The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past.

{This story has been discontinued} I rolled my eyes. The cliché, "snow flakes are like people, no two are exactly alike" was one of the dumbest sayings. First of all, there are twins, triplets, quadruplets, and even octuplets. Secondly, people eat snow. I guess statistically, somewhere out there at least one cannibal exists, but it isn't exactly expectable to eat people in most modern societies. I understand that the saying reflects on people's personalities and whatnot, but the entire idea is down right stupid. Long story short I hated snow. Natalie loves just about anything, but especially snow. Alice has a haunting past and a mysterious hatred for snow. When the two meet in detention, neither of them had any idea of the love, heartbreak, and drama that they will encounter together.
