"What was it like to witness the creation of the universe?" "Terrifying." When Atara, Merc, Cal and Lilith wake to darkness, they're each more than a little afraid. With no memory of who they were before, and with the universe bursting violently to life around them, they must work together to survive and to get home - wherever that may be. Because the longer they stay in this dark new world, the harder it is to do so. © 2015 by shayebay This novel is entirely a work of fiction.

And when the day returns to ashes and dark you'll find me stealing ephemeral infinities, like a thousand songs never again to be sung under fallen stars and mechanical cities. A collection of the poems I wrote in 2015 [ © 2015 by shaye ]

Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.

When Crown Princess Letizia of Spain married the Crown Prince of England, she gave up her right to the throne to her sister. However, her sister has not married, nor born any children. Therefore, Letizia's children are heir to both the English and Spanish thrones. The princesses Lily-Rose and Clover have grown up happily, shielded from the public by their protective mother. But as they get older, the countries demand more from them, especially as they are soon to come of age. Their older brother, Prince Alexander is to take the English throne, while Lily-Rose, the eldest twin, is to become queen of Spain when she turns 18. This leaves Clover as the only one not destined to rule a country, destined to forever remain just a princess. They all must watch as their lives are planned out for them, their future held in the hands of their parents and governments. At the moment, they are just children, but what about when they start to understand what and who they are?

One day, Morgana decides to pick up a pen and write a series of letters addressed to those she loves and hates. In these letters, she reveals her deepest fears and darkest secrets, in these letters she tells of the only boy she's ever loved and in these letters she realises that nothing is ever as it seems, and after these letters, nothing will ever be the same again. (used to be named Thirty Letters) (Inspired by the 30 Day Letter Challenge)
