She was breaking, he was broken. She was misinterpreted, he was recognised. She was a nobody, he was everybody. But then there was Him. The boy with eyes that told a story nobody was willing to listen to. The boy who belonged to the shadows. The boy she would grow to love. If only she knew within the year he would be choking on snowflakes, his blood spilled on her own empty hands. If only she knew his death would belong to her. Brookefield. A town of mystery, misfortune and conspiracy welcomes a suspicious sight - the arrival of two new boys both with a story to tell but both refusing to spill their secrets. Seventeen year old Renee has no patience for the soft spoken browned haired boy and the arrogant, blonde haired boy but it seems, she has no choice. When children begin to mysteriously disappear within the cover of darkness, Renee teams up with her best friend Aleena to uncover the unravelling mystery, while discovering the facade the boys put up to protect a secret that they vowed to left unspoken. However, Renee soon discovers that potentially what was left hidden was better untouched, than uncovered. ... "Mercy is as lacking as love. It is only a weakness that leaves a warrior open with no armour."

Just days ago, Maximilien de Robespierre was the most feared man in all of France. A mere word could result in a man being sent to his death. Now, the once-great orator sits silent and alone in a dark cell, his jaw shattered from a failed suicide attempt and his once-impeccable clothes a grisly blood-stained mess. Clinging to life and awaiting Madame Guillotine's blade in the cell that once housed his enemy, Marie Antoinette, he watches his country at war with itself and wonders if everything he did 'for the good of France,' was worth it. ----------------------- Cover art created by yours truly! This book contains the original and rewritten version of the story. WARNING: Swearing, mention of attempted suicide, mild descriptions of gore, flashbacks, and some scenes containing violence and possibly graphic detail.
