossy, "perfect" girl who thinks she knows better than everyone. He's already got the influence, the money, the title. He doesn't need her approval. Or her lectures. They clash. They bicker. He thinks she's self-righteous. She thinks he's a reckless waste of a prince. But when they discover that the entire future was already corrupted before Greyson even gained his throne, they'll have to work together to save the kingdom neither of them is willing to lose. Two enemies. One kingdom. And a hate neither of them seems to be able to ignore.
