Sᴇǫᴜᴇʟ ᴛᴏ 'Aʟʟɪᴀɴᴄᴇ' 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 '𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆' 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 The stars give comfort, but if one knows how to read them, they may spell disaster and ruination. In the midst of personal tragedy and conflict, darkness spreads over the land and into the hearts of people. Death beckons, as does lust, and wonders never cease. The allure of the unknown casts its net over all prey, and past pain never fades, which the Heirs learn, over and over again, even as fresh aches form. Happiness and prosperity are both fleeting and flickering. Fleeting, like lovers disappearing into the dead of night. Flickering, like a candle flame, snuffed out just as a man's breath. King James tries his best, Princess Selene fights to be important, and Princess Seraphina struggles to be free. What happens as the Golden Age ends, and the Dark Age begins?

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez.
