Daniella Brochuete's world is turned upside down after she dreams of attending a ball. This would be a typical fairytale dream, if it weren't for the fact that a beautiful amulet she envisions in the dream, she ends up finding in real life. This amulet later leads her to be the target of manhunt as she tries to discover the dark truth about her family, and to locate her abducted loved one, before it is too late.

Blood and Honor
I never questioned the life I was living. A rising ballerina. A penthouse overlooking New York. A powerful, wealthy father, and Kayce. My brother, my best friend. It started with a stranger in the shadows. A man who watched me from across the street, vanishing the moment I looked his way. Something about him felt familiar, like fate pulling us together. And then the cracks began to show. A masquerade ball cloaked in secrets. Whispers of betrayal. My brother's sudden disappearance, and the devastating truth that shattered everything I thought I knew. Now, nothing was safe. Not my family. Not the world I trusted. Not even my heart. There were secrets buried beneath the glittering surface of my life. And that mysterious man in the shadows? He may be the only one who could help me uncover the truth, even if trusting him changed everything. In a world ruled by Blood and Honor, trust is the deadliest choice of all.Complete

Freedom was supposed to be simple. But nothing in my life ever turns out simple. Just down the road, past the places I thought I knew by heart, there's another world-one I never imagined existed.
