Noir

Someone once said, "this too shall pass", but You. Will. Never. Pass.
I won't let you. I can't
Let you go.
I still need you. I can't
Let you go.

Love triangles, ambition, death, power, tragedies.
What will Seraphina risk to rule the world and to rid herself of the emptiness that has haunted her ever since the loss of .... him?

In a post-World War III dystopian society, Seraphina is a poor, ambitious, beautiful, extremely intelligent, and adored, seventeen-year old, with aspirations for greatness. Taught about the ancient Greeks, Romans, and powerful leaders throughout history by her grandfather, she had her heart set on becoming the world's next Cleopatra.

It turned out that the world wanted that too, because it caused a series of tragedies that hardened, emboldened, and strengthened her. She hated it - but everything happens for a reason. The loss of one love allowed for the love of another kind to enter. As she let Faust love her. Repair her. Follow her to Noir, the emerald of Ellis Island: the hardest circle to enter in the country.
The capital of the seven Rings of Emerald States is home to only the ultra-rich, extremely important, the current and future rulers of the world.
Getting accepted into Ellis Island is impossible for Seraphina, whose home lies near the capital of the sixth circle, which also happens to be the sixth poorest ring to live in out of the seven.
But where there's a will there's a way.
Seraphina will literally sell herself to get to Noir, and Faust, her childhood love, will pretend to be her bodyguard just to get the chance to stay with her.
Because he still loves her.
Because he can't let her go.
But will he have an alternative when Seraphina catches the eye of Aemiliano, the heir of the United Emerald Rings?
