"You can only push a person so far before they break." The dark veil of the Black Prom Massacre still hangs heavy over Chamberlain, Maine. Everyone believes the tragedy's catalyst, Carrie White, is dead, but they are wrong. Barely clinging to life and sanity, Carrie flees her infamous past, alone and hunted for the devastating telekinetic power that erupted from her. Just as hope fades, a mysterious older man finds her and leads her to the only person who might hold the key to her survival: Jago, a Tibetan warrior-monk consumed by a quest for atonement. But Carrie's troubles have only just begun. The same deadly forces that stalk the competitors of the Killer Instinct tournament-those who seek to harness her "cursed" ability-are closing in. With the terrifying, impending apocalypse of Gargos's invasion drawing near, Carrie must master the raw, brutal strength of her power before it consumes her. The journey towards redemption has begun. ------------------------------------------ Cover credited by @Niranju98.

"He is not what he seems to be, sweetheart. He's far from it. Remember to listen to what he is saying and you're going to be amazed at how happy he is going to make you. Defy him and he is going to unleash the beast he's kept trapped in him all this time. It's all darkness and in this darkness, you'll find yourself entangled and trapped." He warns me. I don't believe him. That couldn't be possible. "You're lying." I find myself spitting those words at him. "Sure he is cocky and arrogant from time to time but he's not the devil. What exactly are you trying to imply?" He only scoffs at my reaction. "You will only see what he wants to show you. Stop being naive now." He starts to go away, smirking, leaving me in the empty dark hallway. *** The Ancients believed the departed souls can all reincarnate as many times as they want but it is possible only if one has not yet fulfilled their purpose in life. No matter which path you choose, you can only understand with time that none of us has power over any matter in the universe. We are merely like pawns in a game of chess while every move of ours is nothing but a command from the player. June Morrison has always contemplated her image as a Plain Jane. Her life felt like a monotonous bumpy car ride that never seemed to end and she didn't have the slightest clue in which direction she was heading, until him. Yet what happens when she learns that everything she's ever known in her life has been nothing but a lie? Will she be able to accept all the secrets of another life that has long been forgotten and buried deep where things only spiral downward once she begins to find them out? And sometimes the person we most believe in is the one who pushes us down from the edge of a cliff. . . . .

Don't play in the rain... In Roisin's world, rain is both the people's saviour and doom. It absorbs their grief, their fear, even their dreams. But, as all things do, it comes with consequences. With one touch, one single raindrop, Roisin could take in that fear and grief. In this world, touching the rain is dangerous, and taboo. But when her best friend leaves with no goodbye, and someone she thought she'd have forever falls violently ill, she has a dream. A dream that could give her the answers to everything she seeks, that could repair her once perfect life. A dream that disappears. And that can only be found by doing what everyone has always warned her against. Conquering her so called saviour. Defeating that doom.
