[FEATURED ON WATTPAD ROMANCE] He was beautiful, all tousled, ink-black hair and elegant cheekbones, but his eyes were what kept her gaze locked on him. They were a brilliant gold, like rich honey, framed by long, dark eyelashes. There was a hint of mischief in them, and in the curve of his lips. He seemed her age, about seventeen or eighteen, and was dressed in a dark lightsuit and tactical boots. She could see a leather sword strap across his chest and the glint of blades in the lining of his jacket. The knife she had thrown at him was in his hand, fingers gripping the handle loosely. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you normally throw knives at strangers you don't know? Or just the good-looking ones?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice as he spoke. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sophia Altus, daughter of the Ice Queen, has lived all her life with no real danger. But when the Viperi, the monstrous enemy of her world- the Elementales, invade her home and kills her mother, she is sent to Joie Hall in New York City for her own safety, and to train so that one day, she can get her revenge.

The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

It's been seven months since the pandemic hit with this virus and the world has been ravaged and left to ruins. Society has crumbled to nothing and more than three fourths of the population have been infected with the mysterious virus that took the world by storm.

Ivory Perkins knew too much. She had watched Remus Lupin from afar, wondering about the scars that ran across his face and thinking that they made him beautiful in a strange and mysterious way. He intrigued her in a way that she'd never been intrigued before. He was a paradox, because everything about him was contradictory. He was beautiful, but also damaged almost beyond repair. He appeared battered, but at the same time he held so much strength. Yet Ivory paid too much attention to details, and she noticed more than she ought to. There was something strange about the boy who sat behind her in Transfiguration and his three best friends. They disappeared sometimesーonce a month, to be exact. No one else seemed to notice the pattern: that it was always on the full moon. She was the only one to notice these things, simply because only she cared enough to notice. For some reason, whatever her assumptions were about what Remus was didn't scare her away, whether those assumptions were true or not. She had always wanted a reason to get close to him, but horrible circumstances brought them together when Ivory's entire world crumbled into nothingness. As she got closer to Remus, she realized that he was just as broken as she was. He had a scarred face; she had a scarred heart. Remus and Ivory, Ivory and Remus... they were both fragmented pieces. But maybe two broken pieces could fit together to form a masterpiece. © Copyright 2016 by Lily White. All rights reserved.

For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone.
