Shatter: A Jonah Clemence x MC Romance (Ikemen Revolution)
Having fallen into Cradle merely two months ago from my hometown in London, I decide to continue living my life within the confines of the Black Army Castle - a luxury I enjoy because I've been able to get away from the drawling, routine life I lived back in the Land of Reason. I make friends with the lieutenants, including the King and his second in command troops - one of which, is a Clemence. Though the name seems ordinary, I discover that it's anything but the sort. That both Luka and Jonah Clemence, brothers who vouch for the Black and Red Armies respectively, are considered divine royalty in Cradle, and that their lineage precedes them to be one of the most grand reputations in all the land. But with such a profound influence, comes dangerous and devastating consequences. Jonah and I, by means of coincidence, become closer and closer, and our fates intertwine, along with our hearts. All of a sudden, I am no longer just a regular girl who fell into Cradle. Instead, I am an omen, a woman who becomes hunted by the very lineage that Jonah and Luka desperately wish they could defect from.Complete
