    Summary

    Princess Andromeda of Lilindell’s safety is of the utmost importance, so her guards must be chosen very carefully—guards that flock to the palace like suitors, to compete against one another in a series of tests to prove themselves worthy of protecting the future queen. What neither the princess nor her steely-eyed father know is that one of these guards is actually a simple village girl, masquerading as a male guard under the name of “Capelle”, come to the palace with one goal in mind—a goal that, under no circumstances, can the intriguing and strangely alluring princess know.
    Only one problem—

    This entire tale takes place within a storybook that someone picked up from the local library and forgot about. The enigmatic Capelle is, in fact, a starry-eyed teenage boy with hair the color of gold named Chase, and the fabled Princess Andromeda, a sulky stranger with a strange grasp on humanity named Nox.

    Summary

    Swimming means jumping in the water. Swimming means drowning, for the tiniest of seconds, before you fight to breathe again. Swimming means making the choice against stagnation.

    or-

    He's either drowning, or surviving. If only there was a difference.

    Summary

    The symptoms of chronic intestinal failure: vomiting, abdominal pain, physical weakness, malnutrition. The symptoms of malnutrition: decreased muscle strength, fatigue, and appetite loss.

    After three long, tedious years of being stuck in the same hospital bed, Nox decided he was done. Done with the doctors, and the needles, and the endless onslaught of hope. Done with all of it. At this point, the only thing he looked for was death.

    Death, and that cute boy with the smile.

    Summary

    Chase Hollow’s cousin survived the 70th annual Hunger Games by luck. Four years later, Chase isn’t so lucky.

    Reaped on his final eligible year, he’s thrust into the arena with nothing but bad odds, the shadow of a fluke victory, and a District partner who wants nothing to do with him—maybe even wants him dead.

    Flukes rarely happen twice.

    Summary

    Chase and Deacon Hollow usually had nothing and wanted nothing to do with their grandfather’s long-time rivalry with the town’s poshest, most stuck-up lady. Like how water flowed and how the apple fell, that was the natural order of things.

    That was until an unsolicited ‘Diane Forenski cordially invites you to an afternoon garden reception in celebration of her dear grandson’s arrival in Sugar Springs…’ landed in Chase’s reluctant hands. And then suddenly, with the arrival of one smug, snarky, blue-eyed boy powered by a quiet obsession with chocolate and all things shiny, Chase found himself very much entangled in the Hollow-Forenski feud.

    Or: Buddy is Diane’s grandson
