Raised in a poor household, Astoria has to continue a dull life.
Lucille, Astoria's mother, has told her stories since she was a baby.
These stories tell of great dragons, with magic.
They tell of the beings that exist outside of the kingdom of Centrusa.
The mages, the magic, the life Astoria doesn't live.
Astoria's father, Arne, works as a storekeeper.
He works at a bar, and spars with Astoria everyday after work, training to be a knight.
Their family is poor, but it's manageable.
Astoria wants it this way. It shouldn't change.
One day, everything changed.
War broke out.
Centrusa and Averlia have been battling for so long, but now there's a real war.
A war killing innocents.
Astoria feels it's up to her, to listen to her father and mother's great talents and stories.
And use them like her own.
And save Centrusa.
WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION
Griffin Tomlin is dead. And Clara's sister killed him . . .
Four months after the murder, the entire town of Shiloh is still in shock. For Clara Porterfield, the normal world has crumbled around her in a million chaotic pieces. Now Clara lives in a new reality, where her sister awaits trial for murder, her mother obsessively digs in a dead, frozen garden, and her father lives and breathes denial. At school, Clara is haunted by her classmates' morbid curiosity-and all of the unspoken questions they won't ask.
But none of them knows what she knows . . .
Now Clara's sister wants something from her-the one thing in all of this that Clara isn't ready to face: the truth about what really happened that night. Because this story didn't die with Griffin Tomlin. There's another story that needs to be told. And sometimes, the lies we're told are nowhere near as deadly as the lies we tell ourselves . . .
