Darkness rakes across me, all consuming.
Suspended in bitterness unending, my eyes stuck shut and a buzzing in my ears. Every atom of my being being torn apart and rebuilt. Someone is screaming.
And then I am running.
I don't know when my feet hit the ground.
I don't know why I'm running.
I don't know where I am.

All Faida Hawksworth wanted at seventeen was an adventure. Although as she will find out, nobody wants an adventure once they're forced face first into one. No matter how dull their lives usually are.
Join her as she faces off against monsters, pirates, crocodiles, and one irritatingly immature teenage boy. Laugh and cry as she journeys across the island that seems intent on watching her slowly bleed to death, cheer as she fights the manipulative but surprisingly youthful Lost King and his armies of brainwashed teenagers. Basically, prepare for one hell of a tale.
(Warning: this book contains dark themes, some swearing, death, gore, unicorns, a really creepy owl, hunting, manipulation, references, angst, love, romance, betrayal, lists, kissing, mermaids that are actually assbutts, terrible fashion choices, lists, repetition, drama, kidnapping.)
In which a boy who thinks he controls everything meets the girl who actually does.

Peter Pan is king of Neverland, a mystical island of his own creation. His Lost Boys serve as his troops and have been his only company for the last millennium.
Until his shadow brought a girl to Neverland, by the name of Wendy Darling.
But she's not the one this story's about.
Why? It's simple.
Because she's dead.
She broke Peter's heart, so he killed her.
Only he and the Lost Boys know what happened the night Wendy disappeared, and Peter means to take the secret to his grave, assuming he ever dies, of course. If the Lost Boys know what's good for them, they will too. None of the other creatures on the island have any idea of what became of the one girl who had ever set foot on Neverland.
However, what at first seems to be a siren with a know-it-all attitude threatens to change all that. She knows exactly why Peter's heart is shattered.
But what she wants to do with that information is, for the very first time, is absolutely unclear to Peter.
That doesn't sit well with the Ruler of Neverland.
And whatever doesn't sit well with Peter, he either figures it out or kills it.
The problem is, he can't seem to manage to do the first option, and for some reason, can't bring himself to do the second.
