COMPLETE STORY Isolated because of what she is--because of the power she holds inside--Astrid longs for contact with another human being. Her well-intentioned mother locks her away from society in order to protect her from an evil that seeks to use Astrid's abilities for his own means.

My name is Darius Arthur Heisenberg, but most people call me Dare. If my last name sounds familiar, it’s probably because of my great-great uncle Werner Heisenberg. He was a physicist who came up with something called the Uncertainty Principle. But listen, Uncle Werner had no idea how uncertain things really are. I work for a group, called the Keepers, that label themselves the custodians of time. And, believe me, time is a mess. It needs all the custodians it can get. Which is, of course, why the Keepers selected me, a nineteen-year-old high school dropout, to join them. I recently worked as a janitor for a couple months. Perfect fit, right? Okay, it didn’t make much sense to me either, but I wasn’t in a position to turn down a steady job and a roof over my head. Besides, all I’m supposed to do is travel through time and save the universe as we know it, how hard could it be? Yeah, better hold on. This could get ugly.

Pamela McCloud can make everything she wants come true. It’s like having a genie, minus the three-wishes-only rule, of course. All she has to do is say what she wants at night and when she wakes up the next morning, she’ll get it. As a teenager, she takes advantage of that ability and starts asking for all the superficial things she could think of. Popularity, friendship, love, pain, and a jumble of wishes make her a different person (and definitely not a better person). One specific event shows how much she’s changed and her wishes stop coming true. Wishing for her life to go back to the way it was at the beginning of the school year will not help this time. She needs to make it happen on her own.

Dark, riveting, passionate, love, betrayal, revenge, evil Warning!!!! This is a first draft. If you want the new edited version please check out "Royal Pain (Rewritten)" I will be continuing the story in that book from now on. Three identical vampire princes are searching for a human girl to one day rule their kingdom. Little did they know that Deva was not like the rest of the girls. She does everything to sabotage her chances but it isn't enough to shield her heart. Eventually the twisting and pulling force her guard down and she falls; she falls so deeply it hurts. Her vulnerability will lead her down a dark winding path she was never ready for. Vampires, a kingdom, a crown, love were just the tip of her iceberg. I promise this is a book that will not disappoint.
