"Two cannot win Accuse me your pain Decide who to desire, I will kill you with fire."

"Lies beneath their hearts, Capture them upon my darts Through him I conceal, Forgive me through my sins."

Sarr Antha Sartorius grew up believing that love was stronger than hatred. But she was wrong. Born into a world where two powerful families were trapped in a never-ending rivalry, Sarr was forced to learn that not everyone who smiles at her is on her side, and not every promise is meant to be kept. She found herself falling for Silvestri Selrom - the one person she was warned to stay away from. Their love became a dangerous game filled with secrets, betrayal, and truths that were buried for years. But when the past finally catches up with them, Sarr discovers that the people she trusted the most were the ones who hid the biggest lies. A love that was never meant to exist. A war that was never supposed to end. And a girl who was raised by chaos. Now Sarr must choose: Will she become the monster everyone expects her to be? Or will she be the one who finally ends the cycle of hatred? "Forget me, my past. The chaos I carry shall finally rest. Justice is what I seek, And I'll drag you to the bottom with me." | Wattys 2018 Longlist & Shortlist |
