When a strange advertisement appears on the local newspaper asking for compliant females willing to interview and connect with the minds of the worlds worst serial killers, Aria Black thinks it nothing short of an exaggeration. She applies for the job in order to spice up her monochrome lifestyle and let loose of her past. She receives the biggest shock of her life.

[WATTYS2018 LONGLIST!] [FEATURED AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2018] Editor: @MichaelHoliday For the first time since the Battle of Endor, the Ewoks have invited the Republic back to their tiny moon to celebrate Independence Day. Much of the Republic delight at the chance to visit this proscribed location that was the turning point in the Rebellion. The Ewoks have sent missives across the galaxy to all tribal members. Reuniting the wayward tribe proves difficult: Luke's wife Naluma is about to deliver their first child, Han and Chewie are on a "trading mission" for dubious clients, and Leia is protecting a young girl from a great evil in the galaxy. The youngest member of the tribe, Ben Solo, struggles with his parents' separation, the injuries sustained on a training mission months earlier, and the burgeoning darkness within him. But a Force-ghost has been manipulating the proceedings, bringing his family together once again on Endor. Is he in time to save his lost grandson? And who's the girl?

• Long Listed for the 2018 Wattys • A Wattpad Featured Story • Top 30 in the first ever Historical Awards [ A "GREAT EXPECTATIONS" RETELLING ] GENRE: historical fiction London, 1884 "Sometimes, even messiahs can't bring back the dead." Instead of earning the reputation of a modest doctor, Matthew Knightley seems to be earning one of a raven chasing rebel amongst his peers. Taking a side turn from the family business and fighting a cold war with your father doesn't help either. Still, he does not let such inconvenices steer his ship into the wrong direction. Though, the raven Matthew keeps seeing leads him again and again to a woman with more half-truths than lies. She may not say so herself, but Mathilda Penrose may be one of those secrets that Matthew never bargained for. Hints and glimpses of a carefully structured past follow him. They all point to a past that the newer generation of the Knightleys and Penroses barely know of. Instead of abolishing that cold war with his father, Matthew finds the very base of his own Eden shattering into a thousand rays of scorching light. || Cover by @elzarion || | #33 in Historical Fiction on 26-8-18 | || UPDATED WEEKLY ||
