Ydra is a foreigner in Vikkar, a land that hates her kind. She's managed to scrape together a life translating for merchants and building a bank of favors, but when the captain of the guard summons her for work only she can do, Ydra must trust a man who hates her shapeshifting kind and work with him to discover the true motives of the Dalydri and why people are going missing in the capitol. Now, Ydra must face her past head-on while Elsken struggles to find where his loyalties lie more-with the throne he's sworn to guard or the friends he's made working in the palace. When the truth is revealed about Ydra's past, will he risk it all to help her? (This is the third draft of this book, currently in an open beta. I will be editing the draft based off comments in order to improve before I push towards actually publishing it)

Prithika Singh would have told you that her love life was going great. After all, who could argue that the pretty cheerleader and the handsome quarterback with their sweet year-long relationship were anything less than a dream couple? But Prithika is startled awake when she sees her boyfriend, Carter Hale, kissing Julia Hart, one of the supposedly average girls, in the middle of the hallway on the first day of school. Suddenly, her vision for her junior year is totally derailed, and she's left feeling uncertain about her sense of trust and relationships. And then along comes Jackson Rains, Julia's ex-boyfriend, notorious at Poppy Hills High for his (crappy) motorcycle, tousled dark hair, black leather boots, and two very public fistfights. In an attempt to save their past relationships, Jackson and Prithika hatch a probably terrible plan: make everyone think they're dating. Prithika will try to show Carter she can be a more low-maintenance girlfriend, Jackson will try to show Julia that he can be a more attentive boyfriend, and then Carter and Julia will get jealous and return to the partners they were supposed to be with in the first place, and it'll all go back to normal. But it seems the more Prithika tries to make things fit the picture-perfect path her life was on, the more things fly off the rails: she's trapped in trying to be someone she's not, she's lying to her best friends Laila and Aurora, she can tell Aurora's keeping secrets, she realizes how little she actually knows Carter, and she's getting more invested in Jackson's personal life than expected. Can she get her life back under control? Or will trying to fix things make a bigger mess?
