A mystery\horror book. In a different world than we live in, there is the Flower of Despair. It is said to curse anyone who touches it, no matter what. The story takes place in their alternate world of Japan. A teenage girl named Ritsuko Akiyama is one of the rare Despair Healers. She has the power to heal anyone cursed by the Flower of Despair. After keeping track of five specific children for 12 years, Ritsuko's father decides to send her to the village of Crysolia where the five cursed children are now in Crysolia's high school. Her mission is to heal these cursed ones. One catch; she cannot reveal her real identity before she heals them. She must keep her real motives in Crysolia a secret. When she meets the five, they seem like normal people, often gloomy but normal. However, there's something going on in the village and Ritsuko starts to question their sanity. With all this to worry about, meeting some new friends that she really cares about and trying to figure out a mystery that has taken place, will she find a balance to keep her identity secret and heal the five before it might be too late?

One day while volunteering at the local hospital, she encounters a mute elderly woman who begs her with expressive hands to stay after the nurses leave.

High school sweetheart Jadie bumps into Cass at her favorite daily café... when he's supposed to be studying abroad halfway across the world. Ghosts from her past reopen closed wounds... One message is loud and clear: To heal others, you have to heal yourself first. Should she warn the police about the upcoming murder? Tell anyone else about her abilities?

" @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors. As as a Shadow Weaver who's survived childhood and whose golden-flecked irises have faded, concealing her talent, Mirra's own value is priceless on the black-market. Taken to a lawless town in the northern territories, Mirra convinces her captors to sell her to a mysterious young man destined for the same province as the officer who has bought her brother. The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition. He has been in hiding, waiting for a Shadow Weaver whose skill he can use to discover who ordered his assassination. But before he will risk breaking his father's law and taking Mirra to the royal court, he must test her talent and her ability to hide it. If Mirra fails, her hopes of seeing her brother again will be cut by the noose around her neck.

#5 in Mystery/Thriller on 10/2 ❝You have no idea about how dangerous I am, who I am and what I did. I prefer it that way. I am the designer of my own catastrophe, I am my own villain and own destruction. Don't acquaint yourself with me, you will regret it immensely in the future,❞ she paused to take a whiff of her half-finished cigarette and tainted the air with both her exhale of smoke and her presence, then continued in a low voice,❝But take one advice of mine― never ever trust anyone in Roséville.❞ ❝Not even you?❞ ❝Especially me.❞ graphic: -ambedo- ©All Rights Reserved Praise: @archertypes (Cinderelliot): ❝I'M HOOKED. HOW IS IT NOT AT 1 MILLION READS?❞ @joymoment (Every Second): ❝Obsessed. This is the only word that can describe my love for this book! It's like finding buried treasure where you weren't looking for it! It grabs you by the collar from the very first word & drags you into this intense world of such vivid & rich detail! Words can't really describe how much I love this book & how amazingly it is written! I pity all those poor suckers who have yet to find the amazingness that's this book! I can't wait to see where this book takes you because its truly amazing and deserves all the recognition it could ever receive! You are amazing! Your way with words is breathtaking to say the least!❞ @orphanblood (Mediocre Poems): ❝I am very honored as a reader to be reading something that is fresh and not something with 500k or even a million and more reads. I would say, don't complain about those artificial & cliché stories. Read something new & valuable. Everyone might not like it, but it possesses originality which is why I truly respect. I like the mystery behind it bc you want to leave your readers wanting more. Each chapter doesn't need to have a thrill in it. You want us to come back for seconds like dinner at a dinner table. I admire how detailed your chapters are. This will be an AWESOME full length book!❞
