Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore.

Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable.

It's the very same world that she created. Though, unfortunately for Detta, the novel is no breezy summer romance. There, a ruthless tyrant is raiding the lands in search of his fated bond. With the author's unexpected appearance, he believes that it is her. His revelation derails the novel's plot, and it's up to Detta to make sure that it gets back on the right track. This tyrant has no idea that he is meant to die. Or so the story goes.
