Sent against her will to an isolated boarding school in the heart of the Canadian mountains, Emma finds herself confronted with an environment as wild as it is unfamiliar. Between the shock of being uprooted, the challenges of communal living, and the trials imposed by Blue Mountain, she must face her deepest fears.
In this majestic setting, where nature asserts its silence and power, Emma discovers unexpected friendships, marked rivalries, and a delicate balance between freedom and vulnerability. Yet behind this quest for resilience lies a more intimate truth: the battle against her own demons, in an initiatory journey of solitude and self-transcendence.
Through breathtaking landscapes and a cast of endearing characters, Against Fear invites readers to explore the inner strength that lies dormant within us all.

Three college students decide to escape from their studies and city hustle for a weekend, choosing a secluded forest hike. Lina - a future medical professional with a responsible character, Bella - an ambitious tech girl with a sharp tongue, and Edie - a principled journalism student with a strong sense of justice. They thought of everything: a tent, thermoses, barbecue... and wine, secretly packed by one of the friends. But what happens when an innocent game of "Truth or Dare" goes too far? A random task from the app becomes the trigger that reveals feelings the girls had carefully hidden from each other. Behind the facade of bravado and teasing, unacknowledged desires had been lurking all this time. One night under the stars, the reflections of the campfire and the twinkling of fairy lights in the tent - and the familiar boundaries of friendship are completely erased, giving way to something much deeper and more revealing. An honest story about how a spontaneous adventure can forever change the relationship between three girls, revealing secrets they themselves weren't aware of. For adult audiences only.

Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete
