Abused and thrown away in a container, Mallory, eighteen years old, thinks that this is it; this is how her life is ending and what a tragic life it has been. But fate isn't done with her yet. Hunter Brown, a low-life gangster, is passing by an alleyway when he is alerted by the cries from a rolled-up carpet thrown in a container. She told him to let her die, but he decided to save her life. This is a novel about generations of secrets of the Wraith family being unfolded and an abused and broken girl who has to run for her life while trying to heal and start over. ________________________________________ Mallory walked into the dayroom, balancing a stack of dirty plates in her hands, each step echoing heavily on the floor. Seizing the moment, an uninterested Calvin Wraith decided to trip her as she passed by his seat, where he was engrossed in playing Snake on his phone. With a loud crash, Mallory stumbled and fell, sending the plates crashing to the ground and scattering everywhere. The commotion caught Mrs. Wraith's attention, and she rushed into the room, fuming with anger at the chaos. "Stupid girl!" Mrs. Wraith scolded and placed a hard slap across Mollory's face. With ringing ears and burning tears in her eyes, Mallory took a deep breath, striving to keep her voice steady as she pleaded, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Wraith. I'll clean this up right away." Lowering her gaze, she could hear Calvin snickering from the sofa, a smug grin on his face. "Yes, you will. I expect this room to be spotless in under an hour," Mrs. Wraith snapped, shoving Mallory aside before storming out. "Why did you do that?" Mallory asked, her voice strained as she looked up at Calvin after Mrs. Wraith had closed the door. Calvin stood up and moved closer, stopping just inches away from the frightened Mallory.

Ava is a reclusive bookworm who only ever sees the same few people from day to day. She rarely leaves her home, but she loses herself in her books and her own writing. The adventures that she allows her characters to embark upon are plenty the outside world that she needs. James wants the world in the palm of his hand and he's being fed that on a silver platter, but there's no danger or excitement to his life like he craves. He'd much rather go out and be adventuring than just sitting and receiving the kingdom without putting in anything. These two unlikely lovers cross paths thanks to a bit of magic, but trouble is brewing right under their noses. Ava's past and James' present combine into one very bitter demon who's more than happy to steal James' kingdom from him. Not if Ava has anything to say about it. (Or a weird combination of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, a bit of Aladdin, and demons. Take it as you will.)

"NO!" Ralph screams as he watches as Jake, the one he called a friend stabs Astrid in her stomach. "It's over." He says with a sadistic smile on his face as he lets go of the knife handle ready to take a step back but can't. "No. It's not." Astrid says through gritted teeth as she grabs him by the neck with the last of her strength. He suddenly starts to feel cold then she lets him go falling to her knees. Jake starts to laugh at her pathetic attempt but stops short when sees ice covering his hands. "What did you do?" He asks as he looks at her in shock as she pulls out the knife, applying pressure to her wound as blood starts to appear on her lips. "You don't need to know because it's over for you." She says as he lets out a scream as he's completely covered in ice. "Karma is a bitch." Astrid says before darkness takes over just as the immobilization spell around Ralph is broken by his magic responding to his emotion.
