Welcome to the future, where humans no longer exist - or so the monsters want you to believe. Dawn, one of the last of her kind, is tasked every month with leaving the safety of her home to traverse across enemy infested territory in order to keep her family afloat. There is only one rule: never get caught by what lies beyond the forest borders. When Dawn breaks this rule, she comes face to face with the monster, Syrena, who she would give anything for the opportunity to kill - and the feeling is mutual. What Dawn doesn't expect is for that very same monster to later need her help. Reluctantly, Dawn must join forces with her sworn enemy in order to uncover a plot that could lead to the ruination of everyone she cares for. Along the way, she learns that there is more to monsters than she originally thought. With this growing connection between the two, Dawn is forced to come to terms with her feelings for Syrena and reevaluate everything she once thought about her. Allied enemies, twisted betrayals, and a shocking truth plunges Dawn into questioning everything she once believed in, and herself...

Ainsley is a dragonblood princess, powerful but constantly restrained by her duties and her oppressive father, the king of Ellay. When a pirate crew makes a shaky truce with the king and asks for a guarantee of their safe travels around his country, he offers up Ainsley as an unwilling hostage and a show of good faith on his part. Ainsley suddenly finds herself powerless and trapped on a pirate ship, but the crew is nothing like what she expects, and neither is the lady captain, Gael, who defies every expectation and leaves Ainsley curious and unsure of where her loyalties lie. She tries her best to hate Gael and the pirates, but slowly, they're winning her over, and she must face the awful truth: to follow her heart will bring about catastrophic consequences, and she will need to be prepared to fight fire with fire.

I keep telling myself this is the right thing to do, that I made the right decision, that this will help Vicki and Nick. All of my friends back home. Is it?
