To Love A Storm - Billy Hargrove

They trained her to obey. They drugged her to weaken. They numbered her to erase her. 009 was never meant to survive Hawkins Lab, let alone escape it. Saved by 008 and hidden from the world, she grew up running from the past that wanted to cage her, a power she barely understood, and a destiny she never asked for.

Years later, Hawkins drags her back. And with it comes Billy Hargrove. All sharp edges, anger, and armour made of pain. A hurricane in denim and cigarette smoke. The one person who sees the fire in her instead of the fracture lines.

She is a secret the government wants back. He is a boy the darkness wants to claim. And when the Upside Down rises, she unleashes the power they buried inside her. She thought she was broken. She was really a weapon. Some monsters come from other worlds. Others are born in this one.
