We all take flight. She just did earlier.
✰✰✰
In a broken kingdom, a 16-year old girl named Aribella Thompson (and Oryx Selv, a 17-year old boy, but he's not that important) is running for her life. She can't stop, more like she won't, from the creatures that lurk in the shadows, waiting to strike, and kill. The Xortz, the people call them. Their reign is endless, their power unstoppable. But when another kingdom declares war on this broken one, trying to end the Xortz's reign once in for all and free the people trapped under their reign, Aribella's fate is tangled in the plan to stop the Xortz, even if she likes it or not.
Echo Selv, ordinary, plain, nothing much to him, but he might as well be the Xortz Empress. He's much more than he seems...

Cassalyn Diao is used to making enemies of all kinds, but none have ever come close to truly hurting her. So when she stumbles upon a plot that could set her nation back by years, she runs to her old allies at the Arecian Secret Service for aid.
Marcus Dalton has been looking for Cass since their last disastrous last encounter years ago, but he didn't expect their next meeting to begin with her passing out bleeding on his front doorsteps. But he'll take the chance to reconcile with her and try to put their past behind them.
It won't be easy, though, with their cunning enemy seeking ways to silence Cass and her own refusal to let anyone in again. The two will have to work together against the ticking clock to survive this game of cat-and-mouse and come out with both their hearts and heads intact.
