"His eyes told a story I was yet to understand but... one I felt destined to discover." Living a solitary life is one of the many things Grace Mayfeild has become accustomed to while living on a farm in a small, southern town. She's quiet, reserved, and often more absorbed in her own thoughts than the world around her. Yet, her mind isn't only a place to escape to but also where bleak, looming thoughts seem to draw her into dark places. So, as it seems, Grace lives in a very still world where exhilaration is rare and hopeful thoughts are unreachable. Yet... alike a rubber band held quivering between two outstretched fingers, Grace's still world is on the brink of an alarming snap. When she's faced with a single choice to test her un-awakened bravery, everything will change. Moreover, each choice she makes will begin to draw her into an unknown and frankly, unbelievable world of power, enchantment, and... love. Grace Mayfeild is about to realize that nothing is as it seems and defining moments in your life come without warning - but certainly reason.

College is supposed to be different from high school, yet here I am living almost exactly how I was back then. I still don't party. I still don't date. I still ace my classes. And my best friend is still the most popular guy in school who encourages me to try new things on the regular. He takes me to parties, as a friend. He teaches me how to flirt with boys, as a friend. He holds me when we sleep, as a friend. He offers to teach me how to kiss, as a friend. And I think I'm starting to fall in love with him, not as a friend. DISCLAIMER: Hey guys I know most of my books are PG-13 to the T but this book is not. There is swearing. There is sexual behavior. There is talk of drugs and alcohol. I don't condone/encourage any of these behaviors. I'm just writing about college and a lot of these things do take place in college, so for the sake of being realistic, I included them. But just because these are discussed in the book does not mean you have to do them. Please read with that mindset and don't believe that these things are necessary in order to have a good time or to be perceived as cool.

∞ A Wattpad Featured Story on 17 January 2018 ∞ "There are two sides of the same coin." In a dystopian society where people are discriminated by their social status, Adrastea Bones is merely a healer with a knack for inventing antidotes for fatal poisons. When the leader of the rebellion, Rhydderch Thomas, finds out about Adrastea's skill, he persuades her to his cause, despite her originally wanting to stay out of the fray. It doesn't help that Rhydderch is her soulmate due to the words on their skin. Never had she entertained the thought of finding hers, let alone the fact that he didn't seem to mind her being his that much. Journey with Adrastea as she comes to see that it always isn't good and bad and that as ruthless and manipulative Rhydderch can be, perhaps, there was more to him than she originally thought. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Just be careful of Rhydderch," he warned. Adrastea looked up at that. "Why?" she paused warily, "Is there a reason why I should be wary of my own soulmate?" He shook his head, "No, but Rhydderch is the type of person who had gone to hell and when he came back, he brought back a piece of it with him." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * soulmate trope from Tumblr | dark | inspired by the tomione ship
