Jake has nothing to live for. It really would be better to end it all now. On the run, scared shitless, and completely alone in the world, it's like he's running into a brick wall.

Until, one night, sitting alone in a shitty bar, a group of strange men and a woman walk in. At first, Jake had the feeling that they were trouble. Which they were. But little did he know...

That was the chance meeting that would change his life forever.

In fact, it was sadly her purpose. Like most teenagers who have lost someone, Lucy fell into a less than preferred lifestyle. She had her troubles, like everyone else. But her problems were bigger than she thought, and led to a lot more anguish than she would have liked. See, living under the shadow of great expectations leaves a strain on your self-esteem. Going through a massive revelation could ruin your life and test your limits. The burning pain of sacrifice, loss and death should kill her. The gods saw something in Lucy for a reason, one she just needs to find through a tortuous journey with a bit of clawing, biting and changing. Love will blossom, relationships will be repaired, and her resilience will prevail. *Book one of The Legends*
