“It’s weird how we all look forward to something we know nothing about. We trust the future holds something great, when trust is something that must be earned, not given. Yet, for many the past, which was once the future, was not so great, so why look forward to what we don’t know?
I guess the answer is, without the unknown, we don’t exist, and nothing would exist if we knew what was going to happen.
Fate and free will, a team joined by destiny. I guess certain things in our life are supposed to happen, what we learn from it, is all up to us.”


Serafina; a teenager going through the trials for high school just like any other. Until, one day her father gives her some news she didn’t want to hear. Little did she know being sent across the country to an all-boys boarding school would shape her future and change the world she thought she knew.

Shortly after departing, her parents fall off the map. They are unreachable and Serafina has no idea where they’ve gone.
She meets Emery. The most insanely attractive man, but the most insane pain in the ass. 
Together they are tossed into a war that’s been raging since before Serafina’s grandmother was born. 
Their ties are tested, their courage is tried and their own lives are in jeopardy.
As they embark on their journey, they find out things about themselves that they didn’t know. Serafina learns about soul mates and eternal love, as she tames the huge ego of Emery, royalty.
Fate is not just a word. It is a way of life for these two as they and their group of friends try to stop impending destruction and the reign of evil. With the help of a few good friends; Serafina’s strength is tested, her love is judged, and ancient truths are revealed, will Serafina make it out alive? Or will the ones she love die a long the way?

"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her. She lives alone at her family home and has top grades in all of her classes. But being a 17 year old friendless nerd comes with its disadvantages.
