Dublin, a very boring village in Ireland; Where nothing ever happened, that is until one warm spring day in March. 21-year-old Maria Harper had just started her internship at Ambrose's Photography Co. She had been taking pictures of the beautiful amethyst colored blooms. She walked through the forest,taking pictures of almost every flower she'd seen. Some were blue, purple, or red. Whilst others were orange, yellow, and pink. Taking pictures of the sun through the trees, and the little critters low on the ground. Stopping for a rest and some water, she scrolled through her pictures. One had definitely caught her eye. A photograph of the sun, trees, flowers, and butterflies. But in the corner of the photo standing by a large oak tree was a tall figure in a black hoodie. She thought it might have been a hiker, but as she continued to look through them, the figure was in every photo. The breath hitched in Maria's throat, before she sprinted from the forest.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION Griffin Tomlin is dead. And Clara's sister killed him . . . Four months after the murder, the entire town of Shiloh is still in shock. For Clara Porterfield, the normal world has crumbled around her in a million chaotic pieces. Now Clara lives in a new reality, where her sister awaits trial for murder, her mother obsessively digs in a dead, frozen garden, and her father lives and breathes denial. At school, Clara is haunted by her classmates' morbid curiosity-and all of the unspoken questions they won't ask. But none of them knows what she knows . . . Now Clara's sister wants something from her-the one thing in all of this that Clara isn't ready to face: the truth about what really happened that night. Because this story didn't die with Griffin Tomlin. There's another story that needs to be told. And sometimes, the lies we're told are nowhere near as deadly as the lies we tell ourselves . . .

"A King is not complete without his Queen." This is a story. A story that is far too unreal for anyone believe. A story that everyone should believe in. A story about love and death. A story so powerful that even the greatest and scariest leaders will kneel for it. A story about a woman and a man. A story of how a tiny mere human girl who made the werewolf King kneel in front of her because she shed a tear. This is not the fairytale that you thought you knew COMPLETED
