Sixteen-year-old Mara Westray has just lost her mother, and now, being shipped off to live with the father she doesn’t know is not how she imagined grieving. She’s already counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can leave the tiny island of Swans Landing. But from the moment she steps off the ferry, nothing is as ordinary as it looks. Whispers of a haunting song on the wind make her see impossible things, and she isn’t sure she can trust her judgment about what is real and what isn’t anymore. Maybe she can’t even trust her judgment about quiet Josh Canavan, whose way of speaking in riddles and half-truths only confuses her more, luring her deeper into the secrets hidden beneath the ocean’s surface. As she tries to unravel the events that led to her mom fleeing the island sixteen years ago, Mara finds that the biggest secret of all is only the beginning.

❝The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?❞ Life can change in just a single moment. Diana Riddle felt it, as did the rest of the world. This was the beginning of the end. No longer was she a child; she was a warrior, a leader. She was the savior. In the midst of a war, now without her beloved mentor, she travels this road alone. To destroy Tom Riddle--it was what she was born for. Before she goes, though, she vows to die with memories, not dreams. To live before she dies. She has people to fight for now. Friends and family. She has something to live for, even if it's only for a short time. So she was going to fight. She was going to destroy what destroyed her, in the end. This is the end. The end of a war. The end of Diana Riddle. [ SEQUEL TO 'RUINS' - completed ] [ deathly hallows ] [ harry potter ] [ written by heidi // 2016 ]
