Book 1 of A Tale in a Thunderstorm.

In the beginning, there were always just three things. A beginning, a present and an end. When you've lived for as long as the Councilmen of Greyston, you start to realize that you know there was a beginning, you've lived centuries into the present and that the end is nearer than you think. But if you found out that the end was a person, wouldn't you just kill him and live forever.  Well if so then you're exactly what the Council is like.  In this day and age times are harder than ever and you need to rely on people to have your back till the end. Not only are there mind breaking advances in Science and Technology, there are beasts that breathe fire, monsters the size of your roof and creatures with wings that can quite literally fly with a hundred people on its back. Compared to how you're living now, the struggles these kids have to go through every day makes you think you're problems are lightweight. 

Six of these kids who live in this day and age are Vann Vernard, Nyro Slevon, Tierra Devi, Nico Amano, Carmen Princeton and Stephanie Bryon. Each has to take part in these struggles and each has struggles of their own. Vann Vernard has suffered from the loss of his entire family for years, Nyro Slevon has suffered humiliation beyond repair, Tierra Devi lost her title of undefeated, Nico Amano and Carmen Princeton's friendship is threatened by lies and secrets and Stephanie Bryon has to suffer the unfairness that comes with her gift. Read in the perspective of these kids and take a decent slice out of their books. Sit back, relax and well, enjoy the show!

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders. But that was over a year ago, so it shouldn't bother her when she sees him with his best friend, Mason Van der Gelt, in the busy dining hall on her university...right? Her best friend, Harper Green, decides to take the situation into her own hands by fulfilling the promise she had given Evelyn the year before, that if she ever met him, she'd break his heart. An eye for an eye. Operation Dickbag's Heartbreak. Yet, as the plan proceeds, Evelyn starts to date Mason, almost falling for his charm and sincerity. Almost. Her heart was still Liam's, no matter how damaged it may be. This proves to be a problem when Harper falls for him as well. Everything changes when Liam reveals his own feelings and the truth behind why he hurt Ev. Commitments and loyalty become a house of cards in a hurricane as truths start to spill, leaving their chances at happiness to hang by a thread. Fair warning, there are detailed sex scenes and a shit ton of cursing.
