Demons and angels have been at war since the beginning of time. Only now has the mortal realm been dragged in the middle of the war. Isabella Marcarta is a young child who lives a mundane life, but that changes when one day demons attack her school and she lands in Ashkaroth, a realm that's infested with demons and learns she's now next on Death's (the empress of the demons) list of people to kill alongside of having the goal to destroy the angels and end the war once and for all. With the aid of the Rebellion, a group rebelling against the empire, playing cat and mouse with Death, the taunting of a voice she can't quite the place, and a pain and itching from something within her, will she ever make it home?

Only one answer remains answers, 'Who?' Book one follows Ben, a mute character who wakes up in some sort of facility, doing roles and jobs to get enough credits to upgrade his room. But questions remain, Where is he? Why is he there?

I'm going to start a new series, and that's the reading... series, where I have different book characters read their books. I've read a lot of this for Percy Jackson, but I think I want to start off the series with the Cassandra Clare books. I haven't read all of them yet, but I'm going to try my best. This is going to have characters from Last Hours and the Clockwork series, so be prepared for that.

Natascha Griggs never asked to be a killer. But when her magic spiraled out of control, leaving bodies in its wake, she was given a choice-rot in prison or be sent to the Institute for the Unruly, a facility designed to rehabilitate children like her. She chose survival. But the Institute isn't just a school. Beneath its pristine walls, something sinister lurks. Whispers of a long-dead tyrant, a cult that never truly died-and a chilling truth: they believe she's the key to bringing their leader back. As she struggles to control her power and navigate the shifting alliances within the Institute, Natascha begins uncovering secrets she was never meant to find. With time running out and the walls closing in, she must decide: fight against a past she barely understands or embrace the darkness and become what they need her to be. One choice could save her. One choice could doom them all. ⸻ Disclaimer: The Institute for the Unruly is being written as part of a 30-day rough draft challenge. This means the story is in its earliest, unpolished form, with ongoing development. Expect raw storytelling, evolving ideas, and a journey that will refine over time! TikTok-@katyohera
