Rickard Lynch is an rookie undercover police officer tasked to investigate a very possible terrorist attack that could happen in the future. He is smart, thinking first, and shooting second. But that's where his virtues end. His reckless nature and temper have earned him distinction amongst his colleagues. And he has a past that is enough to get him transferred from one branch to another.

But sometimes the past comes to bite one back. Rickard's past included gang relations with a gang named 'the Hounds'. A past which Rickard must now embrace, no matter how much he hates it, so that he can scour the underworld for clues to the terror cells.

Can he uncover the threat in time? Or will he succumb to his past?

"And if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes back."

As a clairvoyant, I wield a rare gift to communicate with spirits abandoned to wander in search of liberation from the lives they once belonged to. A gift I must use to find answers after being condemned for my mother's mysterious murder with the assistance of a lost soul, having latched herself to mine. When my estranged father demands me to enroll in the prestigious academy he once attended, Raven Oak Prep, we learn there are secrets hidden within its beautiful walls and paved with bad intentions. Secrets someone wants me to find. Seeking the truth proves difficult when the Student Council marks me as the enemy. Four beautifully, shattered boys hiding behind their masks to play out my brother's revenge in retribution for my mother's untimely demise.

I'd recommend you not to judge or come to a conclusion just on the basis of the first book. The story of RAGHAV and SIA ( my protagonists) get a twist in the first, followed by in the second, then in the third book respectively. We're all bad in someone's story ~anonymous Raghav Chaudhari and Sia Mathur, the top two corporate law students of the advanced batch, had fallen in love with their hate right from the first day of Freshman year. But nobody knows the reason behind their unmistakable rivalry. Not even their circle of friends that they reluctantly share. The only thing that stops them from murdering each other is the respect for their profession. Now, the final year's fest and their frustrated friends make them compromise into being "friends till the fest." Accepting the pact forced upon them, they start spending time together, they discover how their families are related and slowly the domino of lies and dirty games starts falling down one by one. But this is only the beginning of their royally fuckedup lives together. IT'S A TWISTED FAIRYTALE! Grab your seatbelts and get ready to set on a journey of how two strangers fell in love with their hate for each other. Initially, this may come off as a typical badboy romance but as you read more of the trilogy, you'll see that there's so much more than what you're thinking at this moment. I wish I could tell you everything that's stored in my books to make you thrilled but I can't because there's literally so much more to tell. So please be patient enough while reading and let's meet at the end of the trilogy. I'm hoping to see you there ;) DO NOT COPY ANY PART OF THE BOOK ❌ STRICTLY PROHIBITED!
