Open Wounds: An Enemies to Lovers Science Fiction Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798346692614)

Both of our desires were tarnished by our families, bowing to their wishes, which ultimately led to loss and tragedy. It stole parents' trust for one's child who fought so dearly to fulfil his desires as it brought bloodshed to one's doorstep. After death struck both our paths, silence fell between us as dark as night. As time passed in trying to escape the pain, so did our rage and hatred for each other. It wasn't until fate brought us back to each other's feet that we were reminded of the truth-of what we had done to one another to secure our families' longings. At Aaleyah Institute, as the days went by, the memories of what once brought us together resurfaced, just as the past tore us apart.
Now, I only ask myself what will become of us as we descend into destruction and chaos, finding ourselves at the edge of our battlefield.

Open wounds is a fantasy romance set in the Realm of Evara, where a Vylkrian girl named Ashlynn Branwenn-a daughter of the fearsome Keno Kazimir-finds an anomaly that has been inked over her back ever since a near-fatal encounter in the Sacred Forest. When she arrives at the Aaleyah Institute, she begins a relentless search for any trace of information about this mark, any thread that could unravel its meaning and why it has appeared on her.
Even though she finds herself wrapped in this mystery, she cannot ignore the stir of emotions reawakening when she encounters the boy she knows all to well from the past, a son of her family's enemy, Grayson Acheron at the Aaleyah Institute. The boy who cost her more than her flesh; she's convinced he's the reason her father turned against her ... or so she tells herself, wary of confronting the deeper, more painful truth.

Why should you read this book?

Open wounds depicts the fear of falling for someone when you've been hurt so deeply and so often that you've come to believe love is beyond you. It's about characters whose hearts yearned but felt as if though they had to shut it down to avoid the scars from their past-a past that has chipped away at them more than they'd like to admit. I want you to read this book to witness how often we remain unaware of our brokenness until we start recognizing what we truly deserve for our sacrifices. And to know this: no love is worth breaking yourself to satisfy someone else's needs.
