"In a world ruled by power and tyranny, peace is a distant dream. You were once a child, innocent and new to life, yet someone ignited the flames of destruction, suffocating your breath and stealing away the purity of your air. All that remained were fleeting drops of water and the faintest hope that the fires would one day cease. Perhaps you were gifted, your powers beyond what was ever expected, but power isn't just strength-it's a threat. Years passed, and you grew to despise everyone and everything. In rage and vengeance, you found a twisted kind of salvation. Amidst the chaos, you found home with someone you've picked up while desperately trying to escape the chains of fate. And though agony shaped my path, I never wavered from my purpose. Through hell and blood, I built my name and wealth, offering others a chance for redemption, for lives once broken like my own. Now, after all this time, I've prepared to fulfill the final task of my life. Many will weep, blood will stain the earth, but certainly, they will pay for stealing my childhood. - Anastas
Blossom: Flawed Humans Vol. 1
Evolution has taken a shift in the human genome; instead of people walking around like normal humans, everyone is born with the ability to gain extraordinary powers once they reach a certain age in their lives. The age at which they gain these abilities determines the strength of these powers, with those gaining them at the earliest stage of life being called "Bloomers," and people who either do not have them yet or awaken them later on in life being called "Late Bloomers." Society has found a way to work around this evolution, but it functions somewhat differently from our own. With slight differences as the America east coast joined together into one "superstate,". The story follows Sasha McCrory, a late bloomer from the more rural part of what was once Virginia, in her senior year at one of the most violent high schools in the country. We follow her and her friends as they navigate through their final year at the notorious Blackwell High School. At the same time, we dive into their mental struggles, find out about the strange semi-dystopia they live in, and dive into themes such as rediscovering optimism from a pessimistic mindset and rehabilitation.

But when she goes on a trip with her two best friends, and a stranger saves her from a handsy blond, she finds out there is at least one more person with dark hair and different eyes. He tells her that his whole family has hair like his, and she begins to doubt whether her family actually has her best interest in mind, or if a long forgotten memory that involves guns and light-haired strangers more accurately represents their intentions.Complete
