The late autumn of 1770, in a town surrounded by cornfields and a dark green forest, with a castle sitting on top of the nearest hill, watching over the inhabitants of the village with an intimidating presence. But not everything is as peaceful as it seems.
A few harmless appearing individuals are leading a crime-governed life. James Ansley and Rebecca Aberforth amongst those that prefer an adrenaline filled life over one adorned by faith and holy spirits. Together with their group they spend long nights plotting how to rid the rich of some of their heavy wealth. When a young man appears in James' life, bringing much more trouble with him than anyone would like, James willpower is going to be put to the test.
Opposite of those barbaric living criminals is the wealthy youth of the current generation. Acklin Haleway, youngest member of a rich family of merchants, has just become of age and - very aware of his preferences - might find himself confront with what people call: A bond bound to break.
And what will happen if those completely opposite yet somehow overlapping lives begin to spiral in a way no one could foresee?

A story in which everything that could go wrong, does go wrong. "Got any sevens?" He softly asked, his gaze on me as he waited for my reply. Ignoring the temptation to meet his captivating green eyes, I puckered my lips as I focused my stare on the cards in my hand. "Go fish." There was a tense pause. I sensed his movements beside me as he bypassed the cards on the ground. I looked up to question him, but the words got caught in my throat. I gasped taking in the features of his face that was now inches away from mine. I had never noticed the few specks of gold in his green eyes before. My heart raced as his gaze flicked to my lips and back to my eyes. Then, without hesitation, his lips were on mine and my brain turned to mush.

As such, it is very unedited! I am leaving it up because it was my first book on Wattpad, and came straight from my heart. I don't really plan on editing it so I am sorry if you notice any errors/holes/mistakes, but hope you can enjoy it in its very rough and unpolished form nonetheless :-)Complete
