Clove lived a life of luxury, hidden away in her brother's castle, shielded from the world. Though everything she could ever want was at her fingertips, she yearned for something more-a glimpse of the world outside, a life beyond the walls that kept her confined. Her brother, a feared and powerful man, believed she was too innocent for the dangers beyond their home and kept her sheltered from everything.
When her brother left on a journey, Clove saw an opportunity to escape. But her fleeting freedom quickly turned into a nightmare, as she found herself in a dark and unfamiliar city, where danger lurked at every corner. Amidst the chaos, a stranger appeared-a boy whose true intentions were unclear. Can she trust him, or has she walked right into the hands of a greater threat?

Broken Shell Of Hope
Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I don't want anything that you see in every story ever.Complete
