Within the span of twenty years, Tybalt Boltshaw has never held the glory of bolts more than once. Gods are feared, inventions are shunned and people like him? Cast away. Forgotten. He is more than content to live on without a roof over his head, merely dreaming about the wonders he could have done in a different reality. That is, until he stumbles upon a chance to change his life forever. Become a prince or die a beggar. And he finds himself at the edge of a world he is not even close to understanding. In the outskirts of Skybelow, there is a Count with a legend of his own. A deserted valley with nothing but abominations. And a castle thrown into his hands with a living curse. Just what is the price of freedom? COVER BY @IsThisEva

Living under supervision, watching every step - that is the only life Hiro knew. In her world everyday survival is the most difficult task one could ever imagine. It seems like to live is to be constantly reminded that you can die every second. Until one day even her life gets taken away from her. Now she has to start working for the ones she hates the most. This allows her more freedom, at the same time tightening the noose around her neck. As her journey begins, she finds out that the world is even more cruel than she thought. She will not forget what she left behind and what she saw on the way. Only memories can keep her sane outside of the city walls that restricted her since she was born. Now that the real fight begins, the question which choices are right and wrong seems even more difficult to answer. Line between good and bad can easily start to fade, when you look death right in the eyes. After all, in the end, our decisions make us who we are.

In Nexus City, people with powers are called kinetics, but Camila Morales keeps her head down and pretends she isn't one of them. Barely scraping by with her day job, she starts working for Psychotics, a gang notorious for dealing drugs in and out of the city. Hunter Dawson is a young medical officer working for Division, the largest kinetics crime unit in the country. Despite his intimidating looks and rough attitude, he finds himself reluctant to arrest the girl who saves his life with a power so rare, people would kill for it. In an attempt to make up for her crimes, Mila shares valuable intel on Psychotics, landing her in hot water and putting a target on her back. With Psychotics wanting revenge, she finds that the only person she can trust is Hunter, who shuts her out every chance he gets with his cold demeanor. And yet, Mila finds herself getting pulled into him regardless, seeing a warmth in his eyes and compassion in his rare smiles. The one person who can help her could just end up breaking her, but Mila doesn't have anyone else to turn to, especially since Hunter is the only person who knows about her deepest secret. Book 1.
