A novel about damnation, hope, and redemption.
Hidden beneath the abandoned city of Bimini lies the most damned place on earth. It's a place where the innocent are reborn into monsters; a place where the spirits of the dead shed tears; and a place where Allegra can only dream of escaping.
Welcome to the Arena.
Week after week, the blood of adolescent boys soaks the ground as they're forced to fight in deadly matches, all for the pleasure of twisted criminals. None is worse than Ryker, Allegra's master, who watches the fights with money in his eye and whiskey on his breath. She's survived for this long, but it's only a matter of time before she succumbs to his cruelty as well.
Can salvation come in the form of a homeless boy, rechristened as Dog, who's been unstoppable inside the ring? Or will his heart be eclipsed by violence, leaving him doomed to be another dead monster?
In the Arena, you're either a killer or a victim.

(OLD) Forever Desires
The updated & edited version of this story is now on Wattpad!: https://www.wattpad.com/story/43967583-forever-desires A trigger was pulled...and it wasn't mine. ※※※ Ever and her team had been locked in the arena for seven years, and throughout those seven years she has been tortured, played with and lied to. Her trust in everyone was slipping and her confused feeling for the boy she's known since she was six, was starting to pull her back -- keeping her from being who she was and her duty. Her duty was to rid the world of this terrible game called, 'The Emag', (formerly known as 'The Bloody Desires'). Why? She didn't want others to experience her pain and confusion. She wanted children to be safe -- to be loved. Not torn to pieces by machines and not starved to death. Even with her thorough planning, nothing ever went as planned. Captured. Humiliated. Tortured. All again. Ever was beginning to wonder if her plan would succeed...and if she could finally escape the abuse once and for all, well keeping her team alive. (Trailer by me)Concluida
