[Book Under Rewriting] ---- I had it all. Money. Power. Influence. People feared my name, and I could have anything I desired. Except happiness. Perhaps it was my mind, too sharp for a dull, predetermined world. Perhaps it was the urges I never could have realized due to society being as it is. Either way, boredom consumed me. My whole being. So, I ended it. Pills. Whiskey. Darkness. But death was not my end. It was my invitation. A new world. A new path. A cultivation that feeds on fear itself. This new beginning made me realize what true happiness really is... Watching others tremble. ---- Authors Note: This work is currently under a full rework.

On New Year’s Eve, which was supposed to be a happy moment for everyone, Yunah’s and Noah’s lives turned into a tragedy. A 15-year-old girl, Yunah Rai, happened to witness the accident of 10-year-old Noah Shrestha and his family. She blamed herself for the death of Noah’s parents, always believing that the accident had been caused by her. Though she succeeded in saving Noah’s life, she carried the guilt of his parents’ death. Even after years, she couldn’t heal or forgive herself for that incident. That accident completely changed her life. It became her deepest trauma. For Noah, however, it was completely different. He never blamed Yunah for the accident, because he knew the truth. Instead, he had been trying to find her his whole life, to thank her and repay the kindness of that night when she saved him. Deep inside, he had always yearned for her. From the moment she saved his life, it was love at first sight. Over the years, Noah painted countless pictures of Yunah from the time she was 15 and kept them hidden away in a private room where no one was ever allowed to enter. The red scarf, which Yunah had wrapped around him on the day of the accident became his treasure and a favourite scarf. She had become his secret, his obsession, a beautiful obsession. He didn’t care that she was older than him. All he wanted was for her to be in his life. And finally, after eight years, Noah meets Yunah again, this time in his school, just a week after he turned 18. Will Yunah ever fall for Noah, despite him being younger? Will she accept him? Will she forgive herself for the tragedy of that New Year’s Eve? To know all this, the story continues… SPOILER- "Noah, at just eighteen, is the leader of shadowveil and it is an underworld gang."

Hi, my name is Nikita Slater and I'm the International Bestselling author of The Queens series, Fire & Vice series, The Sanctuary series, Driven Hearts series and several standalone novels. I've loved the written word my entire life and am an avid reader, as well as a writer. I live, eat and breathe books and I'm always working on something new! ​ I live on the beautiful Canadian prairies with my son and crazy awesome dog. I have an unholy affinity for books (especially dark romance), wine, pets and anything chocolate. Despite some of the darker themes in my books (which are pure fun and fantasy), I am a staunch feminist and advocate of equal rights for all races, genders and non-gender specific persons. When I'm not writing, dreaming about writing or talking about writing, I love to help others discover a love of reading and writing through literacy and social work.

He touches her at every opportunity, lighting up her dark world with a kaleidoscope of colour, then pushing her away whenever she gets too close. But will he push her too far, into the arms of the stalker who lurks in the shadows?
