Book 2 of Rewritten: The Inamorate Saga. In the wake of war, with the lands still ravaged and generations still reeling; peace lay in the balance. Peace brought upon through exile and the threat of genocide, peace holding only at the very edges of society. History was told through tales of woe, and spoken in words of victory, both true in their own right. There had been a stillness that had fallen, a silence that had created the foundations of what some might call the future. Through that stillness, one creed had flourished, whilst the other had rebuilt what little they could from the ashes they had. Kija could wait no longer. He had given the wolves their time, had waited with bated breath until the moment he hoped for had arisen. Now was the time to accept that that moment would never come, choke down the bitter pill that was their reality. There would be no mercy, no sympathy. And who was to expect as such? It was Kija's people, Kija's blood, that had brought about such conflict, and their people were to suffer the consequences. Regardless, Kija wouldn't act with hope. He couldn't wish for anything other than the bare minimum. He had one goal, one aim, and then he, too, could move on with those around him. Kija would confront the wolves, meet with the Crown Prince of his sworn enemy. He would beg, plead, drop to his knees. Whatever was necessary. Kija would bow to those that opposed him not for himself, not for his own future, but for that of his King. Kija would bring Rammone home, and Kija would reunite him with his love.

A dark foe. A forbidden love. A deadly, high-seas quest. Mercenary sailor Jack's past comes back to haunt him when his crew receives a commission during the height of hurricane season. Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.

The fight to save Oceana has only just begun. Valory, Arden, and the mercenary crew of Windjammer return to the capital to learn that the alliance marching against them is far darker than they had feared. Racing against time to defend Anaphe, the capital's twin-city, from destruction, Valory and Arden head south even as duty drives a wedge between them. Contract-bound, Valory fulfills his late father's wishes and sails for Anaphe to prepare the city for siege. While spies and loyalists slither through his court, an army of twisted creatures advances upon Anaphe's walls, the likes of which haven't been seen for generations. Meanwhile, Arden travels westward in a bid to win an unprecedented alliance that could either save Anaphe from collapse -- or bring Windjammer to ruin. The road back to the city proves to be no easy one, however, for their enemy lies closer to home than they ever could have imagined.

Samara comes closer to me, now studying my face. Her eyes are wandering all over my facial features. I contort my face in confusion at her weird stares, "Umm, hey-" "Listen, can you wear my wedding dress and be a bride at my place?" She questions. Ec-excuse me? I give her a long stare. I think she is joking and would burst into laughter any minute...but she doesn't. Her face has no trace of humour. "What?" I quirk up my brow. "You've to be a bride at my place." She repeats with no hesitation. Cold shiver trickles through me. .... An Accidental Bride. A Mistaken Groom. A Marriage Neither Saw Coming. 18-year-old Sanaya Frances was finding a way to pay for college.
