BOOK THREE
The world was thrown into chaos the moment Carter lost his step mother. He just didn't realize it until it was too late. The war ravaged the world he lived in, destroying society and ruining more lives than he would ever be able to count, and he, though he always tried to ignore the fact, was the reason it happened.
Demi always assumed he was the one who broke the world, Bay liked to brag that it was him, but fleshing it down to the marrow of this broken world, tearing back the layers to the very beginning, Carter knew. He knew he started this. And he knew he was the one who needed to end it.
With unlikely companions at his side, people labelled as both enemy and friend fighting with him, Carter will fight literally everything he's ever known, everything he once believed in, to finally end this for once and for all.
Because even the most cruel, the most malicious of people, were innocent when they were young, and sometimes... sometimes reminding them of that innocence is exactly what is needed to purify their evil.

READ THESE IN ORDER.
TRIPLET THREE: THE DEFAMED TRIPLET
CAMERON WINDSOR:
Eight years ago, I lost everything.
The love of my life. My brothers. My sanity.
Asher Adair is the love of my life. That's right, he still is. He always will be. But because I told a lie that I didn't realize was a lie at the time, he can't even look at me. I don't blame him. I haven't righted my lie. I didn't know how.
The story goes: I cheated on him.
But I didn't. I only thought I did.
I didn't remember that night. I remembered waking up with no recollection-next to someone I didn't recognize, and without any clothes.
I rushed to tell Asher, to apologize, and tell him that I didn't remember, but he rightfully ended our relationship. But it doesn't stop there. As I went to drag myself to talk to my brothers, I received an email.
That email started it all.
A video of my assault was used against me as blackmail to get things from me.
Now, he's been arrested. I'm trying to heal from my demons. But I have to wonder if telling Asher the truth would be worth it. I'm damaged. It's been too long. I can't go back and change that day. I can't go back and tell myself to run back to Asher with the truth.
I only have now.
And when he finds out, he starts making it impossible to stay away.
Because he helps me remember who I used to be, and who I still can be.
ASHER ADAIR:
Eight years ago, on the morning I find out that my company has garnered interest because of a very popular YouTuber promoted my game-the love of my life told me he cheated on me.
We had a future.
A plan.
And it all went down the drain.
I never understood what I did wrong to the point I didn't even want to know. I was happy to be on my own.
Or, so I thought.
Then my entire world comes crashing down. Everything I thought was true, suddenly wasn't anymore.
