"Sometimes, we just want the world to love what little monsters we are." All stars are born in the dark- all darkness dies in the night. She lives in every glimmer of the shade in between the enchantment of the night sky. If she conquers all of her demons, then she'll have consumed almost every part of herself. Though her soul may set in the darkness; it will rise perfectly with light- she has loved the stars too fondly, to be fearful of the night. She was seventeen when she realized her whole life, her entire existence was a lie. When she realized that she was the tormentor of her own condition. She considers her newly discovered immortality a curse, until she doesn't anymore. Amidst this confusion and the unveiling of hidden, deep secrets, rises chaos that threatens to consume the darkly magic-consumed world of Magicis, as well as the naive human realms. Added to this are lethal attractions that may be dangerous not only for her, but might decide the course of the entire war going to take place. Will she be able to save the world? "The truth is- magic lives in all of us, those who look for it are the ones who find it." And whilst you may wonder whether she'll be able to conquer this series of unexpected events that rain down of the world, remember her name. Nyx Basilius. Born of chaos, and Goddess of the night.

[🥇1st Position in Watt-a-Mini Awards hosted by @nabs_xoxo : Most Unique Character Name (F)] [🥇1st Position in Starry Sky Mini Awards hosted by @NSGraphics1 : Best Blurb] [🥇1st Position in Rose Awards hosted by @SbCreations33 : Best Blurb] Fragile birds were never meant to fly. Metaphorically and practically. A bird with a broken wing shouldn't try to fly- well, if it didn't have a death wish. What do the Theodores, the Crimsons and the Hawthorns have in common? Why is her seventy five year old grandfather after her life? Why hasn't she ever noticed her cousin Lucian before? Who murders her parents? Why is her family dysfunctional? Why is a famous politician after her- a simple woman who succeeded in her career? Is there more to her history than the eye can see? As she deepens her search, Achelois's life collides with a dark buried history in a stunning twist of fate-and not everyone will survive. Because the clock is ticking, and one by one, people close to Achelois Crimson are being hunted. For her, surviving becomes part of a diabolical game.As she and Wolfe strive for success, each reveals just how far they'll go to get what they wants -- even if it means destroying the other person along the way. An edgy, addictive, and fiendishly clever tale of ambition, deceit, and power suited for fans of the dark psychological thrillers that destroy you mentally, Stalemate revels in its mind games, delivering twist after twist as it races toward a Shakespearian climax. With no choice but to stick to it, she continues shifting through a complex web of interlocking secrets and lies, some decades old and some rooted violently in the present day. As time slowly begins to run out, the answer to those questions might be what stands between life and death. *Delve inside for full summary*

I shouldn't have been walking around alone at night. I shouldn't have stopped and watch the obviously crazy man set the building on fire. And I sure of hell shouldn't have accidentally caught his attention. Then maybe, just maybe I wouldn't have been kidnapped by the world's most evil super villain. And then hopefully right now I wouldn't be wishing that he wasn't completely crazy, and wanted to kill every super hero in the world, and that he would, I don't know, take me to the movies, hold my hand as we walked together, or maybe take me to dinner one night. You know normal, cute couple stuff. Instead he likes to kick puppies when no ones watching, dropping me from high buildings, and throwing people into traffic, annoyingly. Maybe if I had just minded my own business and kept walking, maybe I wouldn't have been taken by someone who's whole mission in life is to watch every super die, and cackle evilly while he thinks of it. Maybe if I had just minded my own business and kept walking, maybe I wouldn't start feeling bad for this super villain. Maybe I wouldn't be questioning everything I've ever learned about him. And God forbid, I wouldn't be loving a villain.
