"Life is like a game of chess - be wise and careful in deciding who you choose to lose because even a pawn can turn into a queen at the end."

Serenity has lived as a pawn in the war that plagues her kingdom, slaving her life away to create weapons for the kingdom after her father died fighting in the war. When Serenity accidentally saves the weak prince of the rival kingdom, she becomes an important pawn, as the rivals trust her with her life-saving powers, and her kingdom has realized her worth and wants her to be a spy for them.
In the game of life, Serenity is a pawn that can change everything.

Shatter Me
Meet Serenity. She lives a life full of fear; afraid to hand her trust over to a single soul. She's been hurt so many times, she feels as if one crack would shatter her world. So she keeps herself locked inside her own her own little world, not letting anyone in. But what if one guy can change her outlook on life with just a few words? When a guy unexpectedly stumbles into her life without her even trying, she's amazed at the way he stands out to her. He somehow makes her feel good inside -- something she hasn't felt in years. In fear, she tries to push him out of her life but instead finds herself feeling safer around him. Maybe what Serenity needs is to be shattered after all. Maybe instead of breaking her, it just turns out to be a breakthrough. Maybe a shattered world is actually a way of letting people, who you don't realize how much you need, into your life. **Complete

But as they draw me into their enchanted world, they tell me I'm the only one who can save them from their curse. I only hope my heart is prepared for what's to come.
