Enter Juniper Jones. The town's resident oddball and free spirit, she's everything the townspeople aren't-open, kind, and accepting.

As Ethan is confronted for the first time by what it means to be black in America, Juniper tries to help him see the beauty in even the ugliest reality, and that even the darkest days can give rise to an invincible summer . . .

When Edin awoke in a stranger's bedroom, having forgotten everything but his name and age, he did not expect to be thrown into an ongoing war. As a gifted - a rare group of humans born with special abilities - Edin is forced to become a guardian and protect the realm of Idelhen from monsters, lest mankind fall prey to darkness. Arden Mægenstern, Idelhen's strongest guardian and the last stand against a sorcerer more powerful than most gifteds combined, takes Edin under her wing and works with him to restore his memories. A fateful encounter with a beast deems Edin worthy of becoming a guardian, and his sheer power promises an end to the sorcerer's reign of terror. However, just as he's thrust onto the battlefield, he realizes that there are more monsters than the feral creatures he's forced to slay. And they're waging a war within him. As Edin's inner demons and obscure past creep out of the shadows, the world wonders whether he really is Idelhen's next hope or its demise in disguise. Only blood will tell.

Is unconditional adoration really too much to ask? Lucius sold his soul to change the world for the better. Of course, the definition of 'better' may have twisted over the years, but how is that his fault? After being torn away from the (one and ONLY, by the way) love of his life, some retaliation should be expected if not strictly required, and after finding the corpse of his dead friend walking around, shouldn't some crowbar-related maiming be forgiven? Oh, and after housing a parasitic vein infestation in his chest, shouldn't at least one tiny, horribly unethical blood ritual or two be justified? Apparently some would disagree, which seems strange to Lucius and the second Lucius inside Lucius' head. This is the third book in the Eternity series.

I sank deeper into my duvet as I shivered from the breeze that seeped through the cracks above the tinted window. I could hear faint murmurs on the other side of the door. The Murmurs turned into harsh whispers as I heard footsteps inching closer. I sunk further into the bed and shut my eyes tightly at the sound of the door creaking open. "Who are you fooling? I know you ain't sleep," the deep raspy voice spoke. I open my eyes to the old man smiling down at me with his hand behind his back. "Hey Grandpa." I sheepishly smiled before sitting up, "What are you doing here?" "Since you turn seven tomorrow, I thought that you deserve to open one of your presents earlier." He placed the dark sea green box before me that was secured with a golden ribbon. The silky fabric slipped between my small fingers as I pulled onto the ribbon, opening the box. Confusion overtook my excitement as I looked up at the old dark man, "what is it?" "A gift that has been passed down from every generation in the Lawson family." He smiled. I grabbed the circular shape necklace and narrowed my eyes on the engraving, "w-what does that say." I pointed out the symbols. "The Savior." He cooed. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That was the last time I ever saw or heard of my grandfather. It has been a decade and no one ever truly knows what happened to him after that night.

Chapter Three- "Let Me Call You Mr Styles." This story has nothing to do with Harry Styles (I had to use his name- and surname, they're so cute!) whereas his features and physical traits are. Mature content might be featured in a few chapters! - "You poor thing," he said, walking over to me, I could feel his energy moving across my room but I ignored it and packed the rest of the pieces of stuff inside my purse. He suddenly clenched onto my arms and pulled me nearer to him, positioning his hand on my cheek, I felt a type of warmth I had never felt in a long time and I instinctively smothered my face against his soft palm. "You're still the same," he chuckled. "I would have anticipated this behaviour from Bastet, not you but I guess you must have picked up her manner," he added. ☆FEATURED ON in YAFantasy RL 🏅#44 EGYPT 🏅#11 SPIRITUALITY 🏅#74 WOC 🏅#49 HS 🏅#15 PUBLISHED 🏅#10 PARANORMAL-ROMANCE
