"No! Please, please stop," she screamed.
And there she was, alone and helpless with no one around to protect her, hold her tight and tell her that everything will be okay.
It's barely been a year since Arya had been cursed. She burns it all. Everyone that she touches burns to ashes until there's nothing left. Her life had turned upside down the day her father died. She was no longer the same, fragile little girl but instead, a young, fierce woman who wouldn't let anyone break through the walls she had built around herself. She stays to herself, afraid that she would unintentionally destroy an innocent life. But once again, life takes a toll on her when she meets Daniel, the mysterious boy next door.
This book is all about curiosity, fear, love, damage and heartbreak. One question with a million answers..."Why?"
Will Daniel manage to break through Arya's walls and will Arya be able to trust him enough to let him in? What happens when these two people meet? Do sparks fly with hopes of a happy ending? Or does everything burn to ashes like it always does?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
