Tagcomingofage murder mystery romance

"Alice, my dear, I didn't know you wanted to hold hands so much," he declared, and Alice's lips slowly curved into a smile at his insufferable attitude. "But I am more than happy to indulge in this." His fingers interlaced with hers at the words and squeezed her hand tightly. She sighed, rolling her eyes at his attitude but now, her smile was fixed in amusement on her face, and she blew out a sigh, squeezing his hand back in response. "You are insufferable, Theon," Alice muttered, although her tone lacked the bite her words had. __________________________________________ Born into an old-fashioned and vigorous childhood, Alice Kaiser finds solace in an unlikely friendship with a mischievous brown-eyed boy from the nearby rural village, Theon. Fatherless and torn at the seams, Alice spends her days lounging in the summer sun with him - until the pretences of her life all crash down unexpectedly as she turns seventeen. Her distant mother is murdered and Alice is the prime suspect. Evading her suspicious siblings and step-father, Alice struggles to seek out a safe haven to prove the truth behind the secretive nature of her mother's life and subsequent death. It unravels into truths that Alice had both expected and never would have guessed in her wildest dreams. Armed with little more than the lingering remnants of her father's love and the somewhat unsettlingly unwavering trust of Theon - very little can stop her, but like ever, life rarely goes to plan.

Dirty Hands- The City Of Whisperers

The last time Kaia saw her mother, she was nothing more than a pale shadow of the vibrant woman who had once been the heart of their kingdom. Her mother's breath came in shallow, labored gasps, the sickness claiming her slowly, piece by piece. But it was the words her mother spoke before her final breath that Kaia would carry with her forever. "The world is not as it seems, my love. Trust in yourself. Trust in the wind." Kaia didn't understand them then, but she would-soon enough. Her kingdom, once a land of magic and power, was falling apart. In the days before, the whispers had started. The sound of the earth, the wind, and the water; forces long ignored were now seen as a threat. Whisperers, beings like Kaia, who could bend the elements to their will, were hunted, sold, and killed like animals. But the true collapse of everything came after her mother's death. Her father, once a proud ruler, crumbled under the weight of his own guilt. And Kaia, filled with grief and rage, ran. She couldn't bear to stay any longer, not in the ashes of a kingdom that no longer cared for its people-or its whisperers. It was in her flight that she was taken. Abducted by the Rahibils, the hunters of the unspoken kind, who dealt in stolen souls. And in that dark, suffocating world of cages and chains, she met Reez-a stranger with eyes as sharp as the blade he wielded, and a heart hardened by the same cruel fate. They would be each other's strength in the days to come, as they plotted escape, and as Kaia learned the true meaning of freedom. But freedom, she would soon learn, came at a price higher than she could have ever imagined. The world was not as it seemed. She would find out soon enough just how deep the darkness went, and how far she was willing to go to uncover the truth. But only if she doesn't get herself killed first.
