[Fangs Series #1] Intimidating. Menacing. Perilous. Three best words that describe her own version of Knight in Shining Armor. All Rights Reserved 2014 // by Thyriza

"Existence is no longer a free right. It is a privilege, a reward... a crime." After witnessing her father fail to claim his rights to exist and knowing the truth behind her mother's disappearance, Arian Benedictus Zhu became a rebellious child whose sole purpose is to destroy the Superior Courts of Mankind's Life and Existence. She is trapped in a world where gods and goddesses have dominated the world of humans; a world where a person can only exist for two decades for free. After which, every mortal must go under a trial every decade in front of the deities to narrate how "proper" they have been living and defend their will to exist. There are six lower deities: Goddess of Time, God of Emotion, Goddess of Kindness and Love, God of Honesty, God of Mercy and Forgiveness, and Goddess of Universal Affinity. Seated inside the Higher Court of Existence is no other than the most powerful and divine Goddess of Existence, whose final verdict determines a mortal's fate. There are only two verdicts: worthy or not worthy. Failure to obtain a worthy verdict from the Higher Court of Existence immediately ceases a mortal's existence and he is wiped out from mankind. However, there is another option that Arian Zhu is tempted to take. She wanted to rebel against the Goddess of Existence, to wreak havoc at all costs against her power. She would rather kill herself than allow the deity the satisfaction of convicting her not worthy of existence. There is one choice that she could accept that would save her from the verdict. It is the highest form of all crime and a death sentence just by even considering it. Arian had to become a Thief of Existence.

"Every year, when the snow comes, I know something will change my life." Sophia Thatcher was a young girl surrounded by the best people, except her mother who was cruel and selfish about anything that concerned her happiness. However, her mother's lack of affection didn't preclude her because of the presence of her friends and true love. Her life was all laid out for her until the first miserable snow in December wiped out the only ray of hope in her soul. Lost and guilty, she finds herself changing into the worst possible version of herself as anger and wrath became her only salvation. When Lukien Keane Miller-Smythe came, it became the most destructive tug-of-war in their lives as they both lose themselves in the process of winning the other. The right decision was to let go but there was something challenging when it came to Sophia Thatcher's wild games of chase. To make matters worse, Sophia's scars are too deep to be healed as they keep on multiplying, just like how the snow becomes thicker and heavier with each whistle of the wind. A painful gripping tale of a woman who buried her identity as she succumbed to her selfish needs in an attempt of covering up her wounds, "The Snow In December" tells us how growth and healing have their own pace; that the deepest scars in our hearts which are considered impossible to heal can still scream for someone... and how the happiest endings can never eliminate the possibility of ending up alone.
