Evelyn Daili knew she had to stop running from her fears. They were tearing her apart, leaving her weak and fragile. Every week, she was forced to enter the Sinner, the room in which all her feelings and fears, secrets and confessions, were released from inside. Evelyn hated the Sinner. What used to be private was now apart of whoever else was in the room. It was too much. She didn't want to open up to everyone. On June 4th, the day of Advancement, Evelyn receives her Key of Thought. Finally, she could lock herself up and never give away what was inside of her. The Sinner was no longer a requirement for her. Evelyn Daili could be free at last. But Evelyn's key is silver. Not gold like the rest. When she inquires the leader of Advancement, a wave of silence hits the crowd. While everyone had received a key of freedom, Evelyn had received a key of slavery. Join Evelyn Daili in The Girl with the Silver Key by Eve Sparks as she faces her fears and unlocks the truth about herself.

***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" "You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me." So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first. Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship. The number of people allowed to know he exists is few. He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners. She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him. She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see. A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first. A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story. It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking. Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel. Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!
