impossible heists, lawless youths, and centuries-old paintings that hold immeasurable power. ✧ cover art by Louise Delfin

If I were not to count myself; the boy who had played the most important role in the course of events, as they happened, was in fact Holden Winston. And he was also the one most affected by everything. All the things, no matter how insignificant placed invisible scars on his face. (Sadly, he was no Dorian Gray and there was no such thing as a magical painting.)

In midst of their boring, routine infected lives, six intellects at the prestigious Hones University try to grasp the fundamentals of a concept long lusted over by mankind: immortality. But when they end up going astray, they fall into a hole far from the beauty of Wonderland; spiraling into a whirlwind of secrets, crime and treason.

A Wattpad Editors Choice. Tearing away all the papers of a bulletin board brings Edward Ruiz face to face with Adam Yuan, a young man who disappeared six years ago when he was only fourteen. Directly after, Edward is overtaken by a voice inside his head - a voice claiming to be that of Adam himself. Dragged into a nightmare he thinks he has nothing to do with, Edward's world is overcome by grisly hallucinations and shady dealings with the FBI who are questioning the medical agency he works for. Adam is pleading for his help so that he might finally escape his captor. All the while, a timer is set above both of their heads - and it's counting down fast. Cover created by: @CLAYTONMKHIZE
