Thora has always been the kind of person who wears her heart on her sleeve - funny, caring, with a heart big enough to embrace the world. But after a heartbreak that still haunts her, the idea of falling in love again scares her more than going to the doctors by herself. On the outside she's a ball of sunshine and sarcasm, on the inside she suffers from a darkness she sometimes can't explain.

Navigating life alongside her best friend Willow, Thora finds solace in unexpected places, including the new friends she meets along the way.

Thora discovers that healing isn't a linear path. It's a journey of laughter and tears, of small victories and big setbacks, of trying to find the light in the ever-consuming darkness. Ultimately, it's a story of a girl learning to trust herself again, to open her heart despite the scars of the past, and to believe in the possibility of love once more.

This is Thora's story - a girl trying to master 'the art of life'.

I Loved You Blindly [Complete] by Water_Lili

'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

Living with Rebecca's childhood friend, a new world filled with love, excitement, and friendship opens up for both of them. For everybody who also dreams of a fairy tale and won't care if the "knights" were a little dirty.
