Autumn September Penwillow.
It’s a name everybody knows, loves, and respects. It’s the name of a beautiful princess, the face of the kingdom; the sweet, kind, and caring girl that’s intelligent as well as pretty.
But that’s just a mask.
Autumn “Asp” Penwillow has never been the princess type. She loves books, sweatpants, and imaginary worlds, in contrast to the dresses, makeup, and politics that she’s supposed to enjoy. But she doesn’t let anyone know that. She puts on the act that everyone wants to see, and they believe it.
All except for Jordan. He sees right through her.
But Asp’s life, along with her secrets, are thrown into turmoil when the rebels come. Suddenly she has to deal with an arranged marriage she doesn’t want, constant attacks on the kingdom, and the struggle of keeping her relationship with Jordan hidden, just to name a few. But unlikely friendships and alliances arise in unusual places, and they’re all that keeps Asp together.
In the end, however, it’s love that triumphs all. It always is.
Avalyn has always been good at running; it's what she does best. But when fate offers her a chance to break free from the shackles of her past, she doesn't just sprint away, she charges headlong into the unknown, ready to face whatever challenges await. Fueled by an unwavering determination, Avalyn embarks on a relentless pursuit to find and hold those accountable for their misdeeds. Amidst the darkness, she discovers individuals worthy of being saved. With her enigmatic history both pushing her onward and haunting her every move, she remains resolute in her mission to purify the world of those deemed unworthy of existence. Yet, she doesn't tread this path alone; her past demons refuse to let her stray too far. And perhaps, that's just fine. After all, where's the thrill in running if there's no chance of being caught?
"Dirt-clouded vision and earth-filled lungs. Every breath devoid of air. Every bone crushed by the weight of the world. My fingers fought to free me, and when I made it to the top, it wasn't relief I felt."
