But tragedy struck her family and it had always been her moms dream. The first day she's there she makes a fool out of herself in front of the most popular group in all of Crestwood. And to make matters worse one of them is her roommate! They call themselves the Devara. (Stupid, she knows). And yet she can't help but feel drawn to them. Drawn to everything about them. So Avaryn does what she does best, she investigates. Only what she finds is a whole other dangerous world. A world of secrets and pain and even magic. The Devara is supernatural. They come from a whole other world. Not only that but they are heirs to this world. They are royalty. And with royalty comes enemies ... And now these enemies want Avaryn. And the only way she'll survive is sticking with the Devara. That is ... If she doesn't kill them first. Mystery, romance, death, lies. A plot twist you won't see coming. Shadows of Ash and Gold.

******* "Is this what you want Angel?" Axel panted, trailing his lips up my neck to my face. I shivered when I felt his lips start sucking at a spot on my neck. "Come on, tell me this is what you want Mia because I don't think I can keep myself away from you anymore." His voice was deep and laced with desire, his eyes searched mine for permission. I found myself nodding my head, letting him know this was what I wanted, his lips on mine. I nearly passed out when I felt his teeth pull at my bottom lip, gently biting down on it "Use your words Mia." Axel whispered. "I need to hear you say it." He groaned. "I want you to kiss me." ******* Mia Morrison was a girl that was believed to be made out of steel or at least that's what everyone thought.

"I admit it. I was afraid to love him. He was an amazing mystery and he carried things deep inside him that no one has yet to understand and I, I was afraid to fail, like so many before me. He was the ocean, and I was just a girl who loved the waves but was just too terrified to swim." I'm Amelia Jane Messar. I'm just a normal 17 year old that has just started her senior year at high school. I live in a normal house, in a normal town with my pretty normal family and I guess you could say I was a very normal girl, nothing special at all. And I thought everything was going to stay that way but just as I started my senior year things began to start changing, and the timid school girl I was finally started to change. But this tale isn't all about the changes I go through, it's about who changed me. Luca Millar, he was bad. He smoked a lot and alcohol was one of his closest friends, he was cocky and arrogant, he broke the law frequently and he drove way to fast for his own good. And he didn't care one tiny little bit because no one ever taught him how to. But spending more time with him made me realise that there was way more to Luca that first met the eye, a couple of real dark tales hidden beneath the surface of this supposedly gorgeous and perfect bad boy. And I tried not to fall for him, with all my inner soul and being I tried, but I suppose I just could not help myself. But Luca made me feel different then anyone else ever had. He seemed to want to be the best man he could be for me, he couldn't bare the thought of me getting hurt by anyone, including him. He made me feel as though he would kill to protect me, a girl who cared about someone as worthless as him in all her perfection. I knew this all wasn't true, and many people told me so. He was just playing a game. But for once I just really wanted my tale to end without the pain and sorrow. And I think deep down I always secretly knew that there would never be anyone else. I only ever wanted him.
