ππππππππ πππππ
πππππ ππππππ is your average do-good lawyer on the rise to fame as a representative of young victims. Except her motivations aren't all that innocent. Rayne's only goal is to run from her past, to leave confrontation for the courtroom, no matter who or what that hurts. The task once easy soon becomes hard when an unlikely ally shows up with the truth about her twin brother. ππππππ ππππππ is the Spanish mafia heir, at least, in name. Four years ago, he sat helplessly as his younger sister was snatched from his front lawn, and again when his best friend was taken months later. Up until now, he's been searching on his own. But there are new players involved; new distractions. The time for waiting is over: he needs an ally. Each fighting for a different reason, each holding onto closeted history, will the alliance prove to be worth it in the end? Or will all of their fears metastasize into something greater? πππππ πππππππ is a classic jokester, hiding his personality and altruism behind false excitement and distracted ironies. With a broken child living inside of him, he finds life easier to manage so long as he keeps up appearances by entertaining a semi-toxic relationship with Blake Ruiz. Happiness is a virtue he can afford to scorn, that is, until everything he's ever craved steals his mind with dark blue Converse and black nail polish. πππ πππππΓπ, apathetic at best, shields his vulnerability with pride, ego, and a few too many Jack and Cokes. Men constantly fall into his trap, but when Mason makes the same mistake, things suddenly change. Traumatized from childhood, jeered by a complex he can't seem to quit, he clings to this new person. Steered by unhealed wounds, they find themselves wrapped in one another. Whoever said you needed water to drown when love is hastily included? β€· MULTIPLE MCS COVER: _NAVYBLUEEE_Complete
Mirai, the Witch of Sight
Mirai comes from a long line of witches who have been particularly gifted in using their inner sight. As such, she's trained her sight from a young age. She's always been a disappointment, however, as the only thing she's ever been able to see is the vague image of a girl. On her 18th birthday, Mirai discovers a mark on the back of her neck displaying the number thirty. From her first proper vision, she deduces that unless she finds the girl before the number reaches zero, both of them will die. Only being able to depend on her less than mediocre skills in seeing the future, Mirai sets out to find the girl before the time is up. Little does she know of the trauma the girl has suffered, nor that finding her is only the beginning. ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence, suicide (happens in the prologue while POV-character has her back turned), rape (happens in chapter 30 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fade to black, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), violent death of babies, some rather bloody scenes, self-harm, extreme guilt. Note that a major part of this story focus on healing from and learning to live with trauma, so though you could potentially read it but skip some specific parts, if you're not comfortable reading something that deals with the listed topics, then this book won't be for you. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (completed) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love (ongoing)Complete
