Dakota Peters is a simple girl. She is okay with surviving high school with her friends, her brother, and her pathetic crush on Caleb Fisher. She has been pining over Caleb since freshman year, but is totally okay with just admiring from afar because she knows that she's too awkward and weird to actually have a boyfriend. Dakota's life is pretty simple this way, pathetically stalking an improbable crush and that's how she's happy living her life until, of course, things get complicated. There's a new boy in town just as another one of her brother's friends confesses feelings for her just as Caleb begins to take notice to her. With all three things happening at once, it's overwhelming for Dakota because she isn't used to boys actually liking her back. She was content with stalking from afar with no real love interest, but now she has three and that's not okay with her. Not to mention her secret manhunt to find her mother, who abandoned her family when she and her brother were four. How can she get through the last half of senior year with all of this abnormal drama going on around her?

Literally the worst writing I've probably ever done. Unless you like really dorky cliche and kinda sadly over romantic writing go ahead and read. BUT I am rewriting the plot entirely, keeping most characters and will be posting the rewrite as 'Beautifully Dead' which when I begin posting it you will find it on my profile so to keep up to date please follow me :D

It was the Faeris who had started the war and gained power over all of Eltor. It was the Faeri Empire which had plunged the land into fear and slavery. The elves had fled, leaving over the seas; and the dwarves had retreated beneath the earth, too far for the Faeris to reach them. And what could the humans do, but burn? Irene hated the Faeri Empire and its ways. She hated every member of the Faeri race. After her parents were killed in a riot against Faeri Knights, she turned her back on the law and became the Empire’s sworn enemy. A brilliant warrior, and known to the people as “The Archer”, she has spent her life causing chaos amongst the Empire, never being caught – only a shadow in the night. Until now. When captured during a raid against the Empire, Irene prepares herself to face the hangman’s noose – until the Faeri King makes a different call. One that will change her life forever. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, right? But what if they’re one and the same thing?
