"One rainy night in Paris, there was a girl running.  The brisk wind cut through her wet, tattered dress. She felt like she was running for hours through the slums of the city, when in fact, it was only minutes.  She knew he would send someone after her but she dreamed he wouldn't.  She wanted to be free of him; escape from the life she is living.  She didn't want to steal or lie or cheat her way through life anymore. She didn't want to be part of his schemes to get money.  Her name was Éponine, and she wanted to start over."  


After a chance encounter two years ago, Éponine and Enjolras's paths cross again. However this time will it develop into a relationship, or are the obstacles they face too much?

Until one night. When she saw him. Aryan Sehgal. He smiles even at his haters. Coming from a self-made rich family, he had everything he wanted until the picture of his family changed. He was eventually forced by life to take up his grandfather's dream publication company, to save it from moving any closer to the ruinations. Navigating through women's hearts was a game of his left hand, but took an oath to not date anymore in the hope of taking a break before he settled for "the one." Until his eyes met hers.

Ira had promised to not trust people ever again, but she finds herself slipping bit by bit, every second she spends around him, while Aryan loses it sooner than he thought. But he doesn't know her story. And she is rigid enough to not let that guard crumble so soon. Would she be able to maintain her grumpy ulterior with Aryan being by her side?

Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-
