The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

When a night of fun leads to being thrust into a reality deemed mythical, Kaitlyn has no choice but to buckle up and enjoy the ride, especially when a man claims to be the father of the child she's carrying. *** Imagine waking up abandoned in a hotel bedroom, the smell of sex loitering the air and bare as the day you were born. No remembrance of the previous night while sporting two small mysterious holes on the side of your neck, a lingering ache distinguishing between your legs. That's how things transpired for Kaitlyn one morning; soreness and exhaustion littering her bones as evidence of her previous affairs. Time flies in the shape of a few weeks and Kaitlyn starts to feel odd. Constant vomiting, sleeping more than usual, sore feet, a drop in appetite - you name it. The first thought that arises is she may have caught a stomach flu. What she couldn't fathom was another being taking place within her womb, developing with each worrying second. This definitely wasn't a planned pregnancy. She's faced with many things exceeding the knowledge of the made-up folklore that mankind has developed over time. Thrown into a world where fictitious creatures reside, how does Kaitlyn cope with the thought of her pregnancy and the fact the man she's tangled in the sheets with is much more than a reckless fling? Misfortune and corresponding events follow Kaitlyn as she's confronted with things that will drive her to question her existence as she's swept into a world that reveals so many mysteries. ° ° ° C O V E R- @Pennywithaney T R A I L E R- @loyallyric ° ° ° ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ® © 2016-2017 by J.L Weaver ° ° ° Highest Rankings || #1 in Vampire (5/2/18) #8 in Fantasy (8/31/18)
