Four years ago, Evelyn Wright's perfect life as a debutante in London was ripped away from her, and her family moved to the countryside. Since then, she has adjusted to the simple life, but one letter is about to send her to the city and back into the life of a socialite, forced to suffer through balls, matchmaking, scheming mothers and worst of all, despicable rakes. Evelyn wants nothing to do with this life, eager to return home, until a ​fateful decision throws her into the path of one of societies most daring rakes, Nathanial Blackmore, the Duke of Winchester. He is arrogant, rich and entitled, everything she despises about men, but as the unlikely pair begin to work together to avoid the hangman's noose, she discovers that there is a lot more to him than sinful smiles and dangerous promises. Can they escape the death sentence that hangs above them? Or is Evelyn more in danger of losing her heart, than her head?

I sleep by day. I live by night. I'm from the other side, a side only few know about. The only way you'll know what I'm talking about is if you've either experienced it or know someone who has. Daylight is my enemy. No, I am not a cheesy vampire that sparkles in the sunlight or sucks the blood of strangers that you'd read about in some book. I'm purely human, breathing air; heart pumping blood. But only for so long. Claire has a special and rare disease called Erythropoietic Protoporphyria. EPP for short. She's allergic to the sunlight. She's not allowed to go outside in the sunlight or her skin will start to slowly bubble and burn unless she's wearing special full body clothing including a hat and an umbrella over her head. She doesn't understand why she has this disease or why it won't go away, but she deals with it. Staying home all day, being homeschooled and living at night, traveling the city in the protection of the darkness is a norm for her. She knows more about the big city of Manhattan than anyone else around. She knows how to defend herself against the creeps on the street at night. She knows all the faces of the few people that travel around at night. Other-siders or night-timers, she calls them. Her life is more normal than people would think, except for the fact that she can't be outside during the day. So, when she bumps into Mr. Day-timer himself, she rubs it off like it's nothing. But Mr. Day-timer has grown a large infatuation with her. She thinks he's nothing other than an annoying pain in the rump. Especially when he starts trying to get to know her. Claire is used to being alone. Now that she isn't, she's afraid. Can she love someone from the other side?

One day, Apocalypse came to pass. It started with a fog that engulfed the world. Thick and heavy in the atmosphere, nearly unbreathable to humans and able to corrupt a soul. It killed livestock, pulled buildings to the ground and deadened the soil. After a month, shields were erected over major cities to keep it out, but by then humanity could no longer see the sun. Next, they disappeared - the citizens in shieldless towns and the towns themselves - completely consumed by the fog. And in their place came monsters, beasts that craved human flesh and blood and knew nothing but destruction. In a matter of days, only half of humanity remained. . . but they didn't plan on going down without a fight. - Round Three Qualifier of the Tridents Awards (Winner of the Judge's favorites and Table Shakers subcategories)
