When one chance encounter goes wrong, a teen finds herself in the center of a state-wide scandal.

The Empire of Tsurina in the East and The Empire of Albine in the West have been warring for a mere two years yet the damage to both sides is palpable. The casualties are increasing, their resources are depleting at an alarming rate, and their people are beginning to lose their faith.

Seeing this, they decide to concede and instead strengthen ties between their nations with an irresistable offer: a royal engagement. It causes an uproar as there is no precedent for neither noble engagements nor royal engagements between the two empires–– they haven't even interacted outside of the war!

For such a political gamble, this is a risk that requires the utmost care and a cunning trick. An equal marriage is what they need, as all things must be, and in order to truly respect this alliance they wish to form. An illegitimate princess of Albine and an illegitimate prince of Tsurina are royally engaged to one another. All is not as it seems with the pair and their secrets run deep. Will they ever learn to trust one another? Will they prove the masses right–– that they are nothing but devils in disguise who seek to destroy the empires–– or will they crumble under the weight of this new responsibility? There is only one thing that we know: this marriage will not be easy.

Thirteen Keys to rule the world.
Only one Key to judge them all.... more>>

Ezra King may not have been the coolest, the tallest, or the most athletic, but he had always proven to be the most dependable. A persona that lent itself well to the mantle of class president. He was a junior in high school, and no one could deny his efforts - and neither could they get close enough to look behind his shiny facade.
Wherever darkness hid in plain sight, he would be there to enforce the will of his master, Ophiuchus. As his alter ego "Renegade", he would inevitably try and judge whoever was unlucky enough to find their name on his hit list.

But when someone in his personal life suddenly falls victim to a crime, he finds himself drawn into an endless loop of hiding and self-doubt, torn between conflicts of loyalty and feelings of pain he has never faced before. Was sleeping with men he'd just met the answer, or was he just running away from that one guy who suddenly burst into his life and never wanted to leave?
And will any of this even matter, as the Keys, which open the door to the underworld, are targeted by an unknown group of people? Now they need to keep all hell from breaking loose.

However, royal bloodlines are a thing of the past and no longer... more>> guarantee a person's wealth and prosperity. Tired of the countless wars that had stained the pages of history books from poor leadership and corruption, a monumental change occurred. It was the creation of The Agoge.

There, they no longer belong to their parents but to the governing system. It is the most grueling system of government and some children die in the process. It is not a parent's responsibility to raise children for society, but The Agoge's responsibility to determine which children are not fit for it... and if they are resourceful enough, the ones who are. <<less
