"For many years, I have built this school reserved for children with...special abilities. I accept these students under my care; I show no fear of their age, race, gender, flaws, sexual orientation, and so on. I believe that these children should have a chance of defending not only California but the entire world." Headmaster built Idlewild Boarding School to protect young children from the harsh laws against magical creatures. But when he died from AIDS, the school was forced by the U.S. government to shut down, sending kids back to their homes. While most children were accepted by their families, others like Nessa and Johnny Phoenix, Caleb Wolfe, and Brooke King slept in motels, homeless shelters, and abandoned buildings. As the children find another place to crash, all hope was lost until they encountered something that will change their lives forever.

After the sudden death of his best friend, Cedar Lockwood's life came to a standstill, filled with nothing but illusions born from grief and sighs carrying the hint of unending exhaustion. That is, until one day, he finds a random stranger he met in the graveyard sitting in his bedroom, claiming to be the one assigned to fulfill the final wish of the only person Cedar ever loved. "Our love, holding the innocence of honey droplets amidst the petals of white roses, cried tears of tormenting grief that day. But it also left me with one final wish that will bind us for the last time ever." A story of agonizing loss, shattering realities, newborn friendships and thrilling experiences. Will Cedar be able to break free from his cage and embrace what he wants? Will the wish become not only a gift, but also a curse for him? ----------------- Cover illustration by Tom Haugomat More info on Tom Haugomat in author's notes. ----------------- Started : 14 March, 2020 Ended : 07 July, 2020 ----------------- Achievements :) - Wattpad Editor's Choice (Jan, 2021) - 1st place in teenfiction; Bookaholics Awards - 1st place in lgbtq; The Creators Choice Awards - Best Opening, The Creator's Choice Awards - 2nd place in teenfiction, The Millenial Awards ----------------- #tmaawards2020
