Deadly Knightshade - La série

College student, Dani, lives in a safe little bubble. Her life is dictated by a disease she cannot control or understand and medication that barely keeps the horrors at bay. Little does she know, her mother is hiding dark secrets. Secrets that reside within Dani's very blood. Something inside her is awakening, and the arrival of two very handsome and mysterious strangers marks the derailing of everything Dani knows. Her mother is wrenched violently from her life, and Dani must learn to fend for herself in a world she doesn't truly know or understand. At least she has the help of her trusty German Shepherd, Shadow, and her incredibly hot best friend, Charlie. But in Knight City, everyone has secrets. Dark pasts collide, and Dani finds herself in a world she never imagined, with powers unknown and an enemy unseen. In this new world, who can she trust beyond herself? Can she even trust that?

Hi, I'm Cade. I've had a rough go of it lately. Well, not just lately, but things are looking up. I've been accepted into the Willard B. Haven Academy for the Gifted, aka Haven Academy. Don't get any crazy ideas about the Gifted part. I'm really smart, but I'm not a genius or anything. Haven Academy is a... (*looks around then whispers behind hand*) Superhero school. Yep, I'm a Supe. I'm beginning a new chapter in my life: powers, training, a future I never dreamed of. And a super sexy roommate who's quickly transitioning himself from friend to boyfriend. Something's off with Deven though. And I get a big fat eyeful of his personal brand of crazy when the Legion of Guardians drops in with a wanted villain. *Ahem*... Sexy, brooding, bad boy for one, please? When I touch Inferno, trying to keep Deven from beating him to death, something happens. I see a vision. A SOUL vision. Of us. Me and a villain? No way. Now I need to figure out who's really the villain before it's too late, and breaking into supe prison will be the easiest thing I do this year.

As Dani's superhero training commences and her powers continue to grow, she finds that all is not what it seems. Something about the academy director doesn't quite sit right with her, but she chooses to put her faith in her long-time best friend turned boyfriend, Charlie. This is his world, his people, and she wants to be part of it. But trust doesn't come cheap in Knight City. There are more truths to learn about her past... and her present. She has allies unknown and enemies unimaginable. Dani finds herself in a world of gray, fed lies mixed with truths and truth laced with misinformation. There are two sides to every coin, and Dani is starting to realize she's going to have to pick a side. She must decide who will get her trust. And who will get her love. But sometimes, the ones we love cut us the deepest.

They say that, when you’re bleeding to death from a traumatic injury, you go numb before you die. Your body gets cold and starts to shut down, granting you the slightest reprieve from the pain. I looked it up after Mom died. I wanted to believe, to think that her final few seconds were numb rather than filled with the pain of every bit of destruction those monsters inflicted on her. It didn’t make me feel better, but at least now I can say it’s true. My injury might not be physical but I’m definitely bleeding. The pain bled into rage, which gave way to a deep, impenetrable cold. I’m numb, but I know the pain and rage are right there waiting, just beneath the surface, ready to lend their strength when I need them. When it’s time. My vengeance won’t be sweet. It will be bitter and violent and bloody. There will be cutting and tearing and the rending of flesh. I can’t cry. Not yet. Once I let the grief in, I’ll break. There’s no time to break. Not until everyone who hurt them is dead. I refrained from killing an unarmed Pixie Dust, but I will kill her. I gave them a warning. They know I’m coming. But the thrill of the hunt will make it all the more satisfying when I rip them to pieces. My last order of business will be to make sure the entire world knows. To give every Descendant the chance to repent, fight, or flee. Then I’ll destroy anyone who stands against me. I’ll hunt down anyone who runs. I’m coming for the Descendants. And there’s no one left who’s powerful enough to stop me.

In the aftermath of an epic battle between the forces of good and evil, Dani's true destiny will unfurl. Her fury will be unleashed, her true power unbound. Balance must be restored. And anyone who stands in her way, can go to Hell. But the hellscape of this journey is taking its toll. Dani is changing, and she will face her greatest battle to date. The battle within herself. Justice vs. Vengeance... Angel vs. Demon... Which side of her nature will be victorious as Hell whispers in her ear? And will her humanity survive?
