UPDATE: this book is getting published! While I'd love to keep the first draft fully on here, it's very different than the soon-to-be-published version (don't get me started on how problematic the first draft was). And by different, I mean different title, different synopsis and a lot of scenes have been either redacted or added. If you'd like to know more, I have frequent updates on my IG at @author_linguisticsaddict They say opposites attract. But that wasn't the case for Layla and Jaxon. BEFORE Both bear the deep scars of despair, and for that, they were unknowingly drawn to each other. After surviving a freak accident, Layla struggles to keep up with life and high school and move past the grief. Even though the cut ties, sleepless nights, and repeated blame almost makes it impossible. Until she meets Jaxon, someone who might just make life worth living again. But how can they find happiness with each other when they are both broken beyond repair? AFTER She will never see him again. After seizing a chance to escape from her past, Layla knows she's not going to make the same mistake she did three years ago. She's determined to move on from what happened, stay hidden from those in her past, and find happiness again. But like all things, that's easier said than done. And when the last person she expects collides into her life, it becomes near impossible. ººººººººººººººººº She doesn't believe in serendipity. He refuses to give up. Maybe, they can light up each other's world.

A sudden mysterious death of a beloved retainer causes Luciela to emerge form her isolation and solve the murder case. With revenge in mind, along the way, she will encounter her retainer's allies, King Ian McKinlin, King of all Beast and his people. She will also meet her long time nemisis, The Saints Guild, which has grown over the centuries. Their soul purpose in their human life is to police the lycanthropes, the nightwalkers and to maintain the purity of the human race. Luciela will remind not only the nightwalkers of their history, but she will remind everyone why they call her The Blood Queen.

Ana was born with an actual gift. It wasn't impressive or extremely supernatural; it merely allowed her to know a person's future through physical contact. She lived a simple life helping others until she met Jordan, and her life changed forever.
