Death was somewhat a stranger to Celeste Valois, until she saw the walls of her home painted red with blood. Then death became a constant companion, a shadow looming over her. She just wished it would take her, take her like it had taken everyone she loved. But it seems like she has a destiny to fulfill , a kingdom to save , a monster to kill and lives to change. A long path of suffering lies in front of her, but she won't be alone. There's a grey eyed boy with a heart full of hatred , a boy who's smile reminds her of the the sun and a girl who looks for stories in the stars ; they say they'll walk with her.

Or the story in which four traumatized teenagers save a country and realize that monsters are not born, they are created.

Celeste had just carefully returned Thomas's sketches to his bag when Karen's cry of joy startled her. When she turned back, Karen had already thrown her arms around her brother and was rambling frantically. Thomas, despite being injured held his twin as close as he could. 


" Miss me ?" He said weakly. Karen made a noise between a laugh and a sob 


" You absolute twat!" She cried. " You gave me a heart attack you big buffoon! God, you and Will are going to give me grey hairs before I'm twenty! " 


Celeste bit back a smile. Being a sister to a reckless idiot herself, she knew exactly how Karen felt. 


" God Tommy!" Will breathed from where he was standing. There was so much more behind those two words, but it was hard to decipher. He ran a hand through his hair and gave Thomas a visibly forced smile. 


" I thought I was supposed to be the idiot who got himself hurt. You were supposed to be the calm and sane influence!"
