A spoken command, threaded with gold, and their souls are his to control. Commanding where the die will roll and where the fates will twist. He is an Adler and an Adler allows no place for chance.
A flare of his veils, layered with mist and a bite of frost, and any opposing power is absorbed and dissolved. Rendering the powerful powerless. He is an Eisenhart, bending but never breaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charles Adler and William Eisenhart are forced to meet one another on equal ground, their opposing gifts rendered nullified.
Cast into one another's orbit by simple chance and a shared friend, Charles and William waver between acknowledging the dangerous charge between them and forging their set path in the world.
Charles stands as a testament to the Adler name and its achievements yet also longs carve a destiny with his own two hands.
William flutters, unsure and afraid, wishing to remain in the small instant he and Charles share together and yet aching to flee.
Their gifts are nullified but can their hearts and conflicting desires ever be?

But as the team uncovers the darker side of their mission, the shadows of betrayal loom large. With political unrest threatening the fragile peace, Kai realizes that being a guardian of the sky is far more dangerous than he ever imagined.

The chronical of Daniel Lumiére
New school. New home. New Life. New bullies. Daniel didn't ask for any of it. Yet here he is. Life still sucks. And he's had just about enough of it. However, the biggest challenge is yet to come. Afterall, has his shadow been moving on its own? Or is it just his imagination. Follow the story of 14-year-old Daniel as he learns how to get through life. How to grow up. And how to love in multiple ways. Opening his heart and mind to the world and people around him. Rated mature for: Swearing Mature concepts Violence This book is dedicated to everyone who inspired me, encouraged me and stuck by me while I debated giving up on the concept for this book altogether. You all know who you are... I wanted to tell a story that breaks the norm to some aspect. Where the main character is a boy, not a girl. Where he is not perfect. And where he is even a - not bad - but does bad things sometimes. It's a story of coming into yourself and forging your own path. Despite how hard that path can be to walk. Choices you face, how you'll react to them. What to do when you've done something bad and how you can fix it. If you should fix it. Each choice you make - weather you realize it or not - forges the person you are. For every door you close another one is waiting to be opened. This is not a perfect story, but it's one I want to tell. One that comes from a personal place in my heart and one that is born in reality and bathed in fantasy. This story will deal with aspects of both worlds. And sometimes touch on heavier topics. Be prepared, to read about a character who is the farthest thing from perfect. But he doesn't need to be. He just needs to be himself. Oh, how hard that truly is.

Can be read as a Stand-Alone) WARNING: This is one of the first books I started writing! Because it took a while to finish, the later Chapters have more of my newer (better) writing style compared to the beginning. This is a much more dramatic, angst type of book compared to my fluff-filled others. If you want slight frustration and cuteness all the way through, nearly every other book I have fits that description. Thank you ❤ Started: November 16, 2016 Completed: June 25, 2019Complete
