Liam vaults, leaps, bounds, and dodges on top of buildings. Several stories above the ground which the people walk on. Unaware of what's above their heads. Unaware of what's underneath their noses. There's less than a hundred of those like Liam. Less than a hundred that can see the eyes and hands playing the millions of people like chess pieces. The Eyes think they're all kings. Luckily even a pawn can aid in the checkmate of a king.

✦ Ardent ✦ TMR ~ (Thomas)
The world before is something she can never catch. Memories slip through her fingers like grains of sand, leaving only fragments of something lost, something taken. She wakes in a prison of towering stone walls, surrounded by boys with wary eyes and guarded smiles. They don't know her, they don't trust her, and maybe they shouldn't. Maybe she shouldn't even trust herself... But then there's him. The boy with searching eyes and unconditional understanding. He doesn't know her past, or the weight pressing down on her. But somehow, in a world full of uncertainty, he feels like the closest thing to solid ground. The closest thing to a heartbeat. Yet, the Maze looms, its secrets climbing their way to the surface. And with every answer uncovered, another question rises, threatening to unravel everything they've worked to solve. Something isn't right. And she only has one goal... Get them out.Complete
Hollow (2017)
I fall to the floor, but with enough concentration I manage to stand. "Why are you doing this?" I hiss, struggling to keep my balance. "Most people think the most important piece on the chess board is the king, or the queen or the rook; some even think it's the bishop." "You killed him, didn't you?" "I like to think it's the pawn." He taunts, coming to stand in front of me. "Underestimated and yet the most dangerous...with a little patience it can become anything. Quite interesting, don't you think?" "I'm not in the mood for your little mind games." "Will you do as you're fucking told or are we going to have a problem?" He asks with barely restrained fury, his eyes holding mine captive, making it clear that I'm supposed to give him an answer. "I guess we're gonna have a problem."Complete

Never Before You
In a world where distance is measured not just in miles, but in lives, two people find themselves inexplicably drawn together-despite everything that should keep them apart. One is bound by secrets, a past that refuses to let go. The other has everything to lose, yet somehow, they're willing to risk it all. But when their paths cross, something between them stirs-an undeniable pull neither can ignore. Despite their instincts to walk away, neither can break free. The question is, what happens when two people so different, and yet so entwined, are forced to confront a connection neither understands but both can't resist?Complete
