[Side Story in the Shade Series] [Takes Place Before Storyline]
Before heroes, there was blood. Before fate, there was survival.
Scyllena's quiet life in the mountain village shatters when a brutal Helriox raid leaves her home in ruins and her family missing. Fleeing through frozen forests and snow-covered plains, she clings to life with nothing but sheer will and desperate hope.
When she is found, half-frozen and covered in blood, salvation comes from an unexpected source - the Nimor, fierce beings of legend who walk the razor's edge between saviors and predators. Thrust into their dangerous world, Scyllena must navigate uneasy alliances, unravel buried truths, and confront the haunting question: what happened to her brother?
As whispers of war and ancient magic spread across Emäel, Scyllena's journey for answers becomes a battle for survival - and a destiny far greater than she could have ever imagined. Before the rise of heroes, before the tales of empires and rebellions, begins the story of a girl carved from loss and forged in fire.
Her blood runs red, but her story runs deeper.

Ethan's standing on Highland Bridge at midnight, ready to end it all, when a girl appears out of nowhere with ice cream and zero intention of leaving him alone. Riley's either an angel or completely crazy - he hasn't decided which. But her offer is simple: give her until her birthday, just two months away, to prove life is worth something. After that, whatever he decides is up to him. He expects nothing. Instead, he gets midnight drives and way too many milkshakes. Gets random star quotes she's memorized just to make him roll his eyes. Gets stupid jokes that somehow make him laugh when he swore he'd forgotten how. But the closer they get, the more he sees through her smile to the shadows underneath. And as her birthday approaches, Ethan realizes keeping Riley alive might be the only thing worth living for.Complete
Guardian, Chapters 1-5
Sarae is the Lieutenant General of the Heavenly Army, handpicked by the Archangel Michael to be a guardian. Her ward is Ahreyal, the only child born to an archangel and the most powerful of the yarondi species. For twenty-two years, Ahreyal is successfully hidden among humans, but the respite is over. Azazel, a fallen angel who declared war against the Heavens and humanity, has found her. Forced to reveal the secrets she's kept hidden for Ahreyal's protection, Sarae must teach Ahreyal the truth about herself, and help her to unlock her angelic abilities. She has no time for love or her personal feelings. Christopher has loved Sarae since the first moment he saw her, in the Heavens. For centuries, he served at her side in the Heavenly Army, protecting her as she protected others. This time is different; his ability to sense danger tells him an unknown enemy is lurking in the shadows - it wants Sarae dead. Now, Christopher has his own mission: protect the angel he's loved for centuries and convince her to stop fighting her feelings long enough to fall in love. **To purchase Guardian, click the link below** https://www.amazon.com/Guardian-Yarondi-Book-Yakiri-Truth-ebook/dp/B0756K3T77/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504624446&sr=8-1&keywords=guardian+yakiri+truthComplete

This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction.

The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete![𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗥𝗦ᶠᵃⁿᶠⁱᶜᵗⁱᵒⁿ 一 𝔅𝔩𝔞𝔷𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔱 [𝟑]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/349357529-256-k332277.jpg)

Finding Obsidian
He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me. I saw my entranced gaze reflected in his glaring one. "Tell me what you see." I kept on looking at him, searching for something, anything, that remained of the person he used to be. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me. He pulled away, leaving me feeling cold. "Exactly. You see nothing - that's because there's nothing there." ** How much can a person change in just three years?
