Bane

Where there is power, there is fear. Especially when you don't know you're different. Seventeen-year-old Ari has never been one to wish for a life less ordinary. So when less ordinary lands her in a dark alley, alone and altered, she doesn't know how to cope or where to go. Her hands are still warm from the life she took—the life she loved. Her heart is broken from the cold place she has landed, away from the warmth of her family. Her mind is filled with memories of events that didn't happen. At least not to her. As impossible as it sounds, she realizes she is the reason her life has changed and the only one who can get it back. Her power, frightening as it is, can offer people a second chance. But everything has a cost. Book Two of the Devil's Roses.
