Defying the papacy in Cole Lutherford's world earns an immediate death sentence. As Cole attends the execution of poet Rupert Eastlake, he muses over the first time he met this man and begins to see just how unjust his impending death is. Yet, to admit there is something wrong with the papacy itself would put him in great peril.
Even though Rupert's death is imminent, Cole battles with his morals: should he speak out against the papacy and find himself beneath the blade, or should he remain silent and let the papacy continue its dystopian reign?

*This story has some dark themes and may cause triggers. Viewer's discretion is advised* Seventeen-year-old Adrien Horn is a Junior in high school. He loves to study mythical creatures and acts like any normal kid would. There's just one little problem: for three years he's been keeping quiet about a sin his father's been committing. Without saying a word about it, Adrien has managed to keep his sanity in tack with an outer shell he's created to prevent others from seeing what he's hiding inside. But when bullies at school find marks on his back, Adrien's outer shell shatters and sends the boy into a chaotic frenzy of his true self: a boy with a dark mind who lacks feelings for love, is haunted by everything his father has done, and seems to be broken beyond repair. He is even driven to commit murder, several murders. No one thinks he can be helped, except for one man. . . . Sebastian Belmont is a French billionaire with a mysterious past. He is searching for 'The Child'; a boy who's only purpose is to die upon an altar, before a few sworn enemies find him first. But Sebastian doesn't have many years to live and time is running out. Days before a business acquaintance of his is attacked, Sebastian encounters Adrien a few times and notices the sudden change in his attitude. Mr. Belmont knows that there's something wrong and plans to get to the heart of it, but choices have consequences and picking between finding 'The Child' or helping Adrien will surely stir up a few sour patches along the way. Things may get chaotic, but no one said it would be easy.Complete

As the two of them begin to dismantle the empire brick by brick, Cara finds herself pulling at loose strings tying the pieces of the missing puzzles connecting her past to her present. Strings, she soon realises, had been buried by the hands of someone desperately trying to keep her from finding out the truth. A truth that might just break her.

The devil whose icy, blue eyes never fail to see through every shield and every shadow she'd built around her heart, the very shadows that seem to calm within his presence.
