Many years ago, the world was filled with colors. The beauty was spread around the world, until everything was taken over by a cruel man, who forbids color to the world. The cities were re-built in black, grey and white. If anyone was to wear, see, use, create a color, they were locked in prison. It’s been almost 100 years since the day the change was made, and today’s Ruler, Sky Blackbone, is planning on celebrating the event with a large feast.
Young people have been meeting in secrecy. What are they doing? Are they planning a revolution? Would they dare go against the Ruler?
In this sci-fi color-rebel book, inspired by Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto, find out what a world would be like if it had no colors. How the world was forced into darkness and silence.

Will she surrender to the relentless pursuit, or fight back? ~~~ I round the corner to see a group of freakishly-tall and handsome men. There were three men in the group, one instantly stood out to me even with his back toward me. He had deep black hair and I could tell strong lean muscles were hidden beneath his button-up shirt. I falter in my steps a bit, something in my mind telling me to go another way, to ask someone else for help with directions. But I keep walking closer. Something else within me tells me it will be okay. As I get closer, the two men who were facing my direction look towards me and I stop, keeping a safe distance. Hopefully they are able to help me, and not turn me away just because I'm a human. "Hi, um, could you tell me where the front desk is?" The man whose back was facing towards me stiffened. "I think I'm a little..." The man turned toward me so quickly it made my heartbeat waver. His deep blue eyes pierced into my brown ones and called out to me. His jawline was chiseled to perfection, lips parted slightly in awe. Every feature of his face was meticulously handcrafted by God. I never thought I could find a wolf so elegant. He was...beautiful. Something in the air shifted. I could feel it in my bones. "...lost," I finished my sentence after a brief pause. No one answered me. Did I say something wrong? I look between the three of them and see that the two men behind the man who was staring so intently at me were looking between me and him. "Mate."
