Innocence is subjective, and power always has its price--so his elders told him. Silas Blane is destined for greatness. Born into an elite family with many skeletons in the closet, he learns to harness his inherent shamanic powers and finds purpose in the Old Ways of his ancestors. As he turns fifteen, Silas walks a treacherous edge between love and expectation and discovers the fragility of desire. Nothing is what it seems in a universe where power is fleeting, and enemies close their grasp around the last hope of the free worlds. Vintage science fiction, retro-futurism, and space opera blend in this decopunk drama. Here we have chromed fusion rockets, spooky secret societies, shamanic bone oracles, robots for every occasion, and a perilous, affluent world which hails to "Downton Abbey" and "Dynasty".

"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites.

However, despite being raised in a posh home life, Florence, or Flo, as she would like everyone to call her, is a delinquent. She breaks rules, she pulls pranks and she makes insensitive jokes at the most inappropriate times. And to add the cherry on top, she's been expelled twice within the same year for skipping classes, failing all of her tests and causing excessive damage to school property. Her relatives think she's a disgrace, girls think she's a bitch and boys think she's just some badass biker chick. Flo wasn't always like this though. Now the question is, why? Why act this way when you have everything and anything anyone could ever wish for? Leo Archer found himself wondering this exact thought after having an encounter with the biker chick herself. He should be offended by the rude comments she's made but behind that anger, lies pure intrigue for her story. - *ATTENTION: I know how hard it is to get reads on newly published books but PLEASE do not advertise or promote your stories on mine or any other books.
