Publisher's Synopsis
When we are faced with a guarantee, the one thing in life that is a true rarity, how many of us would really take it when the temptation of the unknown pulls at our heart to see, to satisfy more than just curiosity but the lust and addiction of what we believe at that moment to be what we really want? Imagine standing at a fork in the road, on one side you are faced with safety and security, the other contains the unknown, and yet, it demands your attention, peaks your interest, and ultimately tempts your curiosity....which road would you choose? More importantly, when you reached the end, if you had a chance to go back to the decision you made, knowing now where the outcome would take you, would you take the detour or chose the straight path to get you to your final destination? I think it's safe to say the general response would be "It depends a great deal on the final destination." But whether good or bad, I ask you to consider this, are the choices we face really ever more than two options that will eventually lead us exactly where we are meant to be, and who we are meant to be with; the only true factors are the length of time it takes for us to arrive and the person we become along the way. "Dark Hearts Arise," the first of the "A. Heart's Destiny" series, challenges you to question whether we control where our path goes, or is it all been predestined? Through a series of events, you will be transported into the once perfect world of Avery Heart, to the dark and dangerous place it has become. Every choice she must make (to be the Heroine or the Villain, to be with the man she once loved, or the man she has fallen in love with, to keep Pandora's box open, or shut it close without looking back) leading her either closer or further away from the life she was meant to live. It is up to you, the reader, to decide if where she winds up is the path she was meant to be on all along. Set in the present time of New York City, a young college couple are strolling the streets of Brooklyn and find themselves in an extremely unfortunate situation. The tragedy of that night spirals the female main character, Avery Heart, into a world full of unexpected hatred and vengeance which ultimately transforms her into a completely different person. She is dark and dangerous, and ready to see the world burn. She will not stop until she finds peace and make all those guilty suffer. Upon meeting a mysterious individual, Avery is given the opportunity of using her newly acquired and deadly skills to continue her wrath in a more organized and premeditated way, paid to kill. It is with this dark, mysterious and confident charmer that Avery is faced with the realization that she may not be the person she thought she was, and must decide the path she wants to take. In the arms of her mysterious charmer she is one person but the memory of her first love and the person she once was still lingers heavily over her head, promising her that all can be forgiven if she just come back to the life she once lived. She has the opportunity of a second chance that not many are fortunate to have. Avery knows the person she's become, the horrible unspeakable things she's done but could she really go back to a life where the sky was blue and the birds sang or would she just be lying to herself because she was destined to live on the darker side of life amongst the shadows. Now that she's opened Pandora's box, the unknown begs to remain open with the promise of an alluring adventure up ahead, but one where her life may come to an untimely end. It's an intense mix of who she wants to be, a Heroine or a Villain and ultimately who she was meant to be with, her first love and second chance at normality or the man she's fallen in love with and the dangers of the world he's given her.
