On the exterior, twins Acelyn and Brooklyn Smith seem like normal teenage girls, but in actuality, they are far from. Normalcy is crushed in a mere few seconds as they narrowly manage to escape their demise; having a set destination, the twins run away to their old family vacation house.
They never anticipated the knock on the door, nor what they were getting into.
Their life only gets curiouser and curiouser as they begin to learn of a prophecy— a prophecy that entails twins cast out of their homeland and down to earth as infants to be safe while their home was at war.
As their eighteenth birthday nears, Brooklyn and Acelyn start to notice they share shocking parallels with the myth foretold, but could that just be coincidence? In a matter of weeks, their lives take an even more dramatic twist for the dark.
The prophecy rings true; with indecision, love, and lies, they set out upon a perilous journey to save their lives, their people, and their world. But can they really be sure of their judgement? When lines are crossed, truths are blurred, and morality has different meaning, it begins to complicate things.
After all, you can never become truly holy unless you have the opportunity to be definitively wicked.

Putrid Flesh
TW: **!!suicidal ideations!!** + gore + non-denominational religious connotations that lean toward Catholic/Christian All Frank really wants it to be six feet below ground, peacefully decaying into the soil, instead of whatever investigative work she's doing with her unlisenced detective acquaintence Caroline. The sixteen-year-old insists there's some supernatural cult activity going on in their little town of Wroughtwood, and Frank is in no position to deny her; not when they both have strange powers, and not when Frank is unwilling to do any research for herself due to sheer disinterest. However, when Frank discovers that these strange powers may render her immortal, she has no choice but to go on a quest through the dreary and unwelcoming town of Wroughtwood to discover how to kill herself and the alleged cult members. Although the journey remains within the two square miles of Wroughtwood, Frank and Caroline's investigation reveals cannibals, prophecies, a slew of terribly flawed and scorned townsfolk, and, of course, the apocalypse. Hopefully Frank will get her happy ending, whatever it ends up being.
