I'm really bad at descriptions, but I've written this book before (some of you might know) and then it got too confusing so I deleted it. But guess what? I'm starting again and it'll be -at least- ten times better than last time. So join Emily Carter as she goes through some emotional events. In Kidnapped By My Brothers.

Young, innocent and always well-organized Hailie Monet under sad circumstances finds out about the existence of her five older, disgustingly rich, possessive and spoiled brothers. When she's forced to live with them, she discovers that their life is full of dangerous secrets which they are going to do their best to hide, especially from their little sister.

He looked at her with a dark intensity in his brown eyes. "What makes you think you're so much better then the rest of us?" He asked stepping towards her. She tried to back away, but couldn't move; she couldn't tear her eyes away from his gaze. "Not now," Tamara desperately tried to change the topic. "I-um," Emerson stammered. "Just because you alter your appearance doesn't mean you're any different from us. Next time ask your rich daddy for the top brand contacts," he muttered as he turned to walk away. "I'm not wearing contacts!" I defended, trying to hide my lie, and crossing my arms over my chest. "Next time you lie, make it more convincing. Come on Tamara," he said not looking back. ~*~*~*~*~*~* Enter Emerson Paige; not your typical high school teen. Walking through the halls, she tries to ignore the stares and whispers of her being a stain. Not only is her firey orange red hair unique, but her purple eyes create a unique profile. It's like a giant target on her back separating her from society. Her parents are ashamed and keep trying to alter her appearance to make her 'normal'. The only thing keeping her sane is her best friend Tamara. But then she goes missing, and Emerson begins to wonder how much more she can take before she explodes. Can she find her best friend and come to terms with who she is, or will everything she treasures crumble as she continues to run from herself and the truth?

For shop girl Evin, alchemy is an understood part of life. She learned how to brew superior potions at a young age and can't imagine her life without the use of Alertness, For General Pain, and Menstrual Cramp Cure. Though already apprenticed to a local master alchemist, she can't help feeling that there might be more for her to achieve. In a different part of the continent, Master Bricot teaches alchemy at the University of Craestor and is working feverishly at his residency project--translating the sacred document The Facerum--when a student of his approaches him seeking help on an unprecedented issue. And south of Craestor in Daitak Capital, the Seat of the World, Emperor Regent Bryn Beynon can't stand potions or those who make and sell them, believing their use, especially martially, to be barbaric and cruel. His first act when coming of age will be to begin imposing legal strictures on the use and sale of such items. Out in the Wilds of Tief, Craix, who travels alone, has never been safe. Not since she was born. Forever trying to evade her pursuers, she travels across the country, constantly intercepting important messages. And over all people in the realm of Heladrith, a pantheon of powerful gods sits in judgement and benevolence, silent for centuries--but not for much longer. Potent is an original, third-person omniscient, past-tense, low fantasy tale with an ensemble cast of approximately eight characters of different genders, orientations, colors, and classes. --Seeking beta readers for this manuscript!
