❝ An exile should remember that they will die in these lands and there is nothing they can do but fight. ❞ [complete | editor's pick | book 1] The Reaper's Curse has come, the gods have foreseen death and people are helpless to fight it. Those infected lose their minds, feasting on souls and flesh. Surviving the Reaper's Curse means being forced from Muovea's capital and into exile, abandoned and forgotten. Alicia Zalana had her entire life before her, destined for greatness amongst the opulent palace of the capital. But when the queen is murdered and Alicia is the only one who knows who did it, she's compelled to play her hand and risk exile. Or much, much more. As long-forgotten legends begin to stir beneath the ancient stone of Muovea, Alicia will discover just how much she's willing to sacrifice, and just how much she cares for the captain who saved her life. ➳ Wattpad Editor's Pick (May 2020) ➳ Featured in @WattpadDarkFantasy's 'The Bestiary' reading list ➳ Featured in @Fantasy's 'Dark Fantasy' reading list ➳ Featured in @StoriesUndiscovered's 'Diamond' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadZombies' 'Voodoo Hoodoo' reading list ➳ Featured in @SpeculativeFiction's 'More Than The Eye Can See' reading list ➳ Complete! ➳ This book is part of a duology (a two book series) and is the first.

She doesn't really fit in with the Nerds, or the Drama kids, or the Artists, or the Sporty crowd either. Is she a Popular kid? Nah, she'd rather barf. Come to think of it, she doesn't fit in anywhere, except right in the middle of the proverbial Food Chain of High School. That's where she fits in. She's a Middle. At a typical american High School, they're rare to come across. So how blessed she thinks she might be when she meets one of her own kind. When Aubrey Jensen's green eyes meet a boy's charming hazel ones, her life takes a (mostly) pleasant turn. A stare down, a friend request, a chat and a stroll down the lane of emotions is all it takes, and BAM! they're best friends. Question is, how long before they drop the act?
