A FEATURED @FANTASY STORY ❝NO ONE IS BORN EVIL, JUST LIKE NO ONE IS BORN ALONE. THEY BECOME THAT WAY THROUGH CHOICE AND CIRCUMSTANCE. I'M SO AFRAID OF WHAT YOU COULD BE, IF GIVEN THE WRONG CHOICE.❞ When Mare Barrow trades her life away to Maven Calore to save her friends lives, she has no idea what he has in store for her. She is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning abilities, and tormented by her lethal mistakes. She lives at mercy of the boy she once loved, a boy who is now King. In order to survive the King's twisted love, she must become so much more than the face of the rebellion or the lightning girl-even if it takes her down a road no one should follow. As Mare stays imprisoned at the palace, her once ragtag gang of rebels have been expanding. They prepare for war, no longer able to stay in the shadows. But Cal, the exiled prince with his own claim to Mare's heart, will do anything to get her back. CHOICES WILL BE MADE, ALLIANCES WILL BE SEALED, AND NORTA WILL BE FOREVER CHANGE. FOR ALL WILL BE TESTED AND NOT ALL WILL SURVIVE. grabthemonets | all rights reserved © | Highest Rankings | #1 in MARE out of 599 stories #161in DYSTOPIAN out of 30k stories #36 in CAL out of 1,200 stories | Awards | 1st Place in FANFICTION in the Coffee and Cake Awards hosted Began Rewrite: February of 2019 Finished: September 2020
