After the fight, everyone picked a side.
Haley lost her best friend in a moment that keeps replaying, no matter how hard she tries to move on. The girl everyone called "difficult" isn't here to defend herself anymore, and Haley is expected to grieve quietly, quickly, and without asking any questions.
Adri didn't kill anybody. She just dated the boy who did. But now people look at her like violence is contagious, and even the person she trusts the most isn't sure she deserves forgiveness.
Neither wants anything to do with the other, but they're dragged together by the weight of the worst day of their lives. And while they can't see it yet, they're circling the same question: How do you keep going when survival isn't pretty?

Too easy to set aside when a better-bred woman arrived with a prettier smile and a stronger bloodline. Then Ronan took off my wedding ring, and something ancient woke beneath my skin. By sunrise, the dragons were searching for me. By the next blood moon, the kingdoms that mocked me would kneel. Ronan thought he was divorcing a powerless wife.

Fragments of Us
The last time Adrian looked at Elara, he called her a snake and walked away. Two years later, fate put them in the same university. Same lecture hall. Same row. He looks at her like she's nothing.

And Elara, who has spent two years becoming someone who doesn't make cowardly choices, decides to find out what he means. What follows is not a simple love story. It is two people carrying the weight of who they were, trying carefully, honestly, imperfectly to figure out who they want to be. Some people are not so easily finished.Complete
