FIRE

As I looked into his eyes, I knew I should hate him. He looked at me as if I were the only thing he had ever wanted. As if the world began and ended with me. He had given me every reason to hate him. Maybe he did it to keep me away. For a good reason too.

And yet... I couldn't.

The truth settled deep, dark, and irreversible. Before I could resist it, my heart had already turned against me. He was the one person I was never meant to fall for. And still, I wanted him. I wanted him even if it cost me every drop of blood in my body.

And I would pay...in this world, everyone paid for love in blood.

###############################################################################

I was ordinary. Forgettable.

Just another girl trying to survive school, dreaming about art school and a life that actually felt like mine.

Until the ocean took me.

Eleven thousand feet beneath the surface, I should have died.
Instead, I woke up in a kingdom that was never meant to exist.

They called me Princess.

But crowns here aren't gifts-they're death sentences.

Ancient creatures are waking.
Old rivalries are burning back to life.
And a war between legendary beings is about to begin.

For some reason... it all leads back to me.

Now everyone is watching.
Some want to control me.
Some want to destroy me.

And somehow, in the middle of it all, I fell for the one person who could ruin everything.

Because the deeper I sink into this world, the more I realize-

I was never ordinary.

And the truth about who I really am might destroy us all.
