Sunday is nineteen and has a talent for getting in trouble. After being expelled from nearly every school she's attended, her parents finally ship her off to Saunders Academy-a last resort for problem students. But Saunders isn't just any school. Every student is placed into a classification that defines who they are: Dom or Sub, Caregiver or Little, Brat or Tamer, Pet or Slave. What she thought would be another easy expulsion turns into something she can't control. Because once you're classified at Saunders-escaping isn't as simple as breaking the rules.

When the first king, Basileus, receives a cryptic vision of his fate - and that of the realm he rules - he swears that it will not come to pass. Refusing to bow to what he has seen, he sets forth on a perilous quest to reassemble a shattered crown said to pierce the veil between dream and reality, believing that if fate can be witnessed, it can be undone. Accompanied by his loyal companions, he ventures into myth-forged realms of splendor and savagery, where ancient powers still breathe and the land itself remembers older wars, forging fragile alliances with mythical races and facing perils no mortal was meant to survive - determined to outrun the shadow of destiny itself. Driven by a relentless hunger for truth, Basileus begins to unravel the hidden fabric of his world in hopes of severing the thread laid before him. But the deeper he reaches, the more vast and terrible the design appears - and the closer he draws to forces older than kings. What price will he pay for revelation? His sanity? His body? His soul? And when the reckoning comes, will he stand as the man who defied fate - or the one who finally understood it?

She will navigate the future memories of her life, but will the future break her before it even happens? +Prologue+ "Since you are a white wolf, any regular wolf will not work for you. Possibly not even an Alpha." "The higher the rank, the more abusive." I whimper slightly. "Beckah, don't be afraid of what you don't know. Moon Goddess works in mysterious ways." He tells me, slightly ordering me. "Can i see my parents, and their wolves?" I ask sinking into the hospital chair. "Not now, you're still fragile." He declares standing. "For now you will be living in the Training house. Have you gone into heat yet?" He asks. "No Alpha." I tell him. "When you do, make sure the doors are locked." He tells me chuckling softly. Those wolves could easily make the locks break. "Alpha, you would let me be raped?" I ask stunned. "You can fight them." He tells me, ignoring my pure fear. "You will fight them." "Alpha, please." I beg almost crying, Phoebe rages inside of me. "Learn how to fight." He tells me before walking out of my sight.

Alice in the year 3015 has finally woken up. Her human instincts awakening spontaneously in a world where they no longer belong.

Milo Granger has always believed he was destined for nothing-just another seventeen-year-old stocking shelves in a forgotten town, cursing the world with a voice sharp enough to sound like he doesn't care. He cares too much. That's the problem. Then he meets Dr. Lila Harrow-brilliant, exiled, and married into a life Milo will never touch. Once a renowned university professor, now the town's whispered cautionary tale, she carries her disgrace like a second spine. Their connection shouldn't happen. It isn't appropriate. It isn't fair. But it feels like recognition-like two ghosts realizing they died the same way. As rumors spread, as class walls tighten, as the past refuses to stay buried, Milo learns love isn't a solution, or a destination-it's a process, a becoming, a quiet rebellion. And when tragedy strikes, he's forced to ask the question that terrifies him most: If a life is ordinary, forgettable, unremarkable- can love still make it extraordinary? A story about forbidden affection, the brutality of reputation, and the kind of love that outlives the body. Lyrical, aching, intimate-perfect for readers who crave emotional destruction. Because sometimes the greatest catastrophes are quiet.

"So you don't think you have a past life?" He inquired. "No. Unless you count my birth mark. Zoey thinks I come from a line of royalty." I explain. "Let me see." "What?" My eyes widened and eyebrows scrunched at his request, but he ignored my surprised demeanor and reach for my right shoulder. "It's over here isn't it?" He asked calmly, tucking his thumb under the fabric of my collar prepared to pull it down. Astonished at his motions I pulled back, making his hand slip away. "Don't touch me." I spluttered. His face twisted confused. "I'm only trying to determine your past life." "You can't just pull my shirt down! I don't even know you!" He rolled his eyes, "Calm down, I'm not going to do anything. Besides, you know my name, isn't that enough to trust me?" "You told me your name's Grim. Any sane person would be weary to trust someone claiming to be an Angel of Death."

Abyss narrowed his fiery red eyes. "A girl? Are you sure, Ariel?" The smaller demon nodded. "Yes, my Lord. A girl. But she possesses a rare gift, my Lord. Something we should we wary of." Ariel could feel the Demon of Chaos glaring down at her. She was hardly larger than a grown female human, while he was barely smaller than Earth himself! Abyss scooped the Demon historian up in his massive, clawed hands. "What gift?" He growled. As the King of Hell, he never liked it when something got in his way of causing destruction in the Heavens and Earth. "My Lord, please have mercy unto me. The girl- she is a Defier."
