In the heart of Velbret City, a place where dreams go to die, Nina Roads refused to let hers be buried. Growing up in the slums, she clawed her way to the top, becoming a high school volleyball legend and an outsider who defied every expectation.
But just when the world started to notice her, a devastating injury shattered her rising career. Overnight, the prodigy became a memory.
For a while, Nina gave up the court and herself. But when her father's dying wish reminded her of the promise she made, she couldn't stay down.
Now, she's stepping onto a new battlefield: Redside University, the only school willing to take a chance on her tainted name. Surrounded by rivals, skeptics, and her own doubts, Nina will have to fight through the pain, reclaim her spirit, and prove she's more than just a fallen star.
To rise again, she'll need more than talent; she'll need heart, grit, and one more point.

"I call this one pain. And this lil one right here under his wing is suffering." "No offense, but...who the hell would wanna be reminded of pain and Suffering? If I was going to get something etched into my skin forever, I'd want something that would bring me joy." His grin bemused her. As if he expected her to contradict his moral logic. "True that, shorty. And I agree, no doubt. But who's to say my birds don't bring me joy?" Dumbfounded, Jett lifted her eyes from the silhouetted birds up to meet his tender gaze, stumped on how to answer his question. She shrugged with one arm, "Do they?" * * * Jett Jaletta has enough of her own problems. Unreliable family members that depend on her for everything, too many bills with not enough income. And a federal probation sentence that's held her hostage for the past three years. The last thing she needs is the drama that comes along with a handsome face, drama that could jeopardize everything she's working for - a liberating dance career. But Roman Carter isn't liable for the damage caused by his blessed good genes. As a matter of fact, his alluring appearance and its effect on the opposite sex is the furthest on his list of priorities. The recent murder of his only brother has left him unfocused, indignant, and irrevocably heartbroken. Well, he is focused on one thing...retribution. BlackBiirds is the intertwining story of two characters-who's deepest pains and struggles happen to be caused by the other person. Ironically, surrounding situations, dangerous rivals, and even their own family members cause these two to become tangled in ways they can't escape from. * * * BLACKBiiRDS is the rewritten, reworked 2.0 version of its former draft: Souled Out.Complete
