Emma Anabelle Lanor, heir to the Kingdom of Erreira, knows that the Elites are corrupt. But when she overhears a conversation between her father and Jamison Rengard, her future husband, she realizes things are worse than she could ever have imagined.    Determined not to be pushed around any longer and convinced she can change her destiny, she runs away from the palace, her only home.

Meanwhile, rebellion is brewing.  The Commoners are done with Elite nonsense and are determined to take back what is rightfully theirs.  The fight isn't easy, but the rebels-who call themselves Labyrinthians-aren't ones to give up.  

Simon Glades and Luke Avery are the Robin Hoods of the Labyrinth.  When a beautiful young girl in a golden dress with a sword at her hip stumbles into their hideout, they are to say the least skeptical.  However, she insists that she's not a spy, is creepily good at stealing from Elite women, and can really kick butt with a blade.

Emma, Simon, and Luke ally together, but the Labyrinth leaders may not be so welcoming.  Not to mention that there's a huge ransom on Emma's head.  Will Emma be able to conceal her identity from the masters of guise?  And if she doesn't, will the dark secret of her past break friendships and end with what she fears most: to be turned in to the Elites?

And who will prevail in the final clash of wills: the well-equipped, brutal Elites or the determined, fierce Commoners?

Aries Bristol is a bounty hunter. The best of the best, most terrifying, and she's a woman, frowned upon by all. "Women shouldn't fight," they say, on and on. "Women shouldn't get their hands dirty." "Women are weak." "Women are powerless." "Women are toys, puppets, made to look at and enjoy." They thought they were geniuses. Adding to her misery. She proved them wrong. And she always will. ●●●●● When she is called upon by an Aristocrat, Aries is hired to find a Demhi---a person---a race--- that is immortal. But she knows they don't exist anymore. They didn't die, no, they disappeared. As if they never existed. ...Didn't they? So, of course, she finds this bounty dumb... until she is paid one hundred thousand for the job, enough to sustain her for life... As she goes on her mission, she defeats many people, from drunken thugs to gang leaders. She also gets visons, dreams, and prompting from her Patron goddess, Thana, the goddess of death. As she is fulfilling her job, she meets a man. A very enigmatic figure, one she comes to know as he confronts her and travels alongside her. As they travel together, they bond, becoming good friends...or more. They unveil a path of dark secrets... some connected to their pasts. In the midst of all this, Aries deals with depression, suffering from past traumas, as well as realizing her growing feelings for this man. As the novel escalates, Aries needs to find comfort in her own skin and not to live in the past, as well as differ good from evil.

Book Three: Ryan Tedder is the face of the newly-formed rebellion, but he thinks he's only half the man for the job. Although he holds a deep rage for President Carter, he doesn't think he's fit to lead the one rebellion that will last. Yet his anger is justified - not only does this dictatorship hold a terrifying reign over the nation, but it's filled to the brim with lies. For instance, there is no war between the United Kingdom and the United States. All the horrors the U.S. had unleashed were not because of a war, but merely gain for a power-hungry tyrant. Yet with the help of a group of trained and combat-ready rebels called "The Green," led by tough and tactical genius Daryl Conley, Ryan holds hope that he will, at last, be able to live his life free again. With Daryl and his group's help, Ryan, his bandmates, and others close to him must find ways to bring the government down, all while they're labeled public enemies and fugitives. On top of being committed for treason, Ryan must continue to find a way to save Ramona from the waves of her returned depression before they finally drown her. There's no doubt he's got a lot on his plate, but he may be the only one who can lead the nation back to independence - and being only half a man isn't going to cut it. © 2017 by Verona Rohellec.
