The palace is a graveyard of dreams and hope. It slowly lures you in with its mesmerizing beauty, giving silky promises of power and wealth. But as soon as you take a step into the mirage, the doors snap shut. Then you realize... The high palace walls are nothing more than a cage of bones. The peaceful lotus pool is simply a resting place for thousands of lost souls. And laughter and smiles are a weapon to kill you before you can even mutter a single word. When lucky, a remain or two may find its way out - a fragmented jade or two bloody teeth, a remembrance that this indeed was history. From her birth, she was chained by the invisible strings of fate. What was the palace but another prison? Her bargain was her freedom, and his bet was the future of the empire. He favored the land over her, so she chose herself over him. But when she finally had the chance to escape, she found that she couldn't. For her hands were spotted with crimson blood.

Lily and Jason were destined to meet, to fight for what they want, to balance each other's opposite personalities and to rise against all odds to fall in love. It should have been perfect. They were a family, a team, a once-in-a-lifetime partnership, but then destiny changed. Lily was taken. It was sudden, unnecessary, and all that remained in her place was a crying baby boy. Jason's life as he knew it, had ended. However, it had only begun. Forced to be a single parent to three children, and surviving without the only color to lighten his newly dark world, he struggles to make ends meet in more ways than one. Until, something greater than destiny intervenes, something not even death can control - fate. And fate comes in the shape of a seven-year-old girl named Isla Harrison, who against all odds, believes herself entirely to be the reincarnated love of his life. There are powerful forces at play and as the years go by, Isla just won't give up, pushing Jason to confront the laughable possibility that the impossible words leaving her mouth could in fact be true. But it's not that simple. And with only a matter of days left to convince her family of the truth, Isla's patience and sanity is stretched to breaking point. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A split story of past and present that ranges over one lifetime, one unforgettable romance and a love to be reborn for.

Don't look at me. There is nothing to see. I don't have the hourglass body you want. I don't have the toned muscular legs you crave. I don't have the easygoing personality you like. I can't talk to people, I can't even sustain a conversation for 3 minutes. I am just awkward. Well, why are you still looking at me? There is really nothing to see! --- Copyright 2016 UPDATES EVERY MONDAY-TO CLEAR YOUR MONDAY BLUES ;)

HIGHEST RANK- #5 in Science Fiction (6/23/16) Would you give up everything you've ever loved for a world that never even knew your name? Be an unnoticed hero, almost nonexistent... Rogue 33 is a powerful Deviant devoted to the military, the government, and the nation of Valburn. Confident that every aspect of her life has been defined for a purpose, she knows exactly who and what she is fighting for. Things are all so clear to her. Well, at least they used to be. When she unravels a world of arcane secrets behind the ruling of the Monarchs, her life is plunged into a fear of the unknown. Nothing is what it seems. Rogue starts to question everything around her. She realises that she is merely a pawn in a very dangerous game.

One world is dying and another is struggling yet to be born. With war, rebellion, and forbidden love wrenched into her life, it may be natural for Rogue to begin denying that her hope for the demolition of a twisted society really exists. But Rogue has made it her goal to start a new age--one of concord and amity. But can she make the choice that will determine the future of all Valburn: to be selfish or to be selfless? An unnoticed hero, almost nonexistent... *UPDATED EVERY FOUR DAYS* stunning cover by @weeknder (thank you so much! :D)

She's going to fight for what her heart wants every step of the way. This is Ellie's story, and it's going to be one bumpy, complicated romance that's nothing like the fairy tales say.
