In a world ruled by ancient legacies, the Campbells and Thorntons have been at odds for generations, their rivalry seeping into every facet of their lives. Cristine Campbell has always followed the path laid out by her powerful family, but when a mysterious hum begins haunting her and shadows start creeping into her mind, her world unravels. As tensions between the families escalate, the possibility of a divided country looms, and Cristine finds herself drawn to Trent Thornton-the one person she shouldn't trust. Their forbidden connection is more than just an act of rebellion; it's tied to the very heart of the feud that could tear their families apart. But there's more at play than political power struggles. The shadows and the hum are growing stronger, and they seem to be guiding Cristine toward a destiny she never imagined. As she struggles to piece together the truth behind her family's legacy and the source of her strange visions, Cristine must decide where her loyalties lie-within the safety of her family's control, or with the dangerous allure of Trent and the secrets that could endanger them all. In this high-stakes tale of love, betrayal, and supernatural forces, Cristine will discover that the line between loyalty and fate is thinner than she ever thought. -- Hi guys the reason I wanted to write this book and finish it recently was because although there are many fantastic books I've read on here, I don't think it's easy for me to find a story that's got romance with no smut AND also a plot. Like the plot is always the romance and smut and i honestly have always craved a book with an actual plot and then a romantic little bit of it. Of course there are many books out there like this, however, I feel like I've read them all so many times and there's nothing left for me to read. The goal is to finish the book by 01/11/2024 I truly hope this finds its target audience - others like me - and you guys enjoy it. Thank you , Mtchi
