"Intrinsic dignity... if I ever had that, I lost that a long time ago." Breaking follows the life of a young teenager by the name of Leo Young. If losing his mother at a small age wasn't enough, his father has put it on himself to avenge his wife by mentally, emotionally, and physically destroying his son. For many years now, Leo has come to accept this as his fate, a constant cycle of pain and torture. That is when Leo, upon going to a new school to realize his father's dream of becoming the musical star his mother once was, meets a group of five boys. These boys appear to be almost shining beacons as they live their lives in friendship and delight in the path that their dreams have set before them. Will they light a fire of hope within the dark-eyed boy's despairing heart to love himself, or will the weight of his reality come crashing down upon him in the end?

Twenty years ago, vampires emerged from the shadows and took their place among humans. With their King and the government working together, a fragile peace has been put in place. However, despite their efforts, deep-rooted fear and animosity prevents the next leap of co-existence. One such advocate of vampire dominance is no other than the Vampire Prince. A world where humans serve vampires is all he cares about. When he takes the throne, peace will be the last thing on his mind. Rin Elizabeth Borek wants nothing more than to survive. She keeps her head down and struggles to maintain normalcy in her life. But when their path cross, their entire worlds turn upside down. Trying to prevent a national outcry, the Royal family offers Rin and her parent's an opportunity. In exchange for normalcy, Rin has to teach the value of humanity to the Vampire Prince. Can Rin thaw the Prince's heart or will he succeed in pulling her into submission? I like to thank @skylarjh for the awesome cover!
